Indiana Emigrants to North Dakota are Planning Return.

Fowler Republican-Leader. The hot winds that were the bane of the settlers of the West a dozen years ago have come again after an absence of several seasons and are rapidly ruining the corn prospects in the Dakotas. Letters from Hoosiers who emigrated last year to the vicinity of Larimore bring the news that crops there are nearly burnt up and at best will average less than a fourth of a crop. This means financial ruin to many of the emigrants who have all their resources tied up in this year’s crop and some of those who went from the vicinity of Brook are said to be preparing to return to Indiana.
