Cherokee Farmer Meets a Real Slicker in Iowa Fraud
The Mapleton bank notified Wim Haight of Aurelia that a $800 check from J. W. Morris for twelve registered cows and calves was fake. Morris, posing as a landowner from Mapleton, selected cattle, used a forged Morris check, hired handlers, and sold stock in Sioux City. Investigations show the cattle were dispersed to Dresk Heep Co, Jones Commission, and John Brechwald, exposing a careful scam and warning farmers to verify strangers.

Builders Slow Down As City Construction Slacks
Construction activity in cities has slowed with the postulated peak of the building boom. Auto manufacturers cut steel orders amid sagging sales of new machines while installment plans left many cars partially paid. The reduced buying power hits the midwest and east, with workmen laid off in large cities. Henry Ford reportedly laid off 4,000 at the Minneapolis plant. Grachtenberger sportsmen visited Kossuth county to chase pheasants during a three day open season, while outside hitters took advantage of the same.
