Kansas Sheriff Who Comes to
Omaha Is Sued for DAMAGES

Sheriff Ray of Graham county,
Kansas, came to Omaha, hoping to
take prisoner back with him, but in
stead, he returns with a copy of a
summons, showing that he has been
sued for $4,000 damages. It all hap
pened in this way:
Fred Larson lived near Hill City,
Kas. He sold his farm for $4,000,
subject to $1,000 mortgage and took
a second mortgage for $3.50. This sec
ond mortgage happened to be drawn
on first mortgage blank. This mort
gage he traded to Hugh Gillen for
three mules and note.
Larson started for Colorado and
came by way of Omaha to visit
friends. Gillen grew lick of his trade
with Larson and followed him to
Omaha. Here he had him arrested,
the information charging obtaining
property by making false representa-
tons.
At this stage in the proceedings,
Larson employed John o. Yeiser and
the next step was habeas corpus
that was granted by Judge Redick,
who held that there was no fraud.
Then, through his attorney, Larson
brought suit against the Kansas
sheriff.

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druf is to dissolve 1t, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandruH will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
drutf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the northumberland.

Railroads Have Task to
Find Men to Do Work

Two dollars a Gay for working on
the section is the wages that railroads
are paying their men, or at least would
pay them if there were those who
would take the jobs.
Last year section men were paid
$l.75 per day. Early this spring the
wages were advanced to $l.S5 and
Monday they were jumped to 81.
Even at these wages the railroad Of
fcials assert that men will not work.
On the streets of the cities and in
the larger towns railroad officials as
sert that there are large numbers of
idle men, who apparently are seeking
work, but when approached with
propositions to accept employment
they are found to be looking for easy
work, where the wages are high and
little to do.

Boundary County
Idaho

is the extreme northern county of
Idaho It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising,
mining, timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to $25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from 80 to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of ac-
cess. The mining industry is yet in
its infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed
No irrigation in this district. Coco
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.

CARRYING MAIL
IN EARLY TIMES

A century orasO ago, when WiscOn-
sin was the home of the Indian and
the fur trader, but few letters were
written or delivered. When the Off
Ger at Fort Howard or Fort Crawford
wanted to forward their mail to the
outside world, they dubbed together
and paid a carrier to the nearest post
office, which was Chicago for the for
mer and Galena for the latter place.
Even after a government post office
was established at Green Bay, the
contractor had to hire WOodsman
during the winter season to carry the
mail upon his back over the frozen
trails to and from Chicago. The post
mans life was not an easy one. The
round trip between Green Bay and
Chicago took him a month. He en-
ployed an Indian guide to accompany
him, and between them they carried
the mail, weighing usually about sixty
pounds. two bags of hulled and ground
corn for provisions in case no Indian
CANES were encountered en- route, a
roll of blankets to form a nights
lodging on the soft side Of log, and
rifles and ammunition to keep off
wolves and bears, and furnish rations
of wild game if other resources failed.
Each night they camped where dark
ness overlook them. The trail ran
from the Fox to the ManitOwoc river,
thence to Sank river and Milwaukee,
from there to Skunk grove, Goose
point and to Chicago. The only white
settlers encountered were the traders
at Milwaukee and at Ouilmette's cab
in at Goose point.
