mardo in Wedge Murder Case.
Mason City, March !. Writing by
some one of letters addressed to the
sheriff's Office. threatening to make
trouble If a certain person was not ar
rested for the Clara Wedge murder
for which Frank Camardo awaits trial
caused the arrest Of George Barhof. a
Lehigh cement plant euploye, on a
charge Of blackmail
Barhoff is at liberty on bonds pend
! ing preliminary hearing. He denies his
guilt. The sherff's Office says the ar
rest was brought about because of al.
legged similarity Of the Barhof's hand
writing and that Of one or two anony-
nous letters received
The matter has been quietly investi-
gated for some time past, but was not
released for public action. even after
Barhoff's- arrest Tuesday until yester-
day, because Of the possibility that the
ends Of Justice might be defeated.
Sheriff Marsh says that at the time
the first anonymous letter was received
declaring a man it named should be
arrested the Office, the Office, contrary
to usual practice, took note Of 1t. The
man was brought in, and thoroughly
| examined. he established an ironclad
alibi, being able to prove by his fellow
workmen that he was at work for
hours before and for an or more after
the time Of the Wedge murder and the
firing OF the woman's home.

daily for export had tendency to

little incentive for the bulls.
Complaints Of failure Of eastern
roads to- accept shipments continued.
The close was steady with March at
$127% and May at sl.21.
Oats.
Continued scantiness Of arrivals
gave strength to oats. Owing to the
preference given TO the transport OF
corn, no important increase in oats
was looked for soon. After opening

Enemies of America
Buying Up Brood
Sous at Public Sales

A rumor has become current to the
effect that some agency is at work
buying up the brood sows Of the state.
A specific instance Of this practice
which took place recently near Van
Vert in Decatur county, has been
called to the attention Of the state
secret service department and will be
investigated by the state authorities.
1t appears that at recent public auc-
ton sales Of live stock, men styling
themselves horse buyers have appeared
and bought up all the brood sows, Of
fering much higher prices than those
customary for animals Of this kind.
These people seem to go from one
sale to another, ostensibly to buy
horses. but evidently being most anx-
ious to buy brood sows, which they
keep a short time and then ship to the

Washington, March 1.-Count Minot-
to, son-in-law Of Louis Swift. the Chi
cago packer. detained as an enemy
alien, was ordered held for action by
tn eattorney general but not ordered
deported. Evidence submitted against
the count was considered insufficient
