"The Right of Way" "

Mr.. Sandford Dodge, so long identi-
tiea with the classic drama has secured

This is a dramatization of Sir Gilbert
Parker's beautiful novel by Eugene
Presbrey. 1t was originally produced at
Wallack's theatre, New York City by

powerful dramas of modern times. The
characters of Charley Steele, the bril-
liant criminal lawyer; Joe Portugais
his French Canadian friend, Rosalie
Eventural, the rose of the mountain and
many of the other roles are already stage
classics. Not to have seen this Won
derful play is to miss seeing one of the
worlds greatest modern dramatic
creations. Mr.. Dodge will present this
at the Langdon Theatre Tuesday Sept.
26th. The scale of price will be made:so
that every one who desires, may attend.

Wanted for Crime at
Manitou, Man.
DAVIS HAS LONG
CRIMINAL RECORD
Fierce Man Hunt Started Week Ago
Ends When Davis is Trapped by
Hannah Farmers--Now Lies in
Morden Was Identified by
His Victim Here in Langdon

"Bill' Miner who later stated that his
name was Ed. Davis, and has since then
been identified as George Gibero, who
enlisted from Wapheton, N. D., for+
services in the U. S., army in the Pull
lipine, during the Spanish-American
war, was captured and placed under
arrest Saturday forenoon, three miles
southwest of Hannah, IN this county on
the Aallissey farm charged with crimi-
nal assault upon and abduction of Miss
Elleanor Gradys Price the school teacher
in the Pembina river valley district,
near Manitou, Man. His capture was
effected after having eluded the Cana
dian mounted police and a posse from
two hundred to five hundred men since
the commits sion of the CRIME last Monday
which had aroused the whole southern
Manitoba to pitch of excitement never
before seen. lie fell into trap laid by
farmers and was arrested with little
effort.
Saturday about noon the captors 0
Davis at Hannah telephoned the sheriff
to take the man in charge until his dis
position either by the Manitoba or Cali
fornia authorities was decided on.
Davis was brought to the county jail
here in Langdon by Sheriff Drury and
his deputy Geo. Montgomery of Wales,
arriving in Mr.. Drury's automobile
about three o'clock that afternoon.
He was positively identified late on
Saturday afternoon by Miss Price, who
was brought here from Manitou by
automobile, as the man who abducted
her and treated her to such indignities
that if captured in Canada, it's doubt
full if he would have been granted the
courtesy of a trial.
The Canadian officials arrived here
within few hours of the time he was
placed in the county jail to get Davis
back into Canada for trial. AT first
Davis showed disposition to fight
ex.radition, but later he weakened in
his decision and accompanied the Cana
dain officers back Sunday afternoon.
The scene, when, Mt the court house'
Miss Price confronted her abductor
was one, the dramatic intensity Of which

eighteen months of said sentence and

with twelve other prisoners escaped
from the penitentiary; that he was sem
fenced to said California penitentiary
for the crime of highway robbery: that
since that time this affiante has been
wandering and working through this
state and the western province of
Canada. and that Immediately after his
said escape he made his way to Buenos
Ayres where he remained until three
years ago.
Affiant further states that ON or about
Saturday Sept. l6, 1911, at or about the
hour of ten o'clock a. M, at the farm of
one Tim Hallissey in the County of
Cavalier and State of North Dakota, and
in the hay loft of the barn of said
Hallissey, said Davis was captured and
arraigned and taken into custody by
John 9. May and James +. Gleason,
jointly, both of Hannah, Cavalier county.
Further that he declares that he is
willing to be taken back to the state
of California without the necessity of
extradition. Dated at Hannah, North
the 18th day of September, 1911.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 10th day of September 1911.

Davis was removed from the county
Jail Sunday afternoon at four o'clock.
When the prisoner left here he was in
the custody of Chief of the Provincial
police Elliott, Assistant Attorney General
Graham, and Sheriff Drury. At Nor
den he was at once placed in Jail. He
waived a goodbye to local officials.
His decision to return to Manitoba
without the necessity of extradition was
reached when he learned that VIM,
Adams, the Snowflake, Man, hotel pro-
prietor whom he shot last Wednesday
night, was not dead, and proof that fact
was furnished to him in prison, Adams
coming to Langdon Sunday afternoon
at the request of the Canadian officials.
The Cavalier county authorities had
been quandry as to what action to take,
but finally acceded to the demands of
the Canadian officials, inasmuch as he
was arrested on a Canadian warrant
and furthermore that there was only
his own uncorroborated, statement that
he was an escaped convict from Cali
fornia.
Dispatches from Morden, Man., state
that il Miss Price can substantiate the
story that she told to the police after
the outrage of last Monday, and the jury
at the October assizes at Morden be-
lieves her, then the maximum punish
ment under the Canadian law is death
for her adbuctor and ravisher. The
minimum penalty is fourteen years,

prisoner was dramatic. The prisoner

was broken only by the Indifferent att-
tude of Davis. When Miss Price saw
DAVIS and was asked whether or not
that was the man, she replied that he
was. Davis recognized his victim with
a smile and a nod. Up to the time of
being confronted by Miss Price, Davis
steadily maintained that he know moth
ing about the school teacher. Later
this afternoon however, he confessed
the whole sordid details, exhibiting
little or no feeling in telling his story of
what took place during that terrible
period of thirty hours. He admitted
that he had "quite a scrap with the
school teacher"
Davis had laid aside his gun and part
of his clothes in shack on the Tony
johnson farm near Hannah Friday,
but spent most of his time in a straw
stack Saturday morning he came forth
and had talk with young farmer
with the result that he went to the
Hallissey farm, three miles west of
Hannah where breakfast was given him.
With Davis at the breakfast table one
of the boys on the farm mounted horse
and rode to the nearest telep hone,
notifying Hannah officials and half
hour later, after Davis had gone to a
'haymow, an automobile carrying the
Hannah party arrived.
Surprised in the haymow, and un-
armed, Davis submitted tamely. Jas.
F. Gleason got the drop on him, and as
Davis held up his hands he declared
that he would not have been so easy if
he had been armed and that Gleason
never would have gotten the drop on
him.
Davis declared that he wanted to be
taken to Hannah instead of Snowflake,
Man, evidently fearing violence should
he be taken to the latter place. In
Hannah he was held prisoner at the
State Bank of Hannah until the arrival
of Sheriff Drury from Langdon.
In the party effecting the capture of
Davis were O. B. Mcmillan. Lou Gard
ner, Charles Davis, Joseph Thompson,
James f. Gleason and Jack May
Davis seemingly had been on this side
of the line since Thursday nightor early
Friday morning, at the johnson farm,
where he remained practically all day
Friday while earchers were com bing
the Pembina river valley district in
Manitoba.
Fearful that he would be returned to
Canada and that he would have to face
the anger of the Southern Manitoba
posses that have been searching for him
brought from the captured man a con-
fession shortly before noon Saturday in
which he declares his rightful name is
Ed. Davis, that he is an escaped convict
from the California penitentiary and
that he is willing to return there to
complete thirty-three year sentence
for highway robbery. His statement
made before @. B. Mcmillan, follows:
"Said Davis being by me first duly
sworn deposes and says that he is
about thirty years OF age and that he is
the one and tho identical person who
was, on or about the year 1901, sentenced
TO thirty.three in the penitentiary al
