H. Forrest, deputy sheriff of Dakota county, kNeb.Information in the nature of a warning concerning the diabolical plot of a German to destroy human lives has been received by Mr. Forrest.The German, in the guise of a peddler, has been detected selling court plaster inoculated heavily with deadly leprosy germs,'Baid to be the most malignant and incurable disease in the world.The man, when arrested, assumed an indifferent attitude. He had $1,000 in money on his person. No disposition had been made of his case.“Burning at the stake or hanging would be too good for this man/’ Mr. Forrest said. “His detection simply goes to show the seriousness of war conditions, even in our own homes and should be a grave warning to all housewives to beware of peddlers and transients. ”
