BANK BANDITS
TWO MEN WHO TRIED TO ROB
CONDE BANK START SERV-
ING THEIR TERMS.

Sioux Falls. July 27.-Frank Nc
Bride and LOUIS Miles. the two Condo
bank robbers. who, when they We're
taken before Judge f. f. Taylor
pleaded guilty and were each sen
fenced to serve Is years in the pen
itentiary. have been turned over TO
Warden Redfield and have eommene-
ed serving their sentences. The ex-
IRENE penalty for the crime commit
ted by these two men is 20 years. but
owing to the fact that they pleaded
guilty, Judge Taylor gave them but
is years each.
Mcbride. who was shot during the
attempt to get away. is still i'm bad
shape. He carries two wounds as a
result of his running fight with the
posse of Condo citizens who captured
him. the minor wound being made by
a small calibre bullet which passed
through his right forearm. between
the bones. doing no particular dam
age. and is now practically healed.
The serious wound was made by a
large caliber bullet, apparently,
which entered his back toward the
right side and travelled downward to-
ward the right side and travelled
downward toward the hip. An X-ray
photograph failed TO show the exact
location of the bullet. but il is not
giving much trouble and it is thought
Mcbride will recover without the re-
moyal of this bullet.
Ii appears from the statement
made by the robbers to the court that
Mcbride is Is years of age and Miles
is 81. and that the robbery was plan
ned at Fessenden. N. D.. early this
spring while the men were working
there as farm hands. Ii was there
that Mcbride secured the address OF
a New York mask and costume firm
from a moving picture magazine. and
ordered the masks worn by the mer
at Condo. The revolvers were pur.
chased in Aberdeen while on their

THIS SURE is A BEAN

A Handsome Bean Named Canavalia
EnslfOrmis and Called Jack-SOme
City Farmers Bit and Now Have
Some Ornaments
Good morning, have you bought
any Canavalla ensiformis?
Maybe you did not buy it under
that name and do not recognize it in
It's Sunday-go-to-meetings, for it has
been dubbed the Jack bean, for short;
but if you bought any at the fancy
prices at which agents have sold them
you are likely to call 'em more of a
Sunday school name than those or
namental words by which they are
called above.
Canavalia ensiformis. It is the
handsomest bean, to be sure. It has
smiling face, cheerful eye, a
round fat body; and it sells on it's
looks.
It came to pass that an agent blew
| into Lumberton in search of victims.
He showed this ornamental sonuva-
gun to some city farmers and they
admired it immensely. It is such a
handsome chap. The Hon. agent told
how this bean would make $50 bush
els to the acre-maype> more-and
would bring those who were wise
enough to invest in them such a re-
turn for their money that they maybe
could rest from their labors and "let
i George do it'' for the rest of theil
lives.
4 So some of them bit. They paic
i, one dollar quart and counted them
selves lucky to buy such treasure
at that figure. They were being le'

WHERE DELAY is
COSTLY IN LIFE.

Thousands OF lives are needlessly
sacrificed to cancer.
Protection is largely a question of
getting early medical and surgical at
tention. Any sore that refuses to
heal should be seen by phisician.
The almost superstitious dread OF
cancer and unwillingness to admit its
existence, or to seek medical advice
in time are well known and difficult
obstacles to progress in its control.
Proof Of this fatal neglect is found
in the experience Of a prominent sur
geon who recently stated that on d
study of his case records he found
that "of s. recent patients, 80 were
men and 80 were women. Of these
65 cases, after the first discovery OF
suspicious symptoms, the men had
waited an average Of 12.2 months be,
fore consulting the doctor. and the
womer had waited, on the average
J." months, or practically years
delay in all cases"
Warts or moles which are rubbed
and irritated by clothing or from any
other cause frequently develop into
cancer.
