Sacramento Bee Monday, May 20, 1918 BOND SLACKER LEAVES Owner of 1,100-Acre Glenn County Farm Sells and Leaves For Unknown Destination WILLOWS (Glenn Co.), May 20 - Newton PETERMAN, who was placed on a boycott list by the Willows War Work League and Willows merchants for refusing to buy more than $600 worth of Liberty Bonds, has moved with his furniture and family to parts as yet unknown. His ranch of approximately 1,100 acres he sold to E.E. WILARD, formerly of Portland. When it became known that Peterman had $13,000 in the bank and had bought only a $100 bond and was not a member of the Red Cross and had refused to join the War Work League, he was waited upon by a special committee, which persuaded him to invest another $500 in bonds. He refused to take any more of the bonds, and offered to leave the county if it was the wish of the community. His offer was accepted, and a resolution to boycott him passed by the league.
