NOT DESERTERS,
BUT STRAGGLERS
Only 1923 Men Missing From
the WarshipS When the
Fleet Sailed.

Washington, July ia statement
was received today by Acting Secre-
tary Newberry OF the navy that makes
a showing for the Atlantic fleet, now
en- route TO the Orient, which naval Of
ficers regard as remarkable as it Is
gratifying. After the fleet sailed from
the west coast wireless message was
sent to Secretary Newberry giving the
number OF men absent from each YES
sci without leave. They included not
deserters, but what are known as stray
glers-men who have overstayed their
leave and failed TO join their ships in
time to sail.
The total number of such absentees
is only 129 out of the nearly $4,000 on
the fleet OF the 129 absentees the Con-
necticut reported 4, Minnesota. 6, Geor-
gia 16, New Jersey 2S, Louisiana 10,
Ohio II. Wisconsin 4, Kearsarge none.
Kansas s. Vermont 3. Nebraska IL,
Rhode Island 2, Virginia =, Missouri .,
Illinois l. Kentucky 6.
IL is likely that some of these men
may have been i'll. 1t was predicted
that on the arrival of the fleeu at San
Francisco there would be many deser-
tions, but this has proved not to lie
the case. Then men uniformly expressed
satisfaction and a desire to continue
the cruise.

WORK OF LIGHT FINGERS
Sneak Thieves Enter Ephraim Home
and Secure $35 in Cash
and Purse

Ephraim. July 13.-Sneak thieves en-
tered the home of James Armstrong on
Main street and stole a purse contain
ing about $500. 1t was the most mvs-
FERROUS theft that has been perpetrated in
Ephraim for many years, and although
several clews have been discovered. il is
doubtful II any of these will lead 20 the
apprehension Of the culprits
Mrs. Armstrong had laid her purse. com
tanning approximately $50 in currencv and
silver, on the sewing machine, near the
door of the kitchen, and was waiting on
customers in the furniture store. After
she had spent nearly an hour in the store
she was called upon to cash a check. She
went TO the house and found that fhe
purse had disappeared during her alb
Sence-
One of Mrs. Armstrong; daughters
was playing the piano in the parlor. while
the other was on the second floor of the
residence, and this made il easy for
the sneak thieves to operate As nearly
as can he learned, the only thing thai
transpired to furnish a possible clew was
the fact that a man was seen crossinp
the lawn during the time in which the
purse disappeared.
Sheriff Knudsen was notified by tele.
phone and was asked TO make an inves.
tigation. He has been working ON tn.
case, but thus far has not discovered
enough evidence TO justify him.in making
an arrest.
