TRYING TO FIND MURDERER
Citizens Of Montgomery County to
Offer Large Purse to Secure Con-
viction of the Guilty Party.

The Villisca ak murder case Is to
be revived again. After nine years
of bitter controversy in and out of
the courts by legal talent, detectives
and interested citizens in wishing to
see justice done and the perpetrat-
ors OF the most horrible crime ever
committed brought to justice, the
murderer is still at large.
The new move now has been en-
tered into by number OF the influ-
entail and able men of Montgomery
county and the proposed plan is to
offer a new reward for the appre-
hension and conviction of the muir
derer. II is said the new reward is
to be not less than $4,000 and with
the amount offered there is little
doubt that the best detectives and
officers in the country will be at
work.
The Villisca ak murder was COM
mitted on June 8, 1912, when Joe
Moore, his wife and four children
and two little Stil1ingerr girls who
were visiting in the Moore home,
were murdered by being hit in the
head with an AK. The crime was a
most heinous one and all efforts to
get the guilty party have been of no
avail, Notwithstanding that several
parties have been before the courts,
alleged to be connected or have
knowledge of the crime.
Many of the controversies growing
out of the trials in the courts in con-
nection with the Villisca ak murder
pro and con amone the residents of
the community. and the men who
are determined thas ethe party or
parties who committed the crime
shall not go unpublished are back Of
this latest move and have sincere
hopes that the notorious Villisca ak
murder will end in the arrest and
conviction of the actual murderer.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

What might have been serious
accident happened on the hill a mile
south of Hamlin last Friday even
ing. Chris Larson, driving a big
Chalmers car, came from the west
and did not see the Chevrolet driven
by Emanuel Hansen, who was head
ed south. Just as Larson came onto
the main road, from the west, the
two cars came together. Mr.. Han
sen was thrown from his car a dis
lance of twelve or more feet, but
fortunately was only slightly injur-
ed. That he was not instantly killed
is miracle. His car was badly de-
molished, the entire front end of the
car being badly broken. The tenders
and the steering wheel on the Chal-
mers were bent, but not 20 such an
extent that the car could not be
brought to town.

RECOVERING FROM OPERATION

Mrs. Allen Biggs returned from
Guthrie Center yesterday, where she
spent week with her husband, who
is at the Harrison hospital recover
ing from an operation for appendi-
citis. There isn't more competent
surgeon in this part of the state
than DR.. ]. w. Harrison. and under
his personal care Mr.. Biggs is re-
covering as well as could be ex-
pected The Harrison hospital is
well equipped. The operation room
has all modern appliances, and with
DR.. Harrison in charge, with a COM
petent corps of trained nurses, the
institution is of inestimable value to
this part of the country. Our only
regret is that Audubon is not as
favorably situated in this respect as
is Guthrie Center.

NATIONAL GUARD UNIT FILLED

Kit G. Lane, who received his
commission from the Adjutant Gen
eral some months ago, informs us
that the National Guard Unit for
Audubon has been completed. The
company is composed of Al men
and one officer. 1t has taken sew
eral months 60 complete the organ
ization, but it is a reality at this
time. The young men who have
signed up have successfully passed
their medical examinations and as
soon as they have been sworn in
the unit will be properly installed.
The old opera house block will be
used as a meeting place. and this
will be put in shape at the earliest
possible moment. 1t is contem-
plated that large armory will be
built later ON to house the unit.

JUST CRITICISM

In Clay county, near Spencer,
there is colony of Audubon county
people, who recently held reunion
in the Methodist church at Spencer
The News-Herald wrote the meeting
up but for some unaccountable rea-
son referred to Audubon county as a
Hell Hole" and 'Lynching" COM
munity. Many years ago Audubon
county had a few hot-heads, who
were more or less lawless, but at
that time most counties had the
same sort of characters, and 1t is Of
poor grace to bark back TO such
times in the early history Of Iowa.
Audubon county stands among the
best of Iowa counties in citizenship
and patriotism and prosperity

ALL PULL TOGETHER

All the residents of a town are
partners, not opponents. In all like
lihood the more business done by
your rival the more you will do.
Every merchant who treats his Gus
toners modestly and fairly will get
his share, and the more business
that can be secured by united effort
the better it will be for all. When
a town ceases to grow II commences
to die, and the more people try to
kill each other off in business and
good name the more rapidly will ut
ter ruin come to all. Stand togeth-
er for the advancement Of every cit
izen.

be attractive, that they be kept
clean, the trees and parking cared
for, the house well painted, the

things is worth while, both for the

improvements for
Fair Grounds Will
Be on Exhibition

J. l.. Wright, the architect who
furnished most Of the blueprints for
the fair grounds improvements and
has been making a study of how to
beautify cities and landscapes, was
in Blackfoot Thursday afternoon
comforting with parties interested in
improving the grounds, to get their
ideas of what should be adopted and
put into the blueprints. Mr.. Wright
is donating his work now, the same
as the other people who are carrying
on the work, and he will try to get
the corrected blueprints ready for
exhibiting at the fair next week.
Mr.. Wright says the work that is
being done at the Blackfoot city
park and fair grounds is having its
effect upon people In other cities and
towns in the valley and people are
taking Blackfoot as an example Of
a spotless town that Is looking into
the future in preparing q city beauti-
full.
Mr.. Wright was very much graft
fed at the work that has been done
on the fair grounds since he saw
them, and he indilged in much smil-
ing as he looked them over and COM
mented on them.

the third climb and after dodginf
rocks and holes went the summit q,
twenty miles an hour.
This is the first car that ever made
the trip in this manner. It started
from the Three A Garage and
travelled from town to the foot of til
first hill in high gear. Here the
gears were shifted into intermediate
and the car started on the climb.
There was no fresh water put into

for the car never stopped, but car
ried the five passengers thru to the

It had been said that Mr.. Jenkins

Harding and Cabinet Discuss the
Question of Foreign Indebted
ness at Meeting.
CALLED VALUED ASSET
Proposals to Cancel Huge War Obliga-
tions VIII Be Rejected-May con-
vert Loans Into Long
Term Issues.

Washington-Th United States gov
ernlnenl will insist that the powers as
ISOLATED with it in the war with Ger
many repay, principal and interest,
their Indebtedness of more than $1O.-
000000,000 to this country.
President Harding and his cabinet
discussed the whole question OF for
eign indebtedness at their meeting and
the President disclosed, after the con-
ference, that the policy of his admins
tration is to regard the foreign loans
as a valued asset" which ultimately
must be repaid by the debtor nations.
This is the first prOnOuncement Of
the Harding administration on the
question of the Allied indebtedness.
t refutes permanently all reports 70
the effect that the new administration
might agree to cancellation.
Loans In Detail.
The loans of the United States to
foreign governments. exclusive OF in
terest, which has not been paid, total
$9,450, 100000, divided as follows:
United Kingdom, $4,210.000,O 900;
France, $2,75O,OOO,O0O Italy, $685.
100000; Russia, $19O,OO0,000; Belgium,
$4O0,O00,000: Serbia and JugQ-Slavia,
$100,OO0,O00; other Allies, $175,0O0,-
900.
Accrued interest on these loans al
ready amounts to over $1,000,000,00
which brings the total Of Allied in
debtedness to date up to $10,500,000,'
900. No payments Of interest have
been received by the United States
from any debtor government except
where they had borrowed more from
this government for that purpose.
The Treasury department, during
the Wilson administration and with the
approval of Congress, agreed to the
deferment of interest on these debts
for three years, ending in 1928. In
other words, payments of interest on
the debts in all probability will not be-
gin for over two years, by which time
another ,00O,000,000 in interest pay
ments will have accrued.
AS yet the Harding administration
has gone no further than taking the
firm and final stand that the Allied
debt must be paid. Just how it is to
be done will be matter for consider
able negotiations with the govern
ments Involved.

So far as Mr. AnderSon's character,
qualification and ability as an inSpec-

pass him. He has at all times been
careful, thorough and kindly i'll his
visits to our schools. Only once, the

titled to receive state aid, and the tax

those in good positions where they do
not have to worry about their income,
are too free to propose higher salaries
for others. and do not seem to sympa-

Perhaps Mr.. Anderson found a
teacher i'm our school who was well
worth a higher salary than she was re-
ceiving, but I think it would have been
Il nicer way to have done to have told
her he. Mr.. Anderson. would help her
to a good position next year.

good a school inspector as can be found
and that he is always ready to give
the best of advice and help whenever
he is asked.
