JOHN ANDERSON ON THE JOB

That Sheriff Anderson is wide
awake and ever on the lookout for
opportunities to reduce the expense
of his officers to the taxpayers of
the county was again evidenced
when George Wallet was brought
into court in Poplar and fined by
Justice Hanson.
Wallet was the first person to be
arrested in Roosevelt county for the
violation of chapter rs of the ses-
sion laws of 1923, which makes the
slaughtering, selling or distributing
of dressed bovine meat without first
securing a license from the county
a misdemeanor, and fixes
a punishment of not less than $50
nor more than $500, 0 less than
80 days nor more than six months
in the county Jail, or both.
1t should be stated, however, in
connection with this, that the pro-
visions of this law do not apply to
persons who kill beef or veal in good
faith for home use.

LICENSES

Secretary of State Stewart has

In order to facilitate the prompt

preciate your assistance in having
all owners of cars now in operation
in the cities and towns send in their
1924 applications Immediately.
All dealers in automobiles and
automobile accessories should be
urged to make immediate application
for licenses.

HOW 20. K" CAME INTO USE
One Explanation Is That Gen. Andrew
jackson Borrowed Abbreviation
From Choctaw Indians.

Tne expression 80. K" is a colo
quialism. There are many explana-
tions for it's origin, but most of them
center around Andrew Jackson. One
explanation is that General Jackson
borrowed the abbreviation from the
Choctaw Indians, with which tribe
he was well acquainted. That tribe
and the Chickasaws had no verb cor
responding to "be." Instead an en-
phatic word, 'okeh," closed positive
statements in those languages. "Okeh"
meant sit is So" or sit is right"
Another explanation was offered in
1909 at the time of the death of Cor
nelius Kendall of Chicago. Mr.. Ken
dali vas the youngest son of Orrin
Kendall, from whose initials the use
Of 80. K" is said to have sprung. Or
rim Kendall, as the story goes, was a
member of the Chicago board Of trade
battery in the Civil war. He also was
a member of the firm Of o. Kendall &
Sons, whose bakery was in Chicago.
The firm furnished bread and crackers
for the army and on the crackers were
the initials 80. K" The crackers are
said to have been the only mes the
soldiers relished, and their expression,
''These are all right" later developed
into 'These are o. K"
What Started 1t.

IN BIC Theft
New York Police After Man
Who Fled When One
Man Was Caught

Detectives of Brooklyn and New
York are working in an effort to
apprehend the two men who made
getaway in an automobile alleged to
be loaded with clothing, when Mari
man Palanvot, Chilean, twenty
four years old, was arrested by d
mounted officer of the 91st precinct,
Brooklyn, on Wednesday night. He
was found to have ten suits of
clothes bearing the laDel OF Cannon
& Sheehy, of this city, In his pos
session, The local merchants were
robbed over a week ago, in the
neighborhood of 200 suits having
been stolen.
Officers of the 91st precinct had
received a tip that 800 suits We're
to be taken to a store in the precinct,
and from information obtained here,
II would seem that Palanvot was
nabbed as he prepared to enter
store with the ten suits in his pos
session. The quick move against
the Chilean resulted in two other
men in the car fleeing from the scene
with the assistance of the automo-
bile. The precinct detectives are
confident that they will get the other
two men and the balance OF the
goods.
Detectives Gutowski and Murray
were detailed by Captain OF Detec-
tiyes Lawrence A. Long to Brooklyn,
and they learned that the man Is
being held on short affidavit for
having the goods of Cannon & Snee-
by in his possession.
A warrant was issued by Recorder
Pickersgill for the detectives to ME
against the man in connection with
the local robbery. The local detec-
tives will keep in touch with the
case and when the time Is ripe, will
strike to have the Chilean taken
hack here. Detective Murray is OF
the opinion that he saw Palanvot In
this city.
Seven men are being held In the
county Jail in connection with the
I. Stern clothing store robbery, on
Fayette street, which occurred
about a month ago and was cleared
up In about twenty-four hours.
Newark Attempt
The local detectives are expected
70 visit Newark to look over three
men, believed to be Chileans, who
were nabbed as they attempted to
break into a mems furnishing store
in the first precinct on wednesday
night.
1t is the belief qf the local au-
thorities that a band OF Cnileans Is
working throughout the leading
cities of the East, and when THIS
class is rounded up. there Will be
little to fear for another while.
