YOUNG LADY
IS STRANDED.
Minot Young Woman is Left
Almost Penniless at Sawyer
by Travelling Man

Minot, N. d., May Miss
Mollie Benell, beautiful brown
eyed innocent working girl, was
left almost penniless at Sawyer,
N. D., early Sunday morning by
a salesman for a Minneapolis
concern, because she would not
allow him to register for the
couple at the hotel as man and
wife.
Driven to desperation because
he could not treat the poor girl in
a shameless manner, and bring
her to shame and ruin, he in
formed her that she could not
ride back to Minot with him,
but instead he would give her
money enough to pay her way
back on the train.
II did not know the man very
well," said Miss Benell to a
newspaper reporter, land when
about four o'clock Sunday morn
ing he asked me to jump in his
auto and drive around the block,
I did so. instead he took me out
into the country and kept me
nearly all night, trying to get me
to accede to his wishes. He f.
nally drove up to the Sawyer
hotel and wanted me to allow
him to register for us as man and
wife. This refused to do, and
he became angered and left me
to get back the best ! could. He
said he would give me money for
my car fare, but he did not do
so. I had enough money, but
did not know it. The Justice of
the Peace at Sawyer offered to
pay my way back to Minot, but
instead, I was taken in an auto
to the home of my brother, Irwin
Benell, who lives two miles east
of Surrey.
IF he can be located, he will
be arrested and brot to Minot,
and made to suffer for the insult.
I will have no mercy on him"
If Miss Benefits big brother
could but lay hands on the fresh
salesman for a few minutes, he
would settle the insult in short
order. Minot people are incensed
over the affair and it will not be
we'll for the fellow to show up
here in the very near future.
Miss Benell states that he check
ed out of the hotel for Crookston.

an assayer.- Scrapings were
taken from the discs, inclosed in
an eveloped, and analyzed at a
jewelers.. They were pronounced
to be pure gold, but young Chaf-
fees belief is that the envelope
was switched, one of true gold
being substituted for one of
brass. The money, $25,000 in
cash was paid over. The four
had luncheon together, and then
the sWindlers cleverly gave the
Cbaffees the slip. When this
was discovered, a hastily exam
ination of the disc was made by
the younger Chaffee, and their
worthless character became soon
apparent. A quick search was
made at the Beaufort hotel, but
the birds had flown. Chaffee,
Sr., offered a reward of $4,000
for the arrest and conviction of
both men, or 81, ZOO for either of
them. In the offer Of the re-
ward they were described as fol-
lows.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 4
James Caddegan, charged with
being one of the two men who
sold H. F. Chaffee of Armenia,
N. D., a ''gold brick' for $685.
600, in Minneapolis, Oct. 13, 1909,
was arrested by the Los Angeles
Spolice early today on advices
from Chief of Police Mealey. He
is being held for further advices,
and a Minneapolis detective will
be sent for him. E. w. Chaffee,
son of the Armenia man, has pos
positively identified Caddegan as
the "John Armstrong, "alias John
Moor, who sold his father two
worthless brass discs at the Beau
fort hotel. The arrest came in
consequence of another charge
against the prisoner. He was
arrested in Los Angeles March
3Oth charged with attempting to
swindle Mrs. Ida H. Kendall of
Toledo. Ohio. of $l2, 600 in a gold
brick scheme. He was released
on bail, and the Los Angeles
police sent information broad cast
over the country: One such cir
cular came, to Chief Mealey. who
suspected Caddegan's identity
with Armstrong. A notice to H.
F. Chaffee Immediately followed.
His son F. w. Chaffee. hurried
to Los Angeles. Caddegan was
apprehended again, and young
Chaffee declared unrequivocally
that he was the same man. The
Les Angeles police say the gold
brick swindle was remarkably
clever piece of criminality. g
CAREFUL PLANS. "
Armstrong and a confederate,
W. II. Harper, posing as an as
sayer, planned the trick with
minute attention to detail.
Armstrong first appeared at
Chaffee's home in Armenia, re-
presenting himself as gold
miner with property in Alaska.
He said he was in search of his
uncle, but the uncle's name had
only one final ''e. !" Using this
means to introduce himself to
the family Of the millionaire
Landowner and his family, he
turned the conversation to two
solid gold brick which he claimed
to have in his possession. but
with not the slightest apparent
intention to sell til e m. The
Chaffees, father and son.. became
interested.
NEEDED MONEY.
They learned from Armstrong
that he was in need Of money,
and besought him him to- sell
them the gold, which he repre-
sented to be worth $4,000.
But was loath to sell, apparent
". Finally he consented to
. open negotiations but proposed
that all the parties take a trip to-
Minneapolis, where the discs
could be assayed, and their
value indisputably ascertained.

Homesteads.
Under Section 3 Of the en-
larged homestead act, as con-
strued by instructions of June %,
1911 Gao l.. ID. 143), one who
makes homestead entry for less
than 800 acres may enter other
contiguous lands, subject to the
provisions Of that act, which
shall not. together with the
original entry, exceed 800 acres.
The initial entry of public land
under the homestead laws Is
merely a declaration of intention
TO acquire title to the land by
performing the conditions re-
CURED under the laws. BY such
entry a settler Is protected
against intrusion by other set
tiers but as against the Govern
ment his right is only conditional
and inchoate. Citing Whitney
Va. Taylor (158 u. s. So, 95),
Frisbie vs.. Whitney % Wall. /;

To acquire any right against
the Government by such filing
or entry 1t is incumbent upon a
claimant to establish by sufficient
proof. to the satisfaction of the
Land Department, according to
the prescribed rules. that he has
fulfilled the conditions required
by the homestead laws and is
entitled to patent to the land.
Until such proof has been sub
mitted and final certificate issued
no right vests in claimant.

great love for humanity. but
without any desire for public dis

Possessing a keen sense of

he was always welcomed in
