THIEF ARRESTED

Minot, N. D., Nov. 25.-Art Jor-
dan, alias Enhart, alias "Cock-eye
Slim, was arrested at Oser Webb's
hog ranch, the old Begley place, u
half mile west of Minot, by Deputy
Sheriff Vandenocver and Officers
Larson. Kane, Jim OLeary and
Warner. charged with stealing a
Dodge car from D. B. Danner OF
Huron, S. D.
The officials had received te!e-
gram from the Sou:;l Dakota auth
critics stating that Jordan was
headed for Minot and would likelv
arrive Tuesday night and would
proba bly, be found in the negro Sec
ton of the city. Just how the
South Dakota authorities knew this
Isl a mystery but their hunch Vas
correct.

and met Baldwin on FOO; coming
into the city. Asked what he was
coming to town for, he said 10 &c,
some one to help him feel "cbb's

Jordan told Sheriff Scofield that
Pitkins, special agent from Okla

that night and sure enough Pitklns

Jordan is a bad man and a gun
man who would shoot OH the least
provocation. TIe was one OF the
uuartette who stole the r. M. Gra-
ham Buick in Minot a year ago and
was captured in Canada. He es-
caned from South Dakota Jail in
the spring and it is said he has been
stealing cars i'll South Dakota dur
irg the summer and bringing them
tc North Dakota to sell them. He
would then steal cars in North Da-
kota and take them to South Dako-
ia and dispose of them.
Jordan was in a shooting scrape
at Ncrthgate during the summer
when VIM Holt's booze car was held
un. Mre. Holt received wound III
one of her legs at the time.
A reward Of 500 had been OF
fe4red for the arrest of Jordan ana

Nd the opinion of delegates seemed
to indicate that western North Da>
5ota farmers are not much more en-
barrassed financially, than those in
the eastern part of the state. The
explanation for this is. MIR. Hagen

1een poor and tho farmers have been

ticipated in war prices, made many

themselves as short Of money as

Dick was to drop off as soon as the train slowed down enough to make 1t safe. whereas Curly would go on and play Sans part until the proper time.
 The train almost slid to a halt from the pressure of the hard damned brakes. A volley of shots rang out. Curly slipped the mask over his face and rose with revolver in each hand. He had been sitting at the end of the car. so that nobody noticed him until his voice rang out with crisp order.
 Hands upl Don't anybody move !"
 An earthquake shock could not have alarmed the passengers more. The color was washed completely from the faces of most of them.
 Reach for the roof. Come. punch hole in the skyl' To do 1t thorough ly. Curly flung couple of shots through the ceiling. That was enough. Hands went up without any argument. most of them ouvering us from an Arkansas chill.

for existence may be summed up In one word-service service to our country and our comrades. Disabled men and the dependents of those who died always come first.
 ''I regard the agreement we have ef- fected with the r. B. V. A. one of the most important steps we have taken in that direction.
 .'The vocational situation has been generally unsatisfactory the country over, though the evils of faulty admin istrative methods and lack of foresight have been more pronounced In some sections than in others-particularly so in the densely populated districts of the East. Disabled men have not had what they are clearly entitled to have from the government, and the result is they have become discouraged and their confidence in the board has been seriously impaired.
 "The American Legion cannot re- store that confidence. The board must do 1t. The legion only can help, and that 1t means to do. The work would be felcitated ma 'erially if disabled men throughout the country would, without further formality. get in touch with the nearest local post of the American Legion. That will start the wheels moving"

 Dick gave shout of joy when he heard Flandrau's voice.
 "Oh. you Curly I've been scared stiff for fear they'd got you"
 Luck caught the boys hand and wrung 1t hard.
 They held a conference while the Circle c riders handcuffed Dutch and tied him to horse. Soon the posse was off again. having left the prisoner in charge of one of the men. They swung round In wide half circle. not wishing to startle their gang until the proper time.
 When they reached the edge of the mesa that looked down on the Flatiron the moon was out and the valley was swimming in light. They followed the dip of road that led down to the corral. Passing the fenced lane lead Ing to the stable. they tied their ponies them by Culllson.
 They had not long to walt. In less than half an hour three shadowy fig ures slipped round the edge of the cor ral and up the lane. Each of them carried rifle in addition to his hip guns.
 They slid Into the open end of the stable. Cullison's voice rang out coldly.
 Drop your guns!"
 A startled oath. a shot, and before one could have lifted n hand that silent moonlit valley of peace had become n battlefield.
 The outlaws fell back from the stable. weapons smoking furiously. Blackwell broke into n run. never look ing behind him. but Soapy and Bad Bill gave back foot by foot fighting every step of the way.
 Dick and Curly rose from behind the rocks where they had been placed and closed the trap on Blackwell. The paroled convict let out one yell.
 "I give up. Goddlemighty, don't shoot"
 Half way down the lane Cranston was hit In the darkness his voice could he heard. for the firing had mo mentarily ceased.
 They've got me. Soapy. Run for It. I'll hold em back"

 'Dutchi Oh. Dutch!''
 The revolver rim pressed a little harder against the bridge of the horse wrangler's nose.
 "He ain't here." Blackwell called back to his accomplices.
 That brought Stone on the run. You condemned idiot. he must be there. Ain't he had two hours to get here since he left Tin Cup?"
 They shouted themselves hoarse. They wandered up and down In a vain search. All the time Curly and his prisoner sat in the blush and scarcely batted an eye.
 At last Soapy gave up the hunt. The engine and the express car were sent back to join the rest of the train and as soon as they were out of sight the robbers set out across country toward the Flatiron ranch.
 Curly guessed their intentions. They would rustic horses there and head for the border It was the only chance still left them.
 After they had gone Curly and his prisoner returned to the road and set out toward Tin Cup. About mile and half up the line they met Culli-

Bones for the TubercuIous.

Bones as diet for human beings may sound rather strange but in cases of tuberculosis Doctor Berthier of Paris has foundrhem highly beneficial. It is the spongy or cancellous parts of veal bones that he uses. These are about one-half ossein. which is laden with phosphates and carbonates of lime. these salts being much needed by tuberculous persons. who always suffer from decalcification.
 Doctor Berthier describes in bull letin of the Academic de Medicine how he prepares the bones. He se- lects the short. spongy bones. splits them. boils them with vegetables, salt and a piece of meat for almost six hours and then lets his patients pick out with their forks as much of the soft bony matter as they can.
 Another benefit derived from the bones is that they help to prevent de- cay of the teeth

ACTIVITY IN WEST VIRGINIA
Posts of State, According to Depart ment Adjutant's Bulletin, Are
 Busy Doing Things.

A recent bulletin issued by Louis A. Carr, department adjutant for the American Legion of West Virginia, re- ports activities of the various legion posts in that state as follows:
 Post No. A of Phillippi. w. Va. re- gently presented minstrel show and realized a substantial sum for the ter ritory. The post will conduct me morial service.
 George D. Jackson post No. 56 of Kingwood, w. Va. Is organizing women's auxiliary and making ar engagements for permanent post club. rooms.
 Potomac post of Shepherdstown probably has come nearera than any other post in the state to enrolling every returned sailor. soldier or ma rine in its community. From the terri tory from which 1t draws it's mem bers the post claims to have gathered in every eligible person except five.
 Carksburg, Elkins and Parkersburg posts recently contracted with the the arrangements of the Boston-De- troit baseball teams for games in their respective cities.

 Officials of the board. fin accepting the plan put forth by the legion, de- clare the combination of effort will solve some of the bodys most difficult problems. The arrangement is expect ed to retrieve a situation which has brought the legion and the board into repeated controversies in the past and has provoked much criticism of the board, together with congressional investigation of it's alleged dereliction of duty and failure to fulfill the coun- trys pledged obligations to the men who gave their health and strength in battle.
 The legion's proposal calls for the formation of an organization in each state which will seek out the disabled men in every community, examine their cases and present them to the proper officials of the board for admis- sion to training. A department voca- tional officer will be appointed in each state and attached to state headquar- ters of the legion. A vocational officer also will be chosen in each of the more than 5000 posts of the legion throughout the country, and confer ences of all post officers will be held within the state during the next two months to insure uniform procedure. The whole project will be under the direction of the national vocational officer at American Legion headquar- ters in Indianapolis.
 Gerald J. Murphy of Rutland, vt.. has been named national vocational officer by National Commander Frank lin D'Olier.
 "The legion's action il this matter was taken not through choice but a sense of duty" said Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant and chairman of the special legion committee of three which investigated the vocational situ- ation, recommended and devised the program of cooperative effort with the board.
