The Bunko Man Detected in Local Scam
Farmers in the area were allegedly swindled by a con artist calling himself Dr E W Haskett, who claimed affiliation with a Kansas City institution. Victims paid for supposed cures and medicines, with notes signed for six months, while the so called treatment promised impossible results. The writer labels the operation a fraud from top to bottom.

Mine Operator Doctor Robbing locals at Cave Springs
The institution head Dr Bonesteel ran mines at Cave Springs. Notes were negotiated in Baxter and nearby except for Mr Coe who accepted a $20 repayment for his note. The doctor claimed kinship with Charlie Haskett, who denies any relation. The medical man has left the area, and locals hope to spare others from similar fraud. About six months some notes fall due locally.
