that the crop Of this year should have
been restricted to the area that could

could be handled cheaply. The man

Capt. Leach informs us that the Ben
ton Packet Co. will operate seven boats
and three barges between Washburn
and up-river points this fall. In spite
of the new road across the Missouri,
the grain. shipments by water this year
will be heavy. The reason for this is
that the boat company has made a flat
rate on grain hauling in competition
with the N. P. on the other side of the
river.

Recorder Carroll on a charge OF drunk.
cnncss 3achman was questioned by de-
tectives. lie denied he had ever heard
. OF Mrs. Mack or knew u murder had
been committed He was sent to the
county Jail.
F. The fact that the numerous dogs
about the Mack farm. particularly a
vicious mongrel which was chained near
the back door OF the house, did not bark
or give other alarm OF the approach OF
the murderers is the single slender
clue upon which the secaucus detective.
are working. This must Indicate, they
reason, that those who were bent on
roosery and murder were known to the
dogs.
I Reasoning from this basis the officers
arc bending every effort 10 locate the
