D., April 18.—(AP) —With threats against his life and the lives of his children, extortion- ists here last week attempted to ob- tain $1,500 from Donald Lum, one of the publishers of the Richland Coun- ‘®|ty Farmer-Globe, it was revealed Monday. Arrest is expected momentarily of a suspect in the case. Warning him repeatedly “not to be a fool and tell the police or sher- iff or state’s attorney,” the letter instructed Lum to take the $1,500 in $5, $10 and $80 bills, wrap them in @ newspaper and leave the package near a Standard Oil sign three miles south of Wahpeton on highway 81. “Leave the money there and don’t try to fool us” warned the note. Lum, however, consulted with the Richland county sheriff and Satur- day morning left a package filled with paper on the spot designated while deputies from the sheriff's of- fice watched. The suspect was seen to pick up the package, according to the sheriff, who “clocked” the act at 10:23 a, m., Saturday. The attempt to extort $1,500 from Lum was the third of such plots to be laid in Wahpeton within the last 18 months. Gordon Bjornson is now serving five years in the North Dakota pen- itentiary for extorting $25,000 from . A. Leach, Wahpeton banker. Bjornson surrendered in Minneapolis after a hunt which extended over the entire midwest. In July, 1931, an attempt was made to get $75 from W. D.
