GRAIN BUYER SHOT
BY HIDDEN SET-G GUN

Great Falls, Sept. "a set gun,
intended to guard pile of wheat
on the ]. e. Warehime farm near
here, was exploded by Fred Weis-
gerfer, Salina, Kan, grain buyer,
who received most of the charge
of shot in the right sde of his
body, Warehime, who admitted
placing the gun, is charged with
first degree assault.
Physicians said that unless
intetnal complications develop,
Weisgerfer will recover.
The grain buyer explained that
he saw the large pile of wheat
as he was driving past the Ware
hime farm II miles from Great
Falls on the Belt road He said
he stopped to examine it, and as
he approached, the gun exploded.
Partly stunned he crawled
through the fence and attempted
to reach his automobile.
While reeling about the road in
great pain, Weisferger was found
by G. P. Leuck of Butte and ]. ].
Phoenix of Great Falls, represen-
tatves of the Texas Oil company,
and was brought to the Columbus
hospital. DR.. H. j. McGregor and
DR.. F. B. Silvernale, who examined
him, said the shots were scattered
over the wounded mans body
from his chin to the groin on the
right side, most of the pellets be-
ing in the right arm.
The shotgun, 12-gauge, accord
ing to Warehime, was placed ad-
jacent to the wheat pile as a pro-
lection to the grain and was set
10 days ago. The gun had a
string attached to the trigger and
to the fence, after being guyed to
a wooden stick. This string was
about eight inches above the
ground.
Warehime had covered the gun
with canvas and a board, he stat
ed. Thirty or 40 bushels of wheat |
had been stolen before the gun
was placed, the farmer said.
In order to protect the public,
declares that he pre-
pared and placed sign, reading
Danger Out" He also as
serted that he attempted to place
the gun so that when discharged /
he shot would strike a person in
he line of fire in the legs.

NYE CHARGES
WHEAT GOUCE
ACCUSES TERMINALS WITH
ATTEMPTING TO FORCE
CROP DUMPING

Washington Senator Nye, Re-
publican, North Dakota, today
accused Duluth, Minneapolis and
Chicago grain operatives of at
tempting to force the wheat grow
ers to dump their commodity upon
the market by keeping storage
facilities loaded to the maximum.
He asked an investigation by the
federal farm board.
The senator said an inquiry of
his own had indicated that the
elevators of the northwest were
filled to capacity and that the
farmer had no alternative but to
sell his product at whatever the
current price might be rather than
hold it for more favorable terms.
He asserted that he believed the
elevators had been filled through
a deliberate program of the Du-
luth and Chicago boards of trade
and the Minneapolis chamber of
commerce.
Will Demand Investigation
Prepared to go before President
Hoover with his complaint, if
necessary, after he has presented
it to the farm board, Senator Nye
declared that if immediate action
is not forthcoming he will present
a resolution calling for a senate
investigation of this general ter
minal tieup."
''The wheat farmers are being
encouraged" the senator said, "by
the farm board and the depart
ment of agriculture to withhold
selling their wheat. But the
farmers are being forced to sell
outright for want of credit and
storage facilities although every
thing indicates splendid prices of
wheat later
"The farmer is being compelled
to sell through what l believe is
deliberate program engineered by
the grain trade, including the Du-
luth and Chicago boards of trade
and the Minneapolis chamber of |
commerce"
Deprived of Storage
Nye went on to describe his |
own inquiry, which he said had
disclosed that winter wheat from
the southwest had been brought
into the northwestern elevators
by the grain operatives, with the
result that the northwestern pro-
ducers of spring wheat were being
deprived of storage facilities
which would have meant much in
this short crop year"
"This strikes me as being de-
liberate scheme to deprive the
spring wheat growers of that price
which is in evidence for this
years crop" Nye continued "The
local elevators in the field are
probably not at all responsible
for this program, but the wheat
trade operating in Duluth, Mime
apolis and Chicago have the pow
er to manipulate these terminal
facilities at will.

WILLIAMS MAN
LOSES BIG ROLL
CLEVER SWINDLERS REAP
$4,000 IN STOCK MAR
kET GAME
(Havre Daily News

B. T. Beelaert, farmer resid-
ing at Williams, Mont, dropped
$4,000 in one of the smoothest
swindles pulled in Havre in many
long day, and discovered the
sell" when he attempted to cash
so-called customers draft" at
the Montana National Bank on
Monday morning.
The story told by Mr.. Beelaert is
that on September he met George
Robinson while the two men were
held up at a street crossing, where
they struck up conversation,
Robinson Incidentally told Mr.
Beelaert that he was from some
Pennsylvania town where he own
ed a drug store That he was in
Montana to buy land for brother
who was addicted to the use of
liquor. Mr.. Robinson said he
wished to locate the brother and
his family out in Montana, to see
if the man could not be weaned
away from his habits
Beelaert told him that his own
farm was for sale, and the upshot
of the matter was that the two got
into Beelaert's car and drove to
his home, where Robinson stayed
over night On Wednesday, Sept
4, Robinson told Beelaert that he
understood there was considerable
land for sale near Galata and hir-
ed Beelaert at $15 a day to drive
him around and see farms. SO
they went to Galata on Sept 4,
winding up at Havre that night.
The two men went TO supper at
local cafe, and on sitting down
Robinson picked up purse under
the table, remarking, Hello, some
one has left a bill fold here" It
was found to contain $40 in cur
rency, some change and so-called
stocks and bonds worth around
S150,000. The name of Franklin
B. Carter was found in the purse,
and he was later located at a local
hotel, where he offered Beelaert
the $40 for returning the purse.
Beelaret refused but Robinson
was finally persuaded to take the
money, which he said he would
put in the stock market.
The third man then appeared on
the scene. H. NJ. Bockus, coming |
in with many kilograms about the /
condition of the stock market that
day He told the three other men
that he had just come from the
board (somewhere) and III at
stocks had just jumped away up.
Robinson and Beelaert seemed in
terested and Robinson finally
bought $4,000 worth of stock,
also deciding to put in
$4,000 This was on Thursday,
Sept. 5.
Then Saturday afternoon, right
after the bank closed Bockus ap-
Deared with more kilograms about
stock market conditions. The two
men, Robinson and Beeleart were
hen informed that thtir stock had
'isen from an $4,000 investment
o value of $25,1 in the two
lays. They decided to cash in,

FAIR FORECAST INDICATES
GOOD EXHIBITS, ALL DEPT'S
SHOWING OF LIVESTOCK WILL
BE BEST EVER COLLECT
ED IN COUNTY

The livestock display at the
Roosevelt County Fair, September
1928, at Culbertson promises to
be the best exhibition of purebred
and high grade animals ever as
sembled in Roosevelt county.
Breeders of dairy cattle, beef cat
tie and hogs are reserving space
in the new barn and are grooming
their animals for the coming
event. H. P. Lowe, superinten-
dent of the livestock division re-
ports there will be at least two
breeds of dairy cattle. three breeds
of beef cattle and two breeds of
hogs represented in the pens.
More breeders are expected to
send in entries.
Chickens and Turkeys
Poultry breeders of the county
will have number of turkeys on
display at the fair. Several tur-
key breeders have spoken for
space and seven or eight breeds
of chickens will be represented
While the vegetable and grain
division will be shorter than us
ual, a survey of the situation in
several communities indicates
that each will have fair display
at the fair In practically every
garden in the county vegetable ex-
hibits of considerable merit can
be located. With an increasing
interest in assembling community
displays, it is believed that a good
show in the agricultural and vege-
table departments is assured
Cooking
Provisions are being made for
the usual culinary display. In
1925 there were 3OS entries and
it is expected that this number
will be exceeded at the coming
show
The All Club department will
include needle work made by the
so All club members Of Roosevelt
county and will far exceed the
1928 show Practically every club
girl enrolled in Roosevelt county
will have full display Of five
at the fair.
The educational display which
has been assembled at the county
office represents
the work of every school in the
oo,,,,t,y ATrc InuJabor4 rao,ae+c
that space be provided for twice
as many exhibits as were on dis
play a year ago. With prospects
for an increase in number Of en-
tries in every division of the fair,
the coming Roosevelt County Fair
promises to be a great improve
ment over the 1928 show and will
be one that will be of interest to
every resident of Roosevelt and
