Mitchell and under it Michaels
name and some data about Gus.

Sunday when Governor Phillips ar

And following his arrival he ate
dinner all alone at a local cafe.
That's no way to treat a governor.
Mrs. Charles L. Hardy didn't over
look anyone in selling tickets in the

Long before he and Uncle George left the
hospital Harry had read in the papers the
story Of the capture of the four bandits by
Government and county officers. They had
