GREEN-EYED MONSTER
ENTERS LOVERS HEART
Otto Larson Is Alleged to Have
Shot Young Lady In
The Arm
[Special To The Free Press. ]

Albert Lea, April 26.-Extreme
jealousy on the part of Otto Larson of
Kasson, Mimi, contractor, who has
been working in Albert Lea for the
past two months, led him to shoot
Miss Agnes Rooney last evening
about eight o'clock.
Miss Rooney, who is the adopted
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry An
derson of Northwood, Iowa, is making
her home at the home of Ben Salin-
sky. Mr.. Salinsky is the proprietor
of the New York Fashion shop here.
Since coming to this city Mr.. Larson
has been paying attention to Miss
Rooney, who it is said has another
lover somewhere near her home in
Northwood, and who also has been
coming to Albert Lea to pay her court.
Larson is said to have become so in
tensely jealous of her that on several
different days he bad written notes to
her, telling her to leave Albert Lea
or he would kill her. y
Last night he came to the Salinsky
home about the time stated. AS he
was nearing the house Miss Rooney
saw him and ran out the back door
and into the back yard, where she
OFSI anu I6ll.
While she was lying on the ground
Larson came up to her and is alleg-
ed to have shot her, the bullet enter
ing her right arm.
Thought He Had Killed Her.
With the thought he had killed her
he started on run, running down the
boulevard and disappearing before the
alarm could be sounded to apprehend
him. About an hour later Chief of
Police Carey and three patrolmen, &C
companied by Sheriff Fosse and his
deputy captured him in the Hotel AL
bert. He is now in the county Jail.
The following are copies of the
notes Larson is said to have sent to
Miss Rooney:
Thursday: Keep this under your
hat or look out / have gone the linn
1t. Leave and if you don't we die to-
gether."
Friday: 81 mean this for you. For
your own good. Leave on passenger
No. 6 tomorrow. Look out"
Saturday: Leave tomorrow before
500. Will get you. You can't make
damn fool of me. You have lied and
have made fool of me-"
These were sent on Thursday. Fri
day and Saturday of last week. Each
time he had entered the house some
way and left the notes on Miss Room
ey's bed.
Larson refuses to say anything
about the shooting

GERMAN GOLD TRANSFER
NOTE TO ALLIES TODAY
REPLIES TO DEMAND
Agrees Not To Exports Any of
Metal Before October
First, Next
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

ASSOclaIed PreSS DlSpaLcn.I
Paris, April 23.-Germany. instead
of either agreeing or refusing to trans
fer the gold reserve of the Reichsbank
to occupied territory in the Rhineland
as the allied reparations commission
had demanded, has offered to agree
not to export or permit the exporta-
ton of gold from Germany before Oc-
tober I, next.
Germanys note in reply to the re-
parations commission, delivered to the
commission today, in which this Of
fer Is rendered, says her pro- offered
agreement would adequately protect
the allies, who had demanded the
transfer because thu second paragraph
Of article 248 of the treaty of Yer
sailles, prohibiting the expectation of
gold, becomes imperative May /.
The second paragraph Of article 248
OF the peace treaty reads: Up to May
1, 1921, the German government shall
not export or dispose of, and shall
forbid the export or disposal of gold
without the previous approval Of the
allied and associated powers acting
This proviso was intended to pre-
vent Germany from disposing Of any
of her gold holdings prior to final set
Element Of the amount and methods Of
her reparations payments.
The note was signed by DR.. Won
Oertzen, for the war burdens COM
mission. 1t pointed out that the re-
moval Of the reischbank gold would
act to further depreciate German
exchange, and furthermore that the
gold reserve was, not directly under
control of fhe ministry If Ifinanco.
but was private property. -
The transfer, the note contended,
would not serve as q, guarantee for
PREPARATIONS payments, as the COM
mission seemed to think, as the de-
probation In exchange growing out
Of 1t would result in a general econo-
mic weakening of Germany.

WHEAT PRODUCTION DATA
North Dakota Farm Bureau To Com
pile Statistics


ASSOCIATED Press. Dispatch
Fargo. N. D., April 22.-The North
Dakota Farm Bureau Federation and
agricultural authorities will CO. op-
crate in compiling more accurate
data on wheat production cost than
are now available. Definite plans for
this work will be made at a meeting
of the federation's executive state
committee, soon to be held, accord
Ing to II. B. Fuller, state secretary.
Farm authorities, both of the col
lege and of the federation, agree
that farming under present condi
lions, must be on q more business
like basis than 1t has been heretofore.
Farmers must know which line of &C
tivity brings in money and which
causes losses, they say. The cam
paign to establish the cost of produce
ing wheat is in line with this doc
trine.
In general. farm authorities in the
state are working for greater diver
mora ara Of e sroos a asy oege that
more livestock) and more cultivated
crops should be raised. Corn. sun
flowers, potatoes, alfalfa and sweet
clover are among the crops they ad-
vocate. Dairying is another line of
activity endorsed
improved soil through crop rota-
ton and through the keeping Of live
stock on the farm is not the only ad-
vantage to be secured by diversified
farming, these authorities say. They
point out that while the farmer who
raises wheat only is extremely busy
at certain periods of the year, there
is apt to be shortage OF work for
him and for his horses during other
periods. A variety of pursuits would
distribute the work throughout the
year, they say.
