Asks to See His Agreement and When
II is Shown He Chews II to Pulp.
Waterloo, Ia, Dec. Tone of the
most peculiar cases ever tried in this
section of the state is now before
the grand jury at Independence
John Diehl, farmer in Washington
township, is the defendant. Last
summer some agents appointed Diehl
local agent for a patent fence. As
evidence of his good faith they re-
quired him to sign an agreement,
which turned out to be an order for
"a machines. Learning of this Diehl
went to the agents and requested to
see the agreement. Seeing its real
nature, he put 1t in his mouth and
ground 1t to a pulp. The agents had
him arrested for larceny and he is
being tried on this charge.
