Farmer Bunkoed In Algona Auto Swindle Case
A Farm laborer posing as L B Boyd swindled Peter Spelman of $8750 by forging a legacy check, gaining a half interest in stock and crops, and borrowing Spelman's Overland car. The scheme folded when the bank flagged the fraudulent check. Boyd fled with the funds and a new vehicle. Local authorities pursued via Lake Mills and Winnebago county, with more losses potentially totaling around 1845 dollars if recovered.
