SOUGHT BLUE SKY"
Eagle Grove Residents Bring Suit to
Have Notes Cancelled.

Eagle Grove. Dec. 20.-Charles Sid
well. Albert Banks and twenty other
residents OF Eagle Grove purchased
some 'blue sky" last summer and now
seek the aid of the district court to
have their notes Cancelled and contracts
rescinded. That twenty fell for the
snap" would indicate that the stranger
was an uncommonly smooth talker. He
arrived in Eagle Grove last June, and
as the several victims allege. repre-
sented that he was selling government
lands in koochiching county. in north
ern Minnesota. at 81 per acre. This
price was to include all ditch assess
ments and unpaid taxes. All the in
tending purchaser had to do was to give
the stranger 500 in cash and his note
for the balance, due in May. 1917. The
notes were made payable at that time
for the reason that there was to be n
sale OF state lands in May. and he. the
stranger, agreed to be on hand and Sc
cure tile particular quarter section he
the victim, had picked out from the
map. To make a long story short 1t
now develops that these lands are to be
sold to the highest bidder for cash by
the state at public auction, that the
aforesaid agent has gone to Texas or
some other warmer climate and that in
all probability the notes will turn up in
due season in the hands of the third
party.

sanborn Again Stirred BY Work Of
Arson Squad.

Sanborn, DEG. 20.--The series of
fires which so stirred the people Of SAN
born during the past summer seem to
be breaking out again. Three attempts
to burn pronerty have been discovered
during the HAST week and though none
get beyond the stage OF starting, it in
dicates that the lesson which was given
by the judge last fall is losing its eff
fectiveness. While there is no evid zee
to connect those who at the time were
suspected of being guilty. the fact that
the fires are in the same neighborhood
would indicate that the attempts made
recently have a common origin. The
person or persons responsible have so
far escaped detection or even "a strong
suspicion SC fer as is known by the
general public. But this will not al
ways be the case and if anyone is
caught there is sure to be taken out on
the unfortunate one full vengeance for
all the nuisance which has occurred. &
