Dear Folks:
We got in over a week out here
now and I guess we will be going
back this weekend. It has been
awful hot but a person gets used
to it. Anything under a hundred
and ten is pretty comfortable. They
give us salt tablets to eat. I don't
know just what they do, but you
are supposed to stand the heat
better.
They have done quite a bit of
firing out here, both big guns and
rifles. I haven't fired my rifle
yet.
Last Sunday I sure had an ex-
perience. Ed Micklus, from Mel

Former Padua Lad Discov-
cred Escaped Convict
Florian Spaeth Recog-
nized Man From
Police Circular
INFORMED TOWNSMEN
Escaped From st.
Cloud Reformatory
Nav LIST, This Year

F1orian Spaeth, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Spaeth, formerly resid-
ents of Padua, was instrumental
in the capture of an escaped con-
vict at Burtrum Saturday.
Recognizing Joseph T. loren,
who escaped from the st. Cloud re-
reformatory on May 31st, from a
police circular, he Immediately
notified citizens of Burtrum. He
kept tthe convict engaged in con-
versation in his fathers tavern,
while others notified the sheriff's
office in Long Prairie.
Zoran had stopped at a garage in
Burtrum to have a flat tire fixed
and stepped into the tavern, where
he was recognized. Returning to
the garage he was confronted by
the police of Burtrum and was
accused of being an escaped con-
vict, he denied the charge but made
no attempt to leave. After he was
placed in the car he made a break
for liberty. A barrage Of gun fire
failed to stop him and he was
caught later in a corn field a mile
from town. He was unarmed.
Zoran was then taken to Long
Prairie by Burtrum police officials.
Zoran was a trusty at the re-
formatory, committed in Decemberi
1910, to serve seven years for in
decent assault. His home is at
Flensburg, and he had been several
times in that community since his
escape, the last time in June, when
he escaped in a running gun battle.
Zoran was taken to Long Prairie
and lodged in Jail and then return
ed to the reformatory. Three
charges can be placed against him,
it was said. One will be placed
against him as matter of form,
that of escape, which is a felony
and carries a penalty of seven
years. Charges of car thefts at
Morris and Crookston are also to
be brought against him. .........-

Local Boys Visited Death

fore we got down to the bottom,
and was it ever hot. When we
were there they decided to go to
Death Valley Scotty's which was a
hundred and thirty miles up the
valley north from where we were.
They valley is pretty flat, mostly
salt and borax beds. On the way
over we hit the lowest place in
the U. s., 276 feet below sea level.
There was a little water there but
1t sure did smell. We kept on
driving and finally came to Scot
TVS castle. He has the only run
ming water around there for miles
so that's what makes his place so
nice. He lives three miles up
from the floor Of the valley. When
we drove in he was sitting in front
of his place smoking. He was
glad to see us and he was pretty
interested in the army cars we
had. You should have heard some
Of his stories he told us. He told
us about the time he hired train
from Los Angeles to Chicago on
a bet and lost six hundred dollars
on the deal. Before they showed
us through the place we had to
put moccasins over our shoes. The
only thing in the whole castle that
you can buy in store are the wat
er glasses. All the other things
are mostly antiques. He has two
water fountains right inside. You

That evening her daughters, Mrs

"It was on a hot day Just like
this and the butter was soft" she
recalled. So she put 1t in the pan.
