ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1932 PRICE FIVE CENTS Sa WIRE CABLES USED TOHAMPER TRAFFIC Farmers Lose in First Brush With Law, However, and Sheep Go to Market 300 MEN ON PATROL DUTY lowa Farm Strikers Are Sent Home By Gopher Sheriff Following Census Worthington, Minn., Sept. 19.—() -—Brandishing clubs and blocking roads with steel griders, heavy wire cable and spiked machine belts, farmer pickets seeking higher prices went into action here Monday and soon afterward lost in their first brush with the law. Sheriff Eldon Rowe and Deputy Sheriff Albert Levine went to the aid of S. V. Calvin, a farmer living south of here, and rescued Calvin's load of sheep after the pickets unhitched his team, tied the horses to a telephone pole and ran the wagon load into a ditch. Led by M. B. Miller, vice chair- man of the Nobles county unit of the state Farmers’ Holiday association, which defied the parent body in or- ganizing the picket lines, upwards of 300 men patroled 10 highways lead- ing into Worthington. The pickets were instructed to turn back all non-perishable farm prod- ucts in a move designed to help stop’ shipments into Sioux City markets. Several truck loads of farm stuff were turned back but farmers ap- parently had withheld much of their products to see whether the blockade would become effective as announced. Some of the pickets even were halting passenger cars. Guard ‘Bottle-Neck’ The heaviest concentration of pickets was at the Omaha railroad viaduct south of town where about. 150 men were patroling a sort of bottleneck. 3 That is where the sheriff rescued the load of sheep. Reports were that Calvin, owner. of the load of sheep, was stopped by the pickets and ordered to return home. He was headed for the local agency which buys livestock from the farmers and then ships in carload lots to the Sioux City markets. Cal- vin refused to comply with the ord- ers, whereupon he was forced to re- lnquish the reins. A picket drove the team into the ditch and several others helped unhitch the team. Sheriff Rowe was called. He talk- ed with Calvin and some of the pickets and while he continued to converse with the latter, a deputy hitched up the team, pulled the wagon from the ditch, then led the team past the patrol. Calvin then mounted the seat and proceeded to market. Backing up their appeals for co- operation from the Nobles county Holiday association members, Iowa farm strikers sent two truckloads of men here to help establish the first picket lines. They came from' James, Towa. Sheriff Rowe refused to permit the visiting strikers to serve, however, and ordered them to return home, stating the picket lines could contain only Nobles county men. The sheriff began a census of the patrol, taking the names and ad- dresses of the pickets to see this rul- ing was enforced. Sheriff Rowe conferred with Coun- (Continued on Page Seven) PIONEER OF CITY FATALLY INJURED Arthur C.

They said disclosure of a fractured skull, badly bruised and swollen arm, lack of blood spots where the body was found and the fact that the , body was in an unnatural position when found establishes without doubt that he was murdered and the body placed in the clump of bushes near Edmunds. A post-mortem held at Ci showed a .22 calibre bullet had taken a straight course with a shade to the upward. The bullet had entered the head at the left side just above the ear. Little blood was found on the ground under the head where the body was found. There were marks on the head, and the skull was frac- tured on the top of the head to the left for a distance of about four inches. When found the body was on its back. Brooks held a gun in his left hand with the forefinger over the barrel. His cap was on his chest and | his head was about four inches above the ground, showing that rigor mor- tis had set in before the body had been placed on the ground.
