UNKNOWN PERSON HAD
PLACED MORTGAGE ON
ANOTHER MANS FARM
Thomas Whittledge, of Haakon
County, Seeks to Annul]
Illegal Claim.

Midland, S., D., Jan. 15.-When
inornas Whittlege arrived in Haakon
county, Yesterday, after a sojourn in
Canad and discovered that. during his
absence, some unknown person had
paced a mortgage on his homestead,
AFTER making a fraudulent transfer Of
the Iarm to the swindler. he uncovered
what may prove to nave been a whole
sale swindling game on the part OF
some shrewd crook.
Whlttlege has commenced an action
IN the state circuit court for the re-
coVery OF his farm. In order to accom-
pilsh this, it will be necessary to have
the transfer set aside and
the mortgage, placed upon it by the
declared invalid. In this
event, the person who loaned the swim
dler money n look the mortgage for
security will have nothing to show for
the investment. Whittlege believes the
roommate, who broke into his trunk
and a~bsconded with his papers, anG
then took advantage of his absence in
the British northwest to work his swim
ding game.
Ihere also is a possibility that the
sWihdllng game may have been worked
pV expert crooks, who confined their
operations to the farms of homestead
ers who temporarily were out of the
county, there being a number of own
ers OF homesteads in the county who
at present are temporarily residing
eWhere When these return to look
after their Haakon county farms they
may discover that some of their farms
also were transferred and mortgaged
during their absence.
