SEE MYSTERY
IN ARREST OF
EARL BEAVER
Man Seized at St. Joseph
Thought to Be Brother of
Logan BiI|ingsIey, Okla
homa BootIegger.

An element of mystery surrounds
the arrest of Earl Beaver, ALLEGED
bootlegger, by federal authorities a
St. Joseph, Mo, Saturday.
Beaver, it is alleged, was arrested
on information given by a woman
from a roadhouse near St. Joseph, and
when he was seized by the officers he
was in a big Cadillac car, which was
loaded with liquor.
Earl Beaver is alleged to be none
other than Earl Billingsley, a brother
Of Logan Billingsley, king of the
Oklahoma bootleggers, and who, with
other members of the gang, are now
serving sentences in federal prisons
for selling liquor to Indians.
Beaver, as he is called, came to
Omaha last fall about the time that
Logan Billingsley arrived here.
Billingsley was arrested by police
on complaint of Rome Miller, who al
legged the Oklahoma man was using
the rooms he occupied in the Rome
hotel for the illegal sale Of liquor.
Biilingsleya Threatens Suit.
Billingsiey threatened to file suit for
$4,000 damages against the hotel
keeper for causing his arrest. Later
Billingsley was again arrested and
was being held in central station fof
the authorities of the state of Wash
ington. but. was released on $500
bond which he forfeited. ... ;
After his departure from Omaha
the accident which occurred to Jess
Eckford, in which May Mace, an
Omaha girl, was hurt by the over
turning of bootlegging car, January
IL, near Shenandoah, Ia, developed
the fact that there was a regular feet
of bootlegging automobiles plying be-
tween St. Joseph and Omaha and it
was alleged that Beaver was the prin-
cipal of the gang.
He was sought by local officials and
some months ago former Special
Prosecutor Mcclure received a card
purporting to be from Earl Beaver,
and which was sent from Canadian
city, stating that he had enlisted in
the Canadian forces and would soon
be on his way to France.
Several Trips to Omaha.
Since that time the man known To-
cally as Earl Beaver has made several
trips to Omaha and has been recog-
nlzed by acquaintance.
On June II Bryan Van Dyke and
wife, with James Cosgrove, were ar
rested and held at the central station
tor the wife on a charge of "investiga-
tion." Van Dyke, it is alleged, was
known to James Cosgrove as Earl
Beaver. The latter had on his person,
1t is alleged at the time of his arrest
registration card giving his descrip-
ton, his registry number and all the
requirements of the draft law, under
the name of Van Dyke.
The question now arises, Is there
man serving in France under the
name OF Earl Beaver, who is really
Bryan Van Dyke. and with whom Van
Dyke traded registration cards, or was
the man arrested here really Bryan
Van Dyke and is Earl Beaver serving
in France?
There was no evidence which could
prove that Jess Eckford or Earl
Beaver sold whiskey in Omaha at the
time the cases against the two men
were brought up last winter, and the
federal authorities who arrested Earl
Beaver at St. Joseph will give out no
information as to the charges filed
against him nor will they permit the
prisoner to be interviewed.

"PKUsSIC acid" FATAL
Liberty Bonds win Prove Highly
Successful Antidote.
Average Dose Of Remedy is From SSo
to $5,ooo-Ample Evidence Why
Immediate Provision Should
Be Made.
BY LEIGH MITCHELL HoDGEo
of the VlpiIantes.

Prior to August 1914, prussic acid
was known as one of the deadliest
poisons, but comparatively few per-
sons were killed by 1t.
Since that time German autocracy
has killed and MANNED millions and
jeopardized the life and liberty of all
free nations by wholesale use of q
new kind of prussic acid-a "hydrocy.
nnide" of brute force which, IL not him
de2ed, will be as fatal to freedom as
the prussic acid of the laboratory to
him who inhales its deadly vapor.
With this deadlier prussic acid, tho
kaiser and his crew are trying to pois-
on the minds as well as the bodies
of those who will not submit to the
domination of might. Thus far he and
his hell mates have succeeded fairly
we'll, but a new antidote for this pois.
on will check the peril if amply aD-
piled.
Americanism Is its name, and the
method of application is as follows:
AS soon as symptoms of the
poisoning appear-either In the
form Of trench, air or submarine
raids or German propaganda
planting, take one large dose OF
Americanism in the form of Third
Liberty Loan bonds. :
The effect will be instantaneous.
At once the purchaser will pass
from a state Of approaching des-
pair to an unprecedented degree
of satisfaction at having backed
up the boys who are fighting for
freedom and the millions of men
and women who are working to
help win the war. This will be fol-
lowed by sense Of security in
having strengthened our defenses
against devilism, and at the same
time the effect on the foe will be
that of a powerful emetic, caus-
ing them to throw up their hands
In horror at the thought Of such
whole-hearted support of the AL
lied Cause.
For the average American the
dose suggested is from $50 to $5,-
0O0-taken daily In small quanti-
ties over long period, or swal-
lowed at one time and followed by
a feeling Of happiness which cam
not be appreciated until expert-
enced.
And while this is suggested as
the most admirable antidote for
this poison, 1t also possesses the
peculiar quality Of providing n
pill" for Kaiser Bill at the same
time. Testimonials from millions
of Americans who already have
used this remedy and like 1t so
we'll that they are going to lay in
another large supply, make clear
the use for buying your bonds

Every effort 10 being made By judge
John c. Pollock of the Kansas district
court to have the operation of the
Leavenworth and Topeka railroad re

Judge Pollock has authorized an or.

the railroad, recently organized as the
Leavenworth & Topeka Railway Com

The order contains a provision that
the road must be operated. If not, the

sell it as junk, receiving the price in
addition to the $500 purchase price.
The owners declare its present junk
price to be 100000, while the people
assert it is not more than $4,000.
In fixing the purchase price at $780,
