Tunan and the three men reported
here. In response TO questions,

that Mungalayan was not In the place
where he was supposed TO have been
for the last month; they had crept up
To the edge of the clearing and had
seen no one; that they had spent the
night there anS had seen no one:
and that they believed he had
gone elsewhere. They stuck TO
this story. although repeatedly ques-
toned. and so DR.. Cole and l surmised
that Mungalayan, hearing that a COM
paratively large number Of American
troops was at Malta, had proceeded

spring when covetous agent from
Kansas City liquor house invaded War
rem county and under the protection of
the supreme courts ruling that liquor
from outside states could be shipped in
and was protected under the interstate

Original packages filed the express
offices and it was said that there was
more drinking in indianola than ever
before in the city's history. The at
tention of the anti-saloon league was
called to it. The temperance forces
became active. An irregularity was
detected in the Kansas City liquor
