WILLING TO BUY
WAY into CORPS
Charles Sperry of Duluth,
Makes Heroic Attempt to
Join Marines.
OFFERS SERGEANT $40 BILL
Has to Be Turned Down, However, as
His Eyesight Failed to Stand
Test Which is Required.

Determined to enlist in the marine
corps of the United States navy, even
though it was necessary to buy his
way in, Charles Sperry, youth
from Duluth, Mimi, presented him
self at the local recruiting station
in the State bank building yester-
day, and asked to see Sergeant T. K.
Kilcourse. He stated that he want
ed to become a marine and accord
ingly he was given a physical exam
ination. This showed that his eye
sight did not come up to the stand
ard required by the marine corps
and he was told that he could not
enlist. He thereupon left the office,
apparently very much disappointed.
Offers Bride to Sergeant.
Later in the day young Sperry re-
turned to the recruiting station and
again asked to see the sergeant He
produced a $40 bill and offered 1t
to the marine, saying: Sergeant. if
you will overlook my disability and
pass me, you can have this and there
will be more coming to you later"
The sergeant, of course, had to re-
fuse the offer, much as he would
have liked to pass the young fellow
on and give him the chance to see
the world which he craved after.
Inasmuch as poor eyesight was the
young fellows only bad feature ply
vent him from enlisting as he would

If That Doesn't Cure Him of His At
tachment for Rock Island He
Will Be Sent Down for go.

Barney Farley, who halls from
nowhere and who is bound for the
same place, just couldn't leave Rock
Island without seeing more of the
place, and the result is that he is
at the county jail for a 15-day stay.
Barney drifted into the city several
days ago and he at once developed
a liking for Rock Island booze and
on several occasions he took such
a large cargo of it aboard that he
could navigate only with difficulty.
He spent several evenings at the
police station sleeping off jags, and
Tuesday he was warned that the
city of Rock Island was not large
enough to hold him comfortably and
that he was to beat it at once in or
der to avoid a Jail sentence. He
promised to go and started out man
fully, but fell by the wayside, and
yesterday he was picked up as drunk
as he could be. This morning the
police magistrate made good on his
promise of a Jail sentence and sent
the fellow down for 3 days. He
was notified that it would be a CO.
day sentence next in case he failed
to get out of town when set free
by the sheriff.
