the escape. t. McLaughlin and Lem
on, S. d. They hung around there a
few days and then commenced work
again. Their first job was their
downfall.
May Plead Guilty
Mr.. Gordon has intimated that he
believes the yeggs will plead guilty
and take chances rather than fight
the strong evidence against them in
the Morristown robbery. They realize
that if they fight they will probably
get the limit-3O years--and are
trusting to luck that something may
happen before court opens in Corson
county which will enable them to get
their freedom.
The original gang consisted of
cight-Cline, Linden, Berg, Ryan,
Mahowicz, Sharkey, Richman and
Norris. They had their rendezvous
in an out Of the way retreat on the
banks of the Missouri river near
Mobridge, S. D. There they passed
their time, drinking, card playing and
planning robberics. Several banks
were robbed but their luck was so
poor that the band became quarrel
some and mutually accusing. One
day while drunk, free-for-all took
place and the gang broke into two
sections. Ryan, Berg and Mahowicz
went one way and the remaining five
the other.
HOmebrcw Nitro
The three went to North Dakota
and boiled some nitroglycerinc out Of
dynamite and then came back to
South Dakota to rob the bank Of
Greenway, S. D. This bank had been
discussed in the little shack on the
Missouri and it was termed "easy
picking" by Cline.
Little loot was obtained at Green

encountered their former five pals

had been stolen from George Slater

robbery and the car was full Of stolen
goods. Both cars stopped and the
eight men started to talk things over.
When Cline learned that Ryan, Berg
and Mahowick had robbed the Green
way bank, he was furious and an
other free-for-all took place on the
road. Cline said he had discovered
the Greenway bank and that it was
"his."
After the fight the two cars left
in opposite directions. The gang of
three went into Selby and was ar
rested there while attempting to OK
change earth stained currency at
bank. This money had been taken in
a previous bank robbery and had
been buried. The men were brought
to Aberdeen for safe keeping and
later pleaded guilty to the Greenway
robbery charge and were sentenced
to serve seven years each in the state
penitentiary at Sioux Falls. These
men are now serving time.
Tcmvik Job Luckiest
Cline and Red admit that the
luckiest job they ever pulled was at
Temvik, N. ID. They had "sized up"
the Templeton State bank there
some time before they went to rob it.
When they went to pull the Job"
they found new screw door safe in
place of the square door vault which
was there when they looked the place
over. AS they had no torch with
them. it was impossible to get into
the safe, so they rifled the safety
deposit boxes, getting but Il few dol
lars. But while preparing to leave.
Red in spirit of disgust tugged
at the door of the safe and it open
ed easily, netting them $1,000 in
cash. The bankers had forgotten to
lock their banditproof safe and
neglect to do so cost them. heavily.

YEGGS FIGHT

Honor Among Thieves" Fails
in Dakota Bank RObbing
Gang Now Captured

Fargo, n. d., Nov. ia story of
robberies and jailbreaks, arrests and
adventures on the road, brawls and
disagreements in lonely robbers
hangouts is told in the Aberdeen, S.
D., confessions of Fred Whitley
Cline and John Linden, alias Devils
Lake Red as made public by w. S.
Gordon. The arrest of these men
near MoTristown, S. D., recently was
the last act in the drama.
Gordon is special agent for the
American Bankers association who
has trailed these men and their
gangs as they ranged over North
and South Dakota and Montana. rob-
bling banks, stealing cars, breaking
into stores as the spirit moved, ac-
cording to the alleged confession.
Gordon is also special agent for the
North and South Dakota Bankers as
ISOLATION.
1t was Whitley Cline who helped
"Dcvils Lake Red" escape from the
Mercer county Jail u few weeks ago,
the confessions show.
Thereby he evened score with
"Rcd" who had aided him and two
others to liberty at Rugby, N. d., last
spring while the trio was awaiting
transportation to Bismarck.
Cline and Linden are bound over
to district court in Aberdeen for
robbing the Morristown, S. D., bank
Nov. &.
These last confessions are said to
reveal most of the missing links in
the stories of how banks and stores
in certain section of the northwest
have been robbed in the last year.
The rest of the information was OBJ
tanned by Gordon from Berg, Ryan
and Mahowicz now serving seven
years in the South Dakota penitenti-
airy. The latter three often plotted
with Cline and Linden, but they sell
dom worked together tremendously.
Linden accused them Of double cross
ing him.
The confessions cover long years
Of crime, in recent years pcrpetrated
in Montana. North and South Dakota
and British Columbia. They date
back to the boyhood Of Cline whose

and Irrigation Company of Mercedes.
tried at Edinburg last week. wherein
the plaintiff sought TO secure dam
ages in the amount of $4,000. The
verdict is considered one of the ut
most importance. the amount of dam
ages being of secondary Importance to
the issues involved.
The plaintiff maintained that his
land located near Wcslaco had been
permanently impaired by the seepage
and overflow from the irrigation COM
pany's canal. He sued for damage to
his crops in 1921 and 1922, and dam
age to his four-acre citrus grove. In
the course of the trial several i'm
portant phases were brought out. The
testimony developed that the 1921
crop had been injured by the hard
est rainfall on record. and the 1929
crop also suffered severely as a re-
suit OF unfay0rable weather cOndi-
tons. An average crop was made
on the land in 1923. A large number
of witnesses testified that the land
is now planted to cotton. except a
small portion in pasture. and that the
crop is equal TO that of any other land
in the immediate vicinity.
Eight days were devoted to the trial
and a mass of testimony was received.
Much interest was taken in the case
by land owners in all parts of the
Valley. The verdict, which is to the
effect that all land owners must pro-
vide means for the drainage of all
waters which may get onto their
lands. is expected to result in a gem
eral movement throughout the Valley
TO secure more adequate drainage in
those sections where there is danger
Of deterioration through seepage or

New York, April 23.-London's first

tremendous disappointment to hct
American cousins of the "finest."
Probably the shock of the first contact

Commandant Mary S. Allen. head of
the women's auxiliary service of the
London metropolitan police, considers
herself an officer of the force and
CARDS herself accordingly.
Commandant Allen is ''bobby" and
is proud of it. She dresses like a
bobby" with variations of detail in
the uniform of her own designing. She
doesn't wear bobbcd hair. She goes
further than that. She wears it short
cropped like a man with sort of
Teutonic pompadour. Commandant
Allen was met at the dock by Mrs.
Mary Hamilton. head of the New York
rohcewomen. The contrast was strik-
ing. Mrs. Hamilton was handsomely at
ti'td in the latest spring fashion. fur

Seattle, April 23.-Curtailment Of
both passenger travel and freight
shipments between California and the
North Pacific coast cities is in inn

pany has reduced sailings and pas
senger lists now are. remarkably
small.
1t is predicted thorough re-arrange-
ment of travel routes for passengers
and freight will have to be under
taken. especially on shipments of
early vegetables and small fruits. The
