Canada for War
W. A. Hood, of Canton, who went
to Toronto, Canada, six months ago
for an extended visit with relatives,
returned Tuesday morning to Alli
ance. Mr. Hood visited relatives in
Toronto and other parts of Canada
whom he had never seen before, and
some for forty-six years, when he
left that country.
Mr. Hood told of seeing 50,000
volunteers leave Canada for England
to join the forces at war. Because
of the fact that the army authorities
in Canada require the consent of
wives when their husbands join the
volunteers, most of the soldier boys
are unmarried.
Mr. Hood was glad to get back to
Box Butte county but stated that be
enjoyed his visit very much and that
Canada is flourishing.

. slin Implicating Partner
Arthur Davis of Crawford ami
Crawford Hutchinson, a trHnip, were
captured in Alliance Saturday morn
ing by Special Burlington Agent
Kiah. and Night Marshal Twilegar.
I The men were suspected of robbing
the general merchandise store of
Fred Wendt at Belmont Monday
night of last week.
Hutchinson was captured as he
was trying to dispose of part of the
loot to W. M. Wilson, who was sus
picious and telephoned the ofllcers,
who captured Hutchinson in the
store. They then compelled him to
tell where Davis could be found,
near the city pest house Just east of
Alliance
Sheriff Sherley came down i
Saturday night and returned with
the men, who will be tried in'Pawes
county.
Saturday afternoon Davis made a
signed confession in which he ac
cused Hutchinson of doing the work
while he acted as lookout.
The confession of Davis is as fol
lows: Statement of Arthur Davis
My name Is Arthur Davis. I live in
Crawford. On Monday the 19th of
October I met this fellow I don't
know what his name is in Craw
ford In front o fSherrels restaurant.
He asked me for a quarter to buy
something to eat. I told him that I
was pretty hard up myself, but I
told him I would give him a quarter
to buy something to eat, and I did.
He told ine if 1 was hard up that
there was a place up at Belmont he
wanted to rob and needed some help
and asked me to go with him. I told
him that I did not want to as I was
acquainted around there. He said I
would not need to worry about that.
He said that he would go inside and
do the work; all he wanted me to
do was to stay outside and watch. I
argued with him for some time, and
finally decided to go. We lert I raw
ford at 10:18 p. m. on passenger
train No. 42, and rode between the
tender and the first car. That was
on Monday, October 19th. We got
off at Belmont and went up and sized
up Fred Wendt's general merchan
dise store. He went over and tried
the back window of the store. Then
he went uown into the basement
through the outside cellar door and
came up throush the inBide of the
store. I stayed outside of the build
ing to give alarm, should anybody
show up. He was In there about 15
or 20 minutes, something like that.
When he came out he had one gun,
some pocket knives and one watch.
He came out of the store and we
then started down the track afoot,
walking towards the East. We
walked outside the city limits and di
vided the plunder. We walked from
Belmont to Alliance. We got Into
Alliance Friday noon, and slept Fri
day night In the light plant. This
morning he told me that he was go
ing to take this stuff up and Bell it
to the second-hand man. He took
part of the plunder and left part of
It with me and went up town. I met

; second hand store. He told me that
j he had taken t he plunder to the sec

man told him that be thought he
could give him about $15 for the
plunder, but hin partner was out and
he would have to wait until he re-
turned, and that for hitn to come
back later for the money. We went
front there to the livery barn one
block wpiit from main street. I left

around to pass the time away, and
thn wont back to the llvrry barn,
and he was Ftill there. He then told
me that he was going up to get his
money. The next time I saw him he
