Tuesday morning new charges were
pressed against him by the arrest
ing officer in the case. The new
charges were disturbing the peace
and resisting an officer.
Summing up the evidence as pre-
sented and explained by the defense
attorney, Robert Evans, the judge
carefully reviewed the matter, then
warned the police and the defen-
dant concerning better cooperation
between police and citizens.
The judge also mentioned the
changed testimony OF the arresting
officer, in that the defendant was
drunk and had fallen into his fist
causing his nose to bleed, that the
defendant resisted him because he
disliked police.
The defendant was also advised
concerning his apparent dislike of
police or the mere hearsay of other
people.
1t was also reported that the Of
ficer was alleged to have stated
that he wasn't going to lock Freyer
up but was going to take him into
an alley and beat him.

A horde OF grasshoppers, which

invasion began to grow smaller
Saturday as farmers began a fight
to exterminate the pests.
Armed with poison bait. furnish
ed by the federal government and
mixed by the county agricultural
commissioner staff, farmers spread
an average of two to three tons
per day on fields in all sections
OF the county. ,-
Poison bait was distributed, fol-
the most part, in the early morn
ing and just before sundown as
the pests consume the bran more
readily during those hours.
Agricultural Commissioner B. A.
Harrigan predicted that the splen-
did work being carried on by the
farmers at the present time. even
in fields which have been allowed
to become idle, will decrease the
number of pest invaders during
the spring. .-..-.--44... =

an abundance of poison for those
