SILK ROBBERY
MITCHELL VICTIM THIS TINE
CHIEF WINESBURG WARNED
TO BE ON LOOKOUT.

Silk thieves are footloose and free
again, according to a telephone mes
sage received yesterday afternoon at
5 o'clock from the chief of police at
Mitchell to Local Chief Grant Wines
burg. 1t seems hat a dry goods
store was robbed in that city We'd
nesday night to the extent of $1,000
worth of silk.
Mitchell authorities traced the
thieves as far as Woonsocket, but
lost the trail there. They believe the
culprits are heading eastward and
have warned all the police officers of
the towns in this section of the state
to be on the lookout for them.
1t Is believed that there were three
men in the party and the loot was
carried in five suitcases. Unless the
men are very fortunate they may be
%snowbound in some Of the surround
ing towns and the capturing of them
Is apt to fall to the lot Of other than
Mitchell officers.
Silk robberies are getting TO be-
come a regular nuisance in this re-
gion. Madison has had one and an
other has occurred at Wentworth
within the last two years and the
thieves have been too clever to be
shared. No arrests have been made
and so far as it can be learned no
suspects have been locked up.
The work, from all appearances, is
that of men who know the country
and the conditions in the different
towns as they have been able to com
nit the %robberies and get away un-
scathed. There is only one way TO
break up such operations: Keep an
eye on each stranger that comes into
each town and make him give a salts

GAME TONIGHT
NORMAL BASKET BALLERS MEET
TRINITY OF SIOUX CITY AT
LOCAL GYM.

Trinity college. reputed to be one
of the fastest college basket ball
teams in Iowa, plays the Normal to-
night in the first real home game of
the season at the Normal gymnasium.
Ames and Morningside, il is said,
have both fallen before the prowess
of the Sioux City tossers and they are
certain to treat the yellow and white
to a bit of real basket ball.
Normal has a good team in many
respects and if it can stay together,
watch its passing and dispense with
'roughing it" with a heavy team. has
a fair chance to win over the Iowans.
Injuries have slowed up the local
hopes, but Coach Wagner's pupils are
determined TO give the Hawkeye
guests a hard tussle before they take
additional honors to Sioux City.
But the team has improved so
much since the northern trip that
sanguine Normal rooters are willing
to believe ii as being much better
than it is given credit for being.
Both guards are strong and the
shooting is excellent, but the main
drawback has been weird passing. the
kind that throws away more games
than any other fault.
To remedy such a weakness in a
short time is a hard task, but an inn
provement tonight over what has
been displayed to date will be a great
help to the Normals in holding their
much touted opponents to a reason
able total. Trinity combines strength
hard one to meet.
A good showing tonight will serve

NEARLY Caught


That old saw about the Lord
watching over fools. drunkards and
children" applied we'll with reference
to the latter class late yesterday aft
ernoon, when a small boys foot
caught between the wheel and the
box of a dray driven by Emil Kuch-
enbecker, and sustained a severe
wrench before il was released. That
it was not broken was a wonder.
The lad escaped before anyone could
learn his name.
And he was game. All he did
after a preliminary examination of
his injuries was to limp homeward
as fast as he could travel, much TO
the relief of bystanders who fully ex-
pected his leg was broken when
caught in such a manner. The boy
was one of the many who were
catching on hobs" after school and
the only n to be injured.
Chief Winesburg put in a busy
hour walking up and down Egan av-
enue and warning the youngsters,
most of whom took heed, all but the
one who refused to listen and was
caught. 1t is said that the same boy
has narrowly escaped serious injury
on several other occasions and Is one
of the special group picked to receive
injuries before the winter Is over.

marine corps at Quantico, Va, or the
engineering corps at Belvoir, Va, to
bring to Washington for hospital treat
ment sick or injured men.
The women are also getting inten-
sive training themselves under officers

ington has been taken has model for
similar organizations throughout the
country and the war department is re-
ceiving daily applications for officers
