Outlaws Defy
Death to Bring
Whisky Here
6,000 Quarts Brought Here
From Canada Each Week by
Desp'eVate Bands in Ships,
Cars and Airplanes.
Minoi. N. D., Nov. 13. (Special.)
i More than 15,0:)0 quarts of whisky
are illegally imported from Canada
each week, of which about 40 per
cent is take to Omaha, local officers
estimated.
In this vicinity from ekht to 10
cars arc known t. dash to the border
1 tt I H 1 lu iliuiii tat it infill, liiuvn ......
I from 18 to 25 cases of whisky each.
The unusual acl vity and daring ot
these border wh'sky runners is at
tributed to the .tct that the prairie
provinces of Canada go dry on
January 1 and probably of the sup
ply of" liquor be'ng cut off before
the roads are passable in the spring.
Numerous Night Battles.
The result h;,s been numerous
night battles on lonely roads be
tween United States ; prohibition
rangers and whisky runners. The
border has become a seething tur
moil of intrigue.
Tales of plots in which desperate
men plan to use ships, airplanes,
armored cats, dynamite and even in
nocent water wagons to transport
liquor to this coitntry, plots usually
thwarted by fedeial officers, are so
common that their veracity seems
almost certain. f
Daily men arj facing death to en
force the 18th amendment. Federal
agents are"forced to cope with phan
tom airplanes; hey must surround
and advance on lonely log' cabins
tilled with armed men and saia to
contain large sto.es of whik;, they
must unearth sti'ls which are elec
trically attached t; dynamite charges.
Filled With Adventure.
Reports of this handful of pro
hibition border rangers are filled
with adventures which savor of the
once popular dune novel. They tell
ot running gun battles; of rumbling
water wagons w hose common place
walls are found to contain hundreds
of gallons of 98-nroof liquor; of or
dinary tiny gasoline launches which
chop their way down the north shore
of Lake Superior, slip through the
Duluth canal in the small hours,
discharge cargoes of whisky cases
in the' gloom of a warehouse pier
and then make ostentatious entry at
the regular berth on the 'waterfront
and discharge their legitimate car
goes of fish, and of many other
ruses, most of them still more un
believable. Romantic tales of feuds and moon
shine plots in old Kentucky lose
cohy- when compared with the matter-of-fact
reports of these men.
Aurora Banker Sues to

Aurora, Neb., Nov. 13. (Special.)

Madison County
i
Sheriff Fails to
Locate Leper
Declares Diligent Search for
Last Three Days Failed to
'Show Hiding Place of
Diseased Man.
Norfolk, Neb., Nov. 13. (Special
Telegram.) When Sheriff" Clint
Smith of Madison was told today
that the state board of health has
decided to make an inquiry into
the mysterious disappearance last
July of Charles Young, the Madi
son county leper, he declared that
he was not interested. ' He, said he
had made a diligent search and. was
not able to find the leper.
The shieriff declared he diij not
know that the leper had escaped
from the temporary pest house on
the county . poor farm near Battle
Creek until he was asked about it
by A. K. Donovan, a represeenta
tive of The Omaha Daily Bee, who
was in Madison Wednesday.
"When I learned that Young had
disappeared from the pest house."
the sheriff said, "I was not surprised
herause when I last saw Ynnnor in
ju)ne, he complained to me about
the sanitary condition of his sur
roundings. On one side of his hut
was a nig Den and on the other an
cutbuilding. No one was really
guarding mm. so jar as J. am con
cerned, I believe Young wasvtured
of leprosy. He was taking a cer-
ram Kina or on ana trie spors wmcn
first caused his detention had en
tirely disappeared. I don t know
where he is now, although I made
a diligent search when I heard of
his being away."
County (Attorney Tyler declared
he knew nothing of Young's dis
appearance. Newspaper stories of
the leper's disappearance, he said,
was the first he heard of the es
cape. County Commissioner Fred Terry,
who helped capture Young when
he first escaped from Tidcu, Neb.,
where he way first located after be
ing sent out of Douglas county, de
clared that the county had done
everything pos.-.ible for Young's
comfort, a temporary pest house had
been erected and food was being
furnished the leper by the steward
at the county poor farm. No one
was on guard, he s- d, and the leper
would have no troi. -lc in making his
escape had he a mind to do so.
The report of employes at the
poor farm that an automobile had
taken the. leper away is discribed
by' county officials. In discussions
on the subject, county officials ap
pear not in the least surprised that
the leper had run away.

Question No. 5 What can you do for
stomach trouble?
It is generally conceded that a
multitude of human ailments arise
from indigestion, and in its ' various
forms it taxes the skill of thtr physi
cian to prescribe the proper remedies.
The nerve and blood supply to the
stomach perform an important part in
the elaboration and secretion of the
gastric juice and a very important
part of the nervous system the fur
nishing of energy for the stomach
movements during digestion.
Interference with the transmission
of nerve energy leading to tfie stom
ach is the cause of many cases of
stomach troubles that could be cor
rected by Chiropractic adjustments.
The Chiropractic method which I
employ brings correction in many
stubborn cases even after other meth
ods have failed.
There is no charge for consultation,
and it places you under no obligation
whatever. Office adjustments are
twelve for ten dollars or thirty for
twenty-five dollars.
If we can not help you we will not
accept your case.
