Alleged Chicken Thieves
Placed Under Arrest
Sheriff of lie Sueur County Got
On The Trail of The
Stolen Fowls
Especial 20 The Free Press ]

For some time past farmers north
west of Waterville have Eeen the vic
tins of chicken thieves, suffering
the loss of hundreds of their best
fowls which they had sorted out and
reserved as their best layers and
breeders. Late Wednesday night as
John Raddemacher, school teacher
and pure bred poultry breeder, lay
abed suffering with the mumps, he
heard a commotion in his chicken
house and suspected what was going
on, but was too sick to offer defence.
On the morning the discovered that
thieves had stolen seventy five of his
pure bred Leghorns and Orpingtons.
Mr.. Raddemacher wired Hugo Bake,
sheriff Of LeSueur county who arriv-
ed on the scene and took up the clues
like a bloodhound He discovered
that. one Jake Cline of that vicinity
had sold that morning to Richter, a
poultry buyer of Kilkenny, $50 worth
of chickens corresponding with Mr..
Raddemacher's lost Leghorns, and
which Mr.. Richter had already ship
ped to Swift at Waseca. Bake was
camping on the trail and the scent
was getting hot. In a short time he
was in Waseca where he claimed and
identified by toe marks the stolen
fowls, which he had cooped up and
expressed home on the northbound
passenger. Bake then proceeded to
that neighborhood who have been un-
der suspicion for some time past
August Quiram and William Zellmer
are among those who have recently
suffered heavy loss through chicken

FARM BUREAU HEAD
WILL REMAIN HERE
Board So Decides In Case
Of Mcmillan
ENDORSES HIS LABORS
Work Is to Be Carried On With
Same Vigor AS Done
Heretofore

l.. e. Mcmillan will continue as
county agent in Blue Earth county.
At a meeting of the executive
board of the Blue Earth County Farm
Bureau held at the Mankato State
bank building Saturday afternoon,
the board was informed that nearby
county was anxious to secure the
services of the Blue Earth county
agent, l.. e. Mcmillan.
The Blue Earth County Farm Bur
eau has made exceptional progress
since Mr.. Mcmillan has been at the
head of bureau work in this county,
and because of his good work and
tireless efforts to advance every
cause for the betterment Of the people
of Blue Earth county, the members of
the. board refused to accept his resig-
nation. The board unquaiifiedlTe en-
dorsed the work of Mr.. Mcmillan, and
pleadged its unanimous support for
the coming year.
The members Of the beard stated
that they felt that If Mr.. Mcmillan
were to leave the bureau at this time
it would greatly cripple the work,
which is now running so smoothly.
Interested In the Work. -.
in the people of Blue Earth county,
and said that if his leaving would re-
tard the work in the county, he was
ready to stay and put forth his best
efforts for the bureau, and through
it to all of the people of the county.
Mr.. Mcmillan said that he was
anxious to see the boys and girls
club work continued in tie same sue
cessful manner as in the past. He
has carried a large part of the club
work both in Blue Earth and Jackson
ond N1yiShnc Give fhn work
every assistance possible.
William Schultz, one OF the mem
bers of the Blue Earth county Farm
Bureau board, who made the above
statement to The Free Press, said
that because of the present financial
depression, which reacts on all lines
of work, many farmers have found it
impossible to pay their farm bureau
dues. Ninety five percent of them
are strongly in favor of the bureau,
but only about fifty percent up to date
have found it possible to pay their
dues to the organization. This, Mr..
Schultz said makes it Necessary to
curtail expenses. The board voted to
discontinue the services of one man,
but are leaving the matter open for
thirty days so that it might determine
whether further financial assistance
can not be obtained.
Boys and Girls Work
1t was decided at the executive
board meeting of the Farm Bureau
that if the financial conditions per
sisted and the bureau was unable to
retain the services of M. H. Coe,
county club leader, his contract with
the bureau would terminate. The
board recognizes the splendid work
that Mr.. Coe has performed with the
boys and girls clubs throughout the
county, and it is hoped that it will not
be necessary to discontinue the woSt
under his efficient management.
However, should it be necessary to
dispense with his services, owing to
lack of funds. the boys and girls
club work will be discontinued under
the guidance Of County Agent L. e.

Killing SelfDefense
Is Claim, of FarWeH
Wealthy Wisconsin Farmer Con-
fesses To The Haystack
Murder
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l

Madison, Wis, January 16.-Ar-
raignment of Hartweii Farwell
wealthy Vienna, Wis, farmer char
ged with the killing of Phillip Houst-
on of Windsor, and attempting to
burn his body in a haystack near
Portage, was postponed today on re-
quest OF his attorney, F. M. Wylie.
He is expected to be brought before
Judge A. G. Hoppmann in Dane
county superior court tomorrow to
answer charge of first degree muir
der.
Farweu in signed statement Civ
en- before Sheriff William McCor-
mick and District Attorney T. c.
Lewis Oh Saturday, admitted killing
Houston. He claimed that he had
shot him in self defense.
Discrepancies are said by Sheriff
Mccormick to have been found be-
tween ForwelPs explanation of the
crime and that told by his sister
Alice, to whom Houston is reported
to have paid attention despite serious
objections of her brother. Miss
Farwell in a written statement on
Sunday said that she had seen Heus
ten Tuesday, evening running from
her house to the road with her broth
er in pursuit. This is in variance with
the claim of Farwell that he shot
Houston as he came toward him car
rying a heavy club.

DEATH CAME AS RELIEF
Mrs. William Giesske Passed Away At
Her Home, New Ulm

Mrs. William Giesske Passed Away At
Her Home, New Ulm
New Ulm Journal: Death came as
a relief to Mrs. william H. Gieseke,
nee Anna Bruins, at the Gieseke home
on Second South street, Tuesday af
ternoon at 2:40 o'clock. Mrs. Gieseke
had been a patient sufferer during the
past several years. She was taken to
a local hospital two years ago this
month, where she received treatment
for time. Following this specialists
at Mankato, the twin cities and Ro
chester were consulted, but no relief
was obtained, Everything possible was
accomplished for her, but she seemed
to obtain but little benefit. Her all
ment was diabetes.
The deceased was born in the pro-
vince of Hanover, Prussia, May 19,
1866, and came to this country with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. Bruins,
when four years of age. The family
settled on a farm in Nicollet county
which was the hc,me for number of
years. Following the death of the
mother the family removed to st. Paul
where the deceased was married on
March. IL. 1891, to her sorrowing hus-
band, William H. Gieseke. During the
greater part of the time since her
marriage she had been a resident of
this city.
Mrs. Gieseke was the mother OF
eight children, four of whom. preceded
her in death. The surviving children
are: Mrs. Robert Marquardt, DR.. c..
H. Gieseke and Miss Agnes and Stan
ley. all of New Ulm. The two latter
are at home. She is also survived by
two brothers, Fred and John Bruins Of
Mankato and two half brothers, Carl
Bruins of Nicollet and Arthur Bruins
Of st. Paul, together with her stepmo-
ther, Mrs. Anna Bruins, residing in St.
Paul.
The Gieseke family has the sympa-
thy of the whole community, in the
loss of kind and thoughtful wife and
mother.
The funeral obsequies were held yes
terday afternoon at 1870 o'clock, from
the Gieseke home on Second South
street, and from the Lutheran church
at Q o'clock, following which the re-
mains were inferred in the Lutheran
cemetery
