 Sheriff Johnson encountered an ex- perience on Wednesday afternoon of last week closely rivaling some of the border events of two or three decades ago. He received a telegram from Coffeyvile, Kan. asking him to arrest apd hold Albert Snow of Sisco on the chata2 of forgery. On arriving in that community the sheriff learned that EI- mer Snow, brother, was wanted at Great Bend, Kan, on the charge of desertion from the army. On arriving at the home of Snow, the father of the boys, Elmer instantly made his get away, but the sheriff succeeded in put ting Albert under arrest, who made no effort at resistance, but minute later made his dash from the rear door and was at once safely from view in a thick ciunp of bushes. The sheriff merely remarked to the parents that it would be best for the boys to just come in and give up and see if the matters could not be adjusted and instructed the family to just call him up when they returned. Leaving them his tel ephGae number the sheriff stepped into his auto and instructed the driver to return to Rerfyville Immediately after leaving the Snow residence the road crosses low place and the sheriff leaped from his car and took hiding in weeds In less than no time some of tHa smaller children came running dowH the road to see for sure that the ear kept th2 BerryviIIe raod and then returned to the ttGuse The sheriff then pulled himself thru tmg weeds, under the fences and secreted hib,3elf near the house behind friendly tree. All at Gnap the boys returned to the house and the sheriff could easily hear them relate their plans to escape, even threat ening the life of the sheriff should he make any effort to arrest than, at the same time heavily arming themselyes to do the job. As they thus emerged from the house the sheriff stepped from the hidiug with his own gun squarely Tn their faces and demanded "hands up" One of them was quick to respond but the other made pass for his automatic, when the sheriff with finger on the trigger quickly repeated his de- mand and in tho niche of time the boys hands went in the air. Holding his gun upon them he made the one turn his face the other way while he disarm- 9d the other and when both were re- liauad Ef fbnir artillery ho started tbap,
