JIMMY TOWNSEND RUNS Y DOWN, CAPTURES ROBBERS

We read in Los Angeles paper that our old friend Jimmie Townsend captured a bank robber this week, at San Gabriel, thus making himself a single handed hero of the town. Fur thermore Jimmie had to run half a mile before he caught up with said bank robber, which is surprise for his Mehave County friends. We didn't know he was a half mile man.
 Following is the story clipped from the Los Angeles Herald:
 "A lone bandit, armed with an acid throwing pistol and wearing a blue handkerchief mask, was captured to- day after he had attempted to rob the Bank of San Gabriel. Refusal of President William R. Fee to comply with the bandits command to hold up his hands frustrated the robbery.
 The bandit was captured by citizens after a chase of half mile and turn ed over to Deputy Sheriff P. P. Will Hams. He was taken to the county jail, where he gave the name of Henry Boyd.
 Can't Reach Valuables
 The bandit gained entrance to the bank during the night, according to sheriff's reports. Apparently unable to open the vault or to obtain valu- ables from locked compartments, he remained hidden in the directors room until the bank was opened.
 President Fee entered the directors room and was confronted by the ban dit, who ordered Fee to hold up hls hands. Instead of complying with the command, the president called for help. ,,,
 Cashier Frank Forgey grabbed a revolver and calling to men on the street, ran towards the room. The bandit, waving his pistol and with the blue handkerchief around his neck, ran from the bank to the street.
 Men Give Chase
 As the man started across a field toward an orange grove, James Ii. Townsend, son of the vice president of the bank, who had stopped at the San Gabriel postoffice en route to his offices in Los Angeles, took up the chase.
 Townsend was joined by two mer- chants named Yorba and Wolfe. Af- ter a chase of half a mile the three

citizens overlook the fugitive.
 The bandit halted and, holding his hand in his coat pocket, called that he was armed and would shoot if the men approached. ".
 Leaps on Suspect
 As a ruse, Townsend called out that he believed they had made a mistake and had chased the wrong man. Act ing as though to walk away, Town send walked by the man and sudden ly leaped at him, pinning the arm of the fugitive to his side. Boyd was quickly overpowered by the three men.
 Boyd was returned to the bank, where he was identified by President Fee and Cashier Forgey. The blue handkerchief, thrown away during the flight, was recovered. The acid pis- tol was empty.
 Officers said Boyd apparently was novice as bandit. He had but six cents in his pockets when he was searched at the county jail.

What are the duties a wife owes a hus- band who steadily drags her downward? What shall she do when another offers fine, true love that would lift her up? These are the questions asked and an- swered in this one. A story that blends the spiritual beauty of Something to think about" with the flare and silken fashion of "Why Change Your Wife". More thrillingly realistic, more sump- tuously staged, than any other produc- tion DeMille has ever created.
