New Leak. Proof Inner TUBE Is
Self Repairing

A pneumatic tube which can
be depended upon to hold its
temper, and air, under the point
ed attacks of nails, tacks, glass,
etc., is described, with illustra-
tion in the March Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. A western
inventor has worked out a
method of making tube which
is of greater cross. sectional diam
eter than that of the casing with
which it is used. This is accom-
plished by molding the tube in
such way that the sides COL
lapse inward in four places oyer
its complete diameter when it is
debated. This has the effect of
decreasing its diamater SO that
it can be installed in the casing.
The collapsed portions on each
side of the tread are indented
with depressions about the size
of the small end of an egg. Upon
initiation, in the casing. the COL
lapsed cavities expand. causing
the tube walls to be subjected to
a considerable pressure, and also
to be somewhat thickened. Any
thing causing a puncture is SIM
ply extracted, no mending being
necessary, as it is claimed that
the tube walls will instantly
compress and close the hole so
tightly that leakage is impossi-
BILE. 1t is also asserted that the
a-in. thick walls greatly strength
en- the casing.

+. G. Upton, made confession to At
torney Percy McLare, Of Kenmare,
and Watkins in Kenmare yesterday,
Cloutier implicated the Kenmare
gang in several store robberies and
the robbing Of the bank at Lunds
Valley in August. He claims John
Ward, C. H. Burns, Charles yelling,
slayer of policeman Nelson, Of Ken
mare, and who, it has been learned,
is an escaped lifer from Iowa and
himself were in on the bank job at
Lunds Valley. Cloutier states that
he, Burns, yelling and Jack Longre
were in on the attempt to rob the
store at White Earth when they were
foiled by the presence Of night
watchman. The same five robbed
the Grand store he says, while Well
ing, Burns, and himself were in on
the robbing of the Farmers Coop
erative store at Kermit. He denies
being present and doing the shooting
when the gang met Officers Bussen
and Powers, but claims Longre, Well
ing, Ward, Butler and Frank Kerr
The Ward County independent., 1921-10-06

As an Independent representative
was "rubbering" about the county
bastile Monday in search of local color
he accidentally ran into Frank Rose,
otherwise known as "Dago" Frank,
who is doing a matter of four months
for being too lavish in hospitality.
In other words Frank should have
been more discreet in his choice Of
in the tolls he was let go on suspend
ed sentence but the second time the
Watkins squad descended upon the
hapless Frank it was found that he
had concocted another batch Of
''home brew" with which to enliven
the frequent feasts to which his
more intimate friends were invited.
Not that anyone has ever accused
Frank of disposing his products in
the marts of trade but merely that
whatever else might garnish the
board when Frank entertained there
must be either vinous or malt bev-
erages, for what would feast be
without something in the nature of q
Joy water to instill merriment and
Jest? Being a true son of the
island of Malta, famed for it's blue
and perfect Italian skies needs must
that the guest be properly entertained
True, but not while the Watkins
sleuths lurked in the offing. Well, in
any event Frank is in the custody OF
our good sheriff, A. P. Scofield, which
accounts for our finding him at the
hotel de Scofield. Upon inquiry We
learn that Rose is model prisoner
and is given certain liberties as is
customary in institutions of this char
acter where the offense is not Of 8
criminal character. Were all that

are guilty of like offenses to be inn
pounded it is reasonable to presume
that an addition of considerable pro-
portions would be necessary to the
Sheriff's domicile. Together with
other TRUSTEES" Frank is allowed a
latitude that comports with the de-
ment coupled with the fact of being
trustworthy.
On Friday Of last week when a
couple Of the prisoners desired to
unite their lot in the holy bonds of
matrimony and lacking the necessary
wherewith to purchase trousseau,
Franks generous heart provided coin
of the realm and paid the requisite
marriage 1.-THE beside. And then, to
make the celebration complete and in
keeping with the very latest style in
such cases made and provided, Frank
cooked up six gallons of "mulligan"
reinforcer with twenty loaves of
bread, and all the inmates whose
conduct had been such as to merit
the privilege, were invited to partake
It was a most fitting climax to an
otherwise colorless wedding-we say
colorless, which, perhaps, is not the
proper adjective, as the authorities
of two counties were, bent upon for
bidding the banns and the affair in
consequence partook more Of the
nature of an elopment, which, to say
the least, is usually full Of color
Anyhow, Frank is easily the most
popular "star" boarder in the sheriff's
keeping. We are informed by .Jailo1
Mccartney that Rose is a model pris.
oner and his word can be depended
upon at all times. Several Of
Franks fellowboarders are penniless
The Ward County independent., 1921-10-06

and Frank supplies them with Gig
arettes and tobacco. Rose declares
that out of family of fourteen he is
the only one to have ever been in
durance vile.
Notwithstanding the utmost vigi-
lance exercised by the sheriff and his
faithful deputies, occasionally there
occur events that are wholly unlocked
for, such as visitors supplying in
mates with hack-saws and such like
handy utensils. On Saturday, for in
stance, when Jailor Mccartney OBJ
served a well-known character about
town standing near one Of the outside
windows in earnest conversation with
an inmate, his suspicious were
aroused, and searching that particular
cell he found four hack-saws which
had been passed thru the grating
wrapped in newspaper. 1t is need
less to say that said well-known
character has been conspicuous for his
absence wherever Jailor Mccartney
might catch glimpse of him.
Ward County, Jail at the present
time is harboring some Of the tough
est characters who have infested
this section in years. The most des.
perate is the man yelling, or Smith
as he is rightly known. This killer
of three men would not have an in
stant's hesitation in adding few
more notches to his gun, were he pro.
vided with that weapon. Leave il
to Ward County's sheriff, said mar
Smith will never enjoy that privilege
while in the county Jail. They are
taking no chances with this fellow.
