A few years ago a chicken bought
at one Of the local markets was found
to have a good sized gold nugget in
its crop. The purchaser later aseer-
tained the fowl had come from the
l.. H. Patterson ranch on the Florida.
The tale was told broadcast, and all
dressed chickens known to have been
raised at that point, have had their
crops carefully examined. A few
days ago, Mrs. Patterson killed hen
and upon opening its crop found it
contained a nugget. The well at the
ranch has just been cleaned out and
the poultry feasted on the gravel
taken from it, so it is supposed that
this was the source of the gold. Peo-
pie are anxious to know what de-
velopments there would bring forth.

SECRETARY OF IRON
WORKERS ARRESTED

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Following
the arrest in the Hotel Breslin here
of George f. Davis, alias Geo. o.
Donnell, who has been sought by of
ficers for two years, the federal at
torney office issued a statement
containing Davis confession, admit
ting participation with the McNa-
maras in dynamiting, and revealed
many new details of the case.
He admitted that he was Ortie
McManigaIs partner and co-worker.
Davis was first arrested at Pittsburg
three weeks ago, when he admitted
his identity.
Enroute here with Detective Rob-
ert Foster, the prisoner dictated his
confession, duplicating Harry Jones,
the present International secretary
treasurer of the Iron Workers union.
The confession alleged Davis was
chosen as head of fifteen dynamiters
assigned to blow up every non-union
building in the country while the Nc
Namaras were on trial to show that
the McNamaras were not doing the
dynamiting. However the Mcnamara
brothers quick pleas of guilty spoiled
the plan.
The confession described Davis
entire connection with the Iron Work
ers, which comprises the entire his
tory of facts developed at the Nc
Namara trials.
Davis was arraigned before Fed
eral Commissioner Shields where he
waived examination. He will be TAX
EN- to Indianapolis immediately for
further hearing.
