gions where the United States
department Of agriculture, the
states, and counties are carry
ing on campaigns against cattle
tuberculosis report almost un-
animously that the work Is
good thing and should be encour-
aged and increased. These facts
were brought out through letters
sent out by the Department Of
Agriculture to a large number of
veterinarians. Four hundred and
ten replies were received. Out
of this large number only
twenty seven spoke unfaVorably
Of the work, and 369 were defin-
itely in favor of carrying it on
according to present plans.
Sixty five veterinarians said that
their practice had been reduced
as a result OF the campaign, but.
nevertheless, more than half Of
them, in spite Of this loss, gave
their approval. Many of the vet
erinarians say that cleaning out
tuberculosis from the herds in
uneir communities has been a
good thing for their business.
and scores of them mention the
general Improvement in livestock
which has resulted. the reduc-
tiOn of losses, and the increas-
ing prosperity Of farmers. 1t is
apparent from this investigation
that the cooperating agencies
policy in the fight against cattle
tuberculosis has not been a de-
triment to the local veterinarian.

inside out and LOOK the twenty cents.
MIR. Densworth was unable TO deter
mine whether any groceries were
taken. Tracks showed plainly at
the rear OF the store. These would
indicate that it was either small

THEY FIXED IT UP
How w. A. Weber and George Al

ROW w. a. weber and George Al

Friends OF W. A. Weber and
George Alstrom of this city are
telling good joke at the expense
of these two gentlemen, who left
Mankato last week to make an auto
trip to Chicago. 1t would appear
that a short distance outside of
Appleton, Wis, George Alstrom,
who was at the wheel, was stepping
on the gas. He was astonished when
a man in uniform mounted ON a
motor cycle, suddenly appeared
alongside of the car and invited
George to drive to the side of the
road. At first he thought 1t was
Major Henry Kachelmyer of the
Mankato police force, but that Of
fetal had a determined look in his
cold steel colored eyes. you can
not drive forty two miles an hour
on this road, said the officer. Then
the begoggled officer began making
notes, and told George to appear in
court in Appleton.
Cant we fix it up some other
way?" asked George.
The officer said: Eyes, will ap-
pear for you by proxy if you pay
me S14.42". Georges friend, Bill
Weber, came forward with the
money, and then the two Mankato
men motored on toward Chicago,
wiser but poorer men.

CONFESSED TO THEFT
William steeeman "Came Clean"
With Robbery Story At Fairmont


Fairmont, July 30.-William Ste
geman has confessed his part in
the automobile stealing activities
and his son William, Jr., were ar
rested this week on the charge OF
ealing a Ford touring car from
Fred Semi and touring car from
Jack Urich. The Stegeman farm
has been under surveillance ever
since the Smith robbery and the ar
rests OF Bartlett, Rushton and Fred
Arndt. The pair have been in Jail
in Watonwan county since Wednes
day, the elder Stegeman being con
lined at St. James and his son at
Madelia.
Sheriff Bermel of Watonwan
county notified Sheriff Carver of
Stegeman's confession. He is said
thing. Stegeman also implicated
several of the men now in the Mar
tin County jail on various charges
ranging from stealing livestock to
automobiles.
Stegeman's son paid a fine for his
share in the robberies, and was
freed. His father is reported to be
seriously i'll in the st. James Jail,
which may have accounted for his
concession.
Further DEVELOPMENTS in the farm
robbery clean up are expected mo-
mentarily. Stegeman's confession
will very likely hasten the convic-
ton of some of the men now in
jail. One of the quartet is about
to plead his charge, Stegeman hav.
ing deeply involved him in the
case.
Sheriff Carver stated that the
on might as we'll plead now and
have 1t over with. There are enon~'
charges against the Jailed quartet
to keep them in Saltwater for life
If they should all be pushed.
