Farmers Lose When They Exchange
Farms for Montana Acres.
As the, result of a wrangle among
the members of land firm, testimony
in Circuit Court in La Crosse showed
that fabulous sums were earned by
the firm in disposing of alkali lands in
Montana for cash or for the fertile and
productive Wisconsin farms The ac-
ton was brought to secure an account
ing and final settlement between Dr.
o. R. Olsen of ST. Paul and T. L.
Kelley of Bozeman, Mont, who oper
ated a land Office in ST. Paul with sub
agents scattered throughout the North
west and who between December /,
1908, and April 80, 1909, earned in
commissions and profits $51,4c0 Testi-
mony showed that Hans Ejtlter of
Vernon County lost $1,000 by ex-
changing his farm for Mont,lna prop
erty which he expected to farm. 1t
was shown that the lands were unfit
for farming but the inference was
made that it was not sold for that
purpose Olsen claims that for the
profits made in this deal Kelley made
no equitable division and no account
ing of the sums, hence the suit, which
was tried before Judge Higbee.
