MASKED MEN HANG
AN |. ". W. Chief
Leader of Gang Of Men Who Travel
All Over County Doing Damage
In All Sections.

Frank Little, member of the execu-
tive board of the Industrial Workers
of the World and prominent in labor
troubles In Arizona, was taken from
a lodging house at Butte, Mont, on
Wednesday by masked men and
hanged to a railroad trestle ON the
outskirts Of the city.
The body was cut down at a. m.
by the chief of police, who identified
it. Little, In recent speech, referred
to United States troops as Uncle
Sans scabs in uniform"
Since his arrival in Butte recently
from Globe, Ariz., Little had made a
number of speeches to strikers in all
of which he had attacked the govern
ment and urged the men to shut
down the mines in the Butte district.
He was bitter in his denunciation of
the government. His record was un-
der investigation by the federal au-
thorities, whose attention had been
called to his activities. On the other
hand, the report was current that Lit
tie was in the employ Of prominent
detective agency and one theory was
that he was the victim of the radical
element of whom he appeared to be
a member.
Little took a very prominent part
in recent labor troubles in Arizona.
He addressed letter to Governor
Campbell of Arizona, protesting
against the deportation of I. w. w.
members from Bisbee. This letter
was written from Salt Lake. Cover
nor Campbell replied. telling Little
he resented his interference and his
threats. Little was understood to
have the confidence of William ID.
Haywood. secretary of the I. w. w.
national organization, and was re-
garded as one of Haywood's chief
Flieutenants. Little was cripple, but
very active and a forceful speaker.
On Titles body was card bear
ing these words, First and last warn
ing. Others take notice. Vigilants."
Little was taken out Of the build
ing in which he roomed by a party
of masked men who took him away
in an automobile. He was not given
time to dress. The building is near
the Finn hall, which is headquarters
for the new Metal Mine Workers
union, which recently called strike
of miners and which was frequently
addressed by Little.

NEW STORE FOR AUDUBON.

On September first Christ Olson,
who has been conducting a depart
ment store in the Henriksen building.
will vacate the store room and move
his stock into his own building. where
he was located for several years be-
fore he went into his present loca-
ton.
As soon as the building has been
vacated the interior will be remod-
eled and made strictly up-to-date.
Then as soon as the new stock OF
goods can be unpacked the store will
be opened to the public as the Hem
riksen Brothers Department Store.
which is composed of B. H. Henrik
sen, Seq. Henriksen and w. c. Hen
riksen, three of as progressive and
industrious young men as there are
in this section of Iowa. All of them
have had. wide mercantile experience
and have always made good.
The stock of goods will be absO-
lutely new and right up-to-date, and
will include a complete line of dry
goods and groceries. It will probab-
ly take a month or more before the
store will be opened to the public.
The members of this new firm are
sons of Chris. Henriksen. who for
many years has been identified with
the business interests of the city.
They are too we'll known to need any
introduction from us. They are
wide-awake young hustlers. and will
without question make a success of
the new business undertaking.
The stock will be among the larg-
est in the city and these young men
will do everything in their power that
is honorable and legitimate to get a
share of the business of the cOmmun-
ity They are not quite ready to
make any public announcement at
this time, but will have something to
say through the columns of the Re-
nuhlican hefOre very long

CRESTON WOMAN HAD
Is QUARTS In BAG


"A Comedy of Errors" which was
not written by Shakespeare, was
acted out Friday afternoon on the
seph to Creston, in which play"
County Attorney Locke of Bedford,
the town marshal of LenOx. Mrs. w.
l.. McCauley, of Creston, and several
interested passengers were the act
Ors. Attorney Locke boarded the
train at Maryville with an eye and
nose for liquor, it being the custom
to bring 1t over to Union county
from the wet Missouri town. In
looking over the baggage the we'll
meaning attorney discovered very
suspicious looking suitcase. On in
vestigation 1t was learned that the
suitcase belonged to Mrs. McCauley.
Now Mrs. McCauley is a we'll known
woman of Creston, hence the unus-
ual interest which was at once mani
tested by the passengers.
The attorney began to search the
suitcase, but was refused by the own.

to do so. She still refused unless he
could show that he had the author.
ity. The deal was then called Oh
until they reached Bedford. when the
town marshal was called In to assist
and possibly to share in the grave re-
spOnsibility.
The suitcase was opened in the
presence of all the interested pas
sengers. Fifteen quarts was uncov-
cred, not Of liquor. but of canned
fruit and vegetables which Mrs. Nc.
Cauley was bringing from her moth
er's, whom she had been visiting In
St. Joseph.
1t was a most humiliating incident
for Mrs. McCauley, even greater than
| for the officers of the law.

KNIT FOR THE SOLDIERS.

The women of Audubon county
have now an opportunity to do some
thing for the boys who are drafted
from this county. The money that
was raised on Tag Day and from the
different porch parties given recently
is being used to purchase yarn SO
that women who want to do their
"bit" can get the yarn free and can
have no excuse for not helping to
make our boys comfortable.
There are over hundred boys who
will have to 60 soon and each boy
should have the comfort of these
knitted garments. This means a vast
amount of knitting for the women
of Audubon county. all Of whom can
secure yarn and the necessary in
structions by calling at The Smith
Fashion Shop.

TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN

! From about the age of three ane
extending indefinitely through child
hood years, there is no more valuable
AID for the mother who desires tc
promote the well-being OF lTer chill
dreu than walks and talks.
1t is usually most difficult for the
home keeping mother to find sufficient
ioisure~-or rather, uninterrupted le-s-
ure---to concentrate on work or play
with her children. We are all only
too familiar with the interruption Oh
the butcher, the baker, the telephone
the friendly neighbor, which preak
in repeatedly until one gives up in
despair But when you leave your
home and Its distractions behind you
YOU begin 10 realize that you have
found a way in which you can SO y
