SUPPOSED TO BE
SAFE BREAKERS

DETROIT. Mich. Dec. WHEN
James r. Mcnamara and Orric McMani-
gal were arrested here on tho afternoon
of April j. last The public gained no
knowledge OF the charges that were held
against the prisoners and even tho De-
troit police Who assisted tho Chicago do
tcctivcs in making the arrests were kept
in the dark SO FAR as any Los Angeles

cerncd.
The two prisoners were hurricdly taken
TO Chicago within a few hours and it was
not until April - thai the story OF their
connection with the destruction OF tho

public in Chicago.
When they wcrc tsri, en- from Detroit
they. were supposed 20 he notorious safe
breakers, possessing the most remarkable
XII OF tools ever seen by the Detroit po-
lice. They were registered as Orric Nc
Manigar y, and Frank Sullivan. u. both
OF Chicago.
Reports gained circulation that they
had been captured upon the eve OF initiat-
ing a campaign Of safe brcalting here and
that they had Just finished such a cam
paign In Chicago. II was, even limited
that they had designs against the new
$4,000 900 Michigan Central tunnel under
the Detroit river. but this rumor was
secuted by Michigan Central officials.
The unique burglar hit that attracted
so much attention at the time Of the
arrest was listed in the newspapers as
follows:
Five storage batteries

A Whole Lot of Potato

Smooth, of good color, and lacking
only the proper culinary touches to
makes it an appetizing meal for a fair
sized fam lily, a big brown potato occu-
pies the position of honor on top of the
desk in J. j. Nelson's office in the
Wells block in Aberdeen. And it
meritr that place, for the big murphy
weighs two and a quarter pounds, is
eleven and a half long, and lacks only
half an inch of a foot in circumference;
and in spite of its great size is firm
and solid and of excellent quality.
Mr.. Nelson says that it was grown
in a plot of a little over half an acre,
on which five bushels of seed were
used, and between 125 and $50 bushels
dug. All are of fine quality and
unusually large, and their proud owner
speaks of them as mortgage lifters'
because of the excellent returns made
for time and labor invested.

Will They Build Bridge

After a delay of several days in order
that legal formalities might be arranged
with the city of Chamberlain, the Mil
waukee road has again resumed work
on the filing in of a great dam from
the west shore of the Missouri river to
American island at Chamberlain, in
order that the entire volume lay be
diverted to the east side Of the island,
where the main channel is located.
Two train crews are filing in about
fifty carloads of gravel daily. Some
trouble is experienced in securing
sufficient men, 100 more being neces-
sary to push the work as d sired, when
about twice the present daily number
of carloads will be handled. 1t is the
general impression that the filling in of
this dam is but a preliminary step to
the construction of a new steel railroad
bridge from American island to the
east shore of the Missouri river, in
order to do away with the frequent
interference to travel by high water
with the present pile trestle crossing.

Caught With the Goods

Early Friday morning, while but one
clerk was on duty, two stranger:
entered the Hett Bros. store at Dallas
and while one of them engaged the
clerks attention by some small pur.
chases the other fellow took twenty-one
pairs of trousers from a shelf and con-
cealed them under his o~vercoat.
Detective A. G. Curtis, of Sioux
City, was given the case, and after a
short search he arrested William
Wildly, alias Hairlip Sam, and Ed
Haley. of Omaha, while they were
disposing of some of the stolen articles.
They we're given a hearing before

County Treasures Resigns

John J.. Maunu resigned his position
as county treasurer of Brown county
at the meeting of the board of county
commissioners Friday.
Clifford A. Lum, who has served for
several years as deputy, was appointed
to fill the unexpired term, or until
January /, 1913.
1t is understood that Mr.. Maunu has
for some time contemplated taking this
step, but for the most part his resig-
nation was a surprise. Nothing in
connection with the conduct of the
office is in any way responsible for the
resignation, as everything is in apple
pie order. Mr.. Maunu's health has
been such for some time that he could
not give as much personal attention to
the affairs of his office as he would
wish, and this is thought to have decided
his action. He was serving his second
term. having been elected to the posi-
ton in 1908 and reelected in 1910.

Killed "A Wolf

A Pierre dispatch says: Thomas
Phillips; one of the old time residents
in this part of the state, has been look
ing after wolves for several days. This
week he came uDon a huge gray wolf
near the mouth of Antelope creek
south of Fort Pierre and got the animal
with a rifle. He was a huge brute
weighing two hundred pounds, and
easily able to pull down a cow or colt.
Mr.. Phillips secured a special bounty of
fifty dollars from the ranchers in that
section for the killing of the brute,
and this with the hide and the state
bounty bring him about SOS for his
days hunt, and as there are more of
the same kind of wolves in that part
of the country he is continuing his
hunting in that direction"

How to Avoid Divorce.

My advice 10 husbands who wish to
avoid divorce is this: Don't quote
mother. Cali up your wife while al
business and ask how she is and tell
her that you called her up just to hear
her voice. Take her a box Of candy
one Of the new books that she Is IN
terested In, a flower, even IL 1t ia
faded and you have picked 1t up of
the street; a pretty pin or handker'
chief. and don't ever lay your head on
your pillow at night without having
done something to gain and obtain a
lrmer hold on your wife's love. Kiss
her every day. At least once a month
meet her downtown and take her to
dinner and the theater. Don't ever
stop counting. for as soon al you dc
some other man will begin. Make
your wife your companion. Take her
out with you. and when you have to
have a big time take your wife along
and the divorce evil will be Iessened

City Marshal John Schoch, of Her

Owsley is said to have rushed at him.
