HILL TOWNS OF ITALY
Invasion Of Modern Mechanical Con.
trivances 10 Threatened

lASSOCldISu rTcbb DiSpdlCu.I
Rome, June 30.-Hill towns of Italy
which dot the landscape from north
to south and have been the subject Of
writer's and printers for centuries are
threatened with an invasion of mod
ern mechanical contrivances which
will rob them of their aged romace
and unspoiled picturesqueness.
The hill towns are relics of the old
feudal system. The lord Of the man
or built his castle upon a mill and
the whole of his vassals clustered
their habitations about him. The
position on almost inaccessible
heights was sought for safety from
invading neighbors. The towns dot
ting the hills stand today almost un-
touched by the centuries. The walls
Of the houses are thick and strong.
Food has been hauled up to the hills
by hand labor and horses since they
were built Women carried on their
heads the water and other household
necessities.
The plan now Is to build Alpine
railways from the plains to the hills
as labor saving devices. The perfect
Alpine cable lines which the Italian
army built over the Alps during the
war are being sought for the work.
Already q number of the towns have
applied to the ministry for the dis
carded Alpine cables so that they
can be erected for the towns.

He Relates His Side of the
Gorgle Deal
CLAIMS IT'S ON SQUARE
Denies Any Attempt to Make
Judson Man Goat In
Transaction

NJ. L. Van Slyke Of the Van Slyke
Land company OF this city speaking
to The Free Press this morning said
that he wished to make statement
in regard to the dealings OF the
company with Ed Gorgle, arrested
on the charge of sending members or
the firm threatening letters. Mr..
Van Slyke stated that Mr.. Gorgle has
not been wronged by any one in the
transaction, and asks any one in
| terested to investigate as to the
truthfulness OF the statement. Mr..
follows:
During the summer of 1920, Mr..
Gorgle came to our office listing for
sale a 160 acre farm near Judson,
saying he had also listed the farm
with every land agent in Mankato
and the lucky man would receive S.
per acre to find him a buyer. He
stated the incumbrance was about
$4,000. However, we promised to
help him if possible, and after ad-
vertising the farm in several Iowa
change from Mr.. Ed. D. Palmer of
Fairmont, Mimi. Mr.. Palmer to re-
ceive sos per acre and to pay $155
for the Gorgle farm, $4,000, to be paid
cash. This deal failed when Mr.
Palmer was unable to raise the
money as expected.
During this time, on examination
of the record, we found Mr.. Gorgle
had already sold his farm on May
IA. 1920. to the former owner, one
A. Holm of La Sale, ILL.,, but had a
right to redeem within six months by
paying all claims / against the. farm
In cash which we found were 5000
instead of $4,000.
Were Making Loan, He Claims.
We were making a loan for $11 900
on the farm from George w. Wish
ard Loan company, of Minneapolis,
and with the time for redemption
about expired. we persuaded Mr..
Wishard to send an attorney to Man
kato on November II to assist us in
closing the deal and getting the title
clear. We were still $4,000 short in
having money enough to pay out all
claims against the farm, and at this
time my brother came to Mankato
at my earnest request to assist me in
closing this deal. All claims were
paid at the First National bank dur
ing the evening OF November IL,
1920.
In making the exchange, Mr..
Palmer stated, he had piad SOS per
had never seen it and did not know
what it was worth, nor did anyone
at any time place a value on the
North Dakota land. 1t was a case of
deal at once or all was lost. My
brother and loaned Mr.. Palmer over
$4,000 and will gladly turn over our
claim for the return of the actual
cab expended. j was promised a
commission of $500 but have not re-
ceived a cent except some labor
done for me by Mr.. Gorgle during
July and August, 1920.
Mr.. Palmer was here Tuesday
and he offered to turn the farm over
to Gorgle again without a dollar
cash, by giving him contract for
deed subject to the amount of money
that had been paid in the deal. We
| will let our claims remain as at pres
ent. From the claim as above stated,
Mr.. Gorgle has received $500 in cash,
holds a $1100 note secured on the
Judson farm, and can have the equity
in the N. D., land which / believe
to be at least $780,

Kenmare. N. D., June 30.-Ken-
mares aspirations to become a coun-
ty seat have famed anew and an
effort Is being made to initiate law
at the recall election, creating Lake
County. The new county would en-
brace Burke, most Of Renville, and
part of War counties, leaving Ken
mare centrally situated and, there
fore the logical seat for the admins
trationt of county affairs.
In exchange for the townships TAX
en- from War for this new division,
Ward would receive townships from
Renville. This would renew a strong
fight made in 1919 when Ward coun-
ty with 154 townships was divided
into Divide, Renville, Mountail, and
Ward counties. Kenmare then had
a Lake County" scheme which fail
ed. Lake County" as planned would
be larer than Ward, and Is likely to
be opposed by Ward citizens.
