State Fish and Game Warden Hinshaw
| shows that there were siNty-one ar
rests made for violating various angles
or fish and game laws and that fines

Cedar Rapids.
The circulation Of fake copy Of the
Edmonton, Alberta, newspaper among
the workers in local packing plant
almost caused a riot at the plant
Thursday and resulted in e. II. Hardy,
an employe of the company, being TAX
en- into custody by federal marshals.
He is being questioned but the federal
authorities do not believe he can be
held. They are endeavoring to ascer-
tain who sent the paper thru the mails.
The paper carried a story to the effect
that New York City was in the hands
OF the Germans and that the Wool
worth building had been blown up;
that congress was in continuous ses-
sion enacting drastic/war measures
and that Edmonton Mad been bombed
| by Zeppelins. The story so aroused
the workmen that they attempted to
attack Hardy. Others came to his as
sistance and battle likely would have
followed had not Deputy Marshal
Eealy arrived when he did. Hardy has
son in the Canadian expeditionary
forces. He says he does not know whit
sent the paper.
