Rifle Cash Reg ister at Louis ville Garage Robbers Proceed to Open Cash Reg ister and Secure $51.13 in Change. The town of Louisville was visit ed by burglars last night who were successful in securing $51. 18 from the cash register of the Dietrich Motor Co., garage. A rear window of the garage was forced open by the robbers and who were then able to gain entrance to the garage, taking the cash register from its usual place to a secluded part of the garage and where it was opened and the sum above mentioned taken. George Dolan, who lives two doors from the garage, reports that he heard a noise in the direction of the garage around 10:20 and which it is supposed, was the burglais at their work in getting into the garage building. The manner in which the robbery was pulled off indicates that the par ties doing it were familiar with the surroundings of the building and the arrangement of the interior of the garage. The robbers left the checks that, were in the cash register as well as a $5 bill that they had evidently overlooked in their search of the register. Louisville has suffered from a number of these robberies in the past few months and are planning on checking any further depredations even if necessary to use tho effective methods that were employed by Fred O.senkop several years ago and which left Louisville a spot to be shunned by robbers lor several years.

Dcs Moines. Markets in Sioux City and a few smaller northwest Iowa towns alone suffered declining receipts because of farmers' attempt.! to withhold their products pending higher prices. From a score of the larger centers thruout the rtate came unanimous reports that the thirty day strike of members of the na tional Fanners' Holiday association was without apparent effect eo far. In the Sioux City area hundreds of farmers continued to picket high ways under the surveillance of fifty special deputy sheriffs and police. So effective was the strikers' campaign that only about a dozen trucks reach- ed the markets, whereas normally GOO trucks daily enter the city with farm products. Unarmed deputies es corted truckers thru farmers' lines, but not without trouble, for many angry farmers climed aboad the ma chines. Shi riff Davenport declared he intended to keep the six main highways open for traffic and that fifty additional deputies would be sworn in if recessary. Meanwhile packers, produce deal ers, elevator men ar.d ether buyers in all sections of Iowa, save the Sioux City area, said they bought as much produce a-? normally or that any slump in receipts could be laid di rectly to a seasonal decline. Farmers in some sections of Iowa were said to be opposed to the strike. They pointed out that they could not afford to withhold their perishab! stuffs from market now. Dealers sai they were handling as much or more produce as they usually do at thi sea?on, a nd that they expected no influence to be visible later on trade Contrary to statements made here Monday by E. N. Hammerquist . of Farmingdale. S. D.. that forty odd South Dakota counties were organ ized and awaiting the strike notice E. H.
