ed at national prohibition headuuar-
ters here today.
Prospects of prohibition ticket
being injected into the presidential
campaign loomed here today when ii
was learned that a strong minority

the prohibitionists at their conven-

pends on the selection to be made by
the democrats and republicans, said
l.. D. Fackler, of the "dry's" head
quarters here.
There has been a prohibition tick
ct since 1857" he said. "If the issue
isn't raised by either of the major
parties it is probable we may take
no action"
1t was admitted by prohibitionists
that their convention might select as
its candidates one of the two named
by the republicans and democrats, de-
pending on how much of "dry" he
was.

1,450 900 members" the executive
committees letters to the local unions
said. ''In February, 1920, there were

we have this wonderful progress.
With an increased membership and
the same unity and solidarity what

AN E|MbARGO ON
STOCK SHIPMENTS
STOCK YARDS MEN.


Sioux City, March 30.-Owing to
the fact that large number of the
laborers at the Union stock yards,
Chicago, have entered upon a strike,
an embargo on shipments of live
stock to Chicago has been declared
by the railways. Notice of this em-
barge was officially received by S. A.
Morrison, superintendent of the Sioux
City division of the North Western
railway at 10:30 Saturday night. II
became effective Immediately.
This interruption to railway trans
portation resulted in a congested con-
dition in the Sioux City yards. About
500 carloads of live stock originated
Saturday on the North Westerns
Sioux City division Announcement
of the embargo disarranged the
freight service Saturday and Sunday
on the Sioux City lines.
Two hundred and fifty carloads oi
live stock were delivered at Carroll
Iowa, to the main line of the Chicago
& North Western railway and headed
ioi tiC ShiSa6O iiidl met DClOlC du-
nouncement of the embargo was re-
ceived. This immense quantity o1
stock was halted yesterday in the
eastern part of Iowa.
Another 100 cars of stock intended
for the Chicago market is held on the
tracks of the Sioux City division. Ar
rangements will likely be made to
divert the greater portion of this
stock to the Omaha, Kansas City &
st. Joseph terminal markets if the
embargo is not lifted.
Sunday receipts of live stock from
points to the north on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway were
far below the normal volume. Twen-
ty-five cars were expected to arrive
during the night. Fifteen carloads
were due from the west.
The Chicago strike is not expected
to have any immediate effect upon
the Sioux CITY packing industry.

Capture Grandfather
of Catfish Family

Elk Point, March ga couple of
strangers camping down on the Mis-
souri, river, just south of Burbank,
killed and landed a big catfish, which
was placed in the automobile of Harry
Erickson, who brought it to town and
placed it on a scale and found 1t to
weigh SO pounds.
The fish was placed on exhibition
in Art Stewards garage. where it was
viewed by scores OF people.
The ice held the monster prisoner
in small bayou. The strangers spied
it, struck it a few blows with heavy
club and pulled 1t ashore.
This is the largest specimen of the
kind seen here for long time, al
though some people say they have
seen some of these "cats" that would
make this one appear like a mere
minnow beside them.

Deadwood, March 30.-There were
no new developments today in the
trial of Mr.. and Mrs. George Searle,
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Searles mother, Mrs. Holda Neamy,
whose body was found in the fur
mace of her home in Lead, last De-
cember.
DR.. v. r. Hodges, county coroner,
was still on the stand and in cross
examination testified practically the
same as he did the day before, say
ing he thought the hemorrhage could
not have been caused by heat, but
that blow was struck on the head
of the victim and that the body was
still alive when thrust into the fur
mace, where ii was later found.
The defense won a victory in the
trial when the court ruled against
introduction of the skull of the dead
woman as evidence.
The ruling came after DR.. Hodges
and others had testified concerning
the condition of the skull in an eff
fort of the state to prove that death
was caused by a blow on the head
before the woman's body was placed
in the furnace of the Neamy home al
Lead, where it was found on De-
cember last.
Under the ruling the skull may not
be introduced as evidence, but may
be used for the purpose of drawing
out or proving evidence offered.
