MOTOR CAR AIDS IN CAPTURE
OF ESCAPED CONNECTS
Plows Through Miles of Hub-Deep
Gumbo Near Bismark, North Dakota

When six prisoners from the Bis
lected the worst roads leading from
that city, as an avenue of escape, re-
Gently, they acted without due con
sideration for the resourcefulness of
the United States Marshal in that
district
Noting that the roads were in such
wretched condition that even the
farmers were riding into town on
horseback, the prisoners selected the
worst road and succeeded in getting
some seventy miles southwest of Bis
mark before their getaway was
noted.
Casting about for method of
transportation, the Marshal and his
deputy selected the new Dodge
Brothers car owned by the Lambert
& Smith Livery Service as the best
available machine. The party we'll
heeled with firearms, started over
one of the worst roads in the state,
and made the trip successfully, al
though running hub-deep most of
the distance. Four of the prisoners
were captured and loaded into the
car, which then made the return trip
with seven passengers over the same
road.
In spite of it's heavy passenger
list and the terrible road conditions,
the Dodge Brothers car made the
last SO miles of the return trip in
one hour and twenty-five minutes.
Bismark motorists are still talking
of the cars record and Lambert &
Smith offer prize of a Dodge car to
any automobile owner who can dup
licate the performance.

great, round, silver dollars that danced and
glittered The vision of the little boy with
the nut-stained hands had disappeared, and
this had come in its stead, those bright allur-
ing dollars, dollars, dollars dollars that danced
before him through the gate up the muddy
road, and disappeared within that barn that
doomed black against the gray sky.
Although the rain had ceased, Bacon turned
up his coat collar and turned down the brim
of his soft hat. 1t was the involuntary action
of a man who is preparing to prize a lock.
"The old standards" he muttered, care moss
grown"
AS he lifted wide the sagging, heavy gate,
old with twelve little pigs, swinging
to her hungrily, came toward him with ques-
tioning nose. He gave her a vicious kick as
he climbed back into the buggy and took up the
reins
"You can get out on the road if you want
to- he growled. 81 am not going to fool with
that damned gate Indeed, the little boy with
the clear eyes and the nut-stained hands was
far away
When Bacon entered the barn the man that
stood stripping the clear, clean leaves of pun
gent tobacco from the stalks and tying them
into hands did not hear him. They were about
the age, these two men; but the tired,
dropping shoulders of the stripper made him
seem much older 1t the difference that
is usual between the man who makes his living
by the sweat of his brain and the man that
makes his living by the sweat Of his brow
AS Bacon's eyes rested the long, we'll
cured, brightly colored tobacco, he shot quick
glance at the man. great of exulta-
ton swept over him. Here was Opportunity
smiling as that goddess had never smiled be-
forel He closed his eyes for moment The
possibilities of that eight thousand pounds of
weed fairly dazzled him. That it could
be bought for song from that who only
used the sweat of his brow he felt quite sure.
That the man before him was totally ignorant
of the quality of the stuff he had produced he
was equally sure
Bacon cleared his throat and looked about
with expression of bored tolerance. The
man who was stripping looked up. Bacon
shifted as though something unpleasant had
greeted his nostri1s.
''She's getting little high he sad without
ceremony of greeting.
"Is you buying much p questioned the strip
per, looking at Bacon DULY, as if he had
known of his presence from the first.

nearer and glancing about with the practiced

knew this statement had no foundation in fact,
but a mere formula that had to be gone
through with "Pve been holding off I'm get

The stripper made comment. Bacon
began to throw hands of tobacco about, root
ing under various piles as though in search
of a skeleton.

Bacon, looking at the few sticks of tobacco
that remained.

high over the twisted nail the rusty chain hold
ing the lower gate in place, the water standing
in stagnant pools at his feet. He drew in his
foot and settled back into the vehicle, looking
gloomly at the stretch of muddy road that led
through the field to a barn that stood black
against the sky quarter of mile away.
"A man that goes after crop of tobacco
a day like this ought to be rewarded he NUT
tered grimly.
His horse, with ears flattened against his
head the rain pelted numerically, groaned
an assent.
Bacon dropped the lines over the dashboard,
drew up the leathern apron and snuggled back
under the robe with half-closed eyes. He
would not try the gate until the rain subsidized.
Notwithstanding the outlook of gloom and dis
comfort, there was an element of snugness in
the situation that gave him a vague sense of
pleasure; something that stirred within him
the memory of his boyhood, when he had
crouched under the dripping caves of the shed,
while the rain fell about him, and yet not
him, and planned and dreamed, and dreamed
and planned; always beautiful, noble gener
Gus things that had thrilled his boy soul in
admiration for himself He recalled his youth
full hero Jason as he went in quest of the
Golden Fleece. He recalled the words of the
old woman whom Jason carried across the
rocky stream: what are kings made for
save to succor the feeble and distressed"
Bacon indeed had started on the quest, he had
seen the rocky places; but had he assisted any
one but himself across?
He stirred uneasily and idly drew his gloves
from his hands. The white softness of those
hands struck him in sharp contrast with the
memory of the boy who nestled and dreamed
under the dripping shed. He recalled his
handsomely, rough, honest little hands that
had fought their way through boyhood, up
holding his creed of right, valiantly, sometimes
with violence. He smiled little sadly at the
memory, just smiles at the thought of
some dear child that given to brighten one
vivid patch of life.
The philosophy of life, which, a man, he
adopted, was strangely at variance with the
ideals of that little boy with the ut-stained
hands. The little boy had believed that educa-
ton meant an ability to uplift; the man be-
Heved that education meant an ability to out
wit. The little boy had believed that right was
might; the man believed that might was right
The little boy had believed to the victor be-
longed the glory; the believed ito the
victor belonged the spoils." The little boy had
believed DO unto others as you would have
others do unto YOU; the man believed do
others, or they will do you"
Bacon pulled himself together almost an
grily. This was time for ghosts of dead
ideals to walk. He turned his mind deter
minedly from the internal to the external. He
did not care to commune with that clear-eyed
little boy with the nut-stained hands no. not
today. He began to count the drops that fell
from the buggy top to the leathern apron.
Gradually, through his half-closed eyer those
drODS began RI shane into

turned his heel; he could not make the
offer that tremb1ed his lip with that picture
before him.
WALL" questioned the man, looking at his
one-time playfellow expectantly.
Bacon did not answer, but walked to the
other end of the barn. He threw wide the
door. The air within seemed close and oppres
sive, and, suddenly, the pungent odor of the
weed caused breath of nausea, dizzy sick
ness, he could not understand. The rain was
falling again, and the water dripped, dripped,
dripped from the caves. AS he stood there he
reached out his hands and the cool drops pe1ted
them. He placed his mostened fingers on his
brow, his lips, his burning eyes. With
his eyes closed, he could see still those crystal
drops falling, falling, falling All at they
seemed to form again into dollars, great,
round, silver dollars. Suddenly they formed
themselves into glittering chain that wound
itself around, and around and around him,
binding him hand and foot, while one great
snakelike end squirned itself toward the pa
tient figure with the tired shoulders and struck
it to the ground. Abruptly, by some trick of
the mind, the little boy with the nut-stained
hands appeared out of nothingness and lifted
the PROSTATE figure and 1ol when he opened
his eyes the chain that bound him had fallen.
Bacon turned back into the barn with the
weight of sudden resolve.
"No1es," he cried, and his voice rang with a
note of triumph, you have small gold mine
in here. This is the best crop of tobacco ]
ever saw; the demand for stuff of this quality
is unprecedented. Haul it into market and
I'll make it bring you little fortune"
Far over the ran-soaked fields there hoated
the voice of a woman singing she went
about the kitchen preparing the frugal meal for
the tired man with the bent shoulders.

By His councils guide uphold YOU

FEW HEAR PRoHIBITIoNIsTs

About twenty people were at the
opera house Wednesday evening to
hear the addresses Of DR.. John G..
Wooley and Rev. Geo. w. Morrow,
representatives Of the National Anti
Saloon league, who briefly spoke Of the
fight of the Anti-Saloon league which
they represent on the liquor traffic.
Rev. DR.. Morrow Of Detroit, Mich,
who was first introduced, reviewed the
successes Of the prohibition movement
up to this time and spoke quite opti-
mistically Of the future. He stated
that more than one-half Of the people
of the United States were now liv-
ing in prohibition territory and stated
that the greatest drawback to national
prohibition were the big cities in the
states Of New York, New Jersey, 1lli-
nois and Massachusetts,.
The speaker said that the Anti
Saloon league was now concentrating
almost all its forces on Washington
with a view to having congress adopt
an amendment to the constitution
allowing the states to vote on the
proposition. He predicted that con-
gress would, within the next five
years, adopt such an amendment and
that nation wide prohibition will be
brought about within the next few
years.
DR.. Jno. G. Woolley Of Chicago, ILL.,,
told his audience that he would not
make q set speech but would talk in
dress dealt with the political side OF
the temperance proposition. He dis
cussed the prohibition party at some
length, declaring that while the ma
jority Of members Of the prohibition
party were good Christian men, they
were not constructive statesmen and
poor politicians. For instance, he ex-
planned, q member Of the Prohibition
party might approach member OF
the Republican party and ask the lat
ter, Are you Christian" should the
the answer be returned in the affir-
native, the next question would be,
How can you be Christian and a
member Of q party which does not
endorse prohibition" The same
question, he argued, might be put to
a Democrat. This method, he pointed
out, is not we'll calculated to win re-
cruits to prohibition since every man
takes a natural pride in the political
organization with which he Is aftilt-
ated and is vexed when any reflection
is cast upon it.
The Anti-Saloon league, said DR..
Wolley, is endeavoring to win recruits
from the Democratic, the Republican,
the Bull Moose, the Socialist and
from all parties. The object Of the
movement is nation-w wide prohibition,
and he declared that the league would
never let up in the fight until the goal
had been reached.
The addresses Of both prohibition
speakers were heard with interest by
the small audience. During the meet
ing contribution was made for use In
the prosecution Of the fight against
the liquor traffic.

Our Advertisers.

We desire to call the especial atten-
ton of the York county public to the
individuals and firms who are using
the advertising columns Of The York
vile Enquirer, and to bespeak for
each and every one Of these individu-
ais and firms favorable consideration
in connection with all purchases.
OF the people who are advertising
in The Enquirer, we can say every
one is strictly business. They are not
spending their money on advertising
space as a matter Of personal vanity,
or as a charitable donation to the
publishers Of this paper They believe,
in fact they know, that the readers
Of The Enquirer include a very large
proportion Of the most liberal, pro-
gressive and intelligent people Of this
whole section, and they are paying for
advertising space in order to bring
their businesses and their especial at
fractions to the attention of these
people.
We do not feel that we have any
right to tell our readers what to do
We do not feel that our readers need
to be told what to do. We are quite
sure that they know enough to do as
suits them best without being told
But still, it gives us pleasure to testi-
fly as to the broad liberality and wide
awake progressiveness Of the people
who are using these columns in which
to present their claims for business
and we hope our readers will give
these claims their most favorable con-
sideration.
