Temptation. Kathleen had her "play telephone" in "the little small bed room." Colleen was in the living room, sitting next to tempta tion, the telephone.

Apparently she dialed "0" and got the long distance operator. Kathleen heard her sister tell the operator her mommy had died and she wanted the police to come. Under questioning, she added that her name was Jackson and "Granny Newman" lived next door. "Then she hanged up" Kath leen reported.

When someone called the number from which Colleen had telephoned he was told no one by the name of Jackson lived there. Tour Area. Deputy Sheriff Bernard Cop ley, Ed Coventry and Charles Walters, all of Mitchellville, and Iowa Highway Patrolman Andre Carstensen toured the area trying to find a Jackson family who needed help. Finally, after talking again with the operator, the men tried out the "Granny Newman angle. "Grandma," Mrs.

Prominent on each car was a big sticker saying "Wright County Sheriff." Each dummy wore a hat. Blecker's theory was this: A driver of a speeding would have time to no more than notice the "sheriff's automobile" parked along the road.

The "driver then would immediately Blow down for fear the car would chase and arrest him. Stunt Worked. The stunt worked. Said John Clifford, operator of a filling station on Highway 69 east of Clarion: "It really has slowed them down. Even the drivers who stop here don't realize there's only a dummy in the car.

One guy from Nebraska asked me what the sheriff was doing sitting there in his parked car. I just told the fellow the sheriff was slowing down traffic. I didn't let on about the dummy." Mrs. Clifford had one suggestion. "The dummy Is tipped too far back," she said.

"He looks like he's asleep. Why don't you tip him forward a little?" A blanket was placed behind the dummy and everyone agreed that the "sheriff" looked more Wide awake as a result. Mc Alpine, who lives 5 miles south of Belmond on Highway 69, had one of the dummy cars outside his house overnight Friday night. "Man in There." "I though't there was a man in there," he grinned. "I didn't know otherwise until I saw the car Saturday morning and investigated.

I had to laugh at the motorists. They really slowed down and looked at the car." Blecker placed the car on the roadside near McAlpine's house because there been considerable dangerous "passing on a hill" at that point. McAlpine agreed that he has seen "some pretty risky things here." Blecker borrowed two dummies from C. H. "Pat" Crowe, who operates a men's clothing store in Clarion.

Crowe had only two male dummies to spare. Blecker borrowed two feminine dummies from L. R. "Bud" Stark, who operates a ladies style shop. Crowe contributed hats for all fotr dummies.

Bert Sampson, Clarion Ford dealer, lent Blecker the cars. All kinds of stories about the dummies were being circulated in Clarion Saturday. One story was that some girls who were confused about the roads stopped at a "sheriffs car" to Inquire about directions. Another story was that a Wright county man who had a flat tire asked for a ride to town. Man Hunt? A radio announcer from a nearby city called Blecker and asked the sheriff if a man hunt were on.

The announcer noticed the cars parked overnight and thought they were "roadblocks." Another Wright county resident called Blecker and asked where he had gotten "all those deputies sitting out on the road in cars." "The board of supervisors hired them," the deadpan sheriff said. One car was placed 2', miles east of Clarion on Highway 3. i The other three all were on Highway 69 Saturday, one 5 miles south of Belmond, a sec-; ond at the intersection of 3 and 69 and the third three miles south of that intersection. The cars all were locked. Blecker didn't want anybody to pilfer either the dummies pr the The 29-year-old sheriff said he got the Idea for the "dummy patrol" sometime ago.
