PREDICTS EXODUS OF GERMANS.
Commissioners Of St. Cloud, Mimi, Tells
of Prohibition at Davenport.

Davenport, March THAT the state
of Iowa will lost a considerable part or
its German population due to the re-
peal of the mulct law and that Mime
sofa will be The gamer thereby is the
opinion of l.. J. Rocholl, cs>pclmis-
sioner of ST. 3Cloud. Mimi, who is in
Davenport for the purpose of inspect
ing the water works system. Commits
sioner Rocholl called upon City Clerk
Hugo Moeller and other officials at the
city hall, and during the course OF MS
conversation, threw some additional
light upon the prohibition question.
when the first prohibition laws
went into effect in the inland part OF
Iowa, there was a general exodus OF
German farmers to Minnesota" said
Mr.. Rocholl I'm fact, there is a regu-
lar colony of Iowa Germans near ST.
Cloud. They came up there because
they believed in personal liberty ana
did not care to have a few so called
law makers dictate their course of
conduct and manner of living.
These Germans are numbered
among our best citizens" continued
Mr.. Rocf1ol,. Every year they cele-
brate what they term an Iowa day.
They charter q special train and have
a grand reunion, with an all-iay picnic
and all accessories thereto. It is big
function.
with the repeal OF the mulct law
we look for a still bigger exodus OF
Iowa Germans to Minnesota. Iowa
will be the loser and we will be the
gamer"

Hangs Up Remarkable Score.

Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa City, March 1.-Ritie shooting
records at Iowa City have been broken
again. Donald Price, shooting with
one hand-lacking the other entirely
has made a score of 100, out of a pos
sible 100, in standing shooting. This
has never been done before in high
school circles in Iowa, and rarely in
the United States. Price also made
SO, prone, thus coming within a point
of a perfect score, something never
made by high schoolers. altho two
members of the Washington state col
lege team accomplished the feat in a
recent shoot, the first time it has been
done in intercollegiate circles. George
Lee, of Iowa City, duplicated the 1873,
but he made his 100 prone, and lost the
point standing.

YOUNGER STRANDNESS
FORGED NOTES TRYING
TO Save HIS FATHER
Arrested By Federal Officer, He
Admits Crime-Now Held In
Jail at Aberdeen.

Butler, S. D., Nov. 2O.-Ted Strand
ness cashier of the Farmers State
bank OF this city and son of Torgus
Strandness, the missing cashier of the
First National! bank of Bristol. was ar
rested last night by Deputy United
States Marshal Closson.
Strandness was taken to Aberdeen
FOR arraignment before Commissioner
William Wallace on the charge of aid
ing and abetting in the abstraction of
INC from a national bank. He ad-
united his guilt and is held in Jail, tenn
porarlly, In default of $4,000 bonds.
Before becoming cashier of the bank
here, the junior Strandness was book
Keeper in the now defunct bank at
Bristol. 1t Is claimed that his irregu-
!ar there was in line with
general attempts to help his father out
OF a pad hole. due to sp%eculations on
the board of trade. The young mar
that he did, on December 1.
l9l4. forge notes to the amount of $15,-
oOO and place them in the banks secur-
lty pouch in order to cover that amount
or cash which had been taken and used
by his father.
While the state banking department
a found no shortages in the affairs
OF the Butler State bank, it is intimated
tnat the department will not permit
the bank to be reopened by members
OF the Strandness family. Negotiations
now are In progress for the purchase
OF the ban by other persons and the
institution probably will resume busi-
ness within q very short time. The
FEDERAL officers probably will levy on
n $4,000 Of stock in the Butler bank,
held by Torgus Strandness and Ted
Strandness, to apply on the First Ma
tional shortage at Bristol.
IN spite OF rlmOrS that TnrU11l

Ter. had been located in an eastern
state, the federal officers deny all
knowledge of, his present whereabouts.
although admitting that a vigorous
search Is being prosecuted. The short
age OF Torgus Strandness at Bristol,
1t is said. will go very close to 500. 900,
entirely wiping out the banks capital
stock OF $25, 900 and making inroads
on the 1921, 900 in deposits.

AUTOMOBILES USED IN
CARRYING STOLEN GRAIN

Aberdeen, s. D., Nov. 20.-A new
form Of up to date thievery appears to
have developed in this region, where a
number Of farmers. and elevators re-
ports thefts of grain, apparently by au-
tomobile thieves. No individual has
lost a great amount of grain, but the
grain stolen must amount in the ag-
gregate to thousands of bushels.
"A. Oliver, q farmer near Groton, left
q wagon load Of grain standing over
night. Next morning when he went
out to hitch his horses to the wagon
to haul the grain to an elevator in
Groton, he found about half the grain
missing. A sack was found beside the
wagon, but there was no name or iden-
~tification mark on the sack.
On the Streeter farm, west of Groton.
someone drove up in an automobile
during the night, filled a number Of
sacks with grain and drove off. They,
too. were careless with their sacks and
left two on the ground beside the
granary. These sacks bore the name
of q man whom Streeter is confident
would not steal, and it Is supposed the
sacks were stolen.
On the James farm, near the Streeter
farm, the same thing occurred. At this
place the granary is high, necessitating
the thieves climbing to enter 1t, and
one sack Of grain fell and burst open,
and was left on the ground. Another
theft Is reported on the Ben Perry
place in the Groton neighborhoOd, and
1t Is probable many similar thefts have
occurred.
