C|GARET IS CLUE TO MURDER
STUB FOUND OUTSIDE WINDOW
OF HAWKINS HOME.
Detectives Suspect Both Man and a
Woman Were There When Mer-
chant Was Killed.

Minneapolis, Jan. 16-Disclosure of
the fact that several burnt matches
and the stub of cheap cigaret were
found outside the window through
which it is believed was fired the shot
which killed w. p. Hawkins, and
slight changes in the story told by
Mrs. Hawkins, are the chief develop
ments in the investigation of the
death of the meat dealer.
Discovery of the footprints of a
woman on the driveway at the side of
the building at 1l5 Fifteenth street
west, in which the Hawkins lived, led
the police to believe that woman
might have left the vicinity of the
window through which the shot is
thought to have been fired about the
time of the shooting.
The discovery Of the matches and
cigaret stub outside the window
makes the detectives suspect that both
a man and a woman stood outside this
window just before Hawkins was
killed.
The cigaret was found by the police
when they first searched the Hawkins
fiat and the yard. 1t is one of cheap
brand, smoked more in the South than
here. Green, the janitor, does not
smoke cigarets, and none of the police
men called smoke the brand in ques

AID FOR FARMERS
IN RAISING STOCK
N. w. NATIONAL. BANK TO CON.
DUCT CATTLE LOAN DE-
PARTMENT.
w. E. BRIGGS TO HAVE CHARGE
New Vice President Has Constructive
Mind and the New Venture Is
Expected to Prove Boon
to Cattle Men.

Minneapolis.-W. E. Briggs, newly
elected vice president of the North
western National bank has assumed
his duties and has taken hold OF the
new department which he Is to con-
duct and develop-that of cattle loans.
His coming marks the purpose OF the
bank not only to enlarge its business
in cattle paper, but to become more
and more factor in the encourage
ment of the live stock industry OF the
Northwest.
Bank men say that Mr.. Briggs Is a
wizard in handling cattle loans. He
learned 1t as vice president OF the
Stockyards National bank Of South st.
Paul and as an officer of the st. Paul
Cattle Loan company, both of which
positions he has quit in taking the
Minneapolis job.
Evolution of Minnesota Farm.
To many minds, financing the farm
er in the live stock industry might
cold round dollars alone figured. But
seem prosaic work-one in which
not so to Mr.. Briggs. The evolution
of the Minnesota farm from the all
grain stage into a live stock factory
appeals to him with the force of vast
romance 1t stirs his imagination, and
no small part of his activities in the
new department, it is said, will be
directed toward developing the mag
ination Of the farmers Of this and
neighboring states.
Some biologists can look intently at
the scale Of fish and then reconstruct
the whole fish-build up mental pic
ture of the animal even if the scale be
the sole relic of. some prehistoric ere
alton. But Mr.. Briggs can do far
more than that.
Vision of Real Money.
He can shut his eyes and see thou
sands of herds of live stock fattenine
sleek and comfortable from the har
vest of those fields, and innumerable
contented farmers and farmers wives
living happily on farms where dwell
| ing houses have all the 'city" con
veniences and automobiles keep the
roads busy between town and country
| He can see consolidated schools, anC
boys and girls scorning to leave the
farms, and general prosperity holding
| the trenches along every country high
way. That's what comes of having
| imagination. Then, probably behind
! it all, there is the vision of real money
rolling in to the bank as interest OF
cattle loans.
| What is Cattle Loan?
| What is the bankers part in bring
| ing all this about, and what is "cat
tie loan," anyhow? Mr. Briggs wa
askedeto explain. He came back, will
question: "DO you realize that ther'

and that the per capita share is de
creasing-that the shortage of live
stock in this country is serious cor
dition?

Fire and Disease Menace.
