Mccoy GETS FOUR YEARS
FOR STEALING CAR
Graham's Stolen Buick Was Brought
Back in Good Condition-Enhart
Will Put Up Fight.

Leonard E. Mccoy, one Of the
thieves who stole R. M. Graham's car
from his garage in Eastwood Park q,
week ago Sunday night, was arrest
ed at Radville, Sask., by the Canadian
police. Sheriff Scofield and Deputy
Chef Jacobson went to Weyburn,
Sask., where the man and car were
turned over to them and the sheriff
and Mccoy returned to Minot Satur-
day. The trip from Weyburn to Por-
tai was made in Graham's car, the
sheriff bringing his prisoner the re-
mainder Of the way on the train. ia
cobson returned with the car Sunday.
Mccoy appeared before Justice Dill
Saturday morning and that afternoon
he was sentenced to serve four years
in the penitentiary by Judge Leighton.
States Attorney Herigstad has ask
ed that Mccoy be kept as witness in
the case against Robert Enhart, Nc
Coy's alleged partner in crime, who
was arrested and brot down from
Portal last week Enhart appeared
before Justice Dill Saturday morning
and is preparing to put up fight. He
informed the officers that he accom-
panied Mccoy from Minot to Portal
in the stolen car, but went only as
passenger and had nothing to do with
stealing the car.
Homer Parsley, the third man in
volved in the theft of the car, got
away from the marshal at Portal and
has not been seen since. Parsley is a
young fellow % years old. He jump
ed out Of the car, Mccoy says, Just
before Mccoy drove away from Porta
with it.
These three men are members Of a
gang of automobile thieves who broke
jail at Huron, S. D. They in company
with the fourth member Of the gang,
Elmer Merrill, aged 10, came 70 Mi.
not in q Maxwell car which they had
stolen in Huron after breaking Jail.
Mccoy says they abandoned the Max
well in Minot. Merrill started to
work for the Great Northern but he
evidently learned that the officers
were looking for him and skipped.
Mccoy says the Maxwell was parked
in front Of some church but when the
robbers went to get it; someone had
taken it.
Mccoy is cowboy who has travelled
with circus as expert rope thrower.
When he was in Winnipeg with cir

stunts and throwing steers, six Of his
ribs were broken
Mccoy was in France with the
army employed as truck driver. He
knows all about automobiles and took
excellent care of the Graham car,
which he drove about 400 miles. When
the car was found there was five
quart can of engine oil in it. The over
coat which Mccoy had stolen from
G. F. Truax's car, has been returned,
and J. ]. Coyle got his tire abck.
Mccoy told Graham he had seen the
Buick standing in front of the Ora
ham home in Eastwood Park Sunday
and the car looked good to him. That
night at about twelve o'clock entrance
was gained to the garage and the men
pushed the car down the street
block before starting the engine. Ora
ham had neglected to lock the car that
night, but this would have made but
little difference as Mccoy is an expert
auto man. Mccoy said that he was
headed for Lethbridge where he has

Mount Grappa is approximately
5000 feet high, is solid rock pro-
jecting into space in gigantic pcu
portions and almost perpendicular
on its sides. The ascent is made
by series of winding roads made
on the western side in switch

switchbacks, each approximately 200
yards in length, curving at each end
in breadth-taking curve.
The engineering work staggers
the Imagination. The bare noun
tain would have convinced one of
the impossibility of the ascent by
road, but the army engineers ac-
complished the task, constructing
the roads in such way that a gar

kept in full operation during the
entire war with supplies of ammu
