Farmer Near Montrose pleads Guilty
to Larceny as ealiee Of Three
Bushels Of Tuhers from
keokuk Woman.
WOMAN MADE MISTAKE
She Files Charges Against Two Inno-
cent and Respectable Farmers
Before Finding One
She Sought.

Mrs. J. G.. Strohmeier was visiting
her sister when the latter bought
three bushels of nice potatoes for
Sl.5O bushel. Mrs. Strohmeier said
she would take three bushels, too,
paid the man $3.50 for them, and
offered to send her little son to show
him where to deliver them. She says
the man refused the proffered guide,
saying he knew well where she lived,
and that boys playing in the neigh
borhood say he drove around several
corners and went on his way.
Mrs. Strohmeier after some detec-
tive work had Louis Wilson, living on
the Boyd farm near Montrose, hailed
before Justice Burrows. On the theory
that the potatoes belonged to Mrs.
Strohmeier who entrusted them to
Wilson for delivery, and the monde
livery was defalca ton, the charge
was larceny as bailee. Constable
Reichman brought Wilson in and he
pleaded guilty, but claimed as miti-
cation that he could not find the
house of Mrs. eStrohmeier. He repaid
her the $3.50 and paid the costs and
was discharged without any fine.
Mrs. Strohmeier's detective work
was not very accurate. First, she
filed an information against and had
arrested very respectable farmer
near Sandusky who came into court
wearing a big mustache, when the
potato seller was smooth shaven.
That defendant was released at once.
Next, Mrs. Strohmeier furnished the
name of another farmer around San
dusky, but that time the constable
insisted that she accompany him and
identify the man before he served
any more warrants. The second man
she prosecuted was not the right one.
either Finally she and the constable
found and identified Wilson who con-
fessed he was the man she was seek
ing.

ute or two, '
I'll relate short lesson about con-

To be truthful and exact, Unjust start
about last May,
For that was when Congress paSsed |
the act. heard people say.
Each man between the age Of twenty |
one and thirty, just in his youth |
and bloom,
Was requested to register in his own
precinct on the fifth day Of June.
Some said II was for the census, while |
others said twas for the war,
And to the best of my opinion, they
did not miss 1t far.
Most of them registered with q heart
good and true,
As they thought Of their forefathers,
who wore the grey and blue.
A few of them were smart enough,
their age to deny.
But such men as they, cannot pass
their dear old Uncle's eye.
Next came the draft and army to u
mite
And select out, the men best able to
fight.
1t was a fair law, we can all plainly
see,
To shake up the numbers at Wash
ington D. c.
The poor and rich CT whatever they
be,
Must all fight together for the flag of
the free.
We have here, many aliens from
those lands far away
no should now staEd together and
protect the U. s. A.
They had to leave their home and
their parents as we'll
To seek a better living where the
men of freedom dwell,
Now why should they abandon it and
return home again?
Some may claim exemption but for
very little reason.
They may have picked up bride ear
ly in the season.
But young men you must remember,
If married since the fifth of June
1t is only now September and you
cant have a dependant family
so soon.
Besides you were forwarned by Con-
gress last May,
That there would be no exemptions
for those who married after reg
istration day.
One man claimed exemption and
when asked what was his claim,
Said he had a widow with two or
phans
And could not leave the same.
If you will think a moment and this
excuse recall,
You can see his wife became wild
ow before he died at all.

badly stung,
They went and registered to make
the girls believe them young,

they were in June.
This war we know is cruel, on land
and ON the sea,

When the call for examination is sent
out to every man,
He should be ready and willing to dc
whateer he can,
To fight for the Stars and Stripes and

down upon his knees.

Shameless War Rumcr Mongers

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The
multitude of false, sensational and
nimble-footed war rumors that have
distressed patriotic citizens and pos
sibly interfered with the success of at
least part of the war auxiliary work
have received the attention of the
grand jury and the judge of the United
States district court for the southern
district of New York. A woman who
is senior surgeon for a college for
women and children at Boston is
charged with having made a statement
at Vassar college, or to the president
of the college, that 1T was matter
of common knowledge that 200 beds
had been reserved in the Sloane ma
ternity hospital, New York City, for
Red Cross nurses who were returning
from France and expecting immediate
confinement"
The grand jury reported that a thor
ough inquiry proved that there was
not an iota of truth in this statement
and that the woman who made it row
admits that she was miSinformed. She
was exonerated of any disloyal inten-
ton. but the grand jury felt impelled
to say in the way of general comment,
that it deplores the tendency shown
by the public in general to give ready
ear to and repeat stories and reports
