A Matrimonial SwindIe.

The experience of M. G.. Foster, a
resident of the Hawarden country,
appears to have been similar to that
of others who have taken chances on
matrimonial advertisements. Mr..
Foster and Louis H. Smith, another
victim, were witnesses before a fed
eral grand jury in Brooklyn, N. Y,
which returned indictments against
Mrs. Jennie Foster, a p~repossessing
ter, for swindling through the mails.
The two ONE are alleged to have
collected about $4,000 from a number
of men under promise of marriage.
According to the story that comes
from Brooklyn, the Montana man
owns a ranch of 800 acres near Ha-
warden and is a widower, his wife
having died several years age. Feel.
ing lonely. Foster caused an adver-
tisement for a wife to be placed in
newspapers. Mrs. Foster of Jamaica,
although of the same name but no
relation, answered the advertisement.
Foster was impressed with a photo
VI tAO WOu1du duU 0OuI lcI POO
for fare to Fort Benton, the nearest
station to his ranch. He further says
that he drove 60 miles to meet her,
but she failed to show up.
Foster informed government agents
and the matter was turned over to
Assistant United States District At
torney L. R. Bick of Brooklyn. The
latter made an investigation, to find
that Mrs. Foster and her daughter
had collected nearly $4,000 from a
number of would-be husbands in all
parts of the country, to whom they
had sent photos like those they mailed
to the Montana rancher.
Foster and Smith, who had been
used in a similar way, were sent for.
The Montana man travelled more than
1888 miles, and it was his testimony
and that of Smith that induced the
federal grand jury to return true
bills against the two women. They
will be tried next month.

Shipping Big Grain Crop

One of the best indexes of the re-

developing her resources, is shown by
the fact that whereas there were only
twelve grain elevators in Montana
four years ago, now there are ESQ

this year or are in course Of con-
