Cocaine and Other Dope Taken
During Dr.. Kemp's
Absence

That dope fiends were abroad in
Mankato yesterday was indicated by
the fact that sometime during the
forenoon thieves entered the office of
DR.. A. F. Kemp and took three tubes
of cocaine and q hypodermic syringe
away with them. DR.. Kemp left his
office early in the morning and did
not enter it again until the middle of
the afternoon. Shortly after he re-
turned he had occasion to use some
cocaine and then it was that the theft
was discovered. 1t it thought that
the thieves entered the. office over the
transom.
DR.. Kemp had received a call the
day before from a woman for drugs
but had refused to give her any
dope" He was strongly of the opin-
ion that this woman had taken the
cocaine. Police OFFICERS were mott
fed and apprehended Forrest Malone
and his wife, who were stopping at a
local hotel. The two claimed to hail
from Sioux City. They had drugs in
their possession when arrested but
the receptacles were so disfgured
that it could not be proven as DR.
Kemp's property. The two were lodg-
ed at the station last night and dur
ing the night became so unnerved
from the loss of drugs that Chief OF
Police Ed Ario had to be called from
his home to administer some of the
dope to them. This morning Malone
and his wife were taken before Judge
Temple and were ordered out of the
city for vagrancy. They agreed to
leave at once.

State Organization to Remain in Sact
For Next Campaign.
Minnesota republicans will keep their
organization going without a break
until the 1920 campaign, State Chair
man Gustaf Lindquist said today
County and local committeeman will
be kept supplied with literature and
information, and meetings will take
place frequently before the next cam
paign.
The special effort will be to combat
the menace of socialism, which still is
considered serious though the Non
partisan league lost much ground be-
tween the June primaries and the
general election.
"The organization formed for this
campaign will be kept in good working
order" said Mr. Lindquist. "If a
county chairman or a precinct com
mitteeman drops out, his place will
be filled Immediately by another. We
don't intend to be caught again with
out an organization at the beginning
of campaign"

WAR IS Dull, DIRTY
AND IS DANGEROUS
SUCH IS OPINION OF AN AMER.
ICAN FIGHTER IN FRANCE
II Peace Should Come, 1t will
Be DuIIer, However; Let's
Cheer Them Along

New York, November, War is
damn dull, damn dirty and damn
dangerous!" This is the new defini-
ton of war given by a member of the
A. E. F. in France, according to DR..
Nolan R. Best, wellknown editor Of
the continent who arrived in New
York yesterday on his return from
six months service as Y. NJ. c. A.
worker overseas.
Americans at home, accustomed
to having the glorious side of war play
the worst of the three is dullness,"
soad DR.. Nolan. Fighting brings un
bounded joy to the American SOL
dier's heart but the waiting periods
are all but intolerable. If hostilities
are suspended the war will be less
dirty and less dangerous for our men
but ten times more dull. Just here
the United War Work agencies come
in
"The biggest work and greatest
opportunities Of these agencies in
France lies before them. Britain and
France have been practically stripped
of able bodied men in order to main
tain their armies at full strength. On
the other hand, the man power Of
the United States has in comparison
only been touched. This means that
the British and French must demo
billie first in order to free the Tom
mics and Poilus for the great tasks
of reconstruction. The American
forces during this period, will have
Garrison duty to do all over Europe.
In other words, for almost a year the
Yanks will be needed as Internation-
al Police.
at must also be remembered that
eighteen months have been required
to get our boys to France and their
transportation was accomplished un-
der tremendous pressure. 1t is in
conceivable that they can be brought
home in less than two years. During
all this period the United Agencies
will be indispensable"
The War Work Campaign for funds
will begin next Monday. Cheer the
boys with your subscription.

LIEUT.. SUTTON, GOLFER,
LOST HIS RIGHT HAND. BUT
HE KILLED HIS TURK
Has Played Difficult Course in
90 Strokes and Only Shots
T h at Bother Him Are
Bunker Strokes
By WILLIAM II. EVANS

nNE of the most Interesting golfers
~ In Philadelphia is Lieutenant Frank
Sutton who plays most of his golf at the
Pine Valley Golf Club. Lieutenant SUIT
ton lost his right arm at Gallipoli and
thereby hangs an interesting story.
During that campaign that cost the
British so many lives there was hand
tossing grenade contest between the
Turks and the British. These grenades
have time fuses and time after time the
Turks would hurl the grenades only to
have Lieutenant Sutton and the men in
his company catch them and hurl them
back where they did terrific damage to
the Turks. Finally one Turk caught on
so he counted four before he hurled his
grenade and the lieutenant missed it.
Lost Hand Saving His Men
Realizing that any moment it would
explode and kill a number of men near
by he pushed 1t or tried to push 1t
into the ground with his right arm. A
moment later he knew he was out of
the trench. but he had no idea his right
got out. He saw Turk coming and
reached for his revolver with his right
hand and only then was he aware
that he no longer had right hand
But that did not stop him and with his
left hand he killed his Turk And he
fought on till dusk and when they got
him back to the hospital they had no
anesthetics. so three men sat on him
while they removed what was left of
his right arm below the elbow
He is a big, handsome chap and ex-
tremely popular He is an expert on
ordnance and he has several patents on
large and small guns that are being
used by the Allied forces. And what is
more, he is anxious to get back into
action against the Huns.
Was Plus Two Golfer
Before the big war he was a plus 2
man at Walton Heath, one of the famous
courses near London. Since he has been
in this country he has taken up the
game again and, unlike others who have
lost their right hand, he still plays the
same style that he did when he had
both hands, except that. of course, the
| left hand only Is used. He does not
use any artificial Contraption for the
| right arm.
He has been on the green of the
| eighteenth a number of times in two
shots. and that is no mean feat for a
man with two good hands, and he has
| frequently made fours on that hole. He
| has driven the long fifth hole a number
of times, and there the carry is about
100 yards And he plays the course
anywhere from 92 to 100 strokes, and
