conneII Accused of Postal Fraud.

Sonneh ACCUSED or POSTAL Frauds.
Denver. - Investigation by local
postoffice authorities into recent al
legged fraudulent operations of Frank
Connell, Denver business man and
postmaster at Insmont, Colo, now un-
der arrest in Sydney, Neb., with R.
G. Lukens of Denver, charged with
murder and bank robbery, has re-
vealed, according to Inspector Frank
f. Sharon, that for many months Con-

brought to the attention of federal au-

juggling his accounts at the Insmont
postoffice, according to Sharon, who
has returned from Sydney, where he
interviewed Connell. Although Con-
nell is said to have swindled the gov

master at Insmont, he is said to have
made good the entire amount a few
days before a warrant for his arrest

GRAIN DEALERS MEET
COLORADO WHEAT CROP TO
REACH $4,000, 900 BUSHELS.
About 1926 Members of Recently
Formed Association Discuss
Plans at Denver Meeting.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

| Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Grain dealers who gath
cred here from all parts of the state
to attend the first annual convention
of the Denver Grain Exchange Asso-
citation brought reports of wheat
crop this year that is more than full
filling expectations.
Estimates gathered from various
delegates placed the total crop at
100000 bushels. F. G. Olson, one
of the delegates, said that the quail
lty of the crop was usually fine and
that the prices being paid the farmers
is better than it was year ago.
The grain men came together to
talk over various phases of the in
dustry, which is rapidly coming to the
front in the state, and in the devel-
opment of which the Denver Grain
Exchange has played an important
part.
Tbs exchange was organized last
year and has been regularly en-
gagged in sampling and inspecting
grain and conducting business along
the same lines as the Chicago and
Omaha Grain exchanges.
The convention was attended by
about 125 dealers. 1t would have
been much larger, one of the dele
gates explained, but for the fact that
the crop this year is much earlier
than usual on account of the favor
able season and the men are engaged
in preparations for the harvest.
"The production this year will be
about 100000 bushels of both win
ter and spring wheat" said Mr.. Oh
son. That is just about the same
amount as last year, though the acre
age is larger. The crop is of fine
quality, though the yield per acre has
shown slight decrease The farm
ers are getting from 90 cents to 81
per bushel this year as compared
with 92 and 95 cents last year, so that
in estimating the entire production it
is of much greater value to the state
than last years crop"
