ARREST ANOTHER
FOR KILLING OF
TREYNOR FARMER
August Sieck Held for Death of
George Mikesell Jim Har
bour Released After Au
topsy Today.
August Sieck, farmer living near
Treynor. Ia., was arrested in Coun
cil Bluffs yesterday and charged with
manslaughter in connection with the
shooting Tuesday of George Mike
sell, ex-convict, who died in Mercy
hospital Thursday night.
Sieck was released on $3,000 bond
to appear for preliminary hearing
next Friday, the day after the in
quest, which is to be held by the
coroner and county attorney.
Sieck admitted yesterday that he
had a rifle with him when Mikesell
was shot, and that he uped it, but he
said Mikesell fired at him first and
that about 15 shots were fired in the
battle which took place at the cross
roads between Treynor and Carson.
James L. Harbour, employed by
Sieck', and whose wife divorced him
last January to marry Mikesell, who
was held at first in connection with
the shooting, has been released.
Sieck's arrest follows an autopsy
held on the body of Mikesell by Dr.
Donald Macrae, jr., which disclosed
that the bullet which ended his life
was of .44 caliber, while the revolver
with which Harbour was shooting
was .32-caliber.
The county attorney stated yester
day that premeditated manslaughter
will be fought out in the hearing, be
cause of the fact that all three men
were heavily armed.
The dispute arose over the pay
ment of a bill of $2.50 which Sieck
claims Mikesell owed him for feed
ing a mare.
Dimming the Light.
It is possible to make a dimming
device at home by frosting the head
lights with a solution composed of
epsom salts in a cup of water, a
saturated solution. Simply paint the
inside of the lens with this solution,
which forms a frosting lasting sev
eral months. Or it is possible to
make a permanent job of the frost
ing by getting what is known as
"ground glass substitute" from a
photographic supply house. This
material is composed of ether and
rosin,, and glass once painted with
it stays frosted practically forever.

Denies Charge of
Conspiracy. N
Lincoln, June 5. (Special.)

interest in the bkinner company
shortly before I was discharged by
L!oyd Skinner," said Howe. "He
said he had backing and I believe he
meant he had the backing of the big

As Howe completed his statement
his lips quivered and his hands
shook. He grasped the arm of a
chair and sank slowly back, his
breath coming in short gasps.
