ure, a net gain of over SO per acre
can be realized, according to the two
years experiment of A. w. Palm,

A SMOOTH CROOK
WRITES LETTERS TO SHERIFF.
WHO THREATENED TO PUT
HIM IN STRAIGHT JACKET.

Webster, Dec. Inject me in
Argentine, South America"
This was the greeting g n Sheriff
j.. c. Garrick, of Day county. by
Frank Lahman. the young boy auto
mobile thief who stole SO many auto
mobiles throughout the two Dakotas,
Minnesota and Montana during the
past two years, and who broke
through the brick walls of the Day
county Jail here October 5, and has
not since been heard from.
The greeting TO Sheriff Garriek
was on a postal card mailed from
Lakeland, Polk county. Florida, sew
eral days ago, and in addition IL con
look up relative TO other thefts Of
automobiles by Lahman during 1914,
no reports of which have been pre-
viously brought to the attention of
the sheriff. The card was signed
Montana SLIM a name Lahman had
taken upon himself while in Jail here.
Among the thefts which Lahman
sets forth on this card is that of A
Ford at Fargo. N. d., on August ii,
1914. which car he sold at Woon-
socket on August II. No word of
this had been previously received
here or laid at Lahman's door. An
other was of a car at Bozeman, Mont,
a few days later In the same month.
Other thefts of ears In South Dakota
and Montana We're set forth on the
card, but they were written in lead
pencil and can hardly be made out.
A phrase on the card Is BEST re-
cards to your straight jacket"
Lahman was Of a ~quarrelsome dis
position while In jail here, and Sher-
lift Garrick threatened him with con-
finement in a straight jacket unless
he ceased quarreling with the other
prisoners. This was just a few days
before his escape from Jail here.
On the date of his escape, Sheriff
Garrick was in Sioux Falls, having
taken a prisoner there for confine-
ment in the state penitentiary. When
the TAILOR locked up the prisoners fer
the night. Lahman hid on the outside
and in back OF the cages. The Jaiior
asked him III he was in" and he r..
piled that he was. Apparently salts
tied, the jailor made no investiga-
tion.
When the other prisoners were
asleep, Lahman broke the lock on tho
outer door of the Jail room which let
him into the outer office. Taking an
iron bar there he found little diff

large enough for him to crawl
through.
Then he displayed some more OF
his CALLING nerve, that nerve whica
has enabled him TO get by with the
sale of numerous stolen automobiles
where men Of less audacity would
have wilted and exposed themselve
TO suspicion.
Before making his exit through
the hole he had orr in the wall or
the Jail, Lahman sat down at the
sheriff's desk and wrote a farewell
note to the sheriff in which he sal I

Lahman Is a Brown county boy,
being lie sol of a prominent and
highly respected farmer nea IIecla in
the northern part of that county, He
Is but % years OF age. but has al
ready a checkered career which
would have landed him i'm the state
~ponitentiary for several years had he
remained here.
Among the thetts OF automobile
made in this state last year We're the
following
A car stolen at Berthold, N. d., in
June and sold in Chinook. Mont.
Stole a car from a contractor
named Ross ut Watertown, which lie
sold at McHenry, y. d.. early in July.
This car was recovered and ultimate
ly led to Che arrest of Lahman at
Darlington, n. D.. by Sheriff W yckoff
OF Brown county, and Sheriff Garrick
of this county.
The theft of 4 car from a banker
at Darlington. n. D.. which he sold to
u doctor at Howard.
Lahman is declared by officials o.
the three states to be one Of the
am%oothest crooks they have ever had
20 deal with. ard there Is some DOUBT
in the mtuu of Sheriff Garrick as 10
whether Lahman is really en- route 10
South America or whether he wrote
the card and sent IL to some friend In
Florida, who mailed 1t there as a
blind. II Is the firm belief of many
here that the latter Is the case. and
that Lahman Is not ont Of the mort
western states yet.

AS TO PREPAREDNESS
CONGRESSMAN DILLON OPPOSED
TO NATIONAL DEFENSE PRO
GRAM-SENATOR STERLING
FAVORS A CONSERVA-
TIVE COURSE.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 14.-Residents Of
South Dakota are at present display
ing a great deal Of interest in the
preparedness issue which is TO be
disposed of this winter by congress,
and in the attitude of the South Da-
kota delegation in congress.
Senator T.. s. Johnson. Of Yankton.
and Congressman Candy, Of Rapid
City, the democratic members OF the
delegation, 1t is believed. Will give
earnest and loyal support to the plan
of President Wilson. Congressman
Dillon stands by himself. SO far as the
republican members OF the delega-
ton are concerned. He is opposed to
any increase in the military or naval
strength Of the United States.
Senator Sterling, according to his
public utterances while in South pa
kota prior to the converting of con-
eress, favors a conservative prepared
ness policy, while Congressman Royal
G. Johnson il a firm believer in a
IRE paredness policy and has publicly
stated that the United States should
be increased until it occupies second
place among the navies of the world,
for I'm no other way, in his opinion,
will the United States be enabled to
protect It's citizens and It's foreign
commerce.
In the meantime the South Dakota
Peace society, which has among its
membership and among its officers
many of the leading men of the state.
Is strongly opposing the preparedness
policy, believing that such a policy
will lead to the United States becom-
ing involved In difficulties with other
nations which could be avoided under
the present strength OF the army and
navy Of the country.
While II has been regarded as rea-
sonabiy certain that the great bulk of
the progressive republicans of South
Dakota favor the candidacy of Sena-
tor %Cummins. of Iowa, for president.
there are thousands of republicans In
the state who are opposed 10 Senator
Cummins. In this connection, a re-
cent forecast of a leading Chicago
daily, which included South Dakota
in a list Of states said To favor the
presidential candidacy OF Lawrence
Y. Sherman, of Illinois. has attracted
some attention among South Dakota
politicians.
The Chicago paper states that Tx
Congressman Burke and Ex-senator
Crawford favor the nomination of the
Illinois man. For years the ex-con-
gresham and the ex-senator have
been strongly opposed to each other
I'm the South Dakota political game,
and that they both favor the same
man for president Is difficult of be-
lief, as for Ex-senator Crawford to
favor the same man as Is favored by
Ex-Congressman Burke would be re-
garded as little less than a miracle In
South Dakota. Interests friendly TO
the ex-senator, in discussing the re-
port of the Chicago paper, are EN-
phatic i'm the declaration that Ex-Sen-
ator Crawford has not yet publicly
stated whom he favored as the re-
publican nominee for president OF the
United States.
