BAILEY IDENTIFIED 1T
Former Governor Receivers Stolen
Securities From His Bank.


Securities aggregating 100000 have
been identified as property of the Bal
leyville State bank by Willis J. Bailey
of Atchison. former governor and
president of the bank. The Baileyville
bank was reopened with the return of
the bonds and securities. Cash
amounting to $1,000 was taken from
the bank, but was not recovered when
men charged with the bank robbery
were arrested in Kansas City.
When the Baileyville bank was
robbed, announcement was made that
losses were less than $1,000. But
when Kansas City police arrested
three men after gun fight. property
in possession of the supposed yeggmen
was shown to amount to more than
100000. All of the property was
identified and claimed by the Bailey
Vile bank. Insurance sufficient to
cover the loss of cash was carried by
the bank.
Death of a man shot during the re-
volver duel in Kansas City may block
the bringing of the alleged robbers to
this state for trial. 1t is probable that
all of the men will now be held for
murder charges in Missouri

his head. Few books of fiction-not
even those OF Robert Louis Stevenson
excepted-relate any more thrilling
adventures than those Whale Oil Gus
has experienced in his full and varied
life
One Of the most thrilling expert
ences of Captain Folger's life took
place while whaling in the north seas.
A big whale was harpooned and the
men in the open boat stayed with him
until dark, when they not only lost
| the whale, but also their ship. For
eight days they drifted in the trough
of the sea. At last. unable to longer
bear the agony of starvation, they
| drew lots to see who should become
the food of the others. A youth lost
| flesh sustained the rest of the men
until they were picked up by pass
ing ship.
So Says Captain Flolger.
On another occasion, while he was
a mere youth, Captain Folger, was
| serving aboard a ship which had as
mate man of the utmost brutality.
He entered the forecastle where sick
| sailor lay, seized him by the hair and
| dragging him on deck. compelled him
| to go to work. Whale Oil Gus sided
with the men in the mutiny that fol-
lowed the death of the sailor and that
| night the mate was stabbed to death
| ocean, that Captain F'olger's ship; to-
gether with 81 other whaling vessels,
was crushed in the ice. Since then he
has never returned to the frozen re-
gfons, but there is not a port of any
importance in the world he has not
been in. He can spin interesting
yarns of the Sandwich islanders and
tell how, by applying a solution of
| certain oils to their flesh, they escape
| the huge teeth of the man-eating
Eaar- l. =, Il IL
can tell strange stories Of large islands
| he has explored near Africa and in
| the East Indies, and relate hundreds
| of incidents of breathless interest ex-
| perienced by him during his whaling
| service.
He Speaks II Languages.
On one occasion he fell overheard
| and was in the water fourteen hours
before he was picked up by his COM
panions. He left his home in Nam
tucket, Mass, and ran away when IL
years old, he says. He speaks eleven
different languages but can hardly
write his own name
| Since he left the sea- Captain Fol-
| ger has been touring the country Civ
ing addresses and lectures in various
| schools and educational institutions
| turnout the country, on a free basis.
| At present he is with the Workman
| shows at the Free Fair, where his
| 100 u sc" u OPIiCS may
| be seen. He has been with Wortham m s
1 four years. but intends to retire and
| go to his home in California this fall,
i ne says.
During the war the old skipper ad-
| dressed 2OS,000 soldiers in various
camps of the country. At Camp Lee.
| Virginia, he spoke on nine successive
/ days to $4,000 men. He carries APP
| proximately $4,000 letters written him
by men in all parts of the country,
testifying to his ability to amuse and
| entertain with his salt sea yarns

POWER PLANT |S
 AGAIN RUNNING
 WITH NEW FORCE
After Much Inconvenience
 Since Walk-Out Last Sat urday Plant at Roosevelt
 Has Resumed Operations

Operations at the Roosevelt dam power. plant, the only one of four plants operated by the water users associa- tion affected by the walkout of cleo trical workers last Saturday, was re- sumed yesterday morning. An entire new force of employees is in charge.
 By last evening, conditions had again resumed normal in all sections of the valley. Sufficient power was being supplied for. all purposes, and the emergency steam plant of the Pacific Gas and Electric company, pushed into operation last Sunday, was shut down.
 Likewise sufficient water was being propelled over the spillways by the great water wheels to supply every de mand of farmers. For the past three days, rancherS have been securing only about so per cent of the normal supply. Activities at the Roosevelt plant were resumed in plenty of time to prevent crop damage, it is believed
 All Quiet at Plant
 No demonstration by former cleo trical workers in the employ of the association was attempted when oper- ations were resumed yesterday, offi- cials of the water users association said last evening.
 With the reopening of the Roosevelt plant, the strike incident has been closed insofar as the water users are concerned. The r striking employees have all been discharged and new operators secured to take their places. Guards still are being maintained at all four plants. Officials of the asso- citation declined to state the number of guards engaged, other than to say that "a sufficient number" were sta tioned at the different plants.
 All plants have been closed to visit ors as an additional precautionary feature, it was announced yesterday. This precaution will remain effective for an indefinite period.
 No Construction Work Yet
 No attempt has been made by the association to resume construction work, yesterdays official announce ment said, and no effort has been made to employ new linemen. Employees who remained loyal to the association apparently have no grievances. Presi- dent F. M. Wilkinson of the association stated that the water users officials would gladly meet a committee of present employees to take up such mat ters as the employees might want to present.
 So far, the association has had no grievances whatsoever with any of it's employees, present or past" said one official yesterday afternoon. De mands have been made on us only bv outside people, people whom we refuse to recognize or have anything to do with
 General Superintendent W. R. Elliott remains at the dam in personal super- vision of the situation there.

AIR SERVICE DRIVE
 FUR VOLUNTEERS |S
 GAINING MOMENTUM

With the Curtiss- Hispano plane now at the state fair grounds being re- paired today and ready for action to- morrow and another due 10 return from Globe late today or early in the morning, the Salt River Valley will see renewed activity in the aerial re- cruiting campaign for the air service the end of this week.
 The one plane under the command of Captain L. E. Appleby has been stand ing idle at the landing field at the fair grounds nearly a week now, ever since it brought Miss Grace Sparks and Lieut.. Baker here from Prescott in a thrilling cross country flight 4 pro- peller tip and a few other minor spare parts had to be sent for to get the ship in trim for flying again. and it will be only this morning that they arrive and the repairing can be com pleted
 The other ship in the Rockwell Field recruiting squadron now in this state was taken to Globe yesterday by Lieut.. Wilbur Wright pilot, and Corporal Murphy mechanic to obtain recruits. The return flight will be completed to- day. or early tomorrow
 To complete the recruiting drive started at Globe yesterday by Lieut. Wright, Captain L. Darrow, medical officer of the squadron, and Sergeant Miller will take the big camouflaged staff car to Globe today, via the Apache Trail. starting about 10 o'clock. The return will be made probably Saturday.
 The big staff ear, which got it's first baptism of fire over French roads near the front. was taken to Mesa last night by Captain Appleby to line up plans for an air service recruiting in the south side city.
 At least twelve volunteers from this section will be ready to leave here for Rockwell Field Saturday and Sunday of this week to begin their training for the air service. Probably more will go, but the figure named is taken from Captain Appleby's report to Rockwell Field headquarters yesterday Many other prospects are also in sight for recruiting.
 Incidentally, in this same report of the captains, he lays particular stress on the fact that the air service recruits being obtained in Arizona are much superior in every way to those obtained in California.
