serious injury. Mr.. Esbeck was ac-

Farmers Lose Many Hogs

Reportst have come to Griswold
several times of late from farmers
in that locality who have lost hogs
taken from their pastures, in one in
stance forty head were found miss
ing. Not trace can be found as to
where these hogs have disappeared
to. The owner has searched every
where imaginable for them but no
one has seen hog bearing his mark
The investigation made, however, re-
veals the fact that the hogs have
been hauled away in trucks. Gen
orally the party who lost hogs was
away on business mission and dur
ing his absence the stock was taken.
There is pretty strong suspicion
as to who the parties are doing this
work. A few clues that point to-
ward these people have been brought
to light and there is a possibility that
something will result from the evil
dence found. The farmers who have
lost stock are getting things worked
up right and some interesting de-
velopments will certainly take place
in the near future.

over or the occupants might have
been seriously injured.
Mr.. Esbeck was thrown against

received deep GU on his knee and
several stitches were necessary to
close the wound. This together with
a cut in the head us the extent of
his injuries. Mr.. visit was more
fortunate and was TO, injured SER
iously.
John says if the car had turned
turtle or had landed any other way,
he might not have been in a position
to tell the story. He was laid up
for few days following re accident
but is now able to get around with
the aid of crutches

BaoleY Store Robbed

Thieves, believed to be Connected
with the gang that has been operat-
ing so extensively in central Iowa
during the past few months, Broke
into the E. j. Denny store at Eagley
last Friday night and got away with
merchandise which will amount 10
nearly thousand dollars.
The store is the one which Mr..
Denny purchased of John Esslinger 4
few weeks ago, and is the bigges
establishment in Bagley.
A phone message from the mana
ger of the store this morning said
that the thieves cleaned out the silks
and woolens and took a number of
skirts, sheep-lined coats, leather vests
and mems suits and furnishings.
The exact loss could not be deter
mined until an invoice was made, but
he said the loss would be 500 or
$500, possibly a thousand.
The robbery was committed about
two o'clock in the morning. A young
man returning home at that time
said he saw two men enter the store.
! The town has no nightwatch and the
fact that the street lights are put out
at eleven o'clock enabled the crooks
to work in comparative safety. An
automobile was used to haul the loot
away and the tracks show it headed
east from Bagley.
The Guthrie county sheriff is on
the trail of the criminals and may
soon bring them to justice.

Petersen Not Captured BY Germans

Petersen Not Captured by Germans
That the capture of Nikolai Peter
sen in Denmark by German officers
and his punishment for desertion
from the German army four years or
more ago, is a wild rumor, unworthy
of the alarm of the friends of the
former Extra resident, is the conten-
ton of H. p. Petersen, Extra mer-
chant, his former employer.
Nikolai Petersen, who, with his
mother and brothers lived in Schles-
wig Holstein, then under German con.
troll, escaped from a German military
camp to this country about four
years ago. He took position in the
H. p. Petersen general store in Extra,
and also engaged in the real estate
business for himself.
The German military authorities
traced him to his home in Copenha-
gen, intercepted the mail of his
sweetheart in Denmark, and contin-
ued a persistent search to bring
about Nikolai's capture.
About a year after his arrival here
young Petersen sent for his fiance
whom he married on her arrival to
America. His two brothers also
came to this country, securing work
on farms near Elk Horn.
With the return Of Schleswig-Hol-
stein to Denmark in the peace nego-
tiations with Germany, Nikolia, i'm
PEELED by a sense of filial duty to
the mother whom they had left alone,
decided to return to the fatherland
last spring with his wife and baby.
Mr.. II. p. Petersen only a few
weeks ago received letter from his
employee, in which the latter stated
that he was carrying mail in the Dan
ish postal service in his home town,
Hadeslav. The only chance of his
seizure by the Germans, would be
upon his crossing of the German bor-
der line, an unlikely move on Mix
olaPs part, says the Extra merchant.
Mr.. Hans Rasmussen of Atlantic
during her visit in Denmark this
summer, met Nikolai and his family
on a train out of Hadeslav. He ad-
mitted that he eventually expected
to return to America, which had sup
planted his mother country in his
affections.

Bank Robbers Are In Jail

Cleo Moore, 81 and c. r. Brutlett,

Vocated; that they had attacked
milkman who presumed to deliver milk
to new tenant, threatened to throw
the tenant out and had chased away a
man who sought to rent rooms in the
house. Their motive, it was said. was
to prevent the admission of new ten
ants willing to pay higher rents.

Hungarians in
America w ant
HuszarExpelled
Make Appeal to Spanish
Consul in Chicago to
See That Former Premier
Does Not Visit That CITY
Official Here as Envoy
Says That He Will Not Go
Out of New York and
Will Start Home Soon

Protests against the presence in
America of Karl Huszar former Pre-
micr of Hungary, were made public
yesterday by Hungarian societies in
New York and Chicago. Husar ar
rived in New York last week as spe-
cial ambassador to raise funds for
Hungai IAN reconstruction. When he
was questioned here yesterday about
the protests, he announced that he
would not visit any other cities, but
would sail for home within two weeks,
as soop as he can wind up his affairs
here.
A request that Huszar be asked not
to visit Chicago was filed vest rday
with Berthold Singer. Spanish Consul
in that city, by representatives tf the
Hungarian University Club. Hungarian
Self Culture Society, Hungarian Social
and Sick Benefit Society, local branches
of the ungarian- American Federation,
and other organizations The appeal
was addressed to Mr. Singer because
Spain is looking after American inter-
ests in the former Dual Monarchy.
Spokesman for the Chicago Hun
garian societies said they fcas9d there
would be disturbance if NUszar at
tempted to appear there, as my Hun
garians hold him responsible for alleged
1 pogroms and oppression Of Jews in
Hungary.
Not Going to Chic %
al do not intend to vsiS Chicago"
I Huszar said.
THE Chicago Hungarian societies
who have asked that be barred from
their city have taken those steps for
nothing. l intend to return to Hungary
in two weeks after finishing my bust
ness here in relation to relief for Hun
garian prisoners in Siberia"
Among other things, Hungarian Jews
here hold Huszar indirectly responsible
for the death Of thousands of Jews in
Hungary between November, 1919, and
March, 1920, in that he did not prevent
outrages by Hungarian royalists when
he had the official power to do so.
Huszar denied making a statement
attributed to him that $4,000 Jews
would be massacrcd in Hungary if he
were harmed in America. The Fedora
tion of Hungarian Jews here adopted
resolutions urging Huszar's deporta-
tion as an undesirable alien and asked
the Secretary Of State to investigate
Huszar's presence in America
Huszar said he had declared that if
he were harmed in America it probably
would be unpleasant for the Jews in
Hungary.

Gentlemen hiding behind curtains in
bedrooms other than their own have
been known to sneeze before "Scram-
bled Wives" was produced at the Full
ton Theate: last night, but it seemed
to us that Roland Young sncezed ex-
ceptonally we'll. In fact, everything
about the farce was familiar without
being stale. Adelaide Matthews and
Martha M. Stanley have handled the
traditional situations of American farce
deftly, and they profit by the fresh
and lively performance of an excellent
cast.
1t is, Of course, play which depends
upon Misunderstanding The charac-
ters concerned are obliging enough to
delay explanations until the last act,
but it is only fair to say that play
wrights have provided more excuse for
retcence than usual. The hero meets
his divorced wife at q house party un-
expcctcdly. His second wife has al
ways been jealous of her predecessor
and the first wife in turn is in love
with a young man who hates divorce.
Accordingly there is much popping in
and out of doors, with an occasional
dive under the covers Of sofa. No
body, however, hides under a bed, and
there is not so much as a pair of pa
jamas in the piece.
"Scrambled Wives" is deft enough in
construction to steer clear Of violent
horseplay, and some Of the acting has
all the fine shading Of light comedy
The hon0rs of the evening belong to
Roland Young, who manages to be
vastly amusing without stubbing his
toe or humping into furniture. Through
the careful creation OF detail he makes
his role a definite charac acterization.

is amusing, and there also is good work
