NARCOTIC RING
LEADER TAKEN
BY FEDERAL men
Ben Oehler Arrested at st.
Cloud With $4,000
Worth of Drugs
HAS CRIMINAL RECORD
List of Customers i'm Three States
Is Basis far Official
Action

ST CLOUD, MINI, March IA
Narcotics valued at $20,500 were seiz-
ed and the alleged leader of dope
syndicate covering three states and
Canada, captured by Twin City fed
eral operatives last night.
The narcotic wholesaler gave his
name as Ben Oehler.
The seizure was made in St. Cloud
by narcotic wholesale agents operat-
ing under the direction of j. b.
Greerson, chief of the northwest di-
vision narcotic office. Agents from
St. Paul and Minneapolis made the
arrest.
Mr.. Greeson declared this morning
the arrest of OehIer, we'll known in
the Twin City underworld, reveals
one of the most widespread drug
peddling schemes in the northwest.
Get List Of Customers
Oehler, it is charged received mar
cotics from Canada and distributed
them throughout the small towns of
ia and western Wisconsin in a large
touring car, which was confiscated
last night.
When captured he had in his pos
session cocaine, heroin and morphine
worth more than $4,000, over $4,000
in cash, supposedly received from
purchasers, and a list Of customers
in three states.
Many of the customers will be in
vestigated on suspicion they are act
ing as retail agents.
Mr.. Greeson secured a warrant
charging Oehler with violation of
the federal narcotic law today from
United States Attorney Lafayette M.
French. He is held in the St. Cloud
Jail.
Federal agents charge that Oehler
also had connections with ring
smuggling drugs from Europe and
Canada to Chicago, with St. Paul and
Minneapolis as subdistributing
points.
Caught I'm Trap
Oehler, described as one of the
most elusive and expert narcotic
peddlers, was caught in a trap laid
by federal agents, who got in touch
with him through tip that he was
on his way from Sioux City, la. They
arranged to meet him in St. Cloud
and when he drove in, they met him
as customers, paying $1,000 marked
money. Agents seized him and found
narcotics, in glass vials in his car. A
companion, to whom he gave a lift
along the road, was arrested but lat
er released.
Mr.. Greeson, in St. Paul for the
warrant, said the arrest is one OF the
most important in many months as it
reveals the narcotic sales system ex-
tending from Minnesota and Iowa to
Canada and Atlantic coast ports.
The drugs found had foreign labels
indicating manufactured mostly in
Italy, France and Switzerland.
Narcotic agents said Oehler's case
confirmed their belief that Twin
Cities raids had forced peddlers' acti-
vities out into the country districts,
where Twin City addicts now go for
their supplies.
Not In Doctors Ring
Narcotic agents recently investi-
gated St. Cloud narcotic conditions,
but Mr.. Greeson said Oehler's arrest
had no connection with this. -Four
physicians were said to be involved
in the earlier Investigations but no
arrests have been made as result.
Agents after the earlier st. Cloud
narcotic investigation declared viola
tions there had been so fragrant that
a score of youths of school age were
threatened with life long addiction.

CHAPTER XIV
Dorothy Disturbed

To Dorothy We're left the hills and
the sky, the steep crags and the
alder thickets, many-colored by the
whims of the frost. That Astrange
mood Of utter loneliness that she re-
1membered from many a tragic dream
settled upon her. Weighing her down,
seemingly about to kill her with its
burden upon her heart, and with If
a sense of absolute futility and help
lessness. There was no special sense
of terror because the loneliness was
itself terror in its last degree, and
it pervaded all her being She was
all alone, lost as in a dream.
She stood a solitary figure in an
uninhabited waste; the empty bar
rens stretching down to the barren
sea; the hills, gray with dying herb
age, rolling on and losing themselves
at last behind the curtains of the
clouds; the gray, forbidding crags
piled up in endless grim heaps about
her. 1t was a lonely, utterly cheer
less vista of dead sky and dead
world, and the blast of the wind was
too unvarying and monotonous to
destroy the effect Of silence.
She was scarcely conscious of her
own life as she stared down at the
yawning hole in the snow crust
through which Pete had fallen. Her
thoughts were those of half -delirium
abstract terror, queer erratic fan
cies. that were darkened and sha-
