MAN SOUGHT SINCE LAST NOVEMBER IS HELD IN ILLINOIS An eight months' search for a fugitive sought by local authorities has come to an end in Peoria, Ill. Sheriff G. O. Housley was advised Friday by a telegram from Charles F.

Deputy Sheriffs Fred W. Dralle and Grant Neeley were dispatched Saturday to Peoria to return Manson here. En route there they will take in custody at Madison, Ray Swenson, fugitive of almost a year, recently captured in that city. Swenson is wanted on a charge of aggravated robbery. Authorities believe he was man who robbed the E.

L. Richardson service station August, 1931. Dralle and herseyin will deliver both prisoners here. Manson was engaged tailoring business while in Casper. After cashing a bogus check at a local hotel, he drove a driveyourself car out of town, accompanied by his wife, authorities contend.

Trace of him was then lost. The car was abandoned in Des Moines, la. An intensive nation-wide search was instituted by the sheriff's office, with final apprehension of the wanted man the result. He gave the name of Max Miller, alias Max Crandall, when jailed in Peoria.

We have plenty water, but not the pumping capacity at the present time. Therefore it is highly necessary that the water users of the City use care in the irrigation of their lawns and gardens. It is a useless waste of water, and extravagance on the part of the water user to place his water hose in such position as to allow water to run for hours onto the sidewalks and streets. I find such condition existing in many parts of the city most every day. I therefore urge upon all water users to be more careful in the use of water, thereby saving money for themselves, and also relieving the City Water Department to some extent in the present heavy working season.
