FOUND THAT
LESSELY0UNG
WAS A FRAUD
SALESMAN CLAIMS THAT CON-
PANY WAS TO BLAME AND
HE WAS INNOCENT
FA X Nj ERS WERE STUNG
WILLIAMS COUNTY ATTORNEY
WINS IN CASE AT CROSBY
NO SENTENCE YET
FAR MERS WERE STUNG

Another get-rich quick scheme
came to grief this week when 0. S.
Lesselyoung a salesman 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 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
er by bringing into contact with the
wholesalers and factories, elimin-
ating middlemen. Many farmers 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 II. NJ.
Arneson, Martin Gulson and Martin
S. Anderson, who after investigating
the company found things not as rep
resented 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 14th, the jury finding
verdict of guilty. States Attorney
Vim. G. Owens of Williams county
conducted the prosecution and John
Burke of Minot appeared for the de-
fense.
Needless to- say peddlers, solicitors
and various transient grafters are
receiving an icy reception from farm
ers in Williams county, and since
the Lesselyoung affair quite num-
Der of these fakirs have been uncere-
moniously and rudely booted from
the farms of their prospective victims.

PLANTING 1000
CABBAGE PLANTS

An experiment in intensive farm
ing that will be watched closely is
being made on the Hedderich ranch
north of town this season where 1000
cabbage plants have been put out
this week.
Every possible effort has been
made to make conditions as favorable
as possible for the raising of cab
bages and it is hoped that the attempt
will lead to big things in this line of
farming. If the field does we'll the
crop will bring high price this year
tho a cabbage crop on large scale
would bring good prices in any aver
age year.

county and townships. The board of
commissioners have been working on
this matter this week and it has been
found necessary to make new plans
for some of the work in order to get
the biggest results from the amounts
expended.
Federal Men Here
T. ]. Lough, of the state engineers
office, and E. O. Hathaway of St..
Paul, federal district highway engin-
eer, have been in Williams county
this week with J. C. Field, county
surveyor, inspecting sixteen miles of
the Wonderland trail upon which fed
eral aid is asked. The state highway
commission has approved the project,
and if the federal engineer is salts
fed, favorable recommendation will
be made to the federal Office of pub
lie roads. ..,-v.
Williams county has appropriated
$4,000 for the improvement of the
Wonderland trail, and $4,000 for the
Black trail. All of the federal aid ask
ed for the first year will be expended
on the farmer highway. Benson coun-
ty asks $4,000 federal aid for the i'm
provement of the Wonderland trail.

D0NNYBROOK WAS
POOR WORKOUT
MICH TOUTED TEAM FROM 500
TRIMMED. FOUR TINES IN
SUCCESSION HERE

Williston tucked away four more
ball games the latter part of last
week when Donnybrook came here
and lost one game after the other un-
til Sunday when it lost the last game
so badly that good fans were glad
they were going home.
The games last week demonstrated
that Williston has a good team of
ball players and as far as hitting is
concerned there has been no aggre-
cation in this section showing the
frequency and timeliness of clouts
that Williston players have demon
strated.
Browning, Lyle and Marshall each
pitched a game against the visitors
and Browning went back and took
Sundays for good measure. The score
that day was 10 to 4.
The Williston team is at Donny-
brook for three games this week and
next Tuesday the Minot league team
shows here for four games. This is
expected to be classy ball and altho
there are some of the home fans who
predict the home team will get a
heating there are others who believe
that the boys will be there as they
have been so far.

of the parade was the big American
flag which was carried by dozen
men. The program consisted Of the
Flag ritual by the lodge and other
appropriate numbers.
Following the meeting at the Arm
ory a baseball game was staged be-
tween Williston and Donnybrook and
at night Patriotic hop was given
at the Armory from which the pro-
ceeds were given to the Red Cross.
The Williston Elks are to be con-
graduated on their spirit in taking
hold Of the day and using it to fur
ther patriotism in this crisis.

Williston township farmers and
the Commercial club of this city will
stage the annual Good Roads Day
Friday, June 20. Arrangements were
completed this week and indications
are that the day this year will be big
ger than last year when over two
miles of road was put in good shape
by boosters from this city and the
enterprising farmers who worked
with them. The work this year will
be done on the same road, the stretch
between the two pieces built last year
to be cared for first and after that as
much more as can be handled. The
road will be graded up and prepared
for gravel.
Good Results Secured
Work of this sort has been found
to give the greatest results for the
effort put forth of any stunt that has
been put on. The two organizations
that are behind this Good Roads Day
have pledged themselves to boost the
move and it is expected that bis re-
suits will be secured.
Road work is going ahead in good
shape over the county and it is an
ticipated that 100000 or more will

Perhaps the desert, that vast stretch
of Afric sands known as Sahara, may
be likened unto our own far west in

drawn-some in the spirit of adven-

from secret Of the past. In both
places, people were gathered from

strange and unaccustomed romances.
In The Garden of Allah, the stu
pendous photo play from Robert
Hichens' novel, Domini, the woman,
goes to the desert for peace from a
narrowing world; while Boris, the man
of mystery, searches it out for OBJ
livion--a living forgetfulness from
himself.
1t was not strange, then, that this
pair would meet-there on the shift

has been so richly produced.
