FOUND THAT LESSELYOUNG
WAS A REGULAR FRAUD

O. S. Lesselyoung, who was con-
nected with the Farmers General
Service company which operated
throughout Stark and Dunn counties
few years ago, has been found guilty
OF obtaining money under false pre-
tense at Williston. The following
story of the arrest and trial of Lessel-
young is taken from the Williston

"Williston Graphic: Another get.
rich quick scheme came to grief this
week when O. S. Lesselyoung, sales
man who worked here two years ago,
was found guilty of false pretense in
the district court at Crosby, where
the case was venued from Williams
county.
"Lesselyoung was arrested at Wild
rose in September, 1915, on a charge
of Misrepresentation and obtaining
money and notes under false pre-
lenses. Mr.. Lesselyoung was then
representing the Consumers Service
and Supply Co. of Minneapolis, which
claimed to save money for the farm
ers by bringing them into contact
with the wholesalers and factories,
eliminating middlemen. Many farm
ers in the Wildrose vicinity gave
money and notes in the amount Of
$3.50 each to Mr.. Lesselyoung for his
company's service. Among them were
H. M. Arneson, Martin Gulson and
Martin S. Anderson, who, after in
vestigating the company, found
things not as represented and made
the complaint.
"After two postponements and a
change of venue the case was tried at
Crosby before Judge Leighton on
June 18th and 18th, the jury finding a
verdict of guilty." ....
