Fraud at Utter and Becker Drug Store in Welcome
A man and woman swindled Utter and Becker of $5 in a sly storefront cash grab using a $10 bill and a hidden five. Harris and partner were jailed in Fairmont after the theft, with a similar $5 scam reported at Klein Variety and Truman post office. Also, orange marmalade making tips from Iowa State College urged homemakers to stock up while oranges were affordable.
