Geo. Bryant from the hills coun.
try was in the city Monday looking
after matters pertaining 10 the
Fritz WOlgast estate OF which he is
administrator, and told US that the
sale of the WOlgast personal p:o-
perty turned out exceptionally well
it having sold for $500 more than
what it was appraised at. Mr..
Bryant sympathized with the many
farmers in the hills who still have
their threshing to do, their grain
being in the shocks which must be
moved before their seeding can BE-
done, and hoped the weather would
be such that all of them would be
able to get both their threshing
and seeding done before it was toe
late in the season.

OFFICIALS NAY HOLD
Won |CEL'S PAPERS

New York, April 25.-Evidence pre-
sented here before the federal grand
jury investigating the alleged plot to
destroy the Welland canal established,
according to federal authorities, that
Captain Franz Won Papen's former Of
fee at 60 Wall street was not a
branch of the German embassy when
Wolfe Won Igel was arrested there on
April 1S and papers claimed by the
German ambassador seized.
The papers are now in the custody
of the department of justice in Wash
ington.
They were sent to the capital by
United States Attorney Marshall at
the request of the state department,
after Ambassador Won Bernstorff's de-
mand for their return on the ground
that they were seized on German ter
ritory.
Attorney General Gregory and the
local prosecuting officers insisted that
the former office of Won Papen is not
German territory. The state depart
ment announced that return OF
the papers rested on this pont.
1t also had an important bearing, 1t
is said, on the status of Won 1gel,
whose release the German ambassa-
dor demanded, representing that he
became a member of the embassy
staff in December, 1915.
