to follow his own training ideas.
Jennings consented. and has regret

James was in poor condition when
the season opened and he since has
often admitted that toe much dane

Early in the winter he and two

Up Against the Bone Dry" Law.

Patroling the state line for boot
leggers for several years before the
passage of the Bone Dry law was
comparatively an easy task for Iowa
authorities. But now, since the law
is in full operation the difficulties
have greatly increased. Before the
advent Of the Bone Dry law the ON
ional bootlegers, but now 1t is
crime for anyone to have liquor with
them, except for sacramental or
medicinal purposes, and SO the hunt
is enlarged to every person who
crosses the line with liquor. Ordi-
nary citizens who believe it is safe
to carry a few quarts across the line
in their pockets, suit cases or auto
mobiles, will now regret their judg-
pening here last Thursday when
marshal E. w. Carey arrested the
owner OF an automobile, who was in
his machine on the north side of the
Haver grocery store, and five plnts
of whiskey taken from the car. In
formation was Immediately filed
against the prisoner before Justice J.
H. Crees, and upon trial that after
noon the prisoner plead guilty to a
charge Of having liquor in his posses
sion, although denying that he was
the owner Of the whiskey and was
fined 500 and costs, part of the fine
being RENTED by the justice, but al
together costing the prisoner about
$50 for his experience. The case was
prosecuted before the Justice by the
county attorney, Harry Garrett:
There were three other occupants Of
the car, who made their escape while
the marshal was busy with the owner
Of the car, and have not yet been ar
rested, but whose identities are
known and they will likely be sent
for when wanted by the authorities.
Also most of the liquor confiscated,
which was turned over to the marshal
for safe keeping, was stolen by par
ties unknown to him, from the cage
at the town house, where he had
placed it. We understand all of the
four parties connected with the mat
ter are residents of the neighborhood
north of Davis City, and were likely
over here loading up for the Davis
City reunion which was in progress
at that time.-Lineville Tribune

ces will be greatly intensified at this
time, with every probability that they
will be prolonged into the regular

Antonio KarasinRi Pole, who, ar
rested after struggle, told the police
a rambling story Of being bothered for
twelve years by women against whom
he decided to evenge himself. He said
he had complained to Washington in
letter asking to have the ANNOYANCE
stopped, but getting no answer deter
mined to take the matter into his own
hands.
The attacks were made in different
parts Of lower Broadway and threw
the thoroughfare Into a turmoil while
the victims were being cared for and

The result Of the destroyer activity
during the last four weeks has besss
not only decrease In casualties OF

submarines sunk.

When a submarine tries to torpedo
a conveyed ship-as submarines now
are compelled to do owing to the in
frequency of unconvoyed shipping-
there Is always destroyer on the
scene and the chances OF her getting"
that particular submarine are corre-
spondingly increased4
The wake of a torpedo Is generally
seen by the destroyer lookouts and Il
gives a good line on the direction
where the submarine Is lying.
The destroyer Immediately steers q
course full steam in the trail Of the
torpedo's wake and drops repeated
depth charges along this course.
In a considerable proportion Of cases
this proves effective. for these depth
charges cause serious commotion over
a considerable radius.

was told Of three cases during the last
fortnight in which submarines were
thus destroyed.

MS in the case OF the damaged U-boat
recently interned in Spain. Another
submarine which will never return to
Germany was sunk under peculiar CIR
cumstances a short time ago. This
U-boat torpedoed ship bound from
the United States. It Is unsafe to fire
a torpedo at such close range but the
IT. boats must take their targets as they
get them these days. The torpedoed
ship was loaded with a cargo Of heavy
war materials and the explosion was
so forcible that It blew large piece OF
material thru the deck OF the ship and
drlpped 1t on the submarine as the lat
ter was eubmerging. The submarine
was crushed like an egg shell and she
sank with all on board.
