THREE MEN SENTENCED
AT ADJOURNED TERM
Yer Duyn, Rodgers and Bran
don Will Have to Go to
State Reformatory.

Three prisoners in the county Jail
were sentenced to serve terms in the
state reformatory by Judge George
]. Downer, of Syracuse, who held an
adjourned session of the June term
Of court last Thursday. Kenneth Ma
poleon VerDuyn got the longest SEN
Ftence-a term mot to exceed five
years for violation of the Mann act
and not to exceed two years for
breaking Jail. The second term will
begin after the first has been serv-
ed. c. A. Rodgers pleaded guilty
to stealing Ford car last February
and was given term not to exceed
five years. Walter Brandon also
pleaded guilty to stealing "a set Of
harness and was given the same SEN
tence. All three must go to The
state reformatory.
Harry Martin, held for stealing a
set of harness, confessed that he was
a deserter from the United States
navy. He will be taken to Lakeport,
ILL.,, in the near future. The govern
ment officials have wired transpor-
tation already.
VerDuyn in this weeks story says
that he is deserter from the Cana
dian army. Instead of being born in
France, as he first claimed, he now
says that he was born in Vermont.
He enlisted in the Canadian army in
April, 1916, and deserted in August,
1916. G. L. Light, county attorney,
has written the Canadian govern
ment to find out if he is wanted
Yer Duyn now claims that his name
is Gladue. 1t seems that the county
authorities weren't far from right in
their belief that Chicago was as neal
Verdun as the brave soldier got.
In the matter Of E. D. Kelley vs.
E. T. Grassleld it was held that Mr.
Kelley's lease was valid. The coun
sci agreed to refer the amount Of
damage to an impartial board. Il
was decided that Mr.. Kelley would
be damaged 5000 should he have to
give possession of the property. G.
L. Light represented the plaintiff
and E. C. Warfel the defendant.

Only 275 Have Been Bought-Aboui
500 Cars in County

Only 275 auto tags have been sold
this year, according to T. S. Locke,
county treasurer. The sale this year
has been somewhat slower than last
on account of the general condition
of business.
There are about 600 cars in the
county, Mr.. Locke thinks. Last year
$50 tags were sold. They are sup
posed to be on cars now and those
who run without them are subject
to arrest and fine.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Petrograd, May 16.-In an impas-
stoned appeal to delegates from the
front, at a meeting in PetrOgrad Sun
day, A. F. Kerensky, minister of JUS
tice, made the most alarming diagno-
sis of Russia's internal crisis that has
come from any official since the rev
luton.
The minister of justice, heretofore
optimistic and reassuring in his as

had left him and that he feared disas-
ter.
Unless there is a quick infusion of a
new spirit in the army and a new I'M
derstanding of freedom among the
masses, and unless the energy which
now is being used to bring about
peace is transformed into energy
working for the defense of the coun-
try, it is generally felt that Russia will
not long be able to go on with the

LAUDS RED CROSSWORD
HEARTS OF AMERICAN PEOPLE
IN THIS WAR
President Warns of Sacrifices and
Says People Do Not Realize All
They Must Endure.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington. - President Wilson,
speaking Saturday at the dedication
of a Red Cross memorial building to
the women Of the Civil War, declared
America united had gone into the
present war solely because it believes
in the principles upon which the
American government was founded.
THE hearts of the people of this
country are in this war; he said.
They think there is an opportunity
TO express the character of the Unit
ed States.
I'VE have no grie vances Of our
own. We went into this war because
We are the servants of mankind. We
will not accept any advantages out of
this war. We go into it because we
believe in the principles upon which
the American government was
founded"
The building was dedicated to the
women of the North and South, a
fact on which the President dwelt in
emphasizing that the country is unit
ed in the present war.
Il pray God" he said, that the
outcome of this struggle may be that
every element of difference in this ma
ton may be eliminated and that it
will make a single people of those
who call themselves Americans. | be-
lieve this is already beginning to hap
pen and that the spirit of this people
is already united. l hope that this will
be the beginning of a process which
0 will request the erection of an
ether beautiful memorial to a United
America"
The President added that he did not
believe the people yet realized the
sacrifice and suffering that they face.
I'VE thought the scale of our Civil
War was Unprecedented" he said,
but it now seems insignificant in the
expenditure of treasure and of blood
in this great war"
