Mrs. Nancy Garloch of " Bladen
holds two records of which she is
proud. She recently passed her V9tb
birthday at the home of her daugh
ter. Mrs. P., Sayloiy amid a shower
of post cards, boxes of candy and a
multitude of other remembrances.
Over 100 post cards from relatives
alone drepped in on Grandmother
Garloch on her birthday.
But it is not of her age nor of
her post cards that she 5s so proud,
but of her great nunibwof decen
dents and of what she calls her "war
record."
Grandmother Garloch, they all
caUher, is the grandmother of 41
grandchildren, and has seven chil
dren living. Greater than this, she
is the great grandmother of 143
young American citizens. This, how
ever, is not the limit to the num
ber of ' her progeny. Grandmother
Garloch boasts that she is great-great-grandmother
of 17- children.
Grandmother Garloch keeps well
informed of her "war record." Her
grandfather fought in the revolu
tion, her father in the war. of . 1812,
her husband, Andrew Garloch, ' in
the civil war, 'and her son, Thomas
S.Garloch. in the Spanish-American
war.
Besides these. Grandmother. Gar-!-
loch is now collecting data- from the
various corners of the Unitey Slates
regarding the number of grandchil
dren and great-grandchildren who
served in the world war. '.
Grandmother Garloch still holds
her head high, for she comes f a
long-lived family.. Her' .father and
mother both reached the' age', of S5:
one brother, V6, and another, 94.

of conspiracy to commit murder and

"Red" Burzette, "notorious1 leader of
a gunman gang in Sioux City, who
was killed July 22, 1919 by Detec
tive James Britton, who was him
self dying from wounds, received
during a fierce gun battle between
the police and the Burzette Rang,
was arrested Friday night in Omaha
at the Harley hotel by Detectives
Danbaum and Palmtag.
Murders and robberies by the
rcore were attributed to the Burzette
gang of which "Shiny Mae." as she
is dubbed by police, was tr.t admit
ted idolized queen.
One by one the members of the
gang have been corralled and sent
to prison, but "Shiny Mae" faced no
charges at the time of the arrest of
members of her gang. She was in
dicted, last spring, however, by the
county grand jury at Sioux City, and
released on bond.
Then she dropped from sight and
last fall Omaha police were notified
to look for her here. Three months
later Omaha police were "tipped"
that the beautiful bandit queen was
hiding in underworld recesses here,
but could not be found.
Her arrest was made last night
following a third request by the Iowa
authorities. She will be returned to
Sioux City tonight.
