FOUR ARRESTED
in MAIL HOLDUP
Federal Authorities Repori
$50, 900 Found on Fourth
Suspect Arrested.

Chicago-An alleged confession o.
a suspect, identification of others, and
information found in letters taken
from them, guided city, state and fed
eral authorities in their investigation
on Sunday of the $l,00O,0OO registered
mail robbery Thursday night, when
four auto loads of bandits held up
Milwaukee road mail train few miles
from here.
Twenty $1,000 bills, some of which.
according to federal officials, were
identified as coming from the regis
tered pouches, were found in posses
sion Of James Watson, arrested late
Saturday night when he came to the
fiat where previously detectives had
taken ]. H. Wayne, identified as
bandit shot during the robbery; Paul
Wade, Tulsa, Okla, aviator; Walter
McComb and James Mahoney. Fed
eral warrants, charging robbery of the
mails, have been issued for the last
four.
Acting on information obtained from
Wayne, wounded five times and near
death, detective squads were dispatch
ed on Sunday to definite localities t(
search for the loot, which they hoped
to recover nearly intact. Confidence
that they were following the right
leads and would "clear up the affair
in short order" was expressed by Nor
gan Collins, police chief, and Martin
Hughes, chief of detectives.
1--WE have four Of the bandits under
arrest" Chief Hughes said after the
federal warrants were issued to fore
stall habeas corpus proceedings in the
state courts for the suspects release.
Wayne, who was identified by one
of the mail clerks aboard the looted
train, was reported as saying that he
was shot by the bandit leader for dis
obeying orders. His injuries made talk
impossible, but he communicated an.
swers by slight movements of his eyes
and head to questions written and
held before his eyes.

Dinsdale murmured.
Webb's drunken malevolence slowly
died out and he stared thoughtfully at

he mumbled.
After boiling his drink Webb slyly
remarked:
"You tote likely lot of paper

furtively studied Dinsdale's profile.
"Have another" he grunted.
Thanks. But not tonight. Well

AS he strobe to the exit he could
feel Webb's gaze boring into his back.
AS he stepped into the darkness of the
street hand touched his arm and
caused his own hand to close on a
gun. Two round yellow eyes were
blazing at him. The voice of Scissors
addressed him, and he knew the eyes
belonged to the big owl.
"Got my two ounces" exultingly
whispered Scissors. "That satisfies me
some of the Ogalala gang is in the
tent tonight"
"You'd better keep that talk to your
SELF" shortly warned Dinsdale. "And
keep away from that man Webb. He's
feeling ugly"
"Oh, / know when to catch him.
Scissors knows when to get them. He's
wakan witshasha. Old Sitting Bull
here knows more'n most humans. I
can tell by his eyes whether to go
ahead or draw back"
Hes telling you now to shut off
that talk about train robbers being in
town." Dinsdale sternly warned him.
''That talk is poor medicine"
AS he walked away he could hear
Scissors chuckling and mumbling.

Cells Visited Iceland
Years Before Norsemen

So far as known, when the North
men visited Iceland In the Ninth CEN
fury, they found no trace OF an aEorig-
inal race. However, the island had
been previously inhabited by Celts
who settled there before 900 a. D..
Some Icelandic historians claim that
the Celtic colonists were still living on
the island when the Scandinavians
arrived But the question is disputed
and the general belief is that these
Celtic settlers had disappeared pc
fore Iceland was discovered by the
Norsemen in $50 In any event, books,
croziers and ether articles found by
the early ScandiEavians prove that
Irish monks had made an attempt TO
colonize the island.
The real history Of Iceland dates
from about $40, when large numbers
of Norsemen began to settle there
owing to political disturbances IN
Scandinavia. Only about one-fourtn
of Iceland is inhabitable and the en-
tire population is only about 8o,OOO.-

suggestions or questions|
1.-THE only drawback is that Three
and Four will be marked men," spoke
up Number Two.
"Bad for us on the inside less we
settle the hash of the ten," grumbled
Number Three.
"That would be going it too strong"
protested Number Four, with SILVER
in his voice.
Number One sharply said:
"Both Three and Four are already
wanted for murder. One in Idaho; the
other in Nevada. Yet they live here
in Deadwood City and move about
openly. Once we get the treasure we
will scatter. The. hills game is nearly
played out. Let others stay and pick
up the crumbs and rope"
"Seems as if I was getting the hot
end of the poker" growled Number
Three.
"Might as we'll sentence me to death
and be done with it." bitterly COM
planned Number -Four.
Rewards are offered for both of
you and you haven't done scaffold-

"A swift horse, change of stamping
grounds, new name, and with forty
or fifty thousand dollars to blow you'd
be fools to be caught. But if either of
you refuse to play the part | pick for
you, say so now"
There was an uneasy shutting of
feet, but the threat concealed but poor

derstood.
''I'm game" muttered Number Four.

Number Three.

Both Three and Four were eager to
accept any scheme which would give
one Of them a chance to dodge the
dangerous position of coach guard.
Both proclaimed their satisfaction and
wished the lot-drawing to be conduct
ed on the spot.
Number One said:

More Exercise Needed by Boys Living on Farms

Let the farm child play! Plenty of
exercise in the open air should pro-
duce good health. But, unfortunately,
the exercise the farm child gets is
often one-sided. His major muscles
get too much use, the auxiliary ones
too little His body does not develop
symmetrically.
Observations made during the World
war proved that the farm-reared
young man reached the stage OF
fatigue sooner than his city-reared
comrade. The farm boy was outdis-
tanced in games calling for mental
alertness by the city man. A slow
mind had resulted from his being
cheated Of play.
Pulling weeds and hoeing, driving
team hitched to wagon or cultivator
may not be Injurious If supplemented
by other vigorous exercise, but such
work without corrective activities
tends to make the country boy round
shouldered and fiat chested. He IS apt
to have demonstrating head.
Lungs and heart and digestion do
not get a fair chance. Health exam
nations of more than million school
children in New York state show that
while 72 per cent of the pupils in the
city schools have physical defects, the
number in the rural schools is 81 per
cent.
AS farms grow farther apart and the
numbers Of children in families de
crease, school becomes the only place
where the child can play. So to cheat
the child of his school time becomes
a crime against his body as well as
his mind
The boy who plays bali hard at
school learns the meaning of enthus-
