FARMERS WERE DUPEO
BY AURSERYMEN
Three Young Agents Arrested
at Rugby and brot to Minot
Charged with SwindIing Far
,mers at MohalI, Sherwood, Ken
mare and Other Places,

Three young men from Mime
apolis, two of whom are Jorgen-
son and Danielson, were arrested
at Rugby by Deputy Sheriff Ed
Kelley, charged with padding the
bills of nursery goods, which
were sold to farmers. They were
in the employ of the Sherman
Nursery Co. and the general
agent of the concern, D. A. Kid
der, caused their arrest. They
have been working in the vicin-
ity of Mohall, Sherwood, New
port, Kenmare and Rugby and it
is said that they worked the bust
ness in this manner.
They would go to a farmer and
secure his order for gooseberries
for instance at fifty cents q doz-
en-. It is alleged that they would
fill in the amount per dozen only
and get the farmer to sign his
name to the order and after
wards they would fill in any num-
Der of dozen they wished. Thus
a farmer might believe he was
buying five dollars worth Of stock
when in reality he had signed an
order for fifty or sixty dollars
worth.
It is said that Mr.. Kidder has
numerous letters from farmers
VIII, complained of the way the
agents treated them. One far
mer said he thot he was buying
$3.25 worth Of stock but he af-
forwards learned that he had
signed an order for 1914 worth.
Tee young men were placed in
Jail over night and Judge Muir
ray let them out on their own re-
cognizance. They are bright
appearing young fellows and we
hope that they will be able to ex-
plain the matter satisfactory at
their hearing next Saturday.

POINT To BECKER.
Circumstances Indicate That He Killed
the Staffeldt Girl.

New York, May 25.-Further dam
aging evidence has been found against
Henry Becker. the suspect held for
| the murder of Amelia Staffeldt. at
| Elmhurst, L. L. Wednesday, according
to the police today.
Following the dramatic confession
of Becker before the coffin of the girl,
in which he said that he saw the MUIR
der committed and claimed that it was
done by a man in whose company he
was, but whose name he did not know,
the police report that they found in a
Chinese laundry at Elmhurst a shirt
which Becker had taken there shortly
after the girl was murdered.
The shirt had two large spots upon
it, which looked as though they were
blood stains. The shirt was obtained
by means of a laundry ticket that was
found in Becker's pocket.
The discovery of the garment, with
it's suspicious spots, is considered
significant in view of Becker's state
ment that he had nothing to do with
the murder excepting that he stood by
as a witness The police argue that
the stains, if they are blood, could not
have been made unless Becker stood
closer to the victim of the crime than
he admits.
Another link in the chain of in
eliminating evidence is a small hand
kerchief which Becker had in his pos
session. In one corner there Is en-
broidered the initials IS" The hand
kerchief missed on Wednesday
afternoon by Mrs. Eva Simonson
shortly after the disappearance of
Becker and his companion. who had
cleansed their hands at her pump.
There are several small spots upon
the handkerchief. The detectives be-
lieve they are blood stains. They will
hey analysed by a chemist. Mrs.
Simonson has identified the handker-
chief as that of her son.

description of Becker's companion
and have every confidence that they
will have him in custody within "a
hours.

BIG DAY FOR STERLING.
Prominent Merchant Hires Bands and
Autos to Entertain.

Sterling, Kan, May 25.-May "a, 1907,
will long be remembered as a great day
for Sterling, due entirely to the gem
erosity of Geo. A Morris, one of Ster-
fng's leading merchants who planned
and carried it out, and paid all expenses
himself, as everything was absolutely
free the only condition being that each
one receiving q ticket must call in per
son for it at the Morris store The crowd
was estimated at four thousand people.
Promptly at two o'clock the procession
formed on Broadway and led by the,
Sterling band marched to new fair
grounds where the following program
was carried out: Music by the Sterling
and the Saxman bands. Six large autos
were kept busy giving the ladies free
rides of five miles around the race track.
This feature was certainly enjoyed by
the ladies'; they kept the autos crowded
all afternoon. The ball game between
Sterling and Alden was interesting
Sterling in the last half of the ninth in
ming, with two men out, and two
strikes on the third man snatched vic
tory out of what seemed sure defeat
Score to 9. This was the first game
Sterling has played with their new red
suits on, which were purchased and
paid for by Geo. A. Morris, and they
will be known hereafter as the Morris
Reds. There were two horse races; the
first was won by Frank Swartz's horse
the second by Mr.. Hastons horse. This
was good advertisement for Mr.. Nor
ris and has been rightly named the
Morris day, and the Morris way.
