SHONTz PAL is
SENTENCED FOR
SAFE CRACKING
Frank Valandingham Indicted and
Pleads in Record Time; Inde-
terminate Sentence.

Monmouth, Ill, May 2S-With
tears in his eyes yesterday Frank
Valandingham, indicted for bur
glarizing the safe at the McCul-
Tough Lumber & Coal company Of
flee, entered a plea of guilty to
charges made in the Indictment re-
turned against him and was SEN
fenced to serve from one to twenty
years in the state penitentiary at
Joliet.
Valandingham, "a years old,
soldier of the World war with near
ly two years Of service to his credit,
stood before Judge Graham and
listened to some words Of advice
given by the court which should
help him in later years.
TT is with regret" Judge Graham
said, that / am compelled to SEN
tence you this morning under the
laws of the country you fought TO
preserve. l expected to see a hard
ened criminal brought before me,
but instead l find a young man,
good looking, who apparently is the
victim of bad associates.
The borders Of this country are
not far enough apart to shield a
criminal forever Sooner or later
they are detected and are brought
before a court to be punished for
their offense The advice of the
court is that you become a model
prisoner at the state prison and
that you lead a good life when you
are released"
The young man was moved to
tears when Judge Graham pro-
nounced the sentence He wiped
his eyes repeatedly and hung his
head when he was led. out of the
court room by the sheriff
Grand Jury Works Fast
The May grand jury, especially
recalled, went into session about 10
o'clock in the morning and return
ed an indictment 80 minutes later
Valandingham was brought into
court. He had told the officers that
he desired to plead guilty.
The officers obtained a complete
confession from the young man the
day after the robbery. He told OF
the plan and the manner in which
ne ana SnOnLz Durglar1Zed the TOUR
places in Monmouth. He said that
they had pulled eight robberies dur
ing the last few weeks and that the
total loot secured amounted to s35.
This was split between them. He
said he met Shontz in Rock Island
and that the latter told him how
easy it was to get by.
In talking to the young man
Judge Graham told him how
fortunate he was that the Of
Tense was not more serious. The
court called attention to the fact
that Valandingham would not be
facing a much more serious crime
if it had been the marshal at Keiths-
burg instead of Shontz who was
killed in the revolver battle.

A HERO WANTED

THE following from the Chiffon
County (Ala.) News on editorial
life is a blue picture:
"When the bottom of the flour
barrel stares you ~impudently in the
face and the meal tub look like it had
been swept and vanished; when the
last grain of coffee has been ground
and it's succulent nectar been distilled
and drunk; when the sugar sack has
collapsed upon itself, and the place
that knew its contents is vacant;
when the lard bucket gives forth the
empty sound of a forsaken tin can;
when the frosts of winter begin to kiss
the flowers to sleep and the wood
pile looks like a deserted graveyard;
when the little bare toes begin to
peep out from among the wreckage
of what once was a pair of shoes and
the landlord begins to glover at you
with a stony glare and your pockets
are as empty as a last years bird
nest; then it is that it takes a person
cast in a hero's mold to sit down on
a nail keg at the battered old editor
ial table and write optimistic stories,
live editorial and amusing anecdotes
for his readers. Ask the average CO.
unity editor if this is not So"

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.--Young

and Mrs. Saranak Matasian, are in
the city Jail pending an Investigation

A sweeping federal and police in

SCHOOL ELECTION
now BELIEVED TO
Be ILLEGAL

Apparently the bonds recently at
the special school election at Vandalia
November IA are illegal, which will
necessitate another election.
The law provides that bonds may
be voted for not more than five per
CEN of the valuation determined by
the assessment preceding the last
completed election. The 1871 as
sessment was equalized and certified
by the County Court to the County
Collector August LIST and the taxes
for 1921 were in the course of collect
ion at the time of the election. How
ever 1t was afterward learned that
the State Board of Euali2ation did
not formally adjourn until November
23d so the bonding attorneys hold
that the 1921 assessments was incom-
plete until after the final adjourn
ment of the State Board of Equaliz-
alton. The 1919 assessment lacks
near seventy thousand dollars of
being adequate to base a seventy
thousand bond issue upon and as this
was the amount voted in the school
election for the building of a high
school it will be necessary to hold
another election.
