Sheriff Denies Bishop Mine Closure Report
Sheriff Clark refutes claims that he acted as messenger for striking miners in ordering Bishop to close the Bishop coal mine. He says he asked Bishop to mine for threshing use, union authorities refused, and he offered protection if Bishop opened the mine. Bishop declined.

Ames Iowa analysis shows 60 percent of farms leased for cash in 1920 with a steady decline since 1900 as stock share and leases gain.
