L 5. Correspondent.

Look out for the CRATER The
Rocks County Record says: A
smooth one-armed fruit tree fakir
a few weeks ago worked quite a
number of Rocks county farmers
on proposition that looked
mighty good to them and was so
novel and anheard of that they
easily bit He represented that
he was A Brown, nurseyman, of
Ottawa, Kansas, and that he was
in the business of establishing
orchards and caring for them for
them for a period of three years.
He said he would put in Rocks
county only s or ten orchards, of
from 1 3-4 to 3 acres each, and
would supply a complete outfit of
trees and fruits and would plant
and cultivate the orchard for
three years, replacing all dead
trees. all for the sum of $50, one
half of which was to be paid up
on the arrival of the trees and
other half at the end of three
years. or would take one-half of
the crop (which crop not Stated)
in lieu of the remaining SIS.
Brown succeeded admirably, for
he took IA orders of this kind.
His trick was to tear off the du
plicate order of mutual agree
ment short, leaving in his own
hands that portion of the contract
which bound him to plant and
cultivate the proposed orchard
In each case he would say that he
had accidentally torn it off in the
wrong place, but that it didn I
matter, as the contract was bind
ing anyway One of the farmers
smelled mouse after his order
had been given, and consulted
Ham & Gold in regard to the
matter who upon inquiry found
that there was no A Brown,
nurseryman, at Ottowa, but
that he was buying his trees Oh
Willis and the Standard nurser
les. An effort was made tt
countermand the orders, but
Brown refused to accept any re
gistered letter sent him. The
trees came last Wednesday, the
10th and Brown came with them
