HE STOLE FUNDS
Ticket Agent of Lake Shore
Gives Up When Confronted
by Sweetheart.

That he might escape disgrace in
the eyes of his fiancee. Archie frost,
night ticket agent at the Lake
shore depot, faxed story of a rob
hery and made away with $3.50 in
cash and $500 in checks, according
TO the confession which frost made
to railroad officials last Sunday
morning at local police headquar-
tiers. The girl had given frost $500
to keep for her and he spent the
money Then he devised the rob-
berry plan TO recover the amount
and throw the police off the trail.
Not until he was confronted by
the girl. whom he is soon 10 marry
and who was brought here from
Walkerton, her home, by railroad
officials, would frost say anything
about the robbery. When the girl
came frost told the officials that he
had given her $500. The girl de-
MED receiving the money and then
frost confessed. Later the girl
turned over the $500 to the COM
pany.
By destroying the checks and al
so two 500 bills which were in the
sack which frost said he started 10
carry TO the express office, the young
man was able 10 fool the police for
four weeks. He has been under sur
veilance by the railroad detectives
all this time. however.
he
girls father made up the balance of
the money and rendered it to the
railroad officials. Eager to receive
their funds and out of sympathy for
the girl and youths mother, who
is a cripple, the company agreed to
drop the case against frost.
Friday night frost was arrested
on a charge Of petit larceny. the ac-
cusation being that he short chang
ed a ticket buyer and did not turn
the money over to the company. He
was held in Jail until Sunday morn
ing where the local and railroad pO-
lice began quizzing him.
At the time of the robbery the
case looked suspicious to the rail-
road detectives. Although frost said
that he had been dealt a terrific
blow on the left side of the head,
there was no mark on his head and
in answering questions asked him he
acted peculiar.
frost had no accOmplice's or
friends, who were in with him
on the haul. according 10 the story
he told the railroad men.

DEMONSTRATE FACT THAT
 GARLIC IS MONEY

Little Rock, July 24.-Several Ar kansas farmers have again demon strated this year that there is money in the raising of garlic. There is an increased demand for the odorous vegetable, which is used in large quantities for medicinal purposes in the war hospitals of Europe. It is employed in the manufacture of a valuable antiseptic.
 Balch x Son of Bonneville, reports a good crop and a large acreage. He has raised 50 bushels to the acre. It weighs 60 pounds to the bushel, and is sold at 20 cents a pound This means a gross return of $720 an acre for the product.
 Burkholder X Tuggle, near Boone vile, also have a large field of garlic, and report a fine crop. Commissioner John H. Page has an acre of it on his farm near Swifton.

THREE FINED FOR
 VIOLATING FISH LAW
Deputy Game Warden Busy Looking After ViOlatOrs Fish Law-Three Plead Guilty Number Warrants Issued.

Three of Nevada citizens appeared here today and plead guilty to violat- ing the fish law and were fined S7.O0 and costs. The plea of guilty was entered before Squire B'Shers and the fine and costs were both very light.
 Game Warden Marsh has been in this section for several weeks and there are a number of warrants yet to be served. Mr. Marsh states that he will arrest every one that he can secure evidence against for violating the fishing law.
 The idea is prevalent that fish can be caught with minnow seines or any seine that has a 5-8 inch mesh or smaller The law states that you can not catch fish with a seine with a mesh smaller than three inches (square).

COMMISSION WOULD
 COMPLETE FUND
Battleship Arkansas Silver Ser vice Commission Wants Aid at Once-Arkansas Only Ship Not Received Appropriation.

The battleship Arkansas Silver Ser vice Commission earnestly wishes to complete the fund to an amount that will make the gift an adequate one and worthy the name of the state. Other states have provided services ranging in cost from $5,000 to 1925, ,OOO, and there is none costing less than $5,00O.
 "ls Arkansas willing to lag behind all her sister states in such a cause when the Arkansas is one of the greatest war vessels in the American navy?" is a question that is being asked by Mayor Chas. E. Taylor chairman of the commission. in an appeal being sent to the members of the commission throughout the state We want to get the fund complete Can you not devise a plan to raise a part of this money?"
 The following facts are enumerated by the chairman:
 The battleship Arkansas is the only battleship in the fleet, named for any state the citizens of which, either by popular subscription, legislative ap- propriation or a combination of both have failed to recognize the honol done the state
 Arkansas is the only state fol which battleship has been named whose legislature has refused to ap. propriate dollar for a silver service for such ship.
 The partial service now being made covers the amount so far available about $2,600.
 It is suggested if each of the [; counties would raise an additional $5C it would provide an aggregate, witf the amount on hand, that would put Arkansas in line with other states.

SHIPPERS IN MEXICO
 FIRE AT GUARDSMEN
Were Making Disturbance in San Antonio When They Were Fired Upon by Provost Guard of Fort Sam Houston.

Fl Paso, July 24.-Gen. Bell tonight notified Gen. Gonzales, commanding at Juarez, that his reports indicated that six outlaws, Villa sympathizers, have been responsible for the recent exchanges of shots between Massa- chusetts national guardsmen in this vicinity and Mexicans south of the frontier. These outlaws, Gen. Bells information said, have a rendezvous on the Island" bit of Mexican ter ritory few miles below Fl Paso. He suggested that Gen. Gonzales take steps to break up the band.
 Both Gen. Bell and Gen. Gonzales tonight continued their investigations of last nights shots between outposts of the Ninth Massachusetts Infantry and reports that the Americans had crossed into Mexican territory Dur ing the day the two commanders eX- changed views several times through Andres Garcia, Mexican consul at Fl Paso, with view to eliminating the sniping below Fl Paso.
 Gen. Gonzales and Mir. Garcia an- nounced that they had protested to Gen. Bell against the conduct of the miltiamen, who, they said, crossed into Mexican territory yesterday morning in violation of Mexican rights and last night shot up without provo cation a number of homes on the Mexican side of the border
 Gen. Bell said, however, that Mr. Garcia had communicated with him by telephone, and that he did not re- member the conversation in the nature of a protest, but rather a notification that the Mexican authorities were willing to cooperate in every way to eliminate possible chances of friction between the two commanders.
 Americans Returned Fire.
 Gen. Bell added that Brig Gen. Le- roy Sweetzer, commanding the Mas sachusetts troops, reported that the Mexicans fired first.
 In regard to the protest, Gen. Bell said:
 Our men have orders to shoot back when shot at. They will be punished if they are guilty of shooting first. But their instructions are to answer any fire. And the sooner that the Mexicans learn that they cannot snipe with impunity the better it will be for both sides.
 AS to crossing the international line, if it can be shown that any of our men have done so in defiance of my orders they will be punished"
 Gen. Bell also stated that the Mexi- can authorities at Guadaloupe had voluntarily informed him that the two horses and two mules taken from Reynolds ranch, near Fabens, Texas, by Mexican thieves, will be returned to the owner this afternoon.
 In his protest to Gen. Bell, Gen. Gonzales affirmed that no Mexican soldiers are stationed in the neighbor- hood of the island and that he had no
