Federal Government
Picks Up Clyde Smith
Man Well Known in Sank Centre
Charged With Dealing in Stolen
Liberty Bonds

Many Sank Centre people will re-
member Clyde A. Smith, brother of
"Big Jack" of "Wild Horse" notori-
ETY.. "Big Jack" recently lost his ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court and will go to the Federal
prison.
While acting as private detective
Clyde was mixed up in several shady
automobile transactions. 1t is appar-
ent that he has graduated from the
auto game into the disopsing of
stolen government securities. Clyde
was arrested at Rochester last week
while attempting to dispose of $751;
600 worth of government securities
at Rochester, MINI. A woman ac-
complete, Mrs. C. Bearse, was arrest
ed in Minneapolis, and several thou
sand dollars worth Of securities were
found in her home.
The government has been working
to get the goods" on this pair of
crooks for the past Is months, and
claim they are the head of a $780,
900 bond swindle.
It is said that Smith was not the
least excited by his arrest and
strongly protests his innocence. Sank
Centre folks who knew something of
the characteristics of Clyde and Jack
are not the least bit surprised over
the latter's present predicament.

COUNTY BOARD
REJECTS HIGHWAY
BRIDGE OVER THE NARROWS
PROVES STUMBLING BLOCK
TO NEW ROUTE
no new ACTION CONSIDERED
COMMISSIONER BORGMANN Of
FERS SUBSTTTUTE-PLAN
i DID NOT MATERIALIZE

The Sank Centre-Long Prairie
highway project calling for the bridg-
ing of the Narrows and the straight
ening of the state road between the
two cities, lis now apparently dead,
for the time being at least.
The Stearns County Board of Gem
missioneers, in session at St. Cloud
last Wednesday, vetoed the plan.
The stumbling block to the whole
proceedings was the bridging of the
"Narrows" the Commission being Of
the opinion that this would be too
expensive an undertaking.
The general plan called for a new
ruote running through Round Prairie
which would do away with many of
the dangerous curves in the present
Long Prairie highway and would
shorten the route between Sank Cen
tire and Long Prairie by about three
miles.
Commissioner Ferd Borgmann of
Sank Centre, suggested to the Com
missioners that the highway plan be
carried out with the exception of the
bridge plan, urging that with Sank
Lake frozen lover, the route could be
used through the winter months and
that later, the required bridge over
the lake could be built.
This suggestion, however, did not
meet with popular favor and the is
sue died.
What action the Todd county board
will take in the matter will probably
be governed largely by the results
Of the st. Cloud meeting.
The committee of Sank Centre and
Round Prairie business men who are
interested in this project will hold a
meeting in this city soon to discuss
the issue and it is then probably that
a substitute plan of preceedute will
be offered the Board of Commits
sioners.
Over 200 persons signed the petit
ton asking for the highway, copy
of which was filed with both the
Stearns and Todd County boards.
