O.B. Harding, chairman of the Council of Defense and County Attorney Koopman were called to Ashton Tuesday to investigate the case of Herman Schroeder, alleged enemy alien. After investigation he was arrested and taken to Sibley, where he will probably have a preliminary hearing today. Mr. Schroeder is charged with bootlegging, along with other alleged irregularities. It is claimed that he has been circulating reports about the treatment of our soldier boys in camp, inconsistent with that of a 100 per cent loyalty citizen.
