BELONG TOA DESPERATE GANG
Bandits Occupy Two Houses and
There Are Fifteen Ssen when
All Are ut Home.

sCRIBNER, Neb.. Jan. Especial
Telegram.) Am investigation by Bee re-
porter of the place where the bandits were
captured shows that they undoubtedly be-
long to one of the biggest. toughest gangs
of criminals in the state. They occupied
two houses one a good sized farmhouse
near the shack. Four women and from
three to fifteen men made up the family.
The gang that robbed the Elgin store made
their headquarters there. They lived two
months in Fremont last summer.
The woman under arrest at Fremont is
said to be the wife of Williams, one of the
Elgin robbers. The wounded bandit went
while around Crowell by the name Of Will
Darrell.
The chase for Darrell was hot one.
John Stuckhorse, in whose wagon he rode
for a few miles, reports to the officers
that he had probably carried one of the
men. In few minutes large number ot
men and boys were on his trail He made
hard fight for liberty and only gave up
when so weakened by bullet wounds that he

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.
Catarrh Is Found Eyerywh.r.

Catarrh Is at home anywhere and every
where. While more common in cold, chang
cable climates, 1t is by no means confined
to them, but is prevalent in every state
and territoy In the union.
The common definition OF catarrb is
chronic cold in the head. which il long neg
lected often destroys the sense of smell
and hearing, but there are many other forms
of the disease. even more obstinate and
dangerous.
Catarrh OF the throat and bronchial tubes
as well as catarrh OF the stomach and liver
are almost as common as nasal catarrh and
generally moro difficult tc cure
Catarrh is undoubtedly blood disease and
can only be successfully eradicated by an
internal treatment; Sprays washes and
powders are useless as far as reaching the
real seat OF the disease is concerned.
DR.. Mclvernsy advises catarrh sufferers
to use new preparation sold by druggists
called Stuarts Catarrh Tablets because
actual analysis has shown these tablets TO
contain certain anti-septie qualities of the
highest value and being an internal remedy
pleasant TO the taste, convenient and harm
less, can be used as freely as required. as
well for children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker who had
been catarrh sufferer for years, says:
Every fall j would catch cold which
would settle in my head and throat and
hang on all Writer long and every winter 1t
seemed to get little worse. ] was con-
tinually clearing my throat and my voice
became affected TO such an extent as to
interfere with my public speaking
tried troches and cheap cough cures and
sometimes got relief, but only for a short
time until this winter when | learned of
the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
Its, through a newspaper advertisement
Two fifty cent boxes which bought at my
druggists. cleared my head and throat In
hne shape and to guard against return OF
my old trouble | keep a box OF the tablets
on hand and whenever catch a little cold
! take tablet or two and ward of any Sc
rions Developments"
stuarts Catarrh Tablets deserves to head
the list as a household remedy, TO check
and break up coughs and colds. because
unlike many other catarrh and cough cures
these tablets contain no opiate. cocain, OF
any injurious drug.

1929, 293 ,901, which was the largest sum ac-
cumulated during any administration in
recent years until within the last two or
three years. Our immense gold holdings
are due, OF course, to the great prosperity
OF the country, to the increased production
of gold in all directions and in large part
to the fact that the United States is now
the creditor nation OF the world
Mr. Roberts thought that for the present
at least there would continue to be an
increase in the treasury holdings of gold,
but It must be reduced somewhat should the
reduction of the war revenue taxes be so
heavy as to run the expenditures close
to the receipts.

With the coming of the new year the
president OF the Anheuser- Busch Brewing
association sent to every wholesale GUS
toner the following pleasant greeting by
wire:
THE Anheuser- Busch Eagle heralds
loudly the praise of those who helped make
him famous throughout the world and ex-
tends hearty thanks and new century geet-
ings. ADOLPHUS BUSCH, President"
The reference to the eagle will be readily
recognized as applying to the well known
trademark OF the largest brewing association
In any country This trademark consists
Of a large A and an eagle with wings out
spread.
During the year 1900 the output Of this
association reached its highest point, which
by far exceeds that Of any competitor al
home or abroad.
Their watchword has ever been mot how
cheap, but how good" and the purity ant
satisfaction Of their products has entitled
them to the patronage they are receiving
from discriminating public in every coun
try in the world.

PLANNING TO BRING HOME VOLUNTEERS
Practically Decided That the Return-

ss Near as Possible 10 Place
of EnIistment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senators Proc
tor and Burrows of the senate military
committee had long conference with Sec
retary Root at the War department today
IN regard to the military situation in the
Philippines. with special application to the
bill providing for an increase Of the regular
army now under consideration in the SEN
ate. Just before the conference the sec
retary talked with a number OF newspaper
men. In the course of the conversation he
said there was no foundation for the state
ment published in some newspapers that
ne had predicted that the troubles In the
Philippines would end with the reelection
of President Mckinley. He explained that
be had always avoided the making OF predlc-
tions in any matter and he certainly had
never made the prediction in question about
the speedy termination of the Philippine
troubles. The nearest he had ever come TO
doing so was in his last annual report to
the president when he summed up the mil
itary requirements in the Philippines as
demanding $4,000 men for the immediate
future. though this number might be pro-
gressively decreased by the restoration OF
order, the creation of a native police and
the use OF native troops in place Of Amer
leans. We should acquire permanently an
army OF ABOUT OU,VUV AHeTlCdu tToopSt ue
baid. and during present conditions in Cuba
and the Philippines about the present num-
ber, 100, 900, would be required.
In answer to a direct question, Secretary
Root said that final arrangements for the
return OF the volunteers from the Philip
pines would not be made until congress had
Indicated its intention with regard to their
replacement by fresh troops.
One thing settled. however was he said
that the volunteers brought back to the
United States would be mustered out at
points as near their places of enlistment
as possible. and not at San Francisco as
was originally intended. In explanation OF
this plan of action he said II was based
on the experience gained in the muster
out OF the volunteers at the close of the
Spanish war. when It was found that the
pines spent all their money in places OF
amusement in San Francisco and were
financially unable to continue the journey
to their homes. II the secretary stand:
by his announced program IL is said that
II will completely upset the tentative ar
rangements already made by the adjutan
generals and the Quartermaster's depart
ments. which contemplate the mastering
out OF all the volunteers at San francisco
and their transportation to their homes as
individuals at reduced railroad rates. Tn,
plans reached point where the transporta
tion companies had prepared a schedule o
rates between San Francisco and all points
In the United States.

George Stephen, a machinist residing al
1921 North Eighteenth street, complained to
the police last night that his wife had left
home late in the afternoon, taking with hei
81 900 of his hard-earned savings. He of.
fered a reward of $500 for her return, dead
or alive. His story seemed improbable, but
he was so earnest about 1t that officers
were detailed to investigate the matter.
They found that stephen had driven his
wife from home because she refused TO give
him 10 cents for a can of beer, She re-
turned after he left, and was there wher
the officers arrived. To them she told hel
story and said she would appear against

He was accordingly taken in custody by

Fires shot After shot.
The bandit fired shot after shot at his
pursuers, which were returned with inter-
est and took effect, for his tracks were
marked by continued trail Of blood on the
snow. One OF the last shots struck him in
the leg and he dropped. Officer Crawford
helped him into the wagon and at 4:S0
they started to drive to Fremont, 1t having
been thought best not to take him through
either Scribner or Hooper, as the temper
OF the people there is such that the man
would no doubt be lynched.

miles from Scribner the sheriff, his deputy,

limp. The 220-pound sheriff and his
deputies gave fast chase. 1t was the run
of lifetime across fields, through wire
fences, down roads and across streams. He
finally tried to enter farmhouse, but It
was locked. Here he was overtaken and
covered by the sheriff of Cunning county

The republicans of Crawford county
are under great obligations to those of
their neighbors who have kindly and
strongly endorsed the two Crawford
county giants, Gov Shaw and Congress-
man Conner. Crawford county is not
asleep and it has an obseryant eye
upon the acts of its friends and mem
DRY tuned to gratitude. All attempts
thus far made to drag Crawford county
leaders into factinnal fights have tlatiy
failed sand we believe they will fail.
Thus it happens that Gov. Shaw and
Judge Conner have warm friends in all
camps and that they will come out of
| the present struggle with the united
support of all who love fair play.
Naturally such a course will be ad.
versely criticised by those violent
partisans VINO demand a factional att
tude regardless of the fitness of things
or the feelings of others. But the wise
and conservative element which we he
lieve largely predominates, although
it is not saving so much. will recognize
that both Shaw and Conner have taker
the right course in remaining on
neutral footing.
