This week Mrs. Norby filed com

county officers to issue search
warrant and search his home for
property alleged TO have been
taken from the Great Northern

not find the blankets but various
other circumstances they noted

nevertheless guilty Of violating
the law. The houses of some of
his relatives were also searched.
During these searches a relative
