PETE CHRISTENSEN SUED

Three SUITS were filed in the dis
trict court of Cass county in Atlantic
yesterday, demanding judgments ag-
gregatings $16,875, against Honest
Pete" Christensen by three pur-
chasers of stock of the Common
wealth Mortgage Bond company, of
Des Moines. The parties allege the
stock was falsely and fraudulently
represented TO them. The men are
George p. Fish and d. p. Decker,
of Atlantic, and Ebbe j. Hansen, of
Harlan.
Mr.. Christensen is we'll known
here, having lived in the county for
many years before going to Atlantic.
He was interested last year in SELL
ing this stock in the company which
later went onto the rocks. Several
people around AUDUBON purchased
stock in the company through the
efforts of Mr.. Christensen.
The company began erecting a
large office building in Des Moines
early last year, but on account Of
the depressing times, they were COM
PEELED to abandon the project. Many
rumors are afloat concerning the
company's financial condition, but it
is hoped that when times become
normal again, they will proceed to
go on with their business.

BANDIT is RECOGNIZED
Man Believed to Have Been One of

in Guthrie Center Jail

Whether it can be proven that
John Waters. held in jail at Guthrie
Center, was one of the five bandits
who recently robbed the First
National bank at Stuart and killed
j. X. Meyers, night Waterman. rests
largely on the testimony Of a farm
er, named Jungman, living near

titles in Waters one or several men
in an automobile who stopped at his
farm for water on the morning OF
the robbery and killing.

WILL SPEAK IN AUDUBON
Post Commander Who issued Mem
orial Proclamation to Speak
Here That Day.

Commander Hanford McNider, of
the Iowa Department, American Le-
gion, has issued the following Mem
orial Day proclamation TO Legion
members in this state:
"Legionaires of Iowa! No more
splendid heritage could come to us
than the privilege of carrying on the
reverent observance Of Memorial
Day, handed down to us by those
wonderful old veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic and our older
brothers, the Volunteers of 1898.
That ever-thinning blue column par
aiding each year to do homage to
their departed comrades has done
more to keep awake in every Ameri-
can breast the realization of the
duty of American citizenship than
Iany other custom of the last half
century.
"The spirit of the day has been
better expressed than you, old timer,
or I, or any man can ever express it.
(Here the commander quotes Lin
coins Gettysburg address
Let us take that tribute for our
own buddies who did not come back.
for our own buddies who, wounded
or broken in health, must live the
war forever. For it was meant for
every American who stood forth
when his country and his flag need
ed him. And if we forget, We can
not expect our community to re-
member.
"Put on the old uniform-remind
them OF OUR DEAD, OUR DIS
ABLED-that there was a war, and
that there were men and women
willing to die for our country. If
you expect Justice to those whose
memory w@ honor, Justice for those
who came back, SHOW UP WITH
YOUR POST.
Let's not forget, for IL we forget,
all America will forget; put on the
old uniform; lets give all honor
and respect that Hes within our
power-our small tribute to our
glorious dead"
Mr.. Member is to be the speaker
at the Memorial Day exercises in
Audubon this year. The local post
secured his promise early in the
spring. 1t will be~a distinct pleas
ure to have the state commander in
our midst.
