three notes which Jones gave in
payment for stock in the failed
Farmers Mortgage Co., of Council
Bluffs. Arnd alleges he had come
into possession of the notes as an
innocent purchaser. He further
claimed that when the notes became
due, Jones made settlement by pay
ing the accrued interest and making
new notes covering the principal OF
the original notes. This allegation
Jones did not deny, but claimed he
should be relieved from the pay
ment OF the notes because OF the
fact that they had been procured
through fraud by the stock sales
man of the defunct Farmers Mort
gage company, and that the COM
pany was blue-sky proposition.
A case involving the same points
brought by the Farmers and Mer-
chants Savings bank, of Harlan,
against Jones is on the docket and
will probably be called for trial on
Saturday morning.

Big Store Robbed

What is believed TO be another Of
the series of wholesale robberies
which have been committed all over
the state during the past few weeks,
in which the thieves have been in
the habit OF driving up to stores in
the dead of night and making a
quick cleanout OF the most valuable
goods, occurred Friday night in
Massena.
The general store belonging to c..
b. Parkinson & Son was rifled Fri
day night by robbers, who gained
entrance by removing the storm
window and sash of the inner win
dow in the basement of the building.
The daring of the robbers, who evil
IDENTIFY used high powered auto
mobile in their work, is shown by
the fact that they doubtless drove
up to the front door, for 1t was
standing open when the theft was
discovered.
The exact amount of the loss in
groceries and dry goods had not been
ascertained. The Alva Thomas pack
OF bloodhounds was brought from
Creston in the effort to trace the
thieves. After following the trail a
short way south down Maine street,
the dogs lost the scent. Police
along the route presumably taken by
the thieves have been notified of
the robbery.

Mother ForriHes Daughter

A genuine spirit of forgivness and
generosity has been brought to light
through a supreme court decision
reversing the verdict of the lower
court in the case OF X. P. Arends
against her mother, Folka Frerichs.
The family is well known in Grun-
dy county, where they own consid-
cradle land.
The legal battle has been in
progress for eight years, involving
240 acres of land and $4,000 in
money. The daughter claimed she
inherited the properly from her
father and the lower court upheld
her contention. A new trial was
granted and the case had been
previously reviewed by the supreme
court.
The supreme court reversed the
decision of the lower court in the
latest decision and decided the
property belonged to the mother.
Since the trial was started Mrs.
Frerichs has died. In her will,
drawn since the litigation was start
ed. the mother stipulated that should
Mrs. Arends win the controversy she
nor her children were to receive any
further share of the estate. But in
the event that the suit was decided
in favor of the mother, the daugh-
ter was to receive one-fourth share
of the estate, the same as the other
children.
During the litigation the attorn-
eys for the daughter attacked the
character of the mother, but despite
this fact the mother showed her
willingness to forget the attacks and
bequeathed the daughter who had
caused her the trouble the same
share as the three who had remain
ed faithful to her.

TO HELP THE STARVING

Huddled together in the refugee
camps of the Near East Relief in
Armenia, the remnants of faithful
nation await food from the Ameri-
can people. If grain and other food
arrives before spring they will have
another opportunity to raise crops.
II the food does not arrive, there
will be no spring for them-they
will starve.
This was the word received in Des
Moines by C. A. Montanus, state d.
rector for the Near East Relief.
The Near East Relief has issued
an appeal to Iowa farmers signed
and sponsored for by Gov. N. Z.
Kendall, for donations, of grain for
the starving country. County and
township committees have been APP
pointed by the Near East Relief in
the large growing communities of
the state.
Farmers having surplus Of grain
they desire to donate to the Near
East. Relief for Armenia should COM
municate with their county or town
ship chairman. In case no commit
tee has been organized in that par
ticular community, farmers may de-
liver grain to the nearest elevator
and receive duplicate receipt.
This receipt should be forwarded
Immediately to G. A. Montanus, state
director for the Near East Relief,
sci Securities Building, Des Moines,
or to Governor N. e. Kendall, chair
man Of the special grain committee
of the Near East Relief.

MATTERS OF GENERAL IN
TEREsT FROM ALL OVER
THE STATE.

Man Inherited Thievery

ia. Gregory, horse-thief and
general bad man, who has been in
the penitentiary longer than he ever
was out, and has now served five
years of the last ten-year sentence
imposed on him by a Council Bluffs
court, was a hereditary law breaker,
according to stories told by his
mother on her death bed some time
ago.
The man is known in Iowa and
surrounding states as the most in
corrigible horse-thief ever captured.
His mother says that her boy had
horse-thieving ingrained into his ma
ture even before he was born, be-
cause valuable stallion was stolen
from their home farm three months
before the birth of her child.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1921-10-27

At that time the father was called
to fight in the civil war. Shortly
before he entered the service he had
mortgaged the small farm in order
to buy the stallion. After the horse
was stolen Mrs. Gregory worried
herself into state of nervous pros
tration and she blamed that for the
sons horse-thieving proclivities,
which commenced when he was still
in bis teens.
