Shane, the missionary who has been
working in Armenia through all the
misfortunes Of that country during

her through the Congregationalist
board Of missions. Miss Shane has
left the dangerous locality of Bit

gone to Harpoot, Turkey, where 1t
is believed she will be safe from all
dangers.

will not go back to Turkey until
after the war is ended.-Lawrence

The robbers who entered the ].
A. Hollinger store at Elmo have not
been apprehended. One suspect, a
German transient, was searched and
questioned by Deputy Sheriff Hin
chon but he was released without
arrest. Hinchon with others, spent
the night Sunday in the strawstack
where some of the stolen articles
we're located, but nobody showed
up. The local parties at Elmo sus-
pect members of a theatrical group
which played in Elmo last week of
being guilty or the robbery, but it
is thought there suspicious are un-
founded. Further investigation dis
closed that greater part of the
silks taken from the store were not
among the recovered goods.

CITY FURNISHED BEDS TO II
TRANSMITS SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday night eleven men, all
laborers, penniless and suffering
from the cold registered at the city
hotel (jaiD for the night. When
the beds were all filled Chief Engle
told others, who came to him ask
ing for a place to stay, that they
would have to sleep on the floor.
They Immediately replied that they
would be grateful, just as long as
it was warm. They kept the stove
red hot all night and those who
were not so fortunate as to have
beds, spread papers on the cement
floor and spent the night there.
Engle keeps the names of all who
stay over night. Saturday night
there was one from New York, one
from Wisconsin and Minnesota and
several from California. Every east
bound train brings in one or more,
most OF them from California and
some from Colorado who have left
because of the lack Of work. One
registering Saturday night was a
brewery workman from Denver,
whom prohibition left unemployed.
Every night one or more stay in
the city jail and earn their break
fast by an hours work at the city
hall. Saturday nights registration
was the largest this winter.

RECOVER STOLEN GOODS
Find Loot of Robbers Who Entered
Elmo Store Friday Night
IFrom Mondays Daiiyl

Burglars gained entrance to a
store at Elmo Friday evening and
made their getaway with about
5000 worth of merchandise, con-
sisting of silks, shoes, watches and
clothing. The loot was found Sum
day morning by searchers in a
straw stack along the Missouri Pa
cific right-of-way five miles east of
Elmo and mile west of Dillon. All
of 1t was recovered with the excep-
ton Of two watches and some cloth
ing, which the proprietor claims is
missing, after a second invoice. The
county officers here were notified
Saturday afternoon and have been
working on the case. 1t is thought
to be the work of an organized gang
which is working the small country
town stores, as the tactics employed
in each case are similar. 1t is their
game to hide the stolen goods in
some place and after they have es-
capped and things have quieted down
they come and get their loot and
make an easy getaway with it.
