Trouble originated down at Bnyard
the first of the week when certain
putties attending u general school
meeting took the liberty to cross out
certain clauses in notices posted
around by the Morrill county council
of defense. These notices contained
u warning to ail persons speaKtng
German to discontinue the use of the
language and to refrain from the us
of tbe language in addressing audi
ences.
The following was learned in a talk
over long distance with Captain liap-
good and Mayoj- Harrison, of Bayard
The action of the offenders was re
ported to the Baytvrd home guards
Captain Hapgood and several of the
members immediately going out to
investigate. At this investigation it
is reported that one farmer was
found hoarding flour, John Ritz. lie
was put under fftOO Dona to appear
June 22 for examination. Details of
one other offender developed at Alii
ance aB follows:
A young man notified Sheriff Cox
C at Pete Meiers, of Hayard, was
using unpatriotic and disloyal talk
around the Alliance hotel. Sheriff
Cox telephoned to Bayard regarding
Meiers, receiving reply that Meiers
was wanted in connection with the
outrage at the school house, as a
number of the posters had beeq torn
down. Marshal Read then arrested
Meiers at the hotel, wiring Bayard
that he was holding him. A member
of the home guard from Bayard ar
rived on the next train, taking Meiers
to Bridgeport, where he is being at
the county jail, awaiting action of
the council of defense.
The trouble has caused a great deal
of excitement and indignation among
the citizena around Bayard.
