GETS THOUSANDS BY FRAUD
Man Has Secured More Than $4,000
in Ten Years as Result of Fraudu-
lent Land Deals Reward for His
Arrest and Conviction.

John III. Hoover, one of the most
noted crooks in the country is thought
to be working in this neighborhood and
this morning police officers and the reg
lister of deeds received letters asking
that they make an effort to arrest the
man. Hoover is also known as John
Ell. Kline, John H. Butler, HI. G. Fisher,
FL. G. Snyder and under half a dozen
names and in the past eight years he
has made thousands of dollars by
crooked land deals in different parts
of the United States. The man is
alleged to have recently left Nebras
ka and it is claimed that he is now
in the neighborhood of Kenosha. A
reward of 5000 has been offered
for his arrest and conviction.
Hoover usually wears dark clothes
and while he has never been farmer
he has the appearance of a typical
farmer. He has served term in the
state prison in Missouri as swindler
and since that time he has been most
active in playing his game and has
been remarkably successful in avoiding
arrest.
His method of working is unique.
He enters rural settlement and de-
clares that he is DESTROYS of purchas-
ing farm. He represents himself
as Catholic and declares that the
fact that the members of his family
are believers in this creed makes it
necessary for him to secure land near
a Catholic church. After the plans
for the purchase of the farm are made
the man produces a deed for farm
in Iowa and on the strength of this
deed he manages to get loan giving
a mortgage on the farm in Iowa as
surety for the loan. He has been
able to negotiate this sort Of a loan
no less than ten times in the past two
years and the amount secured by him
on the various loans has been in excess
of $500.
Hoover is clever in that he has no
associates or confederates and he al
ways attends to all details Of the
swindling games in person thus max
ing it an easier matter for him to get
away with the money.
Hoover was in this county some three
year ago, but at that time he was so
closely pursued by the officers on ac-
count of swindle worked at Portage
that he was unable to work his scheme
Every deputy sheriff in the county is
being ordered to keep close watch for
any one resembling Hoover and for
the next few weeks men seeking to
purchase farms in Kenosha county
will be cloesly watched. Pictures of
Hoover have been put up at the jail
and at the Office of the register of
deeds.

boxer, signalized his return to the ring
at Troy, New York, last night by win
ming "a decisive victory over Young
Ramsey Forbes knocked out Ramsey
in the second round of what was to
have been a ten round 60 and he did
it with such ease that it is evident
that he has not lost any of his old
time cleverness. Forbes had been in
training for the past three weeks and
his condition in the ring was a revela-
ton TO the fight fans. It had been ex-
pected that he would get the decision
over Ramsey but the fast fight which
he put up came as a surprise. Ramsey
never had chance and he was beaten
from the first clash between the two
men, Forbes will remain in the east
and it is said that he will have a lot
of fights arranged for him in the
next few months.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY IA
Is the Date of "The Time, the Place
and the Girl

One of the largest musical organiza-
tions on the road today is "The Time,
the Place, and the Girl" which will be
the real event at the Rhode Opera
House on Monday, February IA. This
is exactly the same cast and production
that has made such popular reputa-
tion in the largest cities, especially in
Chicago where the company played for
465 nights thus breaking all records
in the windy city, The company this
season numbers sixty people of musical
reputation and is headed by that well
known comedian, Robert G.. Pitkin and
Elizabeth Goodall. They are ably as
sisted by an excellent cast and the
handsome smart chorus including the
FPrancing Bantams, one of the most
noted group of dancers on the Ameri-
can stage. The company travels in
a special train and transports the Ella
borate production in two special bag
gage cars. The scenes of the play are
laid in the mountains of Virginia which
naturally calls for an abundance of
picturesque scenery, thus the two large
baggage cars are full. There will no
doubt be a great number of country
people attend this performance for al
ready many requests have come in from
out of town patrons who are anxious to
see the show that started all Chicago
singing and whistling the ten big song
hits Of the play. DIV

Officials of U. S. Army Max
ing an Effort to Find John
Lane, a KenoSha Boy
DESERTED NEARLY A YEAR AGO

Officials in Kenosha have received a
communication from the United States
army officers asking them to make an
effort to cause the arrest of John R..
Lane, "a years old said to be former
Kenosha man who is wanted on a
charge of DESERVING from the United
States army. Lane enlisted in Chica-
go in November 1908 and at the-time
he gave an emergency address in care
of his brother Fred Lane who was al
legged to live at 4o2 First street, Ke-
nosha. Lane was a private and a
member of the Hospital Corps At
the time of his desertion he was at
the preside at San Francisco. He left
this place on February 18th Of last
year and since that time search has
been made for him in all parts of the
United States. A reward Of $50 is
now offered for the capture of the
soldier and his delivery to any army
fort in the United States. The local
officers have not been able to locate
any of the relatives of Lane and the
number which he gave as the address
of his brother is fictitious one. The
name Of neither John R. Lane or Fred
Lane appears in the city directory and
the police have been unable to find
any trace of any relatives. Tt is
thought possible that the deserter may
have given the Kenosha address for
the sole purpose of misleading the army
officials and that he had planned on
desertion at the time he enlisted in
the army.

SUGGESTION OF 4
 REPUBLICAN READER
The Possible Usefulness of an Official
 Expert Farmer in This Valley.

' A suggestion is made to The Repub- , lican by d subscriber and is passed along for whatever it may be con sidered worth to the farmers of the valley and to the management of the 1 water users association. The sugges- ' tion is that the water users associa- | ton would make a fine investment by requesting the agricultural department ' to furnish an expert farmer to be at i tached to the reclamation force on this i project, his duty to be solely looking after the interest of the farmers and ! furnishing them full and free advice on any and every subject and with which he was familiar, on application.
 The author of the suggestion believes there would be no difficulty in secur- ] ing such man if he was wanted his salary of course to be borne by the water users association, indirectly by having it charged to the project if i that is feasible, and if not to be paid
 direct.
 The argument submitted in support of the idea is that there are many new { settlers in the valley now who have had little or no experience in an irri- gated country; some perhaps who have had no farming experience anywhere. ! They need if not a teacher at least some dependable authority to whom
 they can apply for information when
 ever they need it and without expense.
 Under present conditions their oHiS
 way is to ask their neighbors this, that and the other and receive varied
 answers many no doubt good and some
 bad. Always they are apt to follow
 the advice of the wrong man, or ask
 the right man when he is too busy to
 give them proper attention and they
 receive only a poor idea of what they
 want to know.
 If such an official were appointed he
 should be man who has had experi
 ence as well as a thorough book knowl-
 edge of agriculture, in every way q careful and competent adviser, and it should be his first duty to give in- formation asked for, if necessary go- ing into the field and demonstrating what he means. This information would include methods of irrigation, when and how to irrigate, when and how to plant care for and harvest vari- ous crops grown in the valley, when, where and how to procure seed and how to test it before planting a large acreage; what crops should be grown on a particular soil. how they should be rotated and all the thousand things the novice in agriculture needs to know.

And there are a lot of people who have done more or less farming with but partial success who if they applied to him could doubtless receive infor- nation that would add many dollars to their annual profits. Moreover, the conditions here have been changing more or less for years and will con- tinue to change and the farmers will have to keep up with them. New pro cesses are being employed and new crops experimented with Sucn an of ficial should study the Salt river Yu- ma and Sacaton sections continually. compare needs and keep his people in formed on the best obtainable at all times
 It is quite likely there are farmers in the valley who know as much or more about the crops they raise now as the expert would but they would not have to bother him, and again it is possible he could tell them where they could make more money by changing their crops. In any event it would be mere ly the expense of an expert farmer for the whole valley and the theory of the suggestion is that if only one farmer in d dozen was directly benefited 1t would add much to the general pros perity of the valley where so many inexperienced people are going into az riculture. And if a hundred inexperi- enced valley farmers can be made to show profits instead of losses in their early efforts io would add much to the wealth of the valley and much to the strength of the water users associa- ton, the success of which will depend entirely on the prosperity of its indi- vidual members.
 Another phase of the question is that such an expert attached to the reclamation service would doubtless be a great aid in water administrations; that is his advice would certainly be sought by the water officials in the event of proposed changes in irriga- tion methods or plans and would carry weight in view of the fact that he could speak as one representing the farmers end of it and knowing their needs. There is no intimation but that the water officials will in any event do the very best they can for the farm CT, but that end of the irrigation pro ject is to some extent experimental just as the farmers end of it is and will undoubtedly be subject to chang ing conditions as the years go by.
