parent. Appleby refused the offer
and pressed on. Nearly dead, he
arrived at Missouri Valley, and
there was given aid. Later, friends
took him to Minneapolis and from
there he went to Wisconsin, where
his capture took place yesterday.
Detective Dolan will take no
chances on the alleged bandit escap-
ing and will have shackles and an
Oregon boot of 20 pounds weight
to guard against it.
Made Jail Break.
Appleby is known to be desperate.
Attempts by friends to aid him at
any point along the route back to
Omaha will be closely watched.
Under the name of Jack" Leone
ard, police say Appleby escaped
from the Douglas county Jail in 1905.
Friends struggled in saws and files
and with four others Leonard, then
awaiting trial for robbery, made a
getaway.
With Appleby's arrest "fnis" will
probably be written on the records
of a gang of bandits whose opera
tions in the middle west had given
them a countrywide reputation.
Mckay in Trouble.
Thomas Mckay, one of the men
tried in Omaha for Detective
Rooney's death and the Malashock
was arrested last week in
Huron, S. D., and will soon face
trial for a diamond robbery there.
Mckay was acquitted when tried
here.
The date Of Appleby's arrival in
Omaha can only be conjectured.
Should the governor of Wisconsin
sign extradition Dolan will have his
man here in three days.
In that event the accused bandits
trial will take place during the
spring term of court.

Wife's Anxiety for Bandit
Husband Leads to Arrest
OfMan Wanted for Murder
Alleged Slayer of Detective Frank Rooney Will Be
Brought Here for Trial; Was Member of Gang
Which Held Up Omaha Jewelry Store
Last January.

Shackled and manacled, "Jim"
Appleby, alleged member of the Kirk
gang of bandits, will be brought to
Omaha to face trial for the staying
of Detective Frank Rooney Janu-
ary 80, 1918. He is expected to ar
rive here one day this week.
A woman's anxiety to save her
bandit-husband from a trial for muir
der is said by police to have led to
the discovery of Appleby's identity,
following his escape from the plum
der-bungalow on North Fourteenth
street.
The woman is said to be Mrs.
Beryl c. Kirk, wife of the leader Of
the bandit gang, which staged the
daylight robbery of the Malashock
Jewelry store a year ago and looted
the place Of gems valued at $4,000.
She told the police Appleby was the
man who committed the murder.
Appleby made getaway from the
bungalow while a gun-battle between
police and the robbers was in pro-
gress. The others were surprised
while dividing the loot.

who the missing sixth member of
the gang was until the woman's love
for Kirk gave them the tip" Kirk,
Sam Stone, Harry Williams and

terms in the Nebraska state prison
for the crime, refused to divulge the
sixth mans name,
Appleby was arrested Saturday
morning by Detective Felix Dolan
of the Omaha police department at
Gordon, Wis, after the police had
been on his trail for several months.
Plans To Make Fight.
He will fight extradition, but his
fight apparently will be losing one,
for Detective Dolan, with extradi-
ton papers and a signed statement
of Harry Malashock, proprietor of
the jewelTy store, which was the
scene of the most daring daylight
holdup in the history of the state,
that Appleby was one of the men,
is forearmed for the fight.
Makes Daring Escape.
Diamonds valued at $1,000 have
never been recovered, according to
Malashock. Appleby is supposed to
have had these in his possession
when he escaped. MI
His escape from the plunder-bun-
galow, where the bandits were gath
cred to divide their stolen wealth
from the Malashock store, was one

THE COUNTY AUDIT

We print today the report of

made of the books, of account of
the County Commissioners of
Anne Arundel County for the
year ended June 30 last.
1t will be seen from the audit
that a very careful and exhaus-
tive examination has been made
of the county's financial affairs,
and the facts and figures set
forth, so that any taxpayer may
study them at length, and insti-
tute comparisons and make de-
auctions. This audit puts before
every taxpayer complete and
authoritative view of the coun-

being well and accurately kept,

1t is interesting to note that al
though the expenditures for the
fiscal year were nearly $1,000
$6,S90.S, to be exact-more than
the Levy of 1918, the County
Commissioners had an excess of
income over the total amount of
expenditures Of $22, 56s.36. The
amount of the Levy last year was
$401 ,306.l5. From interest the
County Commissioners received
$10,063.21, and from licenses,
fees, etc, ST., S95.96, so that the
total income of the Board was
$4e4,2 65.6S.
Certain disbursements had to
be made during the year that
could not be foreseen when the
Levy was made up, and these
amounted to sG,s9O.s7, making a
net expenditure of $4O1,691.3s.

ExTRAyAGANCE AND C0NCEIT

entrusted to them by the people.
EXTRAVAGANCE AND CONCEIT
The man who said conceit was
at the bottom of every extrava-
gance knew good deal about hui
man nature. Few men would
pay 81 for a tie that did not look
as if it cost 81 and the girls who
are buying $500 fur coats on in
stallments out of salary of $l5
a week would care little for such
a coat if the only place they could
wear it were in an asylum for
the blind.
A modern philosopher says, i
conclude that dissatisfaction is a
common human ailment and that
might as well be unhappy with
what | have as unhappy with
what | can't afford"
Thousands of Americans are
dissipating their savings in ex-
travagant purchases purely
through conceit. And it is blind
conceit which dcceivcs no one but
the extravagant ones themselves.
When a man goes into store to
buy a Sc hat which he can afford
comes out with a SIG hat which
has forced him to break into his
savings, he does not impress the
clerk who sells it or his friends
woh see him wear it.
But he has injured them all and
himself also. He has aided to di-
vert production from necessities
to non-necessities, he has helped
keep up prices, and has with
drawn potential capital from pos
sible use in increasing industry.
For himself, he has weakened his
defense against old age, sickness
and loss of employment and de-
pleted his offensives in the battle
for success.
Failure to save is too high a
price to pay for the pampering of
conceit. The only safety against
extravaganza. lies in thrift and
saving. Liberty Bonds, War
Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates may not
make flashy show but they are
more impressive than any extra
VACANT possession money can
buy. They afford protection to
savings, future and character and
are sure roads to possession of
the things really needed and de-
sired.
