Sheriff Jacob Hermann had the
busiest day Of his official career so far
today, for the morning mail this morn

plant in the suit brought in the name
of the state Of Wisconsin against the
Milk Producers Association and the
sheriff was required to serve copy of

At the head of the list Of defendants
was Frank I. Holt of Pleasant Prairie,
a director and the president Of the
Milk Producers Association. This is
the first time that the name of Mr..
Holt has been mentioned in any of the
actions brought against the great as
ISOLATION of which he is the executive
head. The list of Kenosha county de-
PENDANTS included the president and
secretary Of every local branch of the
Milk Producers Association in Keno
sha county, together with the direc-
tors of the larger associations from
this county. Under the orders given
to the sheriff every man named as a
defendant must be served with the
summons and complaint today and
many deputies were called into service
to aid the sheriff in completing the
work. Trips must be made to every
part of the county. The summons
provides that the men named must
answer within the next twenty days.
Not one of the Kenosha county men
served today was ready to discuss the
possible defense that would be made
by the members of the association. It
is understood that the matter will be
taken up with attorneys at once and
that an answer for all of the defeu-
dants will be made within the time
set in the complaint. The attorneys
representing the state have let it be
