DENNIS WHITE ARRESTED IN

PoAcE BELIEVE WHITE
HELD UP STREET CAR
Mrs. May Tsmpieman, This City, Ar
rested in Dies Moines With White
lis Released on Bond Pending In
vestisation by Poliee-White Here
When HoIdups Were Committed.

What may prove an important devei-
opment in the holdups Of January were
two arrests made in Des Moines by de-
tectives of that city Saturday after
noon. Dennis White, aged about 50,
was arrested for the local police as a
suspect Mrs May Tempieman. of this
city, was held, pending investigation,
with White, whom she had met short
time before.
White. known by the police as
"Whitey," and Mrs. Templeman We're
brought to this city by Officer Starn
and Sheriff Edgar who stopped in Des
Moines while returning from Knox
Vile Late Saturday night Mrs. Tenn
pleman was released under bond for
$500
Suspected Of Both Holdups.
White is being held as a suspect
both of the Winslow holdrp, Dec. Is,
and the holdup of the passengers IN the
street car of which Joe ]. Clemens was
motorman at the south end of the via
duct the night of Dec. IS. White.

was without money.
Identification had not been procured
up to noon. but it was thought that
Clemens and Mr.. ana Mrs. Winsl"w
might be taken 10 the jail 70 see White
before the day was over. 1t is said
White answers the description of the
man who woundedthe Winslows and
who held up the street car passengers.
When arrested he wore a dirty gray
coat Clemens insisted the gunman
who help up his car wore such a coat.
The Winslows said the gunman with
whom they fought in the store had on
such a garment.
Said to Have Been Wounded.
White carries on his hip small
wound, said by the officers to be the
mark OF bullet. His trousers are
punctured on the thigh where the
wound is with what looks like a bullet
hole. This fact, may or may not sub
stantiate the persistent statement of
Clemens that when he shot at the gun
man once he saw him go down.
White was In this city at the time Of
both Iloldups. He has admitted that
much to the police, but denies any
knowledge Of the crimes. He left this
city a day or two after the street car
holdups. White says he is Scotch
man, and a sailor by occupation.

MY SOLDIER GIRL

When the three clever young men
who contributed the book, lyrics
and music to the gorgeous musical
spectacle "My Soldier Girl" coming
to The Grand Opera House Tuesday
nighr, October 30, realized after the
6rst performance that their latest
play was q success, it certsinly must
have been gratifying TO these young
authors who devoted much time in
making this play an entertainment.
my Soldier Girl" has an atmos-
phere about the title just at this
time that tends to create more than
ordinary interest, for since the first
performance the word success does
not convey to the public the interest

and Wool Bureau is in an endeayor
to increase the breeding of sheep to
avert the wool famine that threatens
America and at the same time relieve
the western ranges, which have been
curtailed by the homestead laws,
making imperative the finding Of new
ranges.
AS the sheep are received at the
stock yards from western shipping
points they are quickly sorted by ok
perts, who pick ont animals from
four to six years old, best suited to
breed for two TO three years, aud turn
them into separate pens. These sheep
weigh about So to 90 pounds and con
sist chiefly Of bearing ewes. The
sheep are then shipped to some farm
or who has indicated a desire TO raise
sheep and q careful record made of
the number, age, breed, etc, of the
sheep sold to him.
This is a splendid opportunity for
the South Dakota farmer. The state
is q leader in cattle and hogs, but it
has neglected sheep, except for 800
lated instances where farmers have
grown a few for lawn decoration. Yet
compared to a sheep, neither the hog
nor the COW produces proportionate
profit for the fodder expended in the
length Of time required for maturity.
There is a double profit in sheep
the wool and the meat, and both are
now selling at prices that ought to
tempt any stockraIser. Sheep can be
pastured on land that would starye
cattle or hogs, and thrive on 1t. Their
fodder cost is therefore practically
nothing, since they will pasture on
land that Is really valueless for any
thing else. Moreover, by iertiiizipg,
they will often return to usefulness
land that has been abandoned or that
is lying fallow. In thickly wooded
country such as lies about streams,
are Invaluable for the manner in
which they will clear underbrush
making the land valuable for
pasture for larger stock.

ation which has by this time been quite
costly to Dutch ship owners

tween Lake Tahoe and the Golden
Gate.
