CAUGHT HORSE THIEF.
Sheriff Beck Nabs a Man For Whom
He Has Been Searching. I

The visitors to the tournament at
Red Lake Falls were treated to a lit
tile excitement on Thursday evening,
when a horse thief who is wanted in
North Dakota was nabbed by two
North Dakota sheriffs. s3g s9
The sheriffs were John A. Beck, OF
Washburn, Mclean company, and
Sheriff Javanger, OF McHenry county.
and the man they captured was going
under the name of George e. Grey.
He is said to be a member Of gang
of horse thieves which have been OPP
Grating in North Dakota for the past
several months and he was stranger
in Red Lake Falls. He came to that
place from Thief River Falls in an au-
tomobile and was doing a rushing
business taking people to and from
the grounds where the sports were
pulled of and about the city. It ap.
pears that he rented the automobile IN
Thief River Falls and had no idea that
he was being tracked. q
The North Dakota sheriffs had been
on his track for months and 1t was
only early this week that they located
their man definitely The gang TO
which Grey. whose real name IL said
to be Cannon. belongs has been carry.
ing on high handed thieyery for over
IA year and the officers believe that
they are on the trail Of a number of
the other members and will eventual.

TO CHEW OR NOT TO CHEW.

Apropos of the reported disagree
ment between Chief Wiley of the
bureau of chemistry of the depart
ment of agriculture and Prof. Iry-
ing of Yale university, as to whether
meat ought or ought not to be chew
ed thoroughly, news now comes from
Yale that Horace Fletcher, the ad-
vocate Of chewing meat and every
thing else, has just submitted to the
first of series of endurance tests
under DR.. Anderson, director of the
Yale gymnasium. The test was made
on Prof. Fishers new apparatus for
measuring endurance, and sets re-
cord for that machine which is dou-
Bile the best record hitherto made.
DR.. Anderson states that Mr.. Flet-
cher is in his fifty-ninth year. All the
other subjects tested are from fif-
teen to forty years younger. Other
tests, on chewers and non-chewers,
are to follow. Prof. Fisher empha-
sizes the fact that he has never stat
ed any opinion as to the advisability
OF chewing meat in particular, and
has taken pains to confine himself
strictly to facts, merely recording
the results of actual experiments.
He IS not, as Mr.. Wiley is reported
to nave said, a vegetarian; neither
is Prof, Chittenden, Prof. Mendel or
Dr.. Anderson. No experiments have
been made at Yale In the hybrid sys-
TEN of thorough mastication Of GER
eals combined with the boiling of
meat. It is up to the advocates of
this system to show that those who
practice it can surpass Mr.. Fletcher
in endurance. DR.. Wiley has repud-
lated the newspaper accounts Of his
on Prof. Fishers expert
ment. He merely states that meat
eating animals bolt their food, and
cereal eating animals chew theirs
thoroughly. But if we humans, who
live on mixed diet, must chew our
bread and bolt our ham, what are we
to do witt a ham sandwich
