COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia, Nov.
9.-UP).-A bridge of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee, st. Paul & Pa
cific railway, near Portsmouth,
Ia, was damaged by fire today
but traffic was not impeded. The
damage was not extensive and re-
pairs were made in a few minutes.
This is the third bridge which has
been set afre in the farm strike

Shelby county officials said there
was no evidence it was fired by
farm strikers.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. g.
(UP).-Farm produce moved to
midwest markets yesterday with
only occasional interference by
pickets of the national farm
strike. simultaneously, however,
leaders of the Farm Holiday As
ISOLATION asserted that the strike
is progressing "far beyond expec-
tations."
Thousands of pickets were
driven from the highways OF
Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin by
cold weather, increased forces OF
deputy sheriffs and the growing
belligerency of non-striking farm
erS.
Discovery of plot to bomb 8
cattle car at Hortonville, Wis.
was the principal indication that
strikers still are determined tc
enforce their embargo.
Six sticks of dynamite, capped
and fused, were discovered there
fastened TO a car awaiting load
ing.
Picketing made it's first appear
ance in Illinois. State police were
called to patrol highways neal
Kankakee after sheriff's deputie'
had rescued a milk truck driver
taken from his truck by farmers
Near Sioux City, Iowa, where
pickets had been inactive for q
hours. four truckloads of livestock
were released.

truck, although Ensminger or Stokes
did not hear the report of gunfire."
The police instructed Pvt. Ensminger
not to permit any one to molest the
truck until a thorough examination
could be made later. The right side of
the private's face was cut slightly from
glass. said the police, but he did not re-
quire hospital treatment.
The police declared that while they
were engaged in the search, they heard
the report of a rifle from the vicinity
of Columbia Island, in the Potomac, 2
miles away. They went there and were
informed by the guard on the Arling-
ton Memorial Bridge that some one was
shooting a high-powered rifle from
either Columbia Island or on the, Vir-
search of Columbia Island and went
into adjoining Virginia, but were unable
to locate any one.
