when ]. d. Sair. one OF the pair Oh
murderous bandits. when all but cap
tured, killed Marshal Gallon. the lea'i-
er OF his pursuers, and, sending bul

Marshal Gallon was stationed there,
but before he could level his gun the
bandit had whipped out his revolver
and sent bullet through the breast OF
his victim. Gallon fell and lived only
n few hours. The bandit mounted his
bicycle and rode eastward at a tremen-
dous rate. The posse soon started in
hot pursuit. The robber was about
mile In advance, and for five miles
managed to keep good distance IN
the lead. His bicycle then went down
on him, being punctured. and he left it
by the side of the road and set out on
foot through corn field. Deputy
Sheriff Brayton was close upon his
his heels and opened fire with a double
barrelled shotgun. The bandit. seeing
he had no chance to make his escape.

ball through his brain. BY the time
the deputy sheriff reached him he was
dead. His body was riddled with bull
lets.

bank was found on his person.

turns show that the Democratic ma
jority for the state ticket In Wednes-
days election will run over $4,000. At

A few years ago James Dixon took
Pauline Descellis of Highland, ILL.,, to
st. Louis, where they were to be mar
ried. The first thing they did was to
register at a hotel as man and wife.
and few hours later the young woman
was refused license to marry because
she was a trifie under statutory age. A
few months later when Pauline became
old enough to wed she was shocked to
learn that her Jimmy had not only
changed his mind but had disappeared
as we'll, and now she is seek
ing the arrest of the man who
would have married her but
for the laws restrictions. Thus It is
that strict enforcement Of the Law
