13.ZIn an address here today before
the twenty fifth annual convention
OF the American National Livestock
association, Everett c. Brown, presl
dent OF the National Livestock Ex
change of Chicago, expressed his un-
qualified disapproval of the So called
Haugen meat packing and stock

In addition to denouncing the con-

Speaking of the Haugen controi
law, Mr.. Brown said "if the supreme

it will mean that every industry in

Mr.. Brown declared that 'the lack

Honest Looking Man
Proved to Be Crook
Clever Swindler Obtained $40O
From Banks At Austin BY
Forged Checks

Austin, January II. - A clever
swindler secured over $400 from
three banks at Austin by passing
forged checks drawn on the account
of George A Peterson in the Browns
dale bank.
The crook appeared as a farm hand
and represented that he had been
working for Nj. Peterson, who is a
grain buyer at Brownsville. The
young fellow acted as one would,
who Is not familiar with banking. He
was so honest looking and apparently
so sincere in his answers that suspic
ion was at once allayed.
The crook gave the name G. L.
Campbell and so indorsed the checks.
Mr.. Peterson came over to Austin
from Brownsville and brought with
him one of his checks for comparison.
The writing so closely resembled his
that 1t was apparent that the thief
must have stolen one Of his checks
and traced the writing onto the forg

that gas was being used by MI. Olson
until yesterday when tip was re-

that the Olson gas stove was doing

Fred Deef Would Not Be Baked In His Desire
Do End Life With Revolver Had
Been In Poor Health

Fred Deef, resident of this city
for the past thirty eight years, while
despondent due to continued i'll
health, shot himself through the left
temple this morning at $3.50, death
resulting instaneously. Some years
ago Mr.. 'Deef was committed to the
st. Peter insane hospital, but had
been home for the past two years,
and was practically considered cur
ed. For some time past he had been
sufferer from pernicious anemia,
and its thought that tecoming des-
pondent over the fact that he was
rapidly failing in health ended his
life.
Wife and Son Forced From Room
Mrs. Deef entered her husbands
tedroom about $3.50 o'clock intending
to do the Ipom work and bring In his
breakfast When she opened the
door, Nj. Deef pointed a thirty two
calibre revolver at her and told her
to get out. She informed her son
Peter who quickly rushed into the
rom intending to disarm his father,
but he TOO was forced to leave the
room at the point of the revolver held
in his fathers hand. Peter had barely

rang out, and when the members

found Mr.. Deef dead with bullet

man gripping the revolver in his
right hand.
Case of Suicide
DR.. G. A. Dahl, county coroner, was

gain entrance to the Olson residence
yesterday, according to the statement
of Mr.. Brown, Mrs. Olson made clean
breast of it and said that the family
had been stealing gas for some time.
The gas stove was then going full
blast and a meal cooking on it.
The investigators were dumfounded
when they happened to see a large
pipe leading to the round oak heater.
Examination of the stove revealed the
fact that large pipe had been fast
ened to the gas main and led to the
interior of the stove where it was coil
ed in the form of a heater. Mrs. OIL
son with tears in her eyes is alleged
to have admitted that the entire house
had been heated for some time with
the use of gas and the coil mentioned.
Mr Brown stated that the coil in the
round oak heater consumed about ITO
cubic feet of gas an hour, and said that
it was safe to state that the round oak
stove alone would burn SIS worth of
gas a month.
1t was expected that Olson would be
placed under arrest on the charge Of
grand larceny late this afternoon.
Olson was for time this fall in the
employ of the city.

Will Prepare Exhibit
The object is to prepare an exhibit
of miniature houses and farm build
lngs, a wide variety Of building mater
ials and equipment, house plans and
other things that would be of interest
to the prospective home builder, and
to have men who are experts in their
various lines to answer questions and
give free information on topics con-
corning the building of dwellings. The
clinic is not to be put on as a money
making proposition, but merely as an
educational affair, and no admission
charge is contemplated at this time.
1t was pointed out, at the meeting that
there is a spontaneous national move
ment on to encourage the erection of
small buildings as a means TO help
bring about the return of normal con
ditions. Activity in the line of home
building would provide work for un-
employed in a way that would be very
far reaching and very beneficial. A
number of those present at the meet
ing said that it will be possible to
build more economically next spring
than it probably will be later on. It
is believed that the Home Builders
Clinic will be appreciated and will rem
