Petersburg. Ind, August 9.-Whil'
Ellsworth Hoskins, who owns thrash
ing machine outfit, was thrashing
wheat on the farm of William Lent
near Iva. this county, recently,
large quantities of, scrap iron were
found secreted in the bundles. The

ling the first bundle, the band cutter
struck a piece of iron which proved
to be the ring off a scythe handle.
Other bundles of grain were opened and
iron found in several of them.
There is no known cause why such a
deed should be perpetrated, and the
clew to the miscreant is unknown.
Some people have been trying to
lay all the disorders that have been
taking place in the vicinity of Iva to
alleged Night Riders, asserting that
these men are the lawless element of
the Farmers Alliance, who have been
sending threatening letters through
the mails. tearing up farm machinery
and calling men from their beds at
night Only a few days ago. at
the farm of Robert Burns. in the same
neighborhood, iron in wheat bundles
was fed through the separator and the
machine was badly damaged. At a
meeting of the Farmers Cooperative
and Educational Society, held last
night at Iva, strong resolutions were
passed condemning any acts of law
lessness committed to any one, wheth-
er member of the society or an in
dependent farmer.
