F Or Gets HER
SOLDIER HUSBAND
GETS HIS INSURANCE AND THEN
LEAVES HIS MOTHER TO
BURY HIM.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, July When
When Acie Grisham went away to
war he insured his life for 100000
and the policy was made out TO his
wife. Today the Young soldiers body
is on it's way back TO Cedar Rapids
for burial and there is only the 500
given by the government with which
to bury it.
The story is one of the saddest
and strangest that has ever come to
the attention of the American Legion
post here. Grisham was assistant
manager of a five and ten cent store
at Council Bluffs when the United
States declared war on Germany. He
had a young wife, but was drafted
into the army. One of his first
acts, after being sent to Camp
Dodge, was to insure his life in his
wife's favor.
After two months in France the
boy was taken i'll with typhoid fever,
died and was buried. The young
wife was notified at her home in
Council Bluffs She got into com
munication with the soldiers mother
here and expressed a desire that
when the body was returned TO Am
erica it be given burial in Council
Bluffs. Mrs. Grisham, senior. ac-
quiesed and nothing more was
thought of the matter until a short
time ago when the mother learned
that her former Gaughter-in-law had
married a sailor and that they were
living in California. She also was
Informed that the former widow of
her son had bought her mother
home in Council Bluffs and that part
of the insurance money had been ex-
pended 70 rit.
The government has notified Mrs.
Grisham that her sons body is in
Hoboken and will be sent here for
burial at the expressed wish of his
widow. Mrs. Grisham has a large
family and is Unable to give the body
the burial she would like to- A
newspaper has undertaken to raise
subscription to give it proper inter-
ment.

READY To FIGHT
TODEFE|VD FLAG
WAR VETERANS WARN SOCIAL
IST MEETIN GAGAINST
DISLOYALTY.

Detroit, July Fifty delegates
to defend the flag against sedition,
American War Veterans of the World
War invaded the socialist national
convention shortly after noon today
and warned the socialists that the
veterans are ready to fight again
to defend the flag against sedition,
disloyalty and treason.
Ralph Horr of Seattle, who led the
invading veterans told the socialists
that advocates of force would be met
with force and invited the radicals to
"step outside if they wanted TO fight
for their beliefs
Horr quoted from printed reports
of the remarks of J. Louis Engdahl
to the general effect that his section
of the party would fight mot as 100
per cent Americans but under the
red flag of international social
ism.'
Il hope these reports do not repre-
sent the sentiment of your conven-
tion," Horr said, but, if they do, we
have come to tell you that it is our
intention to deal with these people.
We have had occasion in Seattle tc
use machine guns to stamp out dis
loyalty, sedition and treason and
those guns can be used again.

SOLVES WINNER
MAIL ROBBERY
MYSTERY OVER POUCH
SACKING.

Sioux Falls, July Following
what is thought to have been i
series of mail robberies extending
over a period of three years, with at
least one of them committed in this
state, Joseph E. Quellet, alias H. j..
Roehel has been arrested and put in
the jail at Lincoln, Neb., according to
v. C. Bate, postal Inspector The
South Dakota haul, with which Quel-
let is connected, was pulled at Win
ner on April 5, 1919, when a mail
pouch was mysteriously rifled, and
a registered letter containing $500
in currency was taken.
No clue could be found as to the
thief. The pouch had not been cut
The letter had simply disappeared.
There were 81 registered letters in
the pouch, but only one was taken.
Last week Quellet was caught at
Falls City, Neb., just as he was open
ing a pouch. 1t was discovered that
he had stolen a mail pouch key
somewhere, and for the last three
years had been Systematically rifling
sacks. He is "obomer'' telegraph
operator, working as relief man, and
in this way managed to turn robber-
les in many cities in the middle west,
while being transferred At the
time the Winner job was pulled he
was in the town only two days.
He has also been connected with a
job at Falls City, the place at which
he was captured, on August 5, 1918.
AT that time $4,000 was taken
In addition to his Falls City work,
Quellet has been connected with rob-
berries at Oakdale, Neb., on April %,
1919. hen ten registered letters were
taken, and on July 8, 1920, when
fourteen registered letters disappear
ed.
Working as he did, jumping from
one town to another on legitimate
business, and having a mail key, so
that it always looked like an inside
job, Quellet has proved an elusive
man for the department 1t would
have been almost impossible to locate
the leak, as mail keys are seldom
lost, in fact only one has been stolen
in South Dakota in the last ten or
twelve years.
1t is not known on which charge
Quellet will be tried, but probably
on the Falls Cit yjob.
We have only started our inves-
LEGATIONS" declared Mr.. Bate today,
"and it is probable that we will con-
meet Quellet with many more rob-
berries. We will start a systematic
trace of all the places in which he
has worked for the last few years,
and find if any robbefes were pull
ed at the towns in which he stayed. /"

SHERIFF LOST HIS
AUTOMOB|LEBA BAIT
HAD PLACED CAR EXPECTING
TO CATCH A THIEF
FAILED.

Aberdeen, July /. A deputy
sheriff received a severe jolt when a
car which had been set out as their
bait under his guard disappeared
while he was eating lunch. His anx-
iety was quickly alleviated however,
when he discovered that another arm
of the law had fallen for his game.
Last Monday Sheriff Eliot of
Aberdeen was notified thaa car was
found near the cit ylimits on Seventh
avenue, striped of its license num-
bers. The sheriff had it driven to
the court house to await the arrival
OF its owner A little later, Sheriff
Eliot conceived the idea of taking the
Ford back TO where it had been found
and stationing d deputy sheriff to
guard it in hope that the theft might
cali for the car and could be nabbed.
So the car was driven back to
where it had been found. Two sher-
ifs were detailed to watch the car
in half day shifts. The plan worked
smoothly enough for a day or two
But one noon the two guards failed
to make connections and during the
short interval in which the car was
left unguarded Officer Reese of the
police department drove up and tow
ed the Ford to the police station
In the meantime word had been
received that a car answering the de-

DEMPSEY CARPENTER
FIGHT IS READY
DEMPSEY WILL Do THE BCSI-
NESS WITH LEFT, SAYS
CORRESPONDENT

New York, July lack Demp-
sey will finish Georges Carpenter as
soon as he hits him with his left
hand. Maybe It will be in the first
round, perhaps not until the third
but not later than the fifth. That's
my opinion after watching both prin-
cipals up until the last minute" says
Henry Farrell, United Press staff
correspondent.
Itseems that Carpenter tsock has
jumped greatly within the last forty
eight hours. Some Dempsey hackers
are seeking lower odds than three 10
one. Both of the fighters are in
perfect condition today The arena,
seating $1,000 people was completed.
The weather forecast for tomorrow
says fair.

COSTUME WAS NOT COMPLETE
Clarence Felt Napoleon Could Not Be
Properly Depicted Without Those
"scrubbIna Brushes"

The children in the nursery were
playing and Clarence had taken up
on himself the task of representing
Napoleon, picture of whom he had
encountered in an illustrated volume
belonging to his father.
At the urgent request of Clarence,
mother provided him with paper
hat, to which he added a plume
forcibly taken from = neighbor's
chicken. He then provided himself
with belt belonging to father and
devised serviceable sword of wood.
After consulting the portrait of Ma
poleon for the last time, he discov-
cred that something was wanting in
his own makeup.
Mother, however, thought that he
looked all right to which Clar-
ence took exception, saying:
"No, mother. I'm not complete.

WILD BIRDS.

Wild birds have returned to the
British isles this year in full force,
and have received the welcome they
deserve. From various parts Of the
country letters arrive commenting
on the birds and their ways. 1t is
just as well that the visitors have
not all as many different names as
the hedge sparrow. He is called
hedge-aceentor, h e d 6 e-c ha n ter,
hedge warbler, hedge-creeper, hedge
Betty, hedge-chat, hedge-Mike,
hedge-spick, hedgehog, or hedgy,
which seems almost too familiar for
one with so many titles; but he is
also the blue dunnock, or drnnock,
the blue sparrow, or blue Isaac, or
blue jig, or, to very intimate friends,
Billy or Billy hedge sparrow. And,
after all, he is quite a modest little
person, and has no more use for all
his names and titles than modern
duke has for his. Christian Science

HAVE SOME STRANGE POWER
Remarkable That indian Fzkirs Have
Faculty of Remaining Practically
Dead for Weeks.

The fakirs of India, according to
stories coming from that country,
have peculiar faculty for throwing
themselves into a trance, suspend
ing all the activities of life, and re-
manning for many weeks not only
without food, but also without wa
ter and with very scanty supply Of
air, an exchange states.
They begin their performance by
taking dose of bhang, a powerfully
SIMPLIFYING drug. Then they are
lowered into a tomb, where they re-
main in a profound trance for from
six to eight weeks. When resur-
rected they are wan, haggard, weak
and wasted.
No explanation of this extraordi-
nary power is forthcoming. Inves-
legations prove that the pulse cannot
be felt and there is no evidence that
the heart continues to beat. The
performer of the apparent miracle
does not appear to breathe, and
makes no movement whatever.
The power resembles that of hi
bernating animals. A marmot can
live six months without food or wa
ter, and the story is told of a Won
derful Egyptian snail which was
brought from Egypt apparently
dead, in 1845, and placed in the
British museum. Five years later
a growth was noticed on its mouth,
and on being taken from the card
to which it was gummed and placed
in water it soon became active and
ate cabbage leaves.

AUTHORS FLIGHTS OF FANCY
odd Declarations of Books That Are
Not All Complimentary, but Some

morous, remarks the Detroit News.
