Score another victim for the writer
of the vivid land prospectus. A
wealthy old farmer recently appeared
before a district judge in a Western
Kansas county and asked for judg.
ment against a land firm in Chicago
because they had swindled him on a
deal in old Mexico. The judge ques-
toned the old man, who, by the way,
had earned fortune of over $4,000
by honest and hard work on the farm
in his own community.
elbow is it you purchased this land
without seeing it?'' the Judge inquired
of the farmer, says the Chicago
Tribune.
"'Well, the writin sent me by this
firm said l could double my profits in
a year, and that s whole lot better
than havin' my money in the bank.
And these fellers said the banks were
not safe, either. That is why bought
the land. L bought it before L saw it,
because they said it might all be gone
if 1 waited a week longer"
Thus it goes-stung, stung, stung.
Farmers and city men, too, for that
matter, fall a prey to the lurid writing
of the land prospectus builder This
new CRATER, or CRATER, in the world
of business is making hay while the
sun shines. He is reaping a rich re-
ward for his labor Bankers say hun
dreds and thousands of dollars are
leaving their vaults to go into the cof-
fers of so-called big land firms who are
selling out large tracts of wild land in
the West. They have the farmer and
investor believing land is better in
vestment than a bank account. And
so it is-if the land is all that is said
for it
Fortunes have been made in Western
land in the last few years. There are
farmers in many sections of the Middle
West who have gone into Texas, New
Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and else
where and taken up cheap land and
sold it again for big profits. These
men talk about it, and the ever-present
land booklet writer takes their story
and sends il all over the country, mag
nifying and adding color to suit his
particular section, of course.
A satisfied customer in Western lands
is a gold mine to a good ''wildcat y
land company. They often sell some
few responsible men in each commd-
nifty land at low price, and resell it
for them in a few months at profit in
order to get their Endorsement. They
can afford to buy the lands in them
selves.
Land is sold in these modern times
through advertising largely. The old
system of having hundreds of sub
agents scattered over the country
re unding up the purchasers and taking
them West on free railroad passes has
been eliminated by the railroads cut
ting off the passes, and the land IS
now sold by advertising direct to the
purchaser.
It requires clever writers to fix the
dope. - But there axe clever young
men in the West who know how to
WELD a pen in holding faneiful opin.
ion about beautiful tracts of land open
for settlement These young men are
not graduates of advertising schools;
many of them have never seen the in
s. de of a college. but thny have been
brought up out West and they know
how to write about their country so ii
interests others.

GETS SIXTY DAY SENTENCE.
Henry Hendricks Found Guilty OF Lar
ceny and Will Serve Term
In Jail.

Tuesday afternoon the case of The
People vs. Henry Hendricks, charged
with having stolen sum of money and
bottle of whiskey from one David
Pennock, came up for trial in Justice
Bulger's court.
Prosecuting Atty. w. L. Mason rep
resented the People and Hubert Bren-
nan, for the defendant.
During the trial the testimony of a
number of witnesses was heard and aft
er both lawyers had made their address
es to the jury the case was left to the
latter for decision. r.
After an hours deliberation the jury
rendered verdict Of guilty, whereupon
Justice Bulger passed sentence upon
Hendricks of sixty days in the county
jail at hard labor.
This was Mr.. Brennan's first case in
L'Anse since entering upon his chosen
profession, and the manner in which he
conducted his side of the case would
have done credit to one of longer ex-
perience and put forth every effort pos
sible to defend his client.

Dies Suddenly at Newberry.

L'Anse friends and acquaintance of
Hugh j. Kelly, whom it will be remem-
bered was placed in the asylum at New
berry early last spring suffering from a
severe attack of melancholia, were
greatly surprised Monday to learn that
he had died suddenly.
Mr.. Kelly's condition was so improved
that he was to have been released from
the asylum Sunday last, and it is thot
that the knowledge of his return home
was more than he could stand and con-
sequently caused heart failure.
He was about 38 years of age and is
survived by wife and several children
residing at Hancock, to whom the
news of his death was great shock.
The remains were taken to Hancock
Monday evening and the funeral held
Wednesday.
Later comes the information that up
on arrival of the body from Newberry,
a scar was discovered upon the dead
mans face, extending from the corner
of the mouth to the apex Of the chin,
which it was believed was caused by
some powerful acid either having been
spilled upon it or was the result Of q
personal attempt to administer such.
However, Mrs. Kelly was not salts
fed at the mere report of his having
fallen dead from heart failure, and has
commenced legal procedures to obtain
more accurate information.
Although nothing will be done at pres
ent in the matter, her attorney has
stated that something should and would
be done in the way of investigation.
The remains were laid at rest in the
old Catholic cemetery in Hancock after
funeral services had been held in St.
Patrick's church. The funeral was at
tended by a large number of friends and
relatives.
