SUITCASE HOLDS
CLEW IN CATTLE
THEFT BELIEF
Sheriff Holds Luggage Stolen

Name.

Another clew in the untanEifnE Of
the mystery surrounding the disap-
pearznce Of &c head of cattle from the
Harry TIA ranch. last week, Is be
iieved to have been found through a
telegram received wednesday by the
Americail Express company. The NEE
sage stated that the rightful owner
OF a certain suitcase. held in Casper
o the past week. is awaiting its re-
turn at Chadron. Neb-. where the al
tie are said to have been shipped.
The many angles which present
themselves TO tho forces OF the law
MAKE the case an extremely difficult
one to deal with An unknown rust

roads near Chadron. a hairs breadth

search for days by the sheriff and dep
uues. add their bit to tho chain of

open two paths of deduction. Thee
rustler may have taken the suitcase

he may be using the telegram as a

cipal host to the convention will, OF
course. make the utmost contribution
to the occasion. The fine hospitality
that has made New Orleans and Lou
isiana famous will impress upon their
guests from other sections a realiza-
tion of the greatness and variety Of
our country, its economic unity, and
its singleness of purpose in behalf of
the national aspirations. 1t is most
desirable that the men of the legion,
who have served so nobly to estsb-
lish our country's place inthe world,
shall embrace every opportunity TO
expand their knowledge of their ma
tive land. The nation as a result of
the wars upheaval, confronts trying
times and difficult problems, to
whose settlement we must demand
all that singleness of effort and will
ingness of sacrifice that marked the
common effort in the war. No class
of our citizens knows so well as these
men of the American Legion what
such an effort and such sacrifice
mean; none has proved so splendidly
its readiness to respond as the first
call Therefore, in dealing with the
problems of today and the possible
crises of the future, none will be
summoned with more confidence to
help sustain the authority ofthe gov
ernment 1t is satisfaction to know

Give me a man whose heart
Is filed with life's FIRE;
Who sets his mark in the start,
And keeps moving It higher and
higher.
Better to die In The strife,
The hands with labor rife.
Than to glide with the stream In an
idle dream,
And lead purposeless life.
Better to strive and climb
And never reach the goal
Than to drift along with time,
An aimless, worthless soul.
Ay, better to climb and fall,
Or SOW, though the yield be small,
Than to throw away day after day,
And never to strive at all.

AS a "counterblast'' to the femin-
inc beauty contests which have swept
across France this summer, the Paris
post of the American Legion now an
nounces a\"beauty contest" of its
own. Instead of a competition to as
certain the most beautiful woman in
the American colony there the ex-
doughboys have started a search for
the most handsome American man
in Paris. The Paris legion post has
a membership of more than 1000. AS
fully as many more Americans are
now located in the French capital the
contest promises to be one of the
most interesting of the many activi-
ties the Americans have engaged in
this season. The usual photographs
of entrants will be displayed and
votes by men and women members
of the colony will be received and
tabulated by a board the members
of which are barred from comparing.
So many stranded ex-service men
have applied for help at the legion
headquarters in Paris that the post
has been forced out of it's quarters
at 10 Rue de rEllysee by lack of
funds. Instead of several rooms the |
post had it is now housed in single |

J. H. RATLIFF
IS ARRESTED IN
STEPHENS CASE
Sheriff Makes Second Arrest
Spence Declares Innocence
Gives $4,000 Bond

j. II. Ratliff. of the Atlantic Coast
Line shops, was arrested late Thurs
day afternoon, in connection with the
Stephens 'white-capping' case, fol
lowing the arrest of J. r. Spence in
the same case. Mr. Ratliff has been
taken to Barlow He is a brother-in
law of Mrs. Stephens, wife of the vic
tim of the assault and has been sus-
pected from the first of being the in
stigator of the plot.
J. r. Spence, who was kept at the
city Jail. was endeavoring to arrange
bond this afternoon in the sum Of
$4,000. The charge against him is
Kidnapping and aggravated assault
w. S. Stephens, the victim, is said to
have identified Spence as one of his
assailants by his voice and general
build Mr.. Spence states that he was
at home Saturday evening. and did not
even know that the attack was going
on. He admits that he has never felt
friendly toward Stephens, but says
that when put on committee of rail
road men some time ago to investigate
charges that stephens was not sup
porting his family, he returned a re-
port favorable to Stephens.
From the beginning, the affair has
been generally believed to be an out
growth of difficulties in the Stephens
home, as divorce proceedings are
pending in the family, and consider
able bitterness appears to have been
created. The investigation into Mr.
stephens support of his family is said
to have been started by Mr.. Ratliff,
whose wife is Mrs. Stephens sister.
Mr.. Spence has retained Edwin
Spencer, Jr, as his attorney and Mr.
Spencer states that before taking the
case, he made an investigation that
convinced him that Mr.. Spence is not
guilty, and that several witnesses will
establish an alibi for the accused man.
He believes that. in establishing the
innonence of his client, he can assist
in securing evidence against men who
are guilty.
A preliminary hearing will be held
before Judge Holland at Barlow at ten
o'clock Tuesday morning.
Sheriff Logan, accompanied by Dep
uty Williams, is in the city today and
the investigation is still being pur-
sued.
Mr.. Stephens. who is at Morrell Me-
mortal Hospital, is reported 20 be max
ing a gradual improvement.

AFTER 46 YEARS FARMERS
BEARD MEASURES 16 FEET

Wahpeton n. D., May 26.-Though
civic pride has prompted the male
population of Sacramento Cal, to go
unshaven in preparation for the
Days of 49, celebration. a goodly
share of the local color" promises
to be provided by a retired farmer
of North Dakota.
For Hans n. Lankseth, rs year old
resident of this county, is going out
California way to show the "boys" a
beard that is n beard. as he puts il.
BY actual measurement. his is sever
al inches more than sixteen feet.
A score of years ago, Langseth was
travelling with a side show. But
the public refused to believe his
beard was real. "The same old bunk"
they said and passed up his tent. So
he went back to farming.
Not since he was 30 years old has
Langseth shaved. Then he noticed
his beard grew remarkably fast and
he decided I'd see what length it
would obtain. It is too long now for
convenience but he carries it tuck
ed away in a sack attached to the
inside of his waistcoat
