Townley Sells Farmers

Schafer. ~. d.. Feb. 12.-The scha.

ticle:
1T is reported here on good au-
thority that A. c. Townley. creator Of
the Consumers United Stores COM
pany, sold recently to the First Ma
tlonal bank of killdeer,. N. D., some
by farmers for the privilege of do
ing business at the Townley stores,
for $4,000 or at a discount of go per
cent. 1t is runlored also that he made
similar deals with other banks.
cat least half of these 200 notes are
considered to be good, bankable pa
per. 1t is said these will promptly be
taken care of at maturity and will net
the bank n profit of at least $4,000.
Many of the remaining 100 notes will
be granted IN extension and will fin
ally be paid with interest; some will
be placed in JUDGMENT and collected
with added costs: and a few, it is said.
will never be collected. Considerable
speculation is rife as to whether the
makers of the latter will enjoy equal
privileges in trading at the Townley
stores with the men who are furnish
ing the promoter with the funds to
launch this gigantic trust.
Some are beginning to realize that
they have contributed to a fund which
will doubtless place Townley beyond
all dreams Of avarice and are limiting
at a desire to have their money re-
turned. The act that Townley has
filed a petition in bankruptcy has
made these men suspicious. They
argue that Townley would not go to
the trouble to divorce his debts unless
he intended to acquire wealth in his
own name. Their notes are now in
the hands OF a third party, however,
and the chances for ever getting any
of their money back are slight. The
notes were no doubt Endorsed in such
terms as to negative company liabili.

be necessary to prove that the pres,
