traveller carried leather suitcase, and
tho officers sirpicions were at once
aroused. He rushed around the block

A shadow of gloom was spread over
the community when it was learned
last Saturday evening that Raymond
Wilson had passed away at the Wilson
ranch home just south of Glenwood.
Raymond had suffered an attack of in
fluenza about ten days before this,
and while it appeared for d time that
he was improving, pneumonia set in
and all efforts to save his life were
without avail.
Raymond Wilson was born and rear,
ed in Glenwo0d and was almost 81
years of age at the time of his death.
He was an honorable and industrious
young man and in his demise the COM
munity has sustained severe loss,
while Of course to his father and his
young wife and baby the loss is be
yond any earthly measure of express
sion.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Tuesday afternoon by Father Car
figan at the Catholic church, interment
being in Glenwood cemetery beside his
mother whose death occurred many
years ago.

RIGHT TO
STRIKE DENIED
Farm Organizations Question
Right to Staive City Folks
or Destroy Farm Values
CLAIM IDEAS uNSouND

Washington, Feb. 11.-Denial that
any group of organized labor possesses
an inherent right to strike is contained
in memorial to congress, formulat-
ed today at the conference here of rep
resentatives of our large farmers or
CARNATIONS, the National Grande, the
American Farm Bureau. Federation,
the Cotton States Board, and the As
ISOLATION of State Farmers Union
Presidents.
In view of "recent events and hap
penings,'' representatives of the four
organizations said, it was agreed that
the attitude of the farmer membership
of their associations on the right to
strike should be made plain to congress
and to the country.
Pointing out that the city population
of the country is dependent on the
farmer for food and that interruption
of this supply can be brought about
through strikes of railroad or other
transportation unions, the memorial as
serts.
'Thsse who believe that labor has
an inherent right to organize strike
believe that such organizations have =
right to starve the people of the cities
to death on the one hand, and to do
stroy the property of the farmers ON
the other. No such right has ever ex-
listed and no such right exists now. It
is economically unsound and the Ameri-
can people can and will work out some
other method for the settlement Of such
controversies. No set of men has ever
had the moral or legal right to destroy
property or cause suffering by conspir-
ing together and the welfare of the
people must ever remain superior to
that of any class or group of people.

pened, and declaring there must sure
ly be still somewhere on the Stone
ranch on Three Mile creek. Fravert
ordered team and sleigh and hs and
J. D. Phillips started at once for the
Stone ranch, arriving there just about
daylight, and while Matt Stone, the
only occupant of the ranch, was yet
in bed.
In a loft the officers found some
more "white mule' and some mash
made Of raisins and corn meal, and
after considerable search, while ex-
aiming dog house, they found that
the house contained partition, on
the one side of which was n dog,
while on the other side was discovered
the object of their search-a galvaniz-
ed tank, to which was attached q worm
composed of block tin. The parapher-
MALTA, the product, and the alleged
owner were all brought to Glenwool
and Stone was given quarters in the
county Jail. q.
Wednesday, George Stone was given
a hearing before Police Magistrate
Cardnell, on a charge Of having intox-
icating liquor in his possession. He
pleaded guilty and, perhaps because
he told such an ingenious and at III.
same time ridiculous story as to how
he came in possession of the jug and
its contents, Magistrate Cardnell gave
him less than the maximum fine, or
$50 and costs, George said he would
pay the fine, and afterwards gave the
city authorities an order for pair of
ranch horses. At the time of spring
ing his ingenious story on Judge Card
nell, George did not know that his
brother was in the county jail.
As soon as George secured tho city,
he was released, but was at once ar
rested by Sheriff Fravert on a state
charge. Fravert now has the twu
brothers in the county jill and will
probably turn them over to federal Of
