FRAUD ORDER AGAINST DEXTER
Inmate of; Jail Accused Of Land Fraud
Forbidden Use Of Mails.

tHmat0 OF y AL ACCUSED OF GaHo FRAUD
Forbidden Use Of Mails.
| Special to Times Republican
Fort Dodge May 22.-Altho at the
present time an inmate ofthe Webster
county jail the United States govern
ment has fears that A. Ira Dexter, of
the National Land Company, of Ago
ma, will still be able to continue swind-
ling the farmers, and for this reason a
fraud order was issued against him
Monday. which forbids him the use of
the United States mails.
Dexter's home is at Burt, Iowa. He
is a maui Of 40 years of age and ac-
cording to the answer he has filed with
the government owns no property of
any nature. He has served two years
In e'penitentiary at Anamosa on the
charge\of obtaining goods under false
pretensS and lately evolved a scheme
to get farmers to sign pretended
contract so phrased as to give an idea
that the farmer is agreeing to pay the
National Land Company, of Algona, the
sum ofS1 per, acre If the company sells
his land when the purpose was to OBJ
ligate the farmer to pay 81 for the pur-
pose of listing his property for sale
i nc AlSptClOf WHO has peen WORKING
on the case at Algona reports that al
tho Dexter is in Jail here he has Sc
cured in the neighborhood Of 200 con-
tracts OF this nature and Is receiving
from so to 100 letters a day. AS soon
as the contracts are received, accord
ing to the inspector, 1t is the custom of
Dexter to transmit the same to his
wife, whence they 60 to an attorney
for collection.
The attention Of the federal author
tiles was called to the work of the man
some tirne ago by Attorney NJ F. Healy
ofthis city, after he had defrauded a
number Of the farmers in this part OF
the state, and Dexter was arrested and
bound over to the federal grand jury,
which meets in Fort Dodge on June IL.
Being unable to furnish the necessary
bonds, he was placed IN the county JAN,
but since coming here has received a
number of letters addressed to the Ma
tional Land Company.

the other night some common burglars
worked hard to break open bank

Yet Ephrata Is considered a frontier

ridden in on horseback, shot up the
town and carried off what money they
needed. We are becoming less pictur-

CLEAN UP YOUR PREMISES

Health Officer Hughes has, during the past week, posted in conspicuous places about town a notice warning the citizens to clean up their premises and refrain from dumping garbage and other filthy substances where it will sndanger the public health.
 This is a move in the right direction, and should meet the approval and coop eration of every resident of Wrangell for various reasons. The main objection to the promiscuous- dumping of garbage in the streets and other public places is the attendant danger of breeding eontagion. Warm weather, such as we have been enjoying for the past two weeks, is an admirable time for the incubation of the germs of disease, and everybody should lend willing hand in helping to reduce this danger to minimum.
 Another reason why the town should be kept clean is on account of the im- pression which t will create in the minds of people coming in from other places. And in this connection ws may say that garbage Is not the only thing that will leave bad impression upon outsiders; but there are a number of old aRd vacant ramshackle buildings in town which look very bad, and which would make excellent conductors of fire from one good building to another. They should all be condemned as "fre-traps" and torn down.
 Eternal vigilance is the price of safe. ty." "An ounce of prevention is worth . pound of cure.' "A stitch in time, saves nine." Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Clean up your rubbish and tear down your frs-traps.
