Friends of Clement j. WEIGH con
cede that he is a success as a lawyer,
but as police officer there is room

decision after his attempted arrest of
an automobile thief on last Wednes-

shooting around town and short
ly discovered a car with man and
woman who answered the description.
He placed the couple under arrest and
lrovc over to the county Jail to turn
them over to the sheriff. Sheriff
Cummings had received another mes
sage from the Mapleton officials ad
vising him that they were on their
way to DenisOn SO told Mr.. WEIGH to
keep the prisoners in his custody I'M
til the Mapleton officers arrived.
Mr.. WEIGH took his prisoners and
car over to the Denison Auto Com
pany's garage and instructed the man
to drive the car in. Instead of driv-
ing in the man backed into the gar
age and this did not please Mr. Welcil
who told the man to drive the car in

started out and instead of stopping, he
sped down the street and out of town
with his woman companion much to
the chagrin of WEIGH.
At an early hour in the morning,
however, the couple were unprecedented

! The doctors this noon in an inter
view with Review reporter, stated
that only about 20 per cent of those
examined have failed to pass. Most
of these were rejected on account of
physical defects such as bad teeth,
hernia and under weight.
| Examinations have been made at
the rate of 1875 day by the two ply
| icians. On Monday the work was
not completed until 1880 O'Clock in
the evening. but on Tuesday the doc.
tors had finished the second hundred
men by $50 o'clock.
The men strip in one of the back
rooms and two men are allotted to
each physician at time. While one
is being weighed and measured the
other is being examined by the ply
sician.

animation state that it is more thor

a. After the men have been examined
they are asked if they desire to claim
exemption and II SO on what grounds.
Those desiring to claim exemption
are directed to the grand jury room
on the east side of the building, where
they may procure the necessary
blanks.
In order to avoid all mistakes in
filling out exemption papers the local
board secured the services of M. e.

at a large table and assist in making
out the blanks. All Of the men men

to the papers.
On Monday it is said that about so

but yesterday there were fewer and
today it is claimed that the exemp-
ton will run only about fifty per cent.
1t is probable that the claims for ex.
emption will run about siXty-five per
cent of the three hundred men called.
In nearly every instance all of the
necessary papers for exemption were
placed on file the day that the man
was examined. Witnesses in most
cases accompanied the drafted man to
