IOWA FARMER
is LASHED TO
FLOATING LOG
Officers Hope When He Re-
gains Consciousness He
Can Name ASSailants

Tekamah, Neb., July 8--tF)-Offi-
GERS today continued to piece to-
gether bits of evidence and rum0r
tending to support their theories
Of q murderous attack on William
Deckert, young Iowa farmer and
former German army aviator, who.
unconscious and severely injured,
was found dashed to log floating in
the Missouri river near Onawa, Iowa.
While sheriff's deputies wait at
the hospital here in hope that Deck
ert will soon regain consciousness
and be able to name his assailants,
other officers are tracing the few
available clues which point to robbery
or arguments over Missouri river
sand bar farming land as possible
motives for the crime.
Deckert has a good chance of
recovery, doctors stated, and solution
of the mysterious attack now hinges
on whether he will be able to name
his assailants. once he regains
consciousness.
Deckert, who apparently was in the
water about IL hours was conscious
for few minutes last night and
gave few details Of the attack.
Three men, he said, took part in the
assault, one covered him with q
revolver while the other struck him
from behind. Deckert did not give
the names Of the trio.
