WHY COLDS ARE DANGEROUS

1t Is not only the serious diseases
that so often start with a cold that
make cold the most dangerous Of
minor ailments, but the fact that
when child has a cold he is much
more likely to contract germ diseases
such as scarlet fever and diptheria.
ForUkhis reason every cold should be
gotten rid of as quickly as possible.

AFTER. many YEARS
MURDER SUSPECT
FOUND IN SWEDEN
Pocatello Detective Agency
Claims to Have Unraveled
Crime Of Twenty one
Years Standing.

l. 8. May. head of the Revelare De-
tective agency of this city, with a
branch office at Salt Lake, has an
nounced the discovery of the alleged
slayer of two Salt Lake girls, which
murder took place in Salt Lake 81
years ago, says the-Pocatello Tribune.
Mr.. May has been working on the case
for the past seven years and is to be
complimented on his tireless efforts to
locate 1.-THE accused slayer.
The man Is Rev. Francis Herman,
once popular pastor and head of the
Scandinavian Methodist church in Salt
Lake. He Is now in Sweden under sur
veillance of federal authorities and ow-
ing to the difficulty in making arrests
and carrying on extradition during
war time, 1t will be necessary to walt
until the end of the war before the al
legged slayer can be returned to Salt
Lake. Police officials all over the
country have traced Herman for the
last 10 years and a great many sus-
poets have been picked up, but later
released. Mr.. May has pursued his
clues alone for several years, with only
a meager description Of the man, and
the only incentive to his work being
sealed in jar Of alcohol The jar con-
tains a few of the bones of Henrietta
Clawson, one of the girls who was said
to have been burned to death in the
furnace at the Scandinavian Method
list church in Salt Lake.
WORKED AS HOUSEkEEPERs.
The story goes that two Scandinav-
ian girls. Henrietta Clawson. aged 30,
and Annie Samuelson age about rs,
were working In Rev. Herman's house
as housekeepers, and that one day they
were missing. The young girl friends
of the victim inquired of the preacher
as to their whereabouts, and he stated
he had sent them east for an educa-
ton. Several days later one Of the
neighbors detected naSseating odor
coming from the church next door
Herman made good his escape and the
only clue to the double murder was a
few charred bones and a set of false
teeth found in the furnace Of the
church. The teeth were later identified
by a dentist as to have belonged to
Henrietta. 1t was thought that Her
man had led the girls into a life of
shame and then killed them both. The
body of Annie Samuelson was never
discovered but the theory is that is
was thrown into the Jordan river.
Herman had been married six times,
each II his wives having died within a
short time after marriage. He Is
charged with performing criminal OPP
erations in Salt Lake and his extradi-
ton at the termination of the war will
be watched with a great deal of inter-
est.
