SCOTT, Cashier, L. E. MEHLMANN, Asst. Cashier. is Frustrated Gus A. Beckman, who has been operating n street cornor renl estate olllee in this city, was put to route Fri day by County Clerk Yost, County Attorney Gibbs and tho county com missioners in an attempt to swindle Mrs. Almira Bowors out of half of her property on East Second street. Mrs. Bowers owns a block of ground and a house on East Second strret and Beck, man went to her and executed a deal whereby ho was to get the property of her for $225. Mrs. Bowers signed a deed for the property and Beckman took it to the county clerk to have it recorded. He paid twenty dollars down and gave in an old crippled horso at $25 and promised a mortgage for the remaining $175. After the deed had been taken to tho county clerk, Mrs. Bowers appeared and stnted that she had not yet received the mortgage and did not know whnt to do about it. Shortly after that, Beckman nppoared with a deed made out whereby ho trans ferred tho property to a man by the name of Cunningham, of whom it is supposed thnt he is a straw, and that he, as an innocent party would take the property and get away with it. Mrs. Bowers' son then appeared and stated that the abstract had been stolen. When thiBcnmeup, Beckman got scared and changed tho deed to take in only the east half of the block. These proceedings caused Mr. Yost to become suspicious and he called the county commissioners and County At torney Gibbs and they began investiga tion that resulted in their finding out that the man had a rather shady repu tation. They immediately brought pres sure to bear compelling Beckman to give a quit claim deed to Mrs. Powers, placing her in statu quo. Mrs. Bowers has a family of five children and has been a charge of the county every winter for several years. Tho county authorities have an interest in her welfare for this reason. She signed the deed and it was not stated in the deed that she was a widow and when Beckman brought the deed to be recorded this was brought to his atten tion and he wrote the wdrd himself. Beckman waB so glad of getting out of the deal so easily that he did not oven ask for the return of the money that he had alrendy paid down on the transac tion. He had intended leaviner town and had he done this and left the property in the hands of Mr. Cunningham, it would have required legal proceedings to return the property to Mrs. Bowers. Ellet V. Plake and Mrs. Nettie Still were married Friday afternoon at 3:80 at the Owl cafe. The room was taste fully decorated for the occasion and the ceremony was performed by Judge Grant.

According to the price, the value of tho seed grown on the sub-station farm is $750. 00 to $1,000.00 per acre. The cost of growing is about the same as sorghum. A case was filed Friday ovening in the county court by Miner Hinman against F. A.
