TWO HUNDRED ACRES
AN IDEAL SPOT

One of the best farms in
Iowa is offered because the
owner cannot work like he
used to. He wants to sell
and will take in exchange
q forty or an eighty acres.
It's a finely improved Iowa
farm not far from Extra.
Taere is a fine house and a
good S ct of buildings on the
rarm and aconsta ntly flow
ing. we'll recently added to
the Improvements. 1t is
well worth the money asked;
as a much larger farm a.
cross the road and not as
we'll improved sold for ten
dollars per acre more than
we are asking.
1t is within three miles of
a 1900 town on RED. and
phone. If you are looking
for a good farm we invite
your attention.
We have a town property
also that will stand inyesti-
cation. 1t will suit you.

The burglary was detected when Mr.,
Garfin opened the store yesterday

the police. 1t is believed that the theft
occurred sometime after the rain Of

$500 FOR sLAYER's ARREST
Woonsoeket Citizens Raise Fund and

Miss Gerken's Friends lncensed
Because Of Misinterpretation Of Let.
tiers Written by Young Man.

Sioux City, July 12.-Mayor ]. R. Dali
ton, of Woonsocket. s. p. went to the
Woonsocket State Bank and deposited
$500, representing fund raised oy
citizens to spur on detectives in the
search for the slayer of Miss Thecla
Gerken, school teacher. who was shot
down in Sioux City by an unknown
assassin June y.
The money" said the mayor IN
telegram to the Tribune lis on deposit
and will be paid over to the person, or
persons, who arrest and bring about
the conviction of the murderer. The
arrest must be made before Oct. 1.
I'VE have heard nothing from the
Sioux City police" the mayor added
No private detectives have been en-
ployed. the mayor said. Woonsocket,
he declared, is now depending upon the
Iowa state police to clear up the mys-
terry.
Whether state agents are at work on
the case now is not known. Ole I.
Naglestad. county attorney, who last
week sought state aid, would neither
deny nor affirm the report today that
state men have been working quietly
on the case for several days.
The authors Of several letters found
on Miss Gerken after the killing have
been located. and. il is said, have been
absolved from all blame in the case.
One of two letters. upon which the
police pinned much faith, and which,
incidentally. was used as lever for
much publicity OF sort which aroused
vhe ire Of the slain girls friends lives
at Mitchell, S. ..
Some Of the statements in this young
mans letter. as interpreted by the
police and made public, threw oues-
tionable light against the character OF
the dead school teacher. According 10
investigators, this young man explained
every statement. It was found, 1t wa.
learned today, that the police had mis-
interpreted the meaning Of innocent
statements.
Chief Of Police Hawman refuses 20
discuss the Gerken case in any way.
However. 1t is known that the theory
holding Miss Gerken waA slain by mis-
take Is gaining credence among the poa
