betrays overheard condolences OF

ENDERLIN PEDDLER
HAD NO LICENSE

Enderlin, N. D., May 15.-Excitement
over the capture of a young man sup
posed to be a member Of a box car
gang Of robbers ran high. when Harry
Clarke was arrested for peddling with"
out a license.
Clarke pleaded guilty to the charge
of peddling without a license. He was
fined SO and costs by the magistrate.
Not having the money he was set to
work on the streets, but his laboTs
lasted only a few minutes, for he made
a quick getaway.
The question which has bothered the
authorities since he escape, Of the
young man is, Where did he obtain
the carton Of tobacco which he was
trying to SELF" Some believe he stole
it from freight cars and others are as
positive in their assertions that he was
a fence for a number of bandits that
have worked along the 500 line Cor
some time. The officers are on the
lookout for the erstwhile peddler.
