Claim, Is That Mrs.
Roberts Was Naughty
Alleged Fairmont Lady Was
Too Well Acquainted With
Mankato Resident

Fairmont, July 26.-The Sentinel
publishes the following sensational
story: 1.-THE affidavits upon which
q rehearing Of the Roberts divorce
case will be asked of Judge Dean
tomorrow were fled today with
Clerk Flygare by Haycraft E. Nc
Cune, attorneys for Mrs. Roberts.
They are very sensational.
I'm asking for the reopening of
the case Mr.. Haycraft recites that
the divorce case was heard on July
3 and at taat time neither he nor
Professor Roberts, his client, had
knowledge of the evidence that can
be introduced by the testimony of a
Mankato professional accountant
and his wife.
Mr.. Haycraft's affidavit states
Tat on July IL he was eating din
per at the Constans house with
Chris Carlson, Blue Earth attorney,
and they were discussing the Rob-
erts case. A stranger at the same
table overheard the conversation
and volunteered the information
that ie knew a good deal about
questionable conduct on the part of
Mrs. Roberts. He proved to be a
ManKatO accountant AS a result OIL
this chance meeting the situation
developed which MIR. Haycraft be-
lieves warrants a reopening Of the
case and that the decree Of divorce
should be given Mr.. Roberts.
The affidavits of the Mankato
people allege the most fragrant mis-
conduct between Mrs. Roberts and
one r. e. Pegg, former employe
of the accountant. The specific acts
of misconduct are alleged to have
taken place at the Fairmont hotel
in this city last March and April
and at the home of the accountant
in Mankato the night of June 8,
1922. AS a result OF the latter cpl
scde Mrs. Roberts was elected from
the room she had rented in the &C
countants home and Pegg was dis
charged from his employ, so it is
alleged.
THE affidavit of a second Man
kato woman confirms the intimacy
alleged between Pegg and Mrs. Rob-
ertS.
The accountants wife also as
serts that while Mrs. Roberts was
her guest Mrs. Roberts sat on tie
front porch and smoked cigarets."

AUTO BANDIT GANG
MADE $4S,OOOHAUL
SOUTH DAKOTA BANK ROB-
BED THIS MORNING
BLEW THE SAFE OPEN
Wrecked Entire Building and
Safely Made Their Get
away From Town
LAssociated Press pispatch.l

Harold, s. D.. July 2s.-The
sheriff Of Hand county with a posse
is conducting search through this
territory this morning for a band OF
five automobile bandits who blew
the safe in the State Bank Of Hol-
abird, near here, about three O'Clock
this morning and made away with
$40, 900 5000 in cash and $4,000 in
negotiable paper.
Residents Of the town were
awakened by the terrific explosion,
but were kept from investigating by
guards posted by the bandits out
side the bank building. The safe
and building were badly wrecked
by the blast. After leislnely pack
ing the money in bags, the robbers,
left the bank building, rushed TO a
waiting automobile and left the
town, heading south, presumably
toward Mitchell The astonished
townsfolk were taken so by sur
prise, that not shot was fired at
the fleeing bandits.
Another Report Robbery
Holabird, S. D., July 26.-whle
several citizens loked on, five armed
bandits drove up to the Holabird
State bank here at a. mr. today,
forced entrance to the building, dy-
namited the safe and escaped with
$500 in cash and nearly $4,000 In
notes, bonds and mortgages.
The telegraph and telephone wires
into this town had been cut before
the bandits appeared and it took
some time to send a general alarm
over this section.
In quitting the town the ensdrove
east avoiding Highmore and Miller
and striking south toward Cam
Valley and Highmore took up the
chase in automobiles
So heavy was the charge used by
the bandits in opening the safe that
one story of the bank building was
partly wrecked by the explosion.

Washington, July 26-While the
administration continued to await
results of the attempt to operate
strike affected mines at the same
time combining its policy in the rail
or board as the only authorized ag-
ency to deal with it, the interstate
commerce commission put into Ell
feet today transportation routing
and priority orders as the basis for
the program tor control of the coun
Ty's depleted coal supply and trans
pOrtatiOn facilities.
Based on a previous declaration
by the commission that an emergen-
cy in transportation existed, which
opened the way for operation OF the
coal distribution plan adopted yes
terday by representatives of the
producing fields, the priority orders
issued yesterday established a pre-
ferential system for shipment or
fuel and food over all railroads east
OF the Mississippi river. Another
same time directs all the roads Of
the country to disregard established
routings in favor of such routing as
would expedite movement and avoid
congestion.
Await Word From President
Having joined in the fuel diStribu.
ton plan thus prepared for, produc-
ing operators and railroad traffic
experts today awaited the word
from President Harding to set in
motion Sthe machinery for emergency
control. The president was expected
by adminiSr officials TO formal
lyS establish today the directing ag-
ency for. the scheme by the appoint
ment of a presidential committee Of
representatives from the interstate
commerce commission and the de-
partments of commerce, justice and
interior. with Secretary Hoover as
chairman.
With the aid of an administrative
committee Of operators and railroad
traffic experts, the governmental
body will direct the activities of the
local committees of operators IN
maintaining fair prices and in dis
tributing fuel to the roads and other
pubic utilities in the order of pre-
ference established by the interstate
commerce commission as best serv-
ing the needs of the general public.

w. K. Kavanaugh of this city,
