Narrative:
During initial climb from runway 35; we had a near mid-air collision with an aircraft improperly entering the traffic pattern. We took evasive action by immediately leveling and passing beneath the other aircraft. Tower had advised the other aircraft to enter the pattern from the northeast and had advised that pilot there were 2 aircraft currently in the pattern. The aircraft reported their position to the northeast; however they were approaching from the northwest. They then crossed the departure end while descending thus causing the collision hazard.
