LARSON SAYS HE
OWNEDTHE BOOZE
Fourteen Truckloads Seized
by Sheriff Clark Now
Stored in the County
Court House.
Fourteen big motor trucks of con
traband booze, or three freight car
loads of beer and a half carload of
whisky, gia and wines, was the total
anount seized by Sheriff Clark in the
wholesale confiscation of liquor at the
Anton Larson dairy farm, Sixtieth and
Center streets.
The sheriff and his deputies seized
the hidden stores of booze at 11
o'clock Wednesday morning, but it
took until 12 o'clock at night to haul
all the contraband from the dairy
farm to the court house, where it
was stored in the jay and in store
rooms.
Besides being the first big seizure
under the new prohibition law, it was
one of the largest confiscations of
contraband booze ever made in this
part of the country. The value of the
liquor was estimated at $5,000. There
were more than 1,200 cases of beer
and approximately 500 gallons of
high-priced whiskies ana wines.
To Sprinkle Streets.
Sheriff Clark said that he would
carry out his promise to dump the
booze into sprinkler wagons and
water the streets with it as soon as
the court orders it destroyed.
Larson, proprietor of the dairy
farm, was arrested late Wednesday
night. He obtained his release on
?1,UUU Dond.
H naid that he would "stand oaf
on his statement that he owned all of
the booze.
County officers, however, say that
they take more stock in the statement
of Mrs. Larson to a deputy Wednes
day thaf her husband owned only
twelve cases of beer; the rest was
being stored for down-town business
men."
"It looks like Larson is the goat,"
said the sheriff. "He was probably
hiding the booze for others."
The case is set for hearing May 18
in county court.
The proposed "sprinkler party" will
be held immediately after that time
if the court orders the booze de
Etroyed.

light with the four policemen he ob

soap. In the presence of the trustie
he shaved off his French mustache
and neglected to return the razor,
which he concealed in his clothing.
Uses Soap for Grease.
With the shaving soap, he greased
the steel bars he was sawing so that
no tell-tale squeaks emanated while
he was cutting the metal. He had
taken the precaution of "soaping" the
bars on the outer window before he
began to saw.
After his capture. Curtis was taken
under heavy guard to the office of
Chief of Detectives Maloney. There
he was stripped. Un his ngnt tnign
was the scar of a bullet wound which,
police say, connects him with a bank
robbery in Kanaoipn, Minn., last Sep
tember. ' i
The Randolph robbery was, accord
ing to police information, a most dar
ing affair. One of the bandits, who
had entered the bank and shoved a
revolver under the clerk's nose, made
his escape amid a fusillade of bullets.
One of these bullets hit the robber in
the thigh, witnesses said. The bandit,
weakened by loss of blood, sought re
fuge in a clump of Woods near Ran
dolph, , After he had been hiding
there for ' several hours, a woman,
' supposedly the bandit's wife, drove up
in an automobile and together they
sped away.
The hearing on Curtis' petition for
a habeas corpus writ was postponed
until Friday at the request of his
counsel, Attorney Benjamin J. Baker.

Ira
Diamond Pin Worth $1,000 Found
In Carpet Sweeper at the Fontenelle
A week ago, Mrs. A. V. Kinsler, at
tending the big Red Cross ball at the
Hotel Fontenelle, lost a diamond pin
worth $1,000. She did not know
whether she lost it while dancing, or
while promenading the mezzanine
floor.
She reported the loss to the hotel
management, and told her friends.
Whispered guesses, which soon ex
panded into detailed stories concern
ing the doings of a "society Raffles"
began to go the rounds of the ex
clusive set.
Where would the mysterious gentleman-thief
strike next?
Advertisements in the newspapers
failed to restore the pin.
Mrs. Kinsler was in the ladies'
room of the Hotel Fontenelle Wed
nesday afternoon, and encountered
Mrs. Elizabeth Cartledge, the house
keeper, who was busily pushing a
carpet sweeper back and forth.
"Oh, dear," exclaimed Mrs. Kinsler,
"I do wish I could rind my diamond
pin. I just know I lost it here, and

the bank. The changes are occa
sioned largely by the recent death of
First Vice President W. H. Bucholz,
though it is expected an outside man
will still be taken into the bank in the
place of the late Mr. Bucholz.

Mrs. Cartledge ruffled immediately.
'If you lost anything in this hotel
and it was found, the employes would
certainly return it. The employes of
this hotel are all honest, hard work
ing people."
Mrs. Kinsler left the room and went
downstairs.- Mrs. Cartledge continued
to push the sweeper to and fro. She
pushed more vigorously than usual,
for a moment, and the sweeper sud
denly stuck. Mrs. Cartledge. exas
perated, turned it upside down and
knocked a collection of dust, threads,
papers and strings out into a dust
pan. From the collection of debris a
hard ball of stuff fell out. Mrs. Cart
ledge picked it up. It was the miss
ing pin. Constant brushing against
the sweeper rolls had twisted it a
trifle and wound it round and round
with strings, hairs and threads and it
took Manager Letton ten minutes to
cut the stuff away with a pen knife.
When the pin was returned to Mrs.
Kinsler she was in raptures.

Fourth, to Build a Truck Wh ose
Cost of Maintenance Was Low
ITfn&TI
3r mffl
You've heard of horses that "ate their heads
off" whose cost of keep was quite as great as
the value of the work they did. Some trucks
are that way also; for the man who pays th$ bills
their operation is so costly as to make their
use almost prohibitive.
Reliability, simplicity of operation and a type
of construction that requires but a moderate
amount of care, are, to be sure, requisites of a
worthwhile truck; but, if such features are not
to be had with a reasonably low upkeep cost
their value is considerably reduced.
That GMCs might be highly satisfactory from
every standpoint, this factor of low upkeep was
set down by their builders as the fourth funda
mental principle to be lived up to in their con
struction. The GMCs now in service are mak
ing an enviable reputation for themselves as
trucks that can be maintained at a minimum,
expense.

tors for the tractors in this territory,
Such tractors are expected to play an
important part in the year's program

It is built of high grade steel
throughout and is so designed that it
can be attached in a few moments to
a Ford. It can be used as motive
power for tlitrtv-one distinct opera
tions on th: farm, chief among which
are plowing, dragging, raking, culti
vating and pulling a binder. All of
those operations require trom two to
live horses.
Use Gang Plows.
Tests have proved that this attach
ment will enable the operator to plow
from an acre to an acre and a half
ficr hour, which is more than five
lorses can do. Two horses with a
single plowshare can plow about two
and one-half acres per day. , Five
horses with a two-plow share gang
plow, will plow about live acres in a
ten-hour day.
It is assorted that this work is no
harder on the Ford than ordinary
driving, because the gear ratio of the
attachment is so constructed that the
motor is working in high gear all the
time. The gasoline consumption in
the tests sj far made has averaged
alout one gallon to each ten miles.
The gang plow used in the work
was 'furnished by Manager Parrot of
the Oliver Chilled Plow works in the
interest of the boy scouts' opera
tions. Persistent Advertising Ii the Road
