CROOKS CAPTURED
FOUR BAD MEN PICKED Up IN
ABERDEEN WITH STOLEN
CLOTHING.

Aberdeen, March 5.-Four men,
thought to be members of a gang
which has been robbing small stores
In South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota
were arrested in this city, and are be-
ing held until investigation can be
made of several of the robberies. 1t
Is thought by local authorities that
investigation will show these men
know something of the robberies and
very likely have some of the stolen
goods with them in this city.
The men arrested were j. S. Roach,
Iowa City, Ia; j. Ryan, Rockford,
ILL.,; NJ. j. Gray. Butte, Mont; Geo.
Kelley, Cedar Rapids, Ia. Ryan's
true name is thought to be Patsy
Carroll, whose home is in Mankato,
Mimi, and who has just finished a
ten year term in the state peniten-
tiary for a robbery committed at
Springfield, a number OF years ago.
Roach was arrested by c.. w.
Hurst, superintendent of police, and
Patrolman Byron McVeigh. while
peddling some clothing among the
Greeks near the Milwaukee yards.
At the time he was apprehended
there, Kelley was with him, but as
soon as Kelley found out the police
were on his trail, he left hat vicin-
ity and went to the Green Front sa-
loon on Main street, where he was
arrested shortly after.
About thirty minutes later Gray
and Ryan were arrested in the room
ing house over the Hungry Mems
s-E. - 49, G.- - 49,
ing since coming to Aberdeen from
Mitchell on Sunday evening. Wear
ing apparel, wrapped in a bundle,
was found on Roach and Gray, and IL
is known hat they sold about $50
worth of clothes or Monday. When
found they only had a few dollars,
but the authorities think they have
more money hidden.
One of the men is alleged to have
told a person to whom he was trying
to sell some of the goods, that the
clothing was stolen and that he had
more of the same kind. together with
some jewelry and shoes in his trunks
which had not arrived here at that
time, but were expected. These
trunks will be seized by the police,
If they can be located. The police
think there is another gang in the
southern part OF the state. which Is
sending the loot TO this city for sale.
The police were put on the trail OF
the men after being notified that sew
eral men were trying to dispose OF
some clothing In the Greek shacks
along the Milwaukee tracks. An in
vestigation was made at once, with
the result that Roach and Gray were
arrested at once, and later their two
pals were found.
The gang is thought TO have come
to Aberdeen on an extra freight train
from Mitchell some time Sunday
evening. 1t is thought they left
Mitchell about 2 o'clock in the after
noon. 1t Is likely that charges oil
peddling without a license will be
placed against the four men, until
such time as an investigation can be
made as to their past records. The
police are positive that the gang is
wanted elsewhere on the charge oil
robbery. A total of about SIS in
money was all that was found on tbs
men outside of the clothing.

THE Legislature
MADISON STATE NORMAL RE
CEINES A SPECIAL APPRO-
PRIATION OF $50 900.
c. Burt Reynolds

Pierre, March 5.-The senate
voted $4,000 for a girls dormitory
at Brookings college and the house
voted $4,000 for a training school
II Madison. The $4,000 appro-
priation for a Irvine plant at the pen
itentiary was killed In the senate,
but that body voted $1,000 for a pen
itentiary barn and stock and $4,000
for the purchase of a stone quarry.
The general appropriations bill was
hurried along in the house by Nc
Farland of Codington, who moved
the previous question after a num-
Der of amendments were made.
With the senate statewide prohi-
bition amendment being adopted by
the house with a vote of II to 16 and
the house equal suffrage amendment
being adopted by the senate, the re-
form forces have their work cut out
for them in the state campaign of
1916 TO secure the votes to carry
both of these issues cross the ma
jority line at the polls. While sev-
eral dry measures have been present
ed at the session this winter, the only
ones which have gone through are
the amendment for statewide prohi-
bition, TO go into effect July /, 1917,
and another bill reinstating in the
statute the provisions which require
a majority of all votes cast at an cleo
tion for any purpose to carry liquor
license In a town. Two years ago the
words voting on that subject" were
slipped into the law after the record
showed that every attempt to get this
amendment had been voted down.
The house passed the new primary
bill with enough votes on the final
showdown to prevent its being re-
ferred TO the people, and Ii Will be a
law as soon as Ii receives the sigma
ture of the governor. This eliminates
a campaign this year unless r. O
Richards can get a decision from the
supreme court that the Legislature
had no right to amend the act he
initiated four years ago.
The much talked of textbook bill
which passed the house early in the
session, went down to defeat in the
senate after being denounced as
Sears-Roebuck scheme and a plan OF
the book companies to dump all theil
old out of date books on this state.
The governor SEN the following
appointments to the senate yesterday
afternoon: Board of charities and
/ corrections, w. III. King of Mitchell
vice s. III. Blackwell, deceased; War

KILLS FAMOUS RESORT
Palace at Prescott, Ariz., Abandoned
ON Account OF Prohibition Law.

Prescott. Ariz., March 5.-The
Palace. a famous drink and dance re-
sort, established here more than
twenty-five years ago and so widely
known in the mining districts. is to
be abandoned because of the prohibi-
ton law. Its proprietor, Johnny
Lindell is going to establish a ranch
and summer resort hotel at Oak
Creek.
The only signs of activity about
the old place will be in the rear of
the basement, where a Chinaman will
conduct a laundry.
Probably no other saloon in the
southwest had a fame equal to that
of the Palace. When Prescott was a
newer town and Its gates were always
open to 'spenders" from the Da-
kotas. Montana. Wyoming, Colorado,
New Mexico, Utah, California and
Mexico. the Palace was in the height
of its glory. 1t was the mecca of the
thirsty, the loaing place of the dane
ers. the show place for the tender
foot. Its dance hall boosted a big
pipe organ, one OF the few instru-
ments of that kind in southwestern
saloons, and its music was joined
with the whirr of the dancers. the
click of the faro checks and the hum
of the roulette wheel. There were
hooks for parties and dancing girls
and singers.
1t required the service OF fifty to
seventy-five employees to operate the
Palace. and those whom they served
run into the tens of thousands. Here
newspaper correspondents got much
of the dope" that gave Prescott an
international reputation, and here
loafed the magazine and short story
writer's who gathered plots and frag-
ments of stories of real life In the
wild west.
