By Brown County Officers

Aberdeen American-Defying the
government, Boosting that he would
kill any officer who came to get him
for military service in the war, Frank
Lehman, aged 2S, was shot as he drew
a bead upon officials of the Aberdeen
Home Guard who had gone to arrest
him.
According to his W story he was
pulling the trigger of his rife" as
the bullet from Capt. Harkin's high
powered rife brought him down to
the snow in the field where he had
retreated to give battle.
The bullet reached him at the dis
lance of 125 yards and crashed thru
both legs. He fell forward toward
the attacking party. closing IN on
him, his gun falling near.
He reached for the rifle again. but
missed it, and finally needed the re-
iterated demands of Harkin to put
up his hands. One hand went up and
as the other hesitated, the officer
continued TO hold his gun upon him
threatening to shoot again and this
time thru the head.
%Shivering with fright and the cold
that had begun to reach his body
the mans nerve oozed out and he
| began to moan and whimper and cry

wounds.
He was taken to a hospital fol

KIMBALL MERCHANT
AS PRO-CERMN
Wei known and Wealthy Pioneer
Merchant Under Ban of Law

Kimball, Dec. Isl. III. Wolf and
William LaFranZ, both of this city
we're arrested Thursday and taken
before United States Commissioner
Tidrick of Chamberlain on a charge
Of uttering pro-German sentiments.
They were held for hearing Dec. FL
before the federal grand jury and
furnished bonds of $1,000 each.
Wolf has been under surveillance
for some time and HIS arrest does
not cause great surprise. Two weeks
ago after refusing to stand while a
band played the Star S~pangled Ban
ner his store was given a yellow
coating.
Wolf is well known In this part OF
the state, and owns two fine ranches,
one near here and one in Lyman
county. He is rated as one of Brule
couuty's richest men. During the
war he has absolutely refused TO do
nate to any of the relief campaign
funds it is said, and has complained

had to pay to visit one OF his ranches.

new BREAD MADE
BY 500 FALLS MAN
Patent Secured ON Flour that Re-
quires Only S. per cent
Wheat

Sioux Falls Argus-To Sioux
Falls boy, Dick Dickinson, may soon
belong the honor of inventing the
most important saving the nation will
have found during the war, a war
bread that is both palatable AID econ
omic.
The government has SO far recog-
nized the importance of D~ickenson's
idea that it has issued to him a patent
four days after the application was
filed, a record that tells its story.
The important feature of the new
bread is that IL requires but 35 per
cent of wheat flour, a saving of 65
per cent at a time that will count
largely in outstanding the wheat re-
sources of the world. It's other com-
ponent parts are corn meal, rye,
shorts and bran, "a per cent corn
meal being used and the regular
amount of yeast.
Dickinson has been experimenting
with flour until something like 1000
tests we're made before he hit upon
the discovery. Then he found that he
could make the war bread and save
both wheat and sugar, as molasses
can be used in place of the latter,
its only effect being to make the
bread a little darker.
Another important feature of the
bread, which is as delicious TO the
taste as any wheat bread made, is
that it keeps moist for a week to 10
days. This will be of particular adj
vantage to both the army and navy,
which are now required to have field
bakers as the supply dries Out IN less
than a day.
Then new mixture can also be used
in making most edible cookies,
mullins, griddle cakes and biscuits,
in fact everything that ordinary -four
will make.
The patent is now before the Hoov-
err food administration commission
and numerous offers for It's use have
been received.

The BRITISH TANK
LAND BATTLESHIP
An ArmOred Tractor That Crushes
Through Trenches and Wire
Entanglements

New York Sun-The British tank,
has just won the greatest victory on
the western front since the Marine,
and the greatest victory against
field Notifications that history re-
cords, combines in its c~yclopean body
three important attributes. 1t can
shoot, 1t can crush and it can travel.
We are told that the tank was first
used by British engineers in the bat
tie of the Somme. The monster has
since attained a length Of 90 feet
and in width of nine feet, standing
eight feet high and weighing over IL
tons without its armor. This armor
is Of the sort used by naval vessels
and nothing but siege artillery has
any effect on it; even that is effective
only at long range, for when the tank
comes within a certain distance the
heavy guns cannot be pointed down
ward sufficiently to aim at the tank.
AS the tank numbers forward on its
caterpillar tractor belts it lays down
on each side of its body two lines of
steel rails, jointed in short sections,
and these rails are laid and picked up
again in an endless cycle promoted
by the endless belts on which the
tank covers the ground.
For the tank can cover ground, at
four miles an hour when the ground
and other circumstances favor it, at
2R miles an hour when in action, its
tough hide repelling machine gun fire
three inch shells and rifle bullets; its
semiconcealed field guns blazing
away at the enemy or ~enflading-
shooting along the length of an enc
my trench; it's selflaid tracks bridg-
ing trenches; its perpetually padding
belts gripping the broken ground as
it proceeds up hill and down dale re-
gardless of highways; its terrible
weight smashing through a brick
wall, cracking and brushing aside
stable trees, tearing a wide gap
through a field of barbed wire, riding
down and grinding to bits machine
gun nests.
The tank can turn around in its
own length, rearing itself on it's hind
err part, where lies its center of grav-
ity, not over a foot and a half above
ground. Nothing easily conceivable
could capize it. And the more slowly
1t goes the greater its power, as
though the laws of physics regarding
mass and velocity had been suspend
ed for its benefit,
We can't have too many tanks.
They are the apothesis of the steam
roller, only gasoline propelled instead
They have been shown to be capable
of conducting a complete offensive
without previous preparation, lasting
for hours or days, by heavy artillery
! puiping the hostile trench systems
Behind the tank rolls forward wave
after wave of infantrymen ready tC
mop up the enemy's holes in the
ground and prepare or consolidate
the captured territory SO that it may
be held against all counter attacks.
