Marshal Ullom of Wiley brought
two tough kids to Lamar on Monday
He had caught them attempting to rob
a cash drawer there and one had
drawn a gun on him. They were turn
ed over to Sheriff Downing and plac-
ed in jail. They gave fictitious names
and tried in every way to fool the Of
fcers. After long search the sher-
iff succeeded in finding ten dollar
bill in the fold of one trouser leg and
sack with several dollars in silver
where they had hid it in the cell. No
clue to their identity could be worked
out of them, but by telegraphing their
description to several places it was
discovered that they were Asa Wheel
err and Walter Hooper, who had been
paroled some months ago from the
Kansas reformatory at Topeka, and
are now wanted for a string of rob
berries of lumber yards and garages
from Hutchinson west. Their scheme
has been to wait for the noon hour
when such places are likely not to be
closely watched. One would stand
guard and the other slip in, break
open the till and take what cash he
could find. They worked this success
fully at Hutchinson, Great Bend, Kin
sley and other points, and were equip
ped with guns and belts like real bad
men.

E. j. Wagner headed the Helvetia
list Of milk checks for January with
one of SLOTS, the first one here to
top the thousand dollar mark. He
lead the list the first month of the
plant here, January 1914, and has been
the leader oftener than any other per-
son or company since that time. The
A. B. S. Co. has become a strong
competitor and when not leading is
generally crowdine Mr.. Wagner close.
The size of this check will give some
idea of the growth and big results
being accomplished by this industry
in the county. A number of other
companies and individuals have
monthly checks running up into the
hundreds, and all are enthusiastic
over the industry. With a monthly
income of one thousand dollars a hero
of a hundred holsteins will not only
make the owner handsome return OF
his investment, but in the course of 8
few years the return from the sales
of the increase of the herd will re.
turn his capital to him also. Already
this section is becoming the western
headquarters for all those seeking t.
buy good holstein stock and this in
dustry will grow along with the pro
duction Of milk.
