Kentland Stirrad By Discovery Of Bushel of Doctored Corn.

r Kentland was wrought up one day last week and there was talk of organizing a company of home guards and go on the hunt of German propagandists when about a bushel of “doctored” corn was found in a field on the Rolland Ade farm, where a large number of horses, cattle and hogs were pastured. The corn had been scraped from the cob and was covered with a brown substance. Samples of it have been sent to the state chemist for analysis. The fact that the corn was a different variety from any grown in the neighborhood emphasized th esuspicion that the pasture had been “salted” to kill the stock.
