PAYS 100000 FINE
FOR KIDNAPPING
MARTIN co. SHERIFF SETTLES
SUIT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ORGANIZER
KIDNAPPING ON BAD ADVICE
OF ATTORNEY ALLEN IS
COSTLY

by paying the sum of $500 to settle
the suit for kidnapping brought against
HIM by Joseph Gilbert, the sheriff OF
Martin county, Mimi, offers another
acknowledgment of the illegal acts against
the Nonpartisan league farmers in this
state.
This case, concluded in favor of the
League man by being settled before.
1t came to court, was based IN high
handed attempt Of this sheriff to take.
both Mr.. Gilbert and A. C. Townlev
from the jurisdiction of the Ramsey
county court. The two League men
had been indicted in Martin county on
the trumped-up charge of circulating
seditious literature in the midst of the
1918 primary campaign After they
had been freed on bail by the Ramsey
county court, the Martin county sheriff
appeared suddenly at League head
quarters with the intention of spiriting
both men away to Martin county.
Mr.. Townley happened to be in an
other state, but Mr.. Gilbert was seized
and hurried off in an automobile before
a court order could be obtained. Long
before the sheriff could get return
train to Martin county, League awyers
had writ of habeas corpus, but the
sheriff was unable to surrender Mr..
Gilbert because he had already sent him
away in charge of a deputy. The follow
ing day Mr.. Gilbert was allowed to return
to ST. Paul.
Penalty of $500 Provided
The Minnesota statutes provide that
a man thus deprived of his liberty can
recover a penalty of $500, and suit was
brought against Sheriff Carver to collect
this amount. Attorney Allen, who repre-
sented him, made a desperate attempt
to have this suit tried in Martin county,
where the populace had been thoroughly
cowed by series of prosecutions which
kept the Martin county Jail full of
farmers and others who had incurred the
enmity of the notorious prosecutor. But
Allen lost in this attempt, the court de-
Gliding that the case should be tried in
Ramsey county, where the kidnapping
occurred.
The case was due to come up for trial
when Sheriff Carver made the offer OF
settlement. He confessed that he had
acted illegally and pleaded that the full
penalty provided by law would be
hardship. upon him. Sheriff Carver
said that he had no intention of breaking
the law and would not have done so but
for the orders and advice of Attorney
Allen
The trumped-up case which the.
Martin county attorney brought against
Mr.. Gilbert and Mr.. Townley was
thrown out with whitening comment
by the, supreme court of Minnesota
Another case brought at about the same
time against G.. A. Lindbergh, the
farmers candidate for governor, was
dismissed before being brought to trial.

FOREST FIRE COST
IMMENSE IN STATE
OVER SIS, $780, 900 PROPERTY EE
STROYED IN ONE YEAR
cox REPORTS
MINNESOTA RECEIVES ONLY 2
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR
FROM WASHINGTON

Minnesota property losses from forest
fires during 1918-the heaviest on record
-equalled total of more than $2S, $780,
| 900, according to the annual report by
W. T. Cox, state forester, made to the
| Federal chief forester at Washington,
last Friday. Mr.. Cox states that this
enormous amount would provide ade-
quate forest service for more than eighty
years: Alongside of this loss, the Fee
'deral aid given each year to the State
OF Minnesota under the provision Of
the Weeks act designed to protect
| forests at headwaters of navigable
streams looks like drop of water in
! the ocean, This aid amounts to $4,000
! a year. ~
| SIS Forest Fires.
The report shows 525 forest fires in
| Minnesota during 1918. Of this total
! TIA were of miscellaneous and 1870 of
unknown origin; 11S resulted from brush
burning, 80 from railroad engines, Is
from campers carelessness, 3 each from
| lightning and numbering operations, and
one from incendiarism.
The rainfall during the year wassub-
normal, and this together with high
winds made it very difficult for the fire
fighting forces to get the fires under
| control
Inadequate Patrol.
The state appropriation of $4,000 a
year is inadequate for the necessary
patrol forces in the 20,000,O00 acres
making up the rangers district. With
that sum only partial patrol can be
maintained. This is partly responsible
for the wide extension of some of the
fires and later on necessitates far higher
appropriations by the legislature as a
remedial expenditure. During last year
these relief sums reached the high
total of $3,450,00O. Of this the legis.
lature appropriated $1,850,00o, besides
100000 for military relief work; 81 ,0OO,.
900 was collected in voluntary contri
buttons and 100000 was distributed
by the State Public Safety Commission
! Legislative Program Outlined.
Forester Cox outlined the pending
legislative program, notably the bill.
to provide a workable basis for pro

CRIMINAL WARNING
ON WHEAT DEALING
Director Barnes to Invoke Law
for All Violations of Lii
cense Provision.

Julius II. Barnes. United States
to all dealers in wheat who are required
to obtain licenses under the law and
who may seek to continue bushes with
out such permit or to do business with
concerns or individuals not possessing
the necessary license. The warning
reads
mot only is It criminal to engage
In business requiring license without
such license, but one OF the important
conditions upon which licensees hold
their licenses is that they will not en-
gage in business with any one required
to obtain a Wheat Directors license
who has not obtained such a license.
Furthermore all licensees are required to
place the words United States Wheat
Director License No. -" followed by
the number of the- license upon every
contract. order. az optance Of order, in
voice, price list ard quotation issued
or signed by Their relating to wheat or
wheat products.
consequently licensees can readily
ascertain whether those with whom they
are dealing have obtained the requisite
license. II they engage in business In
licensed commodities with any one who
is required to obtain n license and has
not done so, such licensees endanger
their own licenses. In this way menu
bers of the various trades affected be-
come aids of the Wheat Director in
seeing that dealers who are required
TO obtain licenses make their applica-
ton. In addition violators Of the IL
cense requirements coming to the at
tention of the Wheat Director will be
reported to the Department of Justice.
Those required by the act of Con-
gress and proclamation OF the Prest-
Dent to secure licensts consist of all
persons, firms, corporations and ASSOC
Citations engaged in or carrying on the
business of storing 1r distributing wheat
or manufacturing. storing or distribut-
ing wheat -four, and all persons. flrms.
corporations and associations who
manufacture, either wholly or partly
from wheat -four bread or other bakery
products for salc-excepttng, however
"Ca) Bakers and manufacturers Of
bakery products whose consumption OF

products is in the aggregate less than
fifty barrels per month.
"(b) Retailers ana FARMERS, coopera-
| two associations of farmers or other
persons with respect to the products OF
any farm or other land owned. leased or
cultivated by them; and
"(c) Common carriers. as to opera
tons necessary to the business OF COM
mon carriers.
These wheat director licenses are re-
ouired as one step in carrying out the
price guarantees made to producers OF
wheat OF the crop of 1919 and to pro-
tect the United STATES against undue
enhancement OF its liabilities there
under. There lie no reason why those
required to obtain licenses should not
do SO and as two months have elapsed
since the proclamation of the President
recurring licenses there Is no longer any
excuse for any one who has failed to
| procure licenses"
