Swindlers Work Blue Earth and Rock Rapids in Loans
The Blue Earth City register reports a trio of swindlers who preyed on local lenders, notably Van Slyke and Pierce, by using forged deeds and fake identities such as David N. Ross and Oscar Hurd. The schemes center on 80 acre parcels in Delavan and Buchanans counties, with loans ranging from 1000 to 2000 dollars. Investigations trace similar scams to Minnesota and Iowa, with authorities pursuing suspects and urging sheriff-led manhunts.
