With the Bolsheviki
with the bolsheviki of Russia, in a
conspiracy to overthrow organized
government here, the prosecution at
the "trial" of the five suspended so
cialist assemblymen charged with
disloyalty succeeded in introducing
in evidence the testimony obtained
by the joint legislative committee in
vestigating radicalism from Ludwig
C. A. K. Martens, self-styled Rus
sian soviet ambassador to the United
States.
The assembly judiciary committee
conducting the investigation admit
ted the evidence after protests by
the socialists' counsel. Attorney
Seymour Stcdman then demanded
that, if the testimony be read at all,
it be read in its entirety.
The reading began and seemed
due to continue for two or three
days when Mr. Stedman and com
mittee counsel reached an agreement
whereby rhe testimony is to be
printed and presented to the defense.
Then both sides will read into the
record such portions as they de

TOP PRICE PAID
FOR FAT LAMBS
AT STOCK YARDS
Go at $2 Higher Than Any
Price Ever Paid Before
;; In he Month of
V ' January.
Fat Uiiibs are selling at the local
yards nearly $3, higher than they
ever sold any previous January,
which is partly attributed to the
( campaign for "Eat More Lamb."
Two loads of choice lambs were
sold Wednesday bv J. T. Slack of
Shelton, at $20.05, which was the
first sale to go over the $'0 mark
this season. Mr. Stack said he fed
about J.000 Iambs this season, and

ket soon. .
' A deck of lambs was brought in

Schlcswig, la., which included 64
head of golden hoofs weighing 64
pounds each. They brought $20.10
a hundred. This is the highest paid
for lambs since last April, and the
top price ever paid in January.
Kearney Ranchmen
Give Up Chickens
To Raise Rabbits
Ed Powel came in from the "1733"
ranch near Kearney Saturday with
a Joad of cattle that brought $12.50
a hundred, which is considered good
for the class that made up the herd..
According to Powell, the "1733"
ranch got its name from the fact
that it is located at a point 1733
miles from either Boston or San
Francisco. The ranch originally
consisted ' of 5,000 acres, but has
been reduced to 1,640, and is de
voted to the raising of pure bred
cattle of all breeds.
Mr.- Powell - said a number of
ranchers near Kearney had given
up raising chickens and are devot
ing their time to the raising of rab
bits as a substitute. They say rab
- bits can be fed at considerable less
than chickens and point out that the
meat of a rabbit is more delectable
than chicken.
