|HE ADMITS HIS ACTIONS
Passed Several Bad Checks on
Business Men.
Makes Desperate Effort to Set
tie Up Accounts.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Dutton. formerly
OF Blue Rapids. are now in the Shaw
nee county Jail awaiting q hearing on a
charge of defrauding a local hotel out
Of board bill. Dutton will be charged,
also with passing two bad checks while
in Topeka last week. They were ar
rested at Oklahoma City on a telegram
from Sheriff L. L. Kiene, who brought
them back Sunday. The buttons are

paths Of wickedness. and both of them

Dutton has a record of being a bright
boy at college. He went to Baker Uni

sweetheart, who had been married and

to make a living. he told the sheriff.

smuggled out his wife on a pretext that
they were going to visit a dentist to
treat severe tOothache which she had
developed, and took an Oklahoma City
train. They were handled as hard
characters by the Oklahoma City police
and both showed signs Of heart-break
when they reached the county Jail in
Topeka Sunday.
They claim it is their first false step.
He Admits All.
At the sheriff's office this morning
Dutton was confronted by the store
keepers to whom he gave the bad
checks and he acknowledged giving
one for $40 to Ell -Ulamperi, another
for $14 to the Hirschorn Millinery
store. and other for SO. Besides this
he eloped from the hotel where he
owed SIG board.
Under the advice of Ed Rooney, his
attorney. Dutton made a clean breast
of his transactions here to the officers
and Is making a desperate effort to
settle up the various claims against
him. He will have, to- face an addi-
tionaI expense OF ST involved in
bringing him and his wife back from
Oklahoma City.
Local officers seem disposed to help
him settle his difficulties as the young
man is evidently penitent and there is
much sympathy for the wife.
"Dutton isn't a bad sort, at all" de-
clared Sheriff Kiene today. Hes
been very foolish, that is all. II he
gets out of this scrape I think he can

It; 1t also represented the thirteen col onies by the thirteen stripes.
 As the eolonists gradually became converted to the idea that independ- ence from the mother country was nec- essary they began to modify the flag, first by leaving of the union jack and using only the thirteen horizontal stripes. The modified flags were not al- ways red and white, but regularly con- sisted of combinations of two cOlOrs selected from red, white, blue and vel low. The final modification was the re- placement ofEthe union jack by the white stars on a blue field,
 The stars are the only distinctive fea- ture of the American flag. The charm ing story which credits Betsy Ross with making the first flag of stars and stripes is still accepted by historians. When Washington suggested the six pointed star she demonstrated the ease with which a five pointed star could be made by folding a piece of paper and producing one with a single clip of the scissors.
 The official adoption ot our first flag was lu TIT. On June 14 of that year the Continental congress passed an act providing that "the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing new constellation" The thirteen stars were arranged in circle to symbOllze the perpetuity of the union of the states.
 Vermont was admitted to the Union in 179l, and Kentucky in l792. It was felt that these two new states ought to be recognized on the flag, so in l794 congress passed an act making the flag fifteen stars and fifteen stripes
 This remained tbe flag of the United States throughout the war of 1912, un- til there were twenty states in the Union. Tn 1916 an effort was again made to modify the flag so that all the new states would be represented on it To be continually adding stripes would make the flag very awkward in shape and appearance, so after arguing the matter for two years congress decided to return to the original thirteen stripes and one star for each state.
