legal work for Levy, in connection
with the legacy, to the amount OF
ten per cent of the $25, 900. He has
placed lien on the bequest to in
sure his being paid.

offices in several large cities of the
world and who has filed with the
court a power of attorney, signed
by Hirsh Herman Levy empowering
him to collect the. $4,000 and pay it
over to him. Helm said that Huber:
ich's power of attorney is null and
void for several reasons.

Nations Eyes Are Watching Con-
sressional Contest In Seventh
Minnesota District
IAssociated Press pispatch1

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
St Paul, September 1S.-Con-
gresham Andrew ]. Volstead,
father of the prohibition enforce
ment act will be opposed for reelec-
ton in the November election by
the man who defeated him in the
primary two years ago.
This contest in the Seventh
Minnesota congressional district
rivals in interest the three cornered
fight for the United States senator
ship, in which a woman-Mrs. Anna
Dicke Olesen-has been setting
the campaign pace for her two male
opponents.
Prohibition is not issue in the
contest involving Volstead, for he
will be opposed by the Rev. o. J..
Kvale Of Benson, who declares him
self las dry as Volstead with little
to spare" Mr.. VolStead has the en-
doTsement of the republican district
cratic and the farmer labor conVen-
tons endorsed the candidacy of
Rev. Kvale. In 1920, as the candi-
date of the Nonpartisan League
seeking the republican nominations,
Rev. Kvale nosed out Mr.. VolStead
in the June primary by 1859 votes
to 1903. Then charges Of violation
Of the state corrupt practices act
against Rev. Kvale were sustained,
the nomination was declared vacant,
and the republican district COM
mittee selected Mr.. Volstead as the
republican. candidate.
Kvale Faction Working
With the approach of the fall
election that year, the Kyale faction
circulated petitions that enabled
him to file as an Independent, and
in a three cornered race-a demo
cratic candidate having entered
Volstead polled 1892 votes; Kvale
$3.50, and the Democratic candi-
date, 1888.
This year. with Kvale bearing the
democratic endorsement, it will be
finish fight between Kvale and
Volstead and the question lies in
what strength the old Nonpartisan-
now farmer labor-organlZation has
been able to retain.
Two years ago, women were eX
ceptionally active in the interests of
Mr.. Volstead, and it was admitted
that their vote figured In determin-
ing his success. If the Kyale forces
have been able to hold their
strength the issue probably will rest
with those voters who cast a demo
cratic ballot two years ago. With
the democratic convention endorse
ment, Kvale forces expect to corral
the greater part of this democratic
vote.

Hand Of Law Reached Out and Took
Them In at SIayton

Slayton, September 9.-The hand
OF the law moves quickly and with
precision. This was demonstrated
last Sunday when but few hours
after Sheriff Lowe had received a
telegram from Boise, Idaho, saying
that two young men had stolen
Buick car and were believed to be
headed for S1ayton, he arrested the
two young men and took possession
of the car which the were driving.
The car. bearing the Idaho tag,
and bedecked with banners of vari-
Gus states and parks drove into
town here Sunday afternoon. Young
Whitson at once looked up his ia
Their. The meeting was indeed pleas
ant for the father, as he had not
seen the boy for four years, and he
had counted the days when his boy
would come to visit him. The boys
came direct to Slayton and from
there went to Lake Wilson where
Leslie's father was witnessing ball
game. After the game they returned
to Slayton. It was while the car was
at Lake Wilson that the Sheriff no.
ticed it. Knowing that the boys
would return to SlAyton he awaited
them and when they arrived he vt
once placed them under arrest.
Mr.. Whitson, the father Of one of
the boys was soched when he heard
the news. He has no suspicion of
any such crume being committed by
his boy and was of the opinion that
the, car that his boy was driving was
the car owned by the family which
is identical with it. However, when
he learned of the message he asked
his boy if he had stolen the car and
received the affirmative answer.
The two boys were placed in the
village jail and message stating
their capture at once sent to Idaho.
On Tuesday an answer was received
stating that the Sheriff of the coun-
ty in which Boise Is located, was on
his way and is expected today.
