REVEAL IDENTITY
HARRY MONTGOMERY, WANTED
IN ILLINOIS, CAPTURED BY
SHERIFF BENSON.

Emerald, N. d.. Aug. 7.-While driv-
ing a hay mower on q farm about six
miles south of Emerald yesterday aft
ernoon, a laborer, known here as John
Day, was suddenly grasped by the
strong am Of the law in the person or
Sheriff Joseph u. Zenson and address,
ed as Harry Montgomery, wanted by
Sheriff William .S~chaffenacker of Lin
coin, Ill, on a charge Of having COM
mitted a statutory offense. Day at
first declared that he was not the par
ty wanted, but was requested to open
his mouth by MI. Benson, and the
sheriff noted the tell-tale gold teeth,
which were included in the description
sent from Lincoln. Later, realizing
that the deception was not a go, he ad-
mitted that he was Harry Montgom-
cry, the maj wanted. and accompanied
Sheriff Benson to the county Jail,
where he was locked up.
Montgomery is about 81 years old
and has been married for some time.
He was charged with committing q
statutory offense by a young girl at
Lincoln and deputies were sent after
him. AT that time he was in the Sec
ond story Of a house at Lincoln and,
learning that the sheriff was after him,
he climbed out Of an upstairs window,
and, grabbing hold of the sill, dropped
to the ground and made for the rail-
road yards, where he succeeded in
catching a freight train and later
reaching this state.
Through correspondence that the
young man had with friends back
home, Sheriff S~chaffenacker traced
him to Emerald.
Montgomery had been indicted by
the grand jury and will be given a
hearing on his arrival in Lincoln.
Sheriff ~schaffenacker notified Sheriff
4I1A. N-&-1 60 10
sary papers for his conveyance to Lin
coin, but he agreed to waive extradi-
ton and to accompany the officers
without trouble.

When thou Hest alone,
All, the sounds that are blown
In the freaks of the breeze,
BY the spirit that sends
voice Of far friends
With the sigh of the seas
In the night!
In the night, in the night,
When thou Hest alone, q

From the days that are sped:
The old dreams, the old deeds,
The old wound that still bleeds,
And the face of the dead
In the night
In the night, in the night,
When thou Hest alone,
With the grass and the stone
Ger thy chamber so deep,
All, the silence at last,
Lies dissonance past,
And only pure sleep
In the night!

Natures Balance Of Power.

In view Of facts, one is almost WILL
ing to accept the statement Of a we'll
known French scientist, who has as
serted that without birds to check the
ravages of insects, human life would
vanish from this planet in the space
Of nine years. But for the vegetation
the insects would perish; but for the
insects the birds would perish, and
huG for the birds vegetation would be
destroyed. Nature has, therefore,
formed a delicate balance of power
which cannot be disturbed without
bringing great loss and unhappiness
TO the world.
