FARMER
At Mansfield Would Be A
Detective
Takes $3.50 Worth Of Les
sons, Buys Two Guns
And Then Starts
Out To Detect
(Mansfield News)

"Pm no dummy, I'm no fool, Rah,
Rah, Rah, correspondence school" !"
Clement L. Millinger farm hand liv-
ing near Tiffin, had not progressed far
enough in his correspondence course
to get his college yell but he had got
ten far enough to be arrested. When
arrested, Millinger told Captain Nc
Clure he had paid $40 for a cores
pondence course in detective school
but had gotten only $3.50 worth so far.
Millinger Is one Of the most guile
less men ever picked up by the po-
lice department. When taken into
custody, he had two revolvers Of an
cient make, his credential from the
Ludwig Detective Training school of
Kansas City, Missouri, card which
read, This will introduce to you
Clement L. Millinger, who is a men,
Der Of the G. T. Ludwig detective
training correspondence school of
Kansas City, Mo. Any courtesy shown
him will be appreciated by u.s."
Millinger also had u badge with the
inscription, Rural Ohio Police No.
So" He had $11 in real money. The
amateur detective had been around
the city several days and when the p0-
ice learned that he was carrying this
heavy artillery around with him, they
locked him up, fearing the detective
might violate Americas neutrality by
shooting Zeppelin or one of the fly
ing machines belonging to the allies.
Besides being an amateur detective,
Millinger is an expert potato digger
and SPAWN specialist. He says he
helped raise and dig several hundred
bushels of potatoes this year and has
cured many horses of SPAWN. He says
he can also file horses teeth. He
claimed the heavy guns he carried
were to kill horses which did not yield
to his SPAWN cure. After being ques
toned by the police and the city solic
itor, this middle aged farm hand with
an ambition to be a great detective
was allowed to go back to his native
potato patch, but his artillery was con
fiscated.

ROBERT FAY NAY TURN
STATES EVIDENCE
Alleged German Spy Has Lengthy
Conference In Tomls With Secret
Agent Flynn.

New York. November 14.--R ebert
Fay. who after fighting for Germany
in the trenches, came to this coun-
try to carry out n plot for Destroy
ing ships OF the allies sailing from
this port with munitions of war, sent
q hurry call from his cell in the
Tombs today for William j. Flynn,
chief OF the secret service. and John
c. Knox, special assistant United
states attorney.
The ex-lieutenant was eager to talk
to somebody. 1t was clear that he
had come to some decision about his
future attitude regarding the charges
against him. and he must unburden
himself at once. Mr.. Knox could not
be reached but the chief reached the
Tombs just as the reporters were
gathering there in the hope of COM
inunicatirg with Fay.
For more than an hour the chief
talked with Fay in the counsel room,
and he is reported to have taken notes
even more copiously than a reporter.
What was discussed between the head
OF the secret service and the alleged
bomb plotter could not be learned
from Mr. Flynn.
From reliable sources, however.
the following three significant facts
were learned:
First, Fay has offered to turn
States evidence.
Second. the story which Fay already
has told about himself has been vari-
fed in Europe almost to n word.
Third. the United States govern
ment has evidence corroborating Fay 9
story. as already printed, and connect
ing the German secret service with
the plans to wreck munition ships
blow up or set fire to munition fac
tories In this country.
More revelations concerning the ac-
tivities Of German agents in this coun
try are expected to be Forthcoming to-
morrow. for without doubt Fay will
be taken to the Federal building for
n conference with United States Dis
trict Attorney Marshall.
The reason for Fay's apparent change
of attitude toward the government of
ftctals has been apparent for several
days. He has evinced certain sulien
ness regarding things that happened
prior to his arrest, Though he has
done everything in his power to shield
men associated with him. he has
learned that certain persons who were
allied with him have not been as
staunchly faithful as he. He is re-
ported TO be in the position where he
will not protect persons who have not
been square by him.

BAXTER VISITS FLOOD.

CORDOVA.-Vice-Presidenl 9ax- ter. of the Copper River & Northwest ern railway, arrived in town last night from out the line, having made the trip from Tiekel to Abercrombie canyon by boat, as the track is over flowed, in spots between Tiekel and Mile 54.
 Although the water is at present above any known high water mark, since the road was located, Mir. Bax- ter does not apprehend any serious damage to the road, providing it re- cedes during the next few days. Until such time no repairs can be made.
 The track in under water for about 19 miles, which is from three to six feet deep in places. One or two oentS of several small bridges have been washed away and some of the em- bankments have caved in. As soon as the water goes down a large force of men will be put to work and it is not believed that it will take long to re- pair the roadbed and have trains run ming regularly.-Cordova Times.
