If Mack wants Benz bad enough
he can have him, and he has Just

for the finger. So Cal has better
chance to make an advantageous
trade. There are one or two good
outfelders on the Mack roll who
would look mighty cute in pale hos

hitting, fast fielding youngster, who
has a strong arm, and is also able
to move about after he gets on base.
Jimmy Walsh is another Of the same
brand.
Mack has a surplus of outfieIders
and would no doubt be willing to
make terms for one Of the pair. They
have played several games this year,
but are hardly up to the standard of
OIdring, Strunk and Murphy. Few
outfelders are.

THIEF LANDED
AFTER TWO YEARS

jamestown, N. D., Feb. 5e-A tele-
gram from M~urfreesboro, ILL.,, received
today by States Atty. Russell D. Chase
indicates that the officials at that place
have in custody Harry Bradley, alias
Harry Tavis, alias Harry Denton, who
in 1910 stole a valuable team from a
Stutsman county farmer, and left for
parts unknown.
Bradley was employed as a farm Ia
borer by ]. Campbell near Cleveland,
in this county, and in September, 1910,
under permission from his employer,
started for Griggs county with Camp
bells team and a wagon to work for
farmers in the vicinity of Cooperstown.
He was last seen in Courtenay on Sept.
8, and after six weeks time. Campbell,
who had heard nothing from his ern-
ploye, instituted search n spent a.
weeks time in an endeavor to trace
Che team without results.
Three thousand post cards containing
q description Of Bradley were mailed
to every part of the United States and
as q result the thief was arrested In
Murfreeeboro, nearly two years after
the offense was committed.
States Attorney Chase is inyestigat-
ing the facts and circumstances sur
rounding the case, and has wired the
authorities In Illinois to ascertain
whether Bradley will return without
extradition. The crime with which he
Is charged Is embezzlement.
