PROSPECTS OF
BIG LAND DEAL .
APPEAR FADED
Proposal Made To Purchase
10000 Acres of Land
Near Baldwin

Prospects of one of the largest
land deals in many years in Bur-
leigh county appeared somewhat
faded today.
A stranger who visited in and near
Baldwin bought" a half dozen or so
farms. He was to ship in 5000 fine
cattle and he needed 10000 acres of
grazing land. The only slip in the
deal came when the time arrived for
paying for the land purchased by
verbal agreement. The money had
not been produced today and the out
come is unknown.
The stranger visited in Baldwin and
agreed to purchase many farms. He
came to Bismarck yesterday with a
number of farmers, and sought to
send draft for $125,OOO on a bank in
Cordele, Georgia, through the First
National Bank. A reply was received
by wire that he was not known in
Cordele. The man explained to States
Attorney McCurdy, Deputy Sheriff
Phelps and the farmers that he had
sold land through an agent in Georgia
and had directed the money be put in
a bank at Folkst0nc, Georgia. A re-
ply from Folkstone said he and the
real estate agent whose name he gave
were not known and no big land deal
had been recorded.
The discussion continued during
the day, and late last evening the
stranger is understood to have re.
turned to the farmer with whom he
had been staying at Baldwin.
