dozen aliases. has been sentenced to the
Leavenworth. Kas., federal prison for
a term of five years, and that his arrest
was brought about partly through the

apples at extraordinarily low prices.
The apples failed to come although
many paid their money as asked by
Wright, who was operating here under
the name of the. Northwestern Growers
association.

wrote q letter of inquiry in regard to
Wright and the Northwestern Growers
association and December nth of the

being charged by the federal govern
ment with fraudulent use of the mails.
The cases were brought up in the United

following ALIASES. B. Sutton. E. r.
Marley, C. W. Williams, C. B. Moore
and the Northwestern Growers associ'
alton, was found guilty and drew
