Murder of A A Blender at Stromsburg Farm By Hired Man
A. A. Blender, a wealthy bachelor farmer on the Henrikson farm near Stromsburg, was murdered by his hired man Louis Chobar during the night of November 28. The assailant fled in Blender's car after robbing him, leaving a note falsely claiming adultery as motive. A wide search across three counties recovered Blender’s trunk and personal effects, a revolver, and other plunder near a ravine where the car was abandoned. Sheriff forces press on with the case as they close in on Chobar, who may be hiding with provisions and ammunition. Mrs Blender was bound in bed during the attack and later freed by neighbors.
