Bluffs Veteran
Again Saved From
Being Swindled
Man Accused of Selling News
stand Encumbered by Debt
to Legless War Hero
Agrees to Pay.
For the second time this year,
retributive justice has overtaken per
sons who have attempted to fleece
Terry Black, Council Bluffs disabled
war veteran and hero, who sacrificed
both limbs for his country while
fighting overseas as a member of
Company L, 16Sth Infantry, Rainbow
division.
Blackie returned to the Bluffs after
the war and began to plan a home far
a pretty English nurse, whom he had
met in a hospital. She arrived ami 1
they were married. Despite his
physical handicap, the war hero
worked as insurance salesman and
succeeded in putting aside a sum of
money to establish himself in busi
ness.
A year ago he borrowed additional
funds to augment his savings and
purchased the cigar, and news stand ;
in the lobby of the Grand hotel from I
Clarence W. Mack, son-in-law of the
hotel proprietor. A. l.ucy. The con
sideration was $500 in cash and the
business itself was represented as
free from encumbrance, Blackie
states.
Mack Arrested.
Within tw-o months, however, bills
and accounts totaling $200 were pre
sented to the new owner of the stand
and he was obliged to meet them to
protect his own interests. Mack had
left the community and demands for
a reimbursement were met, accord
ing to the legless hero, with evasive
teplies and no remittances.
During the year Blackie won the
friendship and esteem of the various
traveling men who stop regularly at
the hotel on their trips. Many of
them leurned the story of the alleged
fraud in connection with the sale of
the stand and were anxious to help
the victim locate the former owner,
who had disappeared after the first
correspondence in regard to the mat
ter. /
Last week one of the salesmen met
Mack at Indianola, la., and reported
the occurrence when he arrived at
the Bluffs hotel. Blackie signed an
information charging cheating by
false pretenses and Sheriff P. A.
Lalnson, former commander of the
company in which the hero served
during the war, wired Indianola for
his arrest as a fugitive from ustice.
Mack was lodged in the county jail
there on Sunday.
Settlement Made.
Negotiations were opened at once
for a settlement of the claim, and
the man under ,arrest agreed to for
ward cash to cover the amount al I
leged due to Blackie if criminal
charges against him would be dis- |
missed in return. His victim was sat
isfied with this proposition and the l
matter was adjusted on that basts.
On June 14, 1922. Mack became j
the center of public attention in the |
community as the result of his al
leged attack in the lobby of the Grand
hotel upon Lieut. Henry Hall of
Company L, Iowa national guard.
The officer had presided at a court
martial in which Quentin Lacy, son
of the hotel proprietor and brother
In law of Mack, had been sentenced
to Jatl for alleged insubordination.
As the result of this fracas, many
of tho civic organizations which :
lunched at the hotel every week, in
cluding the j'jons club of w hich Hall
was a member, withdrew their patron-,
age. Within a few weeks, A. Lacy (
sold out hi* interests in the hotel I
business and Mack disposed of the
cigar stand to Illaclcle.
In January of this year. Georgf j
Henderson was arraigned in district j
court on the charge of passing two
worthless cheeks upon the war vet- I
eran proprietor of the cigar -tand. He 1
still is serving a RO-day sentence in 1
the county Jail, although the had pa j
per was mads good by his father.

That doesn't mean money.
It means to foster and enhance the gifts Nature
gave to you.
You often see women of 30 who differ ten years
in their looks.
A little care—just knowing how—can multiply
your years of youthful bloom. Then you’ll live life
to the fulL
The supreme help
The great difference lies in soap. One woman
attacks the skin every time she washes. Another
woman benefits her skin.
Some people say, "Don’t use water on the face.”
That's because some soaps may ruin the com
plexion.
But Palmolive soap has done more for com
plexions than any other factor known. For millions
of women it has brought and kept a youthful bloom
and texture.
Clean skins first
Clean r-kins come first. A clogged skin cannot
long keep beauty.
So Palmolive Soap is made to penetrate — to
clSan the skin to its depths.
Then there arc fostering oils, which seem to be
skin affinities. They are palm and olive oils. The
ages have found nothing else which does what
they do for complexions.
Palmolive Soap combines these great essentials.
It is made by experts who have spent their lives in
the study of facial soap.
It gives to palm and olive oils an efficiency they
never had before. It has become, on that account,
the leading toilet soap of the world.
A woman who doesn't use it does her«e!f injus
tice.
