the pair who taa;ed the holdup in
the railroad yards at Shenandoah.
Witness Gets Laugh.
McKee brought a laugh from the
audience, when he told of the gen
erosity tf the bandits. They had taken
all hs money and he asked them to
leve him enough for supper. They
yave a dollar. McKee said he had
tried to hold out on the bandits, but
without success. They took $65
irom him and Atwood lost $90. He
and McKee were the heaviest losers.
Most of what McKee bad was win
nings in the game.
The killing of Patton was de
scribed by Atwood, and J. ,P. Gar
rett, city .marshal of Shenandoah.
Both were positive Patton fell fol
lowing the first shot Area and which,
;said the witnesses, came from a pile
of ties near the station at Bingham,
to which place Patton and his com
panions had gone to capture the
holdup bandits. As the train pulled
into Bingham, Atwood recognized
..the Hickmans walking along .the
- track, so he testified. It is the con
tention of the state the Hickmans
took refuge behind the pile of ties
and shot the deputy sheriff,
Became Excited.
Atwood admitted he became "very
excited" after the first shot had been
iired and that he -sought safety, on
the train. Garrett says Patton fell
following" -the flash of a gun from
the direction' of 'the tie pile and ex
pired almost immediately.
In is opening statement to the
jury, Attorney Hess, for the defense,
declared -the tate must prove con
clusively which of the two Hick
mans, if either, fifed the shot which
killed Patton. In case the state
fails in this, the jury must find the
defendants not guilty, declared the
attorney.

THE UNIVERSAL CA17
Is it price? Yes, but not entirely so. v
Is it economical upkeep and maintenance? Yes, but that is not alL
Is it endurance? Yes, that has nauch to do whh it, yet that is not all.
It is the downright dependability of the car; the fact that it is always ready and
willing; the fact that it is easily handled and controlled in small spaces;-the fact
that it will go everywhere any car will go, and a great many placet where others
won' go.-
It is all of these things that make it the every-duty car for business and for pleasure.

Nation's Dry Chief
Won't Say When
His Job Will End
Federal Prohibition Director
Admits He Has Gigantic
Task Predecessor Said
Would Take Century.
By W. rL ATKINS.
Washington, Aug. 24. Roy A.
Haynes, "dry'.' battler of Ohio, now
prohibition chief of the United States,
is a double-barreled optimist. But
as a prophet he's as shy as a March
hare.
Just ask Haynes what he thinks
about the future aridity of America,
and he will tell of his hopes, his am
bitions and his air-tight plans for
liquor control.
But as for a flat prediction of when
the United -States will begin to re
duce its present "wetness and become
actually 'dry, in fact as well as in
theory, he settles back in complacent
silence and merely smiles.
To: those who are yet to know the
liquor law boss at close range it may
be said that he wears an expansive
and gracious smile that invites ad
miration because the man who wears
it perforce must smile, or fall in de
spair in a task that means constant
vicissitude.
Getting Toe Hold.
But behind this-smile there may be
much significance. Significance pos
sibly because Haynes, just getting
toe hold on his job, has begun to
realize the immensity -of the prob
lems set before him for solution.
It is but fair to Haynes. his sup'
porters all agree, 'to -concede that
his job is one of the most difficult
and perhaps one of the most thank
less in the government service. In
the present frame of mind of the
public over prohibition, and senti
ment constantly shifting over . the
different angles ot the question
Haynes admits that he does not ex
pect that all of his acta will 'escape
censure even from the drys.
To Be fair.
Haynes, in a .good beginning, says
he wants to be fair and square in
liquor law enforcement He does
not want to grow frantic, ac
quiescing to demands of dry advo
cates 'regardless of the terms of the
law, nor noes 'he want to be so
lenient that the bars will be let
down for ;law ,'breaking.
Haynes would like to see the
United States so dry in the next
year'fthat it will 'be impossible for
an American to get ia prink oi
liquor of any 4md or xolor, or de
gree of voltage. Of course, ht
modifies this"by .admitting that, as
congress has specified, liquors have

Former Governor of

In Uand-to-Hand Fight
Sault Ste. Marie, Onot, Aug. 24.
Former Governor Charles E. Os
borne of Michigan engaged in a
desperate hand-to-hand battle in St

after stunning the animal with blows

when the bear appeared, 'swimming

that his blows were having no effect,

to be made available for medical
needs.
As for beverage liquors, however,
it is his ambition to slam the lid on
so tight that the country -will be as
ury as .me weu-Known Sahara. Jie is
careful . to . qualify his hopes, how
ever, with the emphatic statement
that they -are not liivked un with a
prediction.
Can't Predict.
"I cannot predict when the coun
try will be dry," said Haynes. "That
is -scarcely possible now. We hope
for much. We are, confident much
will Tie done to improve enforcement
and banish liquor for unlawful uses."
Waynes does not wish to annear
in the light of a .prophet. He takes
the view that one might as well pre
dict when the world will come to an
end. He expressed interest in the
prediction of his predecessor, John
F. Kramer, that -possibly a hundred
years would pass before prohibition
becomes an actual fact. He weighed
that prediction thoughtfully. He
would ay nothing to upset it, real
izing that Kramer had had consid
erable inside knowledge of condi
tions and must have based his well
considered statement upon some
thing else than loose guessing.

And reniember that for five years, including last year, when ,
it jold at $2600, the Hudson Super-Six was iho 'largest selling
fine car in the world.
At its new price of $1895 doesn't it represent incomparably! the
greatest value in the fine car market?
No judicious buyer today makes his choice without comparing
not only the present price of cars, but also their relative values
as indicated by the position and reputation they have held
for years.
Such comparison today directs intensified interest upon
Hudson.
It Redoubles Hudson's Value
Advantage
There is no need to call attention
to the quality, ability and distinc
tion of Hudson. Its leadership in
these is a long acknowledged po
sition. It is now in its sixth year as
the largest selling fine car. In
every way that proof can be of
fered it has established its right to
that eminence.
Many of its official records are of
five years' standing. 'They have
been challenged incessantly. Isn't
it significant that five years of in
tensive competition has produced
no rival to outstrip them?
