Former Wiliston0 ciial
Gets in Trouble Again

Williston, Sept. 16.-Charged with
defrauding North Dakota real estate
dealers and loan men out Of thousands
of dollars, William T. Poe, formerly
city auditor of Williston, who has serv.
ed three years of 10-year sentence in
the North Dakota penitentiary for EN-.
bezzlement, is again under arrest at
Malta, Mont.
Poe is being held by the Montana
authorities under $4,000 bonds and is
said to have confessed to securing
more than $1,000 from real estate
dealers in Williston alone. 1t is as
serted here that he secured two or
three times this sum here and has al
so been able to defraud land men in
other cities in the state of large
amounts. E. C. Oornsy & Co. admit
the loss of $3.50, while H. v. Smith ad-
mits the loss of $3.50.
Poe's scheme was an exceptionally
clever one. Using the name Of J. c..
Cross and representing himself as a
real estate dealer, he communicated
with real estate men relative to So
curing loans on Williams county
farms. The farms selected were all
unencumbered and owned by men who
are not residents of the county. Pre-
tending to be acting for the real own
ers of the land, Poe forged the ne
cessary papers, including the sigma
lures of witnesses and notary seal,
and through this method secured
sums of money ranging, from $500 to
$500. He was discovered by the mere
est chance when the owner of one of
the farms upon which he attempted
to secure a loan returned from Mis-
souri, and declared the papers forged.
After being traced through a half
dozen Montana cities, Poe attempted
to escape by driving to Canada in his
automobile, but was overtaken and
arrested.

Better farming
Case Taken To
SuprellleCourt

Minot, Sept. 15.-The county COM
missioners, just before their adjourn
ment late last evening passed reso-
luton instructing States Attorney
Nestos, who is ex-officio attorney for
the board, to appeal the case common
ly known as the better farming case,
in which mandamus proceeding
was instituted against the board to re-
quire it to levy for the support of the
better farming movement, to the SUI
preme court.
Judge Leighton of the district court
rendered a decision in the case a few
days ago holding that the law was
mandatory on the commissioners af-
ter one petition had been presented
to the board signed by the requisite
number of citizens. This decision re-
quired the board to make the levy as
provided in the statute. The boards
decision to appeal the case will take
it to the supreme court where the de-
cision will become binding on the
lower courts and so far as the courts
of the state are concerned, determine
the law.
Commissioner Vandenoever was the
only member who voted against TAX
ing the appeal. The chairman did not
vote. One member who voted in favor
of making the levy when the question
was originally before the commissions
ers, voted for the appeal, explaining
that he desired to stand by the court
when any matter concerned it as a
body.
