Set Fire to Tobacco Shed;
Two Plead Guilty to Arson

RICHLAND CENTER.-A bit of
good detective work on the part of
District Attorney Stevenson and Alva
Miller, of Redwood, resulted in the
arrest and conviction of Albert and
Charles Hays, of Crawford County, on
a charge of arson The crime was
that of setting fire to tobacco shed
on the Miller farm and the resulting
fire caused a loss of between $4,000
and $4,000 to the owner, j. NJ. Miller.
The burning of the building was
done for revenge and robbery, so
Charles Hays stated in his confession.
The story as sifted down by Attor-
ney Stevenson and as told by the Of
tenders is about as follows:
Albert Hayes had been working as
carpenter for Mr.. Miller for some
time and a dispute arose over the work
and HAYS was discharged from the job.
This angered him and he wanted re-
venge. AS he had been paid off in
twenty and ten dollar bills each he
imagined that Miller had a heap of
money around the house. He couple
revenge with robbery, thinking, so
Charles, who is a son of Albert, says,
that if the shed was fired the Miller
people would rush out of the house to
the fire, whereupon Hays would rush
in and rob the place.
The shed was fired by Charles Hays
in the night time.
Millers evidently slept soundly as
they did not know that the shed was
afire until people, who were attending
a dance at Excelsior, came and awoke
them.
By this time the shed was ready to
fall in and as quite a crowd gathered
there was no attempt to rob the house.

auspices of the Arm. S radio dynamic
torpedo unit for coast defense with
out expense to the Government, but
the Navy Department, Shearer
charged, firmly refused to lend the
torpedoes necessary for the tests and
they were abandoned.

PARIS, September 19.-Marshal Pc
tain'S offensive against the rebefs in
Morocco, which began September 10,
besides shattering the defensive of the
most powerful dissident tribes and re-
covering nearly 1900 square miles of
territory north of the Ouergha River,
has brought the French troops several
points nearer to the theoretical
by the Algeciras pact.
The operations eliminated with the
capture of Zaouia Oulad GheZZar, s
miles northeast of the Bibane Ridge,
bringing the French line eastward of
Tafrant up to the level of the west
ward line established a week ago by
the capture of Amjot.
Consolidating Positions.
Gen. Naulin received a pressing in
vitation from the Benz Brahim tribes
men to come and occupy their capital
Oulad GheZzar and receive their sub
mission.
Important French forces are con-
solidating the stategical positions of
the territory gained, and large garri-
sons will be left.
Marshal Petain has decided that the
era of small outposts is ended. Vast
intrenched camps an Irregular for
tresses will remain facing the Moors,
notably at Bah Taxa. MeZoura, Ain
Matouf and Bah Ouender.
Despite the successes, the general
command appears doubtful whether
the war can be carried into the heart
of Abd-el- -krim's country before the
t,,1l
difficult of Taounat. On this high and
difficult range the Moors are in
trenched, barring the route of the
French troops. 1t is probable that the
French will spend the winter on their
present lines, except for a slight ad-
vance to Taougertat.
Seek Tribes Confidence.
The French are aiming to restore
the confidence of the Benz Zeruals
the Benz Urriaguels. the Benz Bou-
banes and the Benz Brahms, the most
important tribes in Morocco
All the aviation units co-operated in
the recent operations at Amjot, Ia
ouia Oulad GheZZar and Ell Bibane and
assisted greatly in the French gains
along the center line. The American
squadron bombed Boukkos, receiving
honors in the communique of Gen.
Naulin.
The past week marks a decisive
stage in the French operations in
Morocco, but Abd-el-Krim still retains
about 10000 regulars, shock troops
and ,mercenaries, and although recent
defettionS are reported to. have
brought the number of his adherents
down from 10000 to 10000 the
