EXTRA FARMER
COMMITS SUICIDE
FOUND HANGING TO BEDPOST IN
BEDROOM AFTER SEVERAL
HOURS ABSENCE

Jacob Wahlert, one of the pros
porous farmers of Audubon county,
was found dead in his bedroom at
about noon Tuesday. Mr.. Wahlert
was making his home with a daugh-
ter, Mrs. VIM. Porter a mile south of
Extra. He ate breakfast as usual
Tuesday, after which he retired to
his room. 1t had been his custom
to smoke in his room after each
meal. When he failed to appear at
noon his daughter thought her faith
er had gone to town.
Mr.. Porter thought he would go
to Wahlert's room to see if he was
there. On reaching the door he
found ii locked. This was unusual
and aroused his suspicious. He Sc
cured ladder and climbed to the
window. He was Mortified to see the
body of Mr.. Wahlert hanging to the
bedpost, his body partly resting on
the bed.
He summoned a physician at once
who upon examining the body, found
that the man had been dead several
hours, death being due to strangu-
lation. Wahlert had used a three
foot rope to tie about his neck and
the bedpost.
County Coroner McFadden and
Sheriff Jorgensen were called about
one o'clock They at once commun-
icated with DR.. Jacobsen, who upon
examination, pronounced Wahlert
dead, and said he thought he had
been dead about eight hours. 1t was
decided to hold coroner's inquest,
thereupon B. F. Jensen, C. o. Hunt
and C. G. Christensen were called to
act as the coroner's jury. After
hearing all the evidence obtainable
the jury deturned a verdict that
1.-The deceased came to his death by
his own hand"
, No direct reason is assigned for
his rash act. II is thought, however,
that i'll health and dependency over
the loss of his wife caused him to
take the step he did.
Mr.. Wahlert was about rs years
of age. He leaves three sons and
three daughters, as follows: Jacob,
Jr, and Edward j., of Extra; Fred,
of South Dakota; Mrs. Polly Little
field, Mrs. Howard Shoesmith and
Mrs. William Porter, all of whom
reside in the immediate vicinity.

OPENING GAME SUNDAY
Audubon Loses Fast Game After
Taking a Strong Lead in First
Game of the Season.

The Audubon baseball nine, &C
companied by a large aggregation of
fans, journeyed to Elk Horn last
Sunday afternoon, where they play
ed the Elk Horn team.
Audubon succeeded in making
one score in the first inning, but
that was all until the fifth inning,
when another score was made. Then
in the seventh Audubon piled up two
more runs, while Elk Horn had been
able to get but one man across the
home plate.
Matters went along nicely until
in the eighth inning, when a change
in players was made. The Audubon
team was unlucky, as three costly
errors followed in close succession.
The boys were unable to pull them
selves together until after Elk Horn
had made five runs. Audubon was
unable to make another score in the
first half of the ninth, so lost the
game to Elk Horn by a score of 5
to 6.
The strong wind played havoc
with the players, and of course 1t
was none to pleasant for the fans,
as the park was on high hill and
there was no protection from the
wind.
Audubon had hoped to be able
to win, and would haven won but for
a little bad luck. Mullenberg prov
ed strong man in the box, and his
work compared very favorably with
that Of Jorgensen, who is classed as
a professional.
Following is the box score and the

FARMERS LIVESTOCK AGENCY

While the receipts of live stock at
the Chicago market showed an in
crease of slightly over one per cent
for the three months ending March
31st, 1921, as compared to the same
period last year, the Equity Coop
erative Exchange, a selling agency
owned and controlled by over $1,000
farmers of the Northwest, handled
a little more than SO per cent more
cars of five stock during the same
three months of 1921 as compared
to 1920 on the same market.
The fact that the business of the
farmers organization showed a
healthy increase while the general
receipts of the entire yards increas-
ed very slightly, shows that farmers
are beginning to appreciate the val
ne of cooperative livestock market
ing. The organization of cooper
alive livestock shipping associations
has proven a decided improvement
over the old method of selling to the
local buyer; and just so, the ham
ding of live stock on the terminal
market is proving to be a more eco
nomical and more efficient method
of selling live stock to packers, east
ern order buyers and feeders, and OF
purchasing stock and feeder ami
mails.

MAY BE PENSION FRAUD
Dallas Center Man Drew Large Sums
of Money Following Death
of Rrother

John A. Surber died at Dallas
Center a few weeks ago. 1t is now al
legged that for fifteen years he drew
his dead brothers pension from the
United States government.
His widow, searching his papers,
failed to find any insurance policy
which would entitle him to draw GER
tain large sums every three months.
For fifteen years he had been go
ing to Perry every three months and
returning with large sum IN cur
rency which he told her was 'insur-
ance money"
Desiring to get into communica-
tion with the insurance company she
advertised for its name, and got A..
X. Jewell of Perry and others to un-
dertake an Investigation.
They believe that they have I'M
earthed the largest pension fraud
perpetrated in Iowa in quarter of a
century, and that Surber was the
beneficiary to the extent Aof $4,000
to $1,000.
Suspicion was aroused first when
Postmaster H. A. Nash found it nee
essary in February to return to the
department of the interior the PEN
sion voucher which had come every
three months for fifteen years to
Isaac B. Surber.
Search for Isaac B. Surber dis
closed that man of that name had
died near Wintsrset or Indianola in
1906.
His brother, John A. Surber, lived
at Dallas Center, but he died early
this year, aged Ga. His brother, Is
aac, If living, would be IA years of
age.
The belief now is that the young
err brother obtained his relatives
pension papers when the older man
died, ordered the pension vouchers
mailed to him at Perry, presented
his brothers papers there and there
after drew the pensions, which at
the time of his death, amounted to
$50 per month.

/. 0. 0. F. CELEBRATE
lO2ND ANNIVERSARY
PAST GRAND MASTER RODGERS,
OF AMES, DELIVERED MAIN
ADDRESS OF EVENING.

The Odd Fellows of Audubon cell
ebrated the 102nd anniversary of
the Order in a fitting manner at
their hall last evening. F. F. Rod
gers, of Ames, Past Grand Master
OF the Order, was secured to make
the address of the evening.
The members of the Order and
their families were invited to join
in the celebration. A large crowd
gathered, regardless of the threat
ening weather, but many residing at
distance were not able to attend.
The program should have been held
on Tuesday evening but on account
of unforeseen circumstances it was
postponed until last night.
Mr.. Rodgers, who was Grand Mas
ter of the Order last year, gave a
splendid address. He spoke of the
Order and the principles for which
it stood, and pointed to the out
standing features that commended it
to all who revere home and loved
ones.
During Mr.. Rodgers administra-
tion the Order had the largest in
crease in membership in a single
year since its organization. He gave
practically all of his time to visiting
the lodges of the state. The Audu-
bon lodge has a membership of
about 1875, and is in a flourishing
lot of statistics, the speaker confined
himself to the constructive work of
the Order and the good it had al
ready accomplished,
The Audubon lodge was signally
honored last night from the fact
that another past grand master was
present the person of Rev. w. S.
Right, of Des Moines. Mr. Right
spoke at similar meeting at Gray
Tuesday evening, and learning Of
the meeting in Audubon last night,
remained to visit the lodge. Rev.
Right had never visited the local
lodge and took this opportunity Of
meeting the brothers here.
He was prevailed upon to make a
short address. He is a fluent and
eloquent speaker and those present
were delighted with his message.
H. ]. Hoogenakker presided at the
meeting and introduced the speak
ers. After enjoying several musical
selections, refreshments were served.
Several new candidates have been
initiated into the Order during the
past two months and others are on
the waiting list Inspired by the
splendid talks given last night, the
members are determined to put
forth renewed efforts to increase the
membership before the hot weather
sets in. The lodge has comfortable
quarters and meets in their hall on
Monday evening of each week.
