Boy Scout Notes

The program at the Tabernacle
was very good and attended by a
large audience. There are some real
performers and talented boys among
the Scouts. We hope to give them
other opportunities to entertain.
Plans for the next summers trip
are well advanced. The trip is a GER
tainty if any of the Scouts fulfill
the requirements. Much of our sue
cess depends on the parents and
Scout masters. Parents to help and
encourage the boys at home, send
him to scout meeting regularly. The
Scoutmaster to be on the job with
sufficient plans in his mind to keep
the Scouts busy. When the lucky
ones start on their long trip to Mon
tana next summer, there's likely to
be some bitter regrets in the hearts
of the unlucky ones because they
did Mt study and work little hard
er.
We want the names of all boys
who expect to try for the trip. The
proposition is open to all boys of
Scout age of Liberal and vicinity.
Any boy can make an application
now and finish in ample time.
Better wake up, boys, or the prop
osition will be made to the girl
scouts, leaving the boys at home.

Gazette reporter, last night Sheriff
Clark said that Bocman was one of
the few prisoners in the jail that did
not show his face. He said that the
man would lie on his bunk during
tie most of the day and sleep. Only
few times would take the privi-
leges allowed him and go into the
corridor to the sunlight, Sheriff
Clark said.
Following the peculiar escape
Sheriff Clark received letter from
a man who commanded the company
with which Bocman served in the
1rmy. The letter was written in re-
7ponse to Bocman's appeal for mon
ey with which to pay his fine. and
costs when his case came up in the
district court. The captain refused
us assistance and told Sheriff Clark
hat Bocman, while in the army, was
considered a religious fanatic" and
that he went under the name, "Fath-
r" Bocman and spent much time
reading religious publications and
he Bible.
Bocman was arrested in Liberal

cAMoUFLAGED AS CHURCH
MAN PRISONER ESCAPES

Hutchinson Gazette:
His "outside clothes" and book
resembling a Bible in his hand were
the "camouflage" used by j. A. Boo
man, arrested at Liberal on August
10 last, and until October 2, confin-
ed in the Reno county jail on the
charge of stealing three suits of
mems clothing from the Wolff Rich
ardson store, when he walked out Of
the Jail, past BOTH Sheriff w. T.
Clark and Jailer B. Frost and gained
his liberty.
Bocman was prisoner in the To-
wer "bull-pen" and on Sunday, Oc-
tober 2, when members of the Holt
; ness Bible School were admitted to
the corridor, he, with the rest of the
risoners was allowed to listen to the
regular Sunday sermon, which is de-
liverel by delegations from one of
- Hutchinson churches each Sun
day.
AS is the custom the members of |
he Holiness Bible School delega-
IN were locked in the corridor with
the prisoners. The door to the indiv- |
idual cells were left open and each
prisoner was allowed the freedom of |
the corridor with the members of the
church delegation.
But on this particular date, Boo
IN decided not to appear with the
'a'nainder of the prisoners to hear
the sermon. He remained in his open
and during the services donned
best suit of clothes, SLOUGH hat
d collar and tie.

.en to the outside. AS the delegation
lked from the outer door of the
iail, Bocman went with them until
he was nearly to the street. There he

TAXES WILL BE HIGHER

Any taxpayer who is credulous
enough to put any faith in the state,
ments OF the Republican, politicians
who are industriously circulating the
talk that taxes will be no higher I'M
der the Hyde assessment is due ror
an awful shock when he goes to pay
his taxes under the new assessment.
The State taxes alone will be over
one hundred per cent higher on
Bates county farm lands and the state
levy is one OF the least with which t.,e
Bates county farmer has to contend.
Under the 1920 assessments Ia
cents paid the taxes OH valuation OF
500 for state purposes. Under the
Hyde increase in assessment the levy
is reduced to 1916 true enough, but
that same $Ioo valuation increases
from $1oo to 5000 and the tax will be
as cents or an increase OF more than
one hundred per cent ON the state
tax alone.
The situation cannot be altered
The Republicans are in the saddle and
are committed to the Hyde FULL vail'e
assessment plan, but the taxpayers
have nothing to gain by deluding
themselves into the belief that their
taxes will not be higher. because they
will.

even after a little child only miracu-

his diabolical methods. If the perpe-

made OF him that will forever deter
any other fiend OF d2praved mental
ity from repeating the crime in this

The Kansas City police are KEEP

and investigating afterwards. One
night last week two policemen saw
n Gingery unlocking the front DOR

a burglar they ordered him to put Tip
his hands. Gingery mistook the po-
lice, who were not in uniform, Tor
holdups and ran. He was badly
wounded when both policemen,
opened fire on him.
