CRUSHED UNDER TRACTOR

Hebron, October 15.-Henry J. Kol-
Ter, a prominent young farmer of
Hebron, 26 years old, son of Martin
Roller and son-in-law of County Com
missioner Simon Nagel, met a sudden
death here on Tuesday morning
about 9 o'clock, when he was caught
under the large drive wheel of a gas
tractor.
He and his force of men were pre-
pairing to do some grading on the
N. P. right of way, and while trying
to couple a grader to the drawbar
of the engine, the. huge machine
rolled backward and caught him.
The engine was. not in gear at the
time, but was standing slightly on
the down grade and the vibration of
the running engine was enough to
start it moving. He was crushed
about the hips and died Immediately.
The engineer in charge had to move
the tractor forward so that the body
could be taken out.
Young Roller leaves a wife and a
baby five days old, besides his father
and mother and many relatives. He
will be buried in the Catholic ceme-
terry m Thursday.

One of the big features of the week
in the show line was the addition of
a fine four piece orchestra at the
Lyric theatre. Manager Willis is al
ways watchful for anything which
may add to the pleasure of his pat
rons and raise the standard of his al
ready high class show. He is now
not only securing the best in the pic
ture line, but is providing an orches-
ira whose musical numbers are very
fine, indeed. Throughout the week
the patrons have enjoyed something
out of the ordinary. Their apprecia-
ton Of this extra effort has been
shown by the large crowds that he
has been accommodating each night.
This will be without doubt one of the
big attractions at the Lyric the COM

$500 FOR
j. 5. MAIL FRAUD

s. P. Lesselyoung, manager Of the
Farmers Service. company, 3249
Fifth Avenue S., pleaded "guilty"
before Federal Judge Wilbur F.
Booth on October 9th to a charge of
using the mails to defraud, and was
fined $500. While operating the
Farmers Service company. Lessel-
young took notes from various farm
ers under an agreement to perform
certain services of buying and selling
for them. Complaint was made by
clients that they were getting no ade-
quate returns for their money, and
his arrest followed. There were
nearly half a hundred farmers ready
to appear as witnesses.-Minneapolis
Journal.
Simon Peter Lesselyoung of Mime
apolis is the smooth swindler who
talked hundreds of farmers in the
western part of North. Dakota into
giving his company their notes for
membership at $107.50 each.
On September 18th, 1911, the
PRESS exposed his game in a column
article which was widely copied and
Lesselyoung came to Dickinson very
wroth, stoutly affirming that this
paper had damaged his business in
the state to the extent of $4,000.
He demanded a r%etraction and free
advertising space to the value of
$500. When this was fatty refused
him he took the first steps in a libel
suit but he never carried out his
threat, realizing, probably, that a
concern 20 plainly fraudulent on it's
face would not be able to get any
standing in a court of justice.
Some of the farmers who gave
their membership fee notes to the
Farmers General Service Co. were
frightened into paying them, but
probably more than 80 per cent of
them after reading the PRESS ex-
pose, declined to turn over their
good money to the Flour City swind-
Ter and are that much ahead.
1t will be remembered by our read
ers that The Farmers General Serv-
ice Co. and affiliated companies (all
Lesselyoung's) were denied the use
Of the u. S. mails in August of this
year. This order was handed down
after a careful inspection by govern
ment agents of the fraudulent meth
DDS used by L~esselyoung.

FOWLER BOY
IN HOSPITAL

Walter Fowler, a little fellow about
10 or IL years old, was seriously in
jured Thursday afternoon while try
ing to steal a ride on the Oscar Farr
auto truck. Fred Sibley was driving
the car and had just left the store as
the little fellow ran out from the side
walk and it is thought that he got on
the step at the side, but lost his bal
ance. Mr.. Sibley, who vas watching
out or vehicles ahead, had not paid
much attention to the boys playing
about, but happened to look around
and saw the little fellow just as he
fell. He thought that the boy struck
his head on the step. The little fell
low was thrown to the ground with
much force before the car could be
stopped and was rendered uncon-
scious. He was taken at once to a
Doctors office. After working for
some time upon the child it was
thought best to take his to st. Jo-
seph's hospital. There are no signs
Of the auto having passed over any
part of the body. Friday morning
the boy was still in an unconscious
condition.
This should be a lesson to the
many children that play about the
street, catching on to the side or back
of autos. It is impossible for drivers
to watch them and the machine too,
and it is a wonder that a serious &C.
cident has not happened before.

NASH BROTHERS
MAY LOCATE
At DICKINSON

This week the city had among it's
visitors w. E. Deitz and F. H. De-
Camp, representatives of the Nash
Brothers string Of wholesale houses.
They were in the city looking over
the prospects of establishing a whole
sale house here. The Nash Brothers
have a large number of houses in
various parts of the northwest. They
are also very strong in Canada, hav-
ing houses in all the large cities west
of Winnipeg. In North Dakota they
have three houses in Fargo, three in
Grand Forks, two in Minot and in the
following cities, Bismarck, Valley
City, Devils Lake and Williston,
They are located in South Dakota at
Huron and WATERFOWL; in Minnesota
at Thief River Falls and Crookston;
in Washington at Spokane.
They have been up into Montana
with the object of placing a house in
Glendive, but did not consider the
territory west of Glendive good
enough to warrant the venture. A.
ter looking over the territory tribu-
tary to Dickinson they thought the
prospects were much better and so
interviewed Pres. White of the Com
mercial Club.
What they desire is to have a
building near the railroad, that is on
the right of way or or a spur, which
they can rent for a term of years.
The building should be about 20 feet
wide by 80 feet long with basement.
In Huron they rent a building which
cost $4,000, paying 7 per cent net
for it's use. The matter will un-
doubtedly be taken up with the Com
mercial Club at it's next meeting,
October 21st.

Of linen your scrap bag has fur

are the sort of presents which
will restore the old time thrills
that have been we'll nigh lost in
