is COLLEGE GRADUATE
Scout for Lower East Side Gang 10
Man of Education and Refinement
-He Just Gets the News
and Passes It On.

New York-Probabli the thief was
q liar. Most thieves are. But he said
that the scout for his lower East side
gang is a college graduate.
HE comes from a grand family,
too," said he. "Ihat's how he can
talk to desc danes. If 1 was to try
to make 'em I'd go down for the
count"
This scouts job is to spend his
spare hours-and all of his hours are
spare-in the flash uptown restau-
rants and night clubs. He spends his
money freely, is an excellent dancer
can Sing a good song we'll and talks
easily. He marks down foolish wom-
en- who wear too many jewels or spend
too much money. Then he gets ac-
quainted with them.
"He never turns trick himself"
said the thief. Always he has a per-
feet alibi. He just gets the news and
passes 1t on to u.s."
No Hint of CIew.
Not long ago there was a jewel rob-
berry which occupied for few days
a prominent place on New York's first
pages. A woman had been held up on
her return to her home late at night
and her jewels taken from her. The
police haven't hint of a clew as yet,
though it is said the men who turned
the trick are we'll known.
Sometimes the scout for the thieves
is a sort of an underlined Raffies.
The original Raffles of fiction did not
rob his friends and was courageous
enough to do the robbing in person.
The contemplate RafIles Of today
hangs on the other edge of Broadway's
night society and is paid a commission
on the fence value Of the loot pro-
cured through his conniyance. The

We have heard some good-natured
inquiries of Mis- Lowman in regards
to an automobile tragedy of some kind.
Try as we may we cannot arrive at
the facts, but when we do-Oh, boy!
We have had several criticisms in
regards to our article on John Nc
Cullough wherein we mentioned that
he had gone through the great War
without a schatch. We interviewed
Mr.. Mccullough in regards to this
matter and learned from him person
ally that he had received only slight
scratch on the hand of no consequence
whatever, which did not incapacltate
him from his heroic work. Neverthe-
less, the War Department listed it as
a wound.

Nine Pups Are Captured by Posse
That Afterward Visited the

Connellsville. Pa.-Running wild for
two years, after being lost in the
wilds of the Indian Creek Valley by a
Pittsburgh hunter, an Airedale dog
attacked and injured James G. Mum
son, well-known Connellsville man,
who was hunting in that section of
the country.
It was with difficulty that Munson
beat off the dog, which tore his cloth
ir& and flesh in several places.
Only the whine Of pups near by pre-
vented Munson from killing the canine.
Nine pups about six weeks old were
taken by members Of posse which
went into the mountains when the at
tack was reported by Munson. The
mother dog was not seen, but hunters
who have encountered the animal say
she is as savage as any wolf they ever

The efficiency OF The Fort Sumner
!. S. Land Office has attracted our
Y ttention more than once, consequent
! we aret glad to give those connect
d with this office little of the much
armed praise.
The office is in charge of Mr..
samundo Harrison, as Receiver and
" R. McGin, Register. Mr.. Harri-
on is of Spanish ancestry, whose
ype it is7a pleasure to meet for the
courtesy and refinement are so pro-
bounced, whenever matters are placed
before him, the are considered with
the good judgment that years of ex-
perience in the office have given.
Next, we come to our friend W. r.
McGXll the Register, an old "War
Horse" of the Democratic Party, woh
has filled the office with credit to
the Government and himself, his
Knowledge of legal lore has made him
an asset to the office and he is ever
ready to assist the homesteader. Both
these gentlemen are Presidential ap-
pointees, so the future is case of
"Quien Sabe."
Now, we have the Civil Service men
in the office. H. B Hensley, fine,
agreeable gentleman, is always ready
to be consulted and his time and
knowledge are always at the disposal
of anyone requiring his able assis-
tance in the intricate parts of the
Lad business and whose advice should
should always be needed, having spent
the greater part of his life in this de-
partment, is thoroughly qualified.
Then we have Frank Robinson,
whose affable manner and innate
courtesy make consulting him a pleas
ure. His station is in an inner office,
as he handles the "hard dope" that
comes in from Washington, and con-
sequently does not come into contact
with the public, as some of the others.
Last but not least, we have the
congenial C. R. Wilkinson, (ofr we
have something to say of him) who
also has spent years in the department
and knows the game from A to q.
No item is to large or ttoo small but
Mr.. Wilkinson has the information
right there. "To the Victor belong
the Spoils." Mr.. Wilkinson has the
endorsement of De Baca County for
the office of Registrar and we are
glad that he has, being qualified and
thoroughly capable of handling the
office in a mastery way, and after
years of faithful service with this de-
partment, we feel that he should have
the appointment. Let's hope he re-
ceives his just deserts.
Listen, you Homesteaders, for ad-
vice, or information, we assure you
that you are receiving the best the
Government can give, for the office
contains staff of good men, cour-
teous, loyal and true.
