Brick for the building probably
cost five or six dollars a thousand.

The building recently vacated by
Sherm Luce at 610-612 Oak street,
to be occupied by the Gem City
dairy, was erected by Samuel
Crouch late in the fifties or early
in the sixties. When George VI.

SEES HALT IN
STATECRlME
Veteran Detective States
Post Harvest Danger
Is Reduced

Coo~or?t' on between local authori-
ties aid puvate police agencies has
definitely eliminated the |. w. w.
menace in North Dakota and has
greatly reduced the annual post
harvest crime wave chronic in this
state, L. c. Glarum, official in the
Northern National Detective Bureau,
stated here.
The Northern National Detective
Bureau is newly formed Bismarck
corporation organization of which
was promoted by Glarum and Larry
Byrne, former chief Of police of
Minot.
Sees Crime Halt
Small communities in other years
have been prey to nomad bands OF
harvest field workers, a large pro-
portion of whom are criminals with
police records, Glarum pointed ont.
Local police protection has been in
effective in coping with organized
bandit raids due to lack Of organi-
Zation, he said.
'ln addition to supporting organ
ization of voluntary vigilance COM
panies under the direction Of Ad-
jutant General Fraser, merchants
and banks in small communities have
in some cases imported private
guards as prccautiOn against de-
predationss Of transient criminals,
Glarum declared.
Glarum, pri or to joining the Bis
:Marck detective agency, was Ber
tillon Identification expert at the
state penitentiary. He served lt
years on the Minneapolis detective
force.
Both Glarum and Byrne have como
in contact with many of the mos
dangerous outlaws in the northwest
Glarum's biggest catch occurred il
October, 1929, when Jack Carroll an,
Ray Mcconnell, bank robbers, were
captured at Grand Forks through ;
telegram intercepted at Minneapolis
, The two cracksmen, wanted ut the
time for rObbing a Minnesota bank
later were convicted Of breaking in
to five banks in the northwest.
Served in France
Byrnc, during his tenure of office a:
chief of police of Minot, recovered
/ IS stolen automobiles, several thou
sand dollars in stolen merchandise
and engaged in one notorious gul
battle near Minot which ended in th'
capture Of two harvest thugs, ,ac
cording to his claim.
Byrne held rank Of captain in thu
A. F.. f. during the world war. Iii!
company served with the u. S. Mar
! ines at the time of the German ad
vance which ended in the battle o
the Marne in 1918.
