Minneapolis, June 22-Confinement

til discharged by due process of law
or competent authority was the SEN
tence imposed today on Joseph w.
Bragdon, who on Saturday at the close
of his third trial was found guilty Of

Stay of execution was granted pend
ing argument on motion for a new

Bragdon will remain at liberty un-
der the $4,000 bonds now in effect,
provided the county attorneys office
decides the form of the bond valid.
Judge Fish had denied Bragdon the
sentence from three months to one
year in the county Jail. Unless pa
rolled or pardoned he must serve the
full term of seven years, less the time
allotted for good behavior, the maxi
mum of which would be about two
years. Bragdon showed strains ot
the sentence only once, when he heard
the word prison.

to take place this week, and a
wedding trip of four weeks had

When the call for troops came,
Mr.. Mckenzie wired his prospec-

Chihuahua City, Mexico, June o.
The seventeen American soldiers
negro troopers, of the Tenth cavalry
who were captured in the battle al
Carrizal, were brought here today
with Lem II. Spillsbury, Mormon
scout employed by General j. j.
Pershing, and were interned.
Spillsbury said that Captain Charles
r. Boyd commanded the Americans
and, with Lieutenant Henry r. Adair
was among the killed.
Captain Moore, who was with the
American detachment, was wounded
ibut., escaped. .,,... .,,.- .,.. :,
IN annoIncing this afternoon a story
of the battle, which he said Spillsbury
had told him, General Jacintot Trevino
commander of the military district OF
the northwest, announced that any
time and at any place the American
troops move other than the border, he
will comply to the letter with his SUI
perior's orders and will attack them
as General Felix Gomez did at Car.
rizal. .,..
Seventy-six in Detachment.
General TrevinO said that all dipiO-
matte arrangements are outside his
sphere.
Spillsbury's story as announced by
General Trevino was to the effect that
76 negroes comprising troop IL OF
the Tenth cavalry, with Captains
Boyd and Morree, Lieutenant Adair
and himself, composed the American
detachment that encountered the Mex
leans.
He said that he saw on the field
the dead bodies of Boyd and Adair
and at least seven of the negroes.
"After we had waited some time
Lieutenant Colonel Rivas came out
and warned Captain Boyd that he had
better turn back. Captain Boyd then
explained that he was in pursuit OF
some bandits, which he had heard
had looted Santo Domingo. and also
was bound to capture negro de
serter, who he had heard was in Villa
Ahumada.
Only Over Dead Bodies.
I'm reply to this Lieutenant Rivas
notified the Americans that if he at
tempted to advance he would have tc
pass over the dead bodies of the Mex
leans. He advised Boyd that he had
better not argue the matter.
"Rivas returned to the village to
report to his superior officer, General
Gomez, who sent out a note inviting
the Americans to enter Carrizal for a
conference Captain Boyd declined
this invitation.
ION this ground, Gomez went out
in person and insistently urged the
Americans to retire, pointing out that
his orders from his superiors neces
STATED his acting on them without fur
ther parley. General Gomez repeated
the words as he walked away. Boyd
merely answered, All right"
General Trevino's announcement
then goes on to quote Spillsbury as
saying that after General Gomez had
retired to his troops, who were lined
up outside the town, Boyd ordered his
men to advance, whereupOn Spills
bury argued with him, saying the fight
would follow. Spillsbury is quoted as
saying, Captain Boyd obstinately
seemed to think that the Mexican
general was only bluffing," and the
firing quickly began. He is quoted
further:
Men Left Behind.

palace could be more welcome. 1t
was furnished comfortably, it was
near the town academy, where he
was one of the professors. There
was a vegetable garden and fruit and
chickens. He settled down to prac-
teal housekeeping, a happy and con-
tented man.
Willis had accepted the house in
the city with some grand plans in
view. He grumbled because, with
the exception of a few hundred dol
lars at bank, his aunt had left no
liquid funds. By the end of year
he was established as a doctor with
a fashionable clientele and had mar
ried a lady more renowned for her
social elegance than either her intel
igence or means.
For Hector life went on evenly, en-
joyably. He was able to live and
save, and books were his hobby
Winter. evenings the little room he
called his library was a nest of rare
comfort. In summer time he sat on
the screened porch, which he had
furnished with a table, a swinging
lamp, chairs and a hammock.
Screened in, it was a favOrite pre-
cinct of peace and enjoyment.
And then, abruptly, delightfully."-,
romance came into his life. 1t was
like a chapter in some Old-fashiOned
story book, the circumstances under
which he met Eunice GraydOn.
Who but a visionary writer would
ever have imagined that the daughter
of the richest man in the village
would come to the modest humble
home as a guest, remain there two
whole hours and take in the odd en-
joyment plainly evidenced in her
bright, winsome face!
"Halloaw

and the latter hurried on OvercOat

tinued the other in an aristOcratic
way. My daughter, Miss GTaydOn,"
he introduced informally. The
sleigh tipped over, smashing a run

these horses home. Won't you give
my daughter shelter with your wom-

Surely, Mr.. GraydOn," bowed
Hector COUrteousIy, and he assisted
the young lady. through the snow
drifts and into the house.
There are no wOmenfOlk," he re-
marked, as Eunice GraydOn ran to
the coy fireplace and held out her
chilled hands with a little cry of
delight.
You surprise me-" she flashed
out, and he felt the warmth and sin
CeTity of the compliment as her
bright eyes took in the neat fur
LALoLAL450.H
And then they chatted. There was
no restraint. In her innocent girlish
way she told how she had attended
two of his lectures at the town hall,
and Hector inquired after the health
of her mother, a confirmed invalid in
whom the whole village felt it had
right to be interested.
1t was all too brief, that lovely
visit, and when Miss GraydOn left
Hector he insisted on providing her
with a warm wrap. From its place
in the old wardrobe the shawl his
aunt had so labOTiOUsly knitted was
brought forth. He thrilled as he
placed it about her shoulders. Then
the carriage that had come for her
took her away, and, returning to
the lonely room, for an hour Hector
stood gazing upon the chair where

stop Thief"

George Kleine's latest feature,
"STOP THIEF which comes to the
Rex Theatre on Saturday is founded
on the Conan & Harris stage play, by
Carlyle Moore. More than five hum
dred American cities have seen "STOP
THIEF" in its stage form and will
welcome the filmed version, which
reports say is even funnier than its
original.
To insure the best results, George
Kleine used the stage cast making
the picture. Mray Ryan, who
created the role of the light-fingered
maid, is seen in the lead with Harry
Mestayer opposite in his familiar
part of her sweetheart, Jack Doogan.
'tSTOP THIEF" is one of the
greatest laugh producing properties
on the American stage and the film
version with its greater latitude of
setting and action, undoubtedly
proves one of the most popular of film
comedies.

1t is a common practice for pick
pockets who have robbed victim to
turn and run, crying:
.Thief!'' "Thief!!"
Political pickpockets employ the
same methods. They cry Thief

cence that suspicion may be directed
to others. In Clearwater county for
three campaigns the people have
heard this familiar cry of Timber

have been solemnly and vehemently
warned lest they be robbed by citi-
zens who happen to differ with the
authors of these wild and incessant
charges. The people have been adj
monished to vote only for democrats

rible and overwhelming disaster to
the taxpayers of this county. The

fraud and deception, the following
signed statements published two years
ago, are still pertinent. That of
James Mccain, a farmer, comes from
a republican, but Frank Kolasa is
socialist and was prompted by an
unselfish desire to do the honest
thing by the people. Mr.. Kolasa had
an honest desire to know the truth;
he wanted to know the inside of the
case, and went to one of the men on
the inside, after the election was
over, for his information. These
letters are pertinent at this time.
Mr.. Mccain made the following
signed statement two years ago:

county campaigns the issue has been

republicans in power for the past
two years the people have had ample
opportunity to compare results and
to make comparisons.

their trust. They mismanaged the

accusations that the republicans were

and ! did not feel like supporting
any of them. Mr.. Zelenka answered
in substance:
" All the timber companies asked
for was square deal, and that the

they at least not find new brandt"
