Man Who Talked Himself Out OF
Penitentiary Is Arrested Again.

Information has been received by
the local county authorities that A.
H. Morand, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary last September in tho
Shawnee county district court for
larceny, and who was later paroled.
has been arrested in Toledo, O., and
is being held in Jail there.
He was arrested first in Topeka Il

travelling bag, kodak and suit of
clothes, all of the aggregate value of
$40, and belonging to R. F. O'Brien,
from Rock Island train No. 80, while
it was standing at the depot here. He
put up the argument that he thought
the bag belonged to him and that h.
had not noticed the difference until
he got to his hotel However, he was
found guilty and sentenced to Lans-
ing for not over seven years.
So eloquent was he in his plea. how
ever, and SO many promises did he
make, that he was released on parol'
Then he started forging checks. His
parole was revoked and he was taken

the enemy to make a precipitate re-

General Ludendorff in consequence

Fine American Divisions There.
General Mangin has in his COM

ferocity anything as yet seen during
