TOWNLEY SAID FUTURE LIVE
LIHOOD WAS SAFE WHATEVER
HAPPENED.

st. Paul, Mimi, June ia. C.
Townley owns the Nonpartisan league
OWNS it as an asset, according to the
testimony of F. A. Tiegen in the
Townley bankruptcy hearing before
Referee Gideon S. Ives yesterday.
Mr.. Townley, in effect, told Tiegen
Of this ownership himself, Tiegen said.
Tiegen was the principal witness at
yesterdays session of the hearing and
his revelations of the amazing finan-
cial system of the league was espec-
tally significant as coming from "the
inside"
Tiegen was associated with Townley
from October, 1916 to September, 1917
first as confidential agent, later as a,
league organizer. Much of the infor-
nation he gave the referee yesterday
he got from Mr.. Townley personally,
he testified. The rest he got from
other men high in the confidence Of
the Nonpartisan leagues chief.
League Townley's Property.
"Mr. Townley said he had organized
the league and built it up for himself
and that he was under no obligations
to anybody" testified Tiegen.
Mr.. Tiegen testified further that:
7 The assets of the league and other
enterprises controlled outright by
Townley total approximately $2,000,-
900. &3f7.'.'.,
Tpwnley has collected approximate
lytf4,00O, 900 from the league and its
Subsidiary organizations. ,.:4.z
T0Wnley made the statement to him
in substance that whether the league
was failure or success he tTownley
needn't worry about his livelihood in
the future"
Townley drew a check against the
Nonpartisan Publishing company to
pay Tiegen for services rendered per-
sonally to Townley, thus indicating
Townley's individual ownership Of the
t,,pa!a,sr5i funds credited 1.-THE leesue sad ~
Townley's g Big; Roll.
Townley usually carried a large roll
of bills of denominations Of 500 and
more.
Townley told Tiegen that any man
going to work for the league or any
of its publication or other. subsidiaries
"must understand that it was his
(Townley's) interest that must be per-
petuated and conserved all the time. "
The Nonpartisan Publishing Com
pany was used as subterfuge to GOV
er up some of the funds collected by
the League. - 7s3s'
The bookkeeping system in the
league headquarters in St. Paul was
changed suddenly and the men at
work on the books told him (Tiegen)
that they were preparing them for an
audit by the department Of justice.
All the information Tiegen gave the
referee he got either from Townley
himself or from Arthur LeSeuer and
Joseph Gilbert, Townley's chief lieu
tenants; J. w. Brinton, manager of
United Consumers Storage company,
a league enterprise; John Hastings,
manager of the financial department
of the league and other leaders.
A subpoena calling for Mr.. Townley
to testify as to his financial affairs
has been issued, but has not yet been
served.

The picnic held at Taylor's grove on
the Banks of SweetwatAr Lake yester-
day was an unqualified success. It
was given by the Ramsey County
Farm Bureau and the Old Settlers
Association. Despite the threatening
weather there was 9 fine crowd in at
tendance and everything went off
smoothly. The Penn band was there
and freely discoursed music. A num-
Der of very interesting addresses were
delivered and much benefit was gained
from them. The gathering was in the
nature of get-together meeting and
the best of good fellowship was ap-
parent in the gathering. A nice pro-
gram of sports was pulled off and the
dance in the evening was greatly en-
joyed.

benefit of the Red Cross the fast Ca

local ball tossers. The game was play
ed before a large audience and was
hard fought all the way through, but
the locals were at all times in no dam

two innings, making four in the fourth
on combination Of errors, single
and a home run, and Pin the 9th on
two errors and a hit. DeVaney for
the locals again demonstrated his abil-
ity as slab artist and let the Cando
boys down with only six we'll scattered
hits striking out IA Of the visitors who
have record for being heavy "stick-
ers." On the other hand the locals
touched up the opposing pitchers for
II hits, even the invincible Carver be-
ing unable to stop the hitting which
was in evidence all through the game.
The local team is fast rounding into
shape and before the season is much
older they will have attracted the at
tention of the fans in4this district for
the makings of an especially clever
bunch. Team work is fast making
them a strong aggregation. In Sun

NEAR RIOT At
FERGUS FALLS

Fergus Falls, Minnesota, June IT
There was a sort of free for all fight
at Fergus Falls, Minn., Tuesday even
ing. Fathers and brothers Of Ameri-
can boys fighting in the trenches in
France, resented the Haunting Of Lind
bergh's banners in their faces. They
remembered that Lindbergh's book
said: !.
cit has indeed been humiliating to
the American people to see how the
wealth-grabbers, owners Of the big
press, actually attempt by scufrilous
editorials and especially prepared arti-
cles to drive the people as Il they were
a lot Of cattle to buy bonds, subscribe
to the Red Cross, to register f9r con-
scription, and all other things"
And again Lindbergh's book says:
"The wealth grabbers are. trying
to use US to make us mere machines
to wear out in producing wealth for
them"
"And," he adds, "if that is all we
are for, then God bless the kaiser, the
late car, the kings, big business and
all the Big Boys who caused the war.
It will at least be interesting while it
lasts"
Il. And SO the fathers and brothers of
American soldier boys tore thu ban
|ners down. The Lindberyh army,
which does all. its fighting ats home,
against Americans, then attempted to
sghip: the men who 4Yena after :ttheis
banners and merry he'll was to-, pay.
When it was all over the Lindbergh
warriors had acquired beautiful Ital-
ian sunsets and storm clouds beneath
their optics while many an otherwise
symetrical nose was out Of line and
the claet flowed freely over the land
scape. They lost the fight, lost their
banners, lost their blood, lost their
reputation and tits hoped when the
courts get through they will lose what
money Townley didn't get.
