With FELONY IN
TWO COMPLAINTS
AMERICAN FALLS MAN ALGEDG-
ED TO HAVE EMBEZZLED TRUST
FUNDS HELD FOR PACIFIC saw
INGS AND LOAN COMPANY.
ACCUSED DISAPPEARS
Chris Sept Second Complaint AlIedges
He Appropriated Proceeds From
Auction Sale April Fourth = Was
Once Highly Respected.

G. G.. Sprigg, mayor of American
Falls for the past two years, and at one
time one of the most highly esteemed
men in the county, is wanted on two
charges for embezzlement, with the
likelihood that several more similar
complaints will be filed within the
next few days.
Sprigg left American Falls Satur-
day and has not been seen since Ev-
cry effort will be made to return him
to the city to face his numerous ac-
cusers. Complaints filed yesterday
were in behalf of the Pacific Savings
and Loan Company of Tacoma and
Chris Sept of American Falls. The
former complaint alledges that Sprfgg
! feloniously and with intent to de-
| fraud, did, appropriate to his own per-
sonal use 1921 of trust money belong
ing to the company.
Kept Sale Money.
The latter complaint alledges that
Sprigg on the fourth of April last, did
appropriate to his own personal use
over $15S belonging to Chris Sept. This
money was obtained by Sprigg at an
auction sale which he clerked. The
nature of other alledged crimes have
not been made public.
Sprigg came to American Falls three
years ago from Roy, Idaho, where he
was a prominent raneher. He entered
the real estate business with the
Wones Mortgage Loan Corporation and
later purchased the business himself
later selling a half interest to R.
Roberts. Mr.. Roberts relinquished his
Interest in the business over year
iago and is now in San Francisco.
Sprigg continued to operate as re-
2 representatives. of Loan and Mortgage
Companies, and is known to have been
2 in serious trouble with them and his
: local clients several times His
lhis friends as unfortunate and not
: willful They helped him out of many
: difficulties and stood by him Loyalty.
About a year ago, his wife left him for
. California where she has been living
ever since.
Too Much Booze.
!, Following her departure he began
! to drink more heavily and never con-
quered the booze habit. He was elect
: ed to the office of Mayor in 1921 fol-
lowing an active city campaign. His
difficulties have increased ever since
and several reprimands at the hands of
the city council failed to alter his
. course.
} Prosecution of Sprigg has been
pending several weeks but no papers
} were filed until after he had seeming
ly left the city. He confided to friends
that he had a job in Caliornie but
so far has not been located.

Half Million
Dollar Idea

1t would be worth half million doll
lars every year to the farmers OF
Power County if they would summer
fallow right, according to Frank Mea-
dows, who is one of the county's most
successful and most authoritative wheat
raisers.
BY summer fallowing right Mr. Mea-
dows means this: plow as much sum
mer fallow as possible in the fall. Plow
deep and leave rough. Harrow early
in the spring as early as the weather
will permit, twice if necessary. Plow
rest of land in the spring following
closely with harrow In this way all
plowing is done with plenty of mOis-
Iture in the ground, the most of which
is saved.
I'VE have plenty of moisture here,
says Mr.. Meadows, "but we don't con-
serve it. With my plan, the work is
done early and the moisture IL all
held"
Lots of farmers plow when ii Is
dry so that the weeds won't come. THAI
is wrong, in my opinion Let the weeds
come and get after them with a rotary
rod weeder. | have found it to be the
only reliable machine for controlling
the weeds"
Il have been observing carefully ant
can say that every farmer In the
Rockland valley who summer falfowet
early and had his wheat up early il
the fall, has a good stand this spring
Those who plowed dry, didn't conserve
the moisture and have poor crops"
| Mr.. Meadows has 500 acres In whea
this spring and says that he expects {
good crop. Much of it is now kne'
high. He sold over $4,000 worth O
wheat last season.

Barnard Poorly Supported at
BiackfOOt Sunday.

Poor support behind Barnard. on the
mound for the Indians, lost a ragged
game to the PocatelIo Bannocks Sun

hit four time in four trips to the plat
ter and led his team mates at bat.
In addition played an error1ess game

eighth but was not effective. His Of

est Teams In Each Group
Would Play for honors

A two division plan OF the ONO
Conference which Is being tostered by
Coach E. r. Godfrey OF Wittenoerg.
Is melting with favor among atnleuc
officials Of Ohio Conference schools.
Godfrey was summoned before a spe-
ctal committee OF the Ohio Conference
some weeks ago where he explained
his plan. During the summer and tall
the plan has fet with popular approval
IN sport circles Of the state. and 600
frey has ben asked TO appear before
the special committee agin IN a few
weeks lust before the annual football
meeting OF the Ohio Conference.
Godfrey has suggested that the nino'
teen colleges at present IN the Q. =.
be divided into two groups. "A ana
"B" one with ten and the other Win
nine members. The ten schools rin'
ishinE the present season highest IN
standing would be the "a" group.
All group "a" teams SHOULD play at
least five games within that group
annually, and the "B" group teams
should follow the same plan. Then at
the close OF the 1928 season, the two
or three schools ranking highest IN
tho b" group standing would replace
the two or three schools ranking low
est IN the "a" class standing, the lat
ter going back TO the %" class for the
next season. This promotion and de-
motion would take place at the end OF
each yridiron season.
