Kiernan fired at them and believes he
hit one of them. The other man tried to

Victor Prucha told the police he was
working in the store, with his brother
Leo helping him. when the three men
came in and pointed revolvers at them.
They robbed the cash register Of be-

Prucha he must open the safe. Prucha,
however. said he was so badly frightened
he forgot the combination and failed
to recall It even when one of the bandits
pricked him In the back of the neck

bandits got down with him behind the

kets mas been curtailed more than so

cOrding to dealers who appeared before
the interstate Commerce Commission
In hearings on hay and grain freight
rates. Because hay is cheap COM
modify and moves longer distances
than other products, the traffic has
suffered more than others, witnesses
said, and thousands of acres of prairie
hay In the West will not be cut this
year.
u. B. Tilson, traffic expert of the
Kansas City hay exchange, said hay
raised in the Imperial valley of Cali
fornia could be transported by water
through the Panama canal to New
York for $12.75 ton against a freight
charge by rail from Kansas City to
New York amounting to $3.50.
N. c. Campbell, president of the
Kansas City Hay Dealers Association,
testified that before the increase in
rates last year Kansas City, said to be
the largest hay market in the world,
handled 10000 cars of hay a season,
much Of which went to the South and
Southeast, to feed stock used In pro-
ducing cotton, sugar and other farm
products. With the increase in rates
the Kansas City market tonnage was
reduced by half, he said, farmers be-
ing unable to use hay costing $50 ton
as stock feed.
James T. Suite of the transporta-
ton department of the Omaha ex-
change, told Of conditions In Nebraska

Quantities of hay Will not be cut
