expecting to arrest another man on

his mother-in-law’s home by a man
who rang the door bell, and said he
wanted to “see Mr. Richards” he was
hit over the head with a black jack!
and dragged from his porch to a]
waiting automobile in front of the
house and spirited away. He wasi
clubbed over the head a dozen or
more times as the car sped along for
five or six blocks, being beaten into

Richards as he hit the pavement. Two
hours later Adams was arrested at
his home. He denies the charge.

DISPATCH GIFT ‘
MEN OR WOMEN WITH BUSINESS
PERSPECTIVE WILL SEE¢ POSSI
BILITIES IN STARTING NOW.
The bhig race is about to begin.
What are you going to do about it?
Join in this great profit-sharingl
competition, or are you going to be
negligent of the grand opportunity at
hand? YOU are invited to participate
in the distribution of a $4,500 prize
list, which is made up of the most
alluring, appropriate and worth- |
‘while things that one could imagine.
A little investigation of the prizes
offered in the big ‘“drive” will con
‘vince you of the sterling worth of ev
ery one of the rewards in the list
and just because the prizes are
larger and the most valuable, as well
‘as the most plentiful of any that have
ever before been offered in this sec
tion is no reason why you should stend
kack and figure that they are “over
!your head” so to speakfi andbeyond
yourreach.
Much time and thought was given
to the selection of the prizes and in
offering such a magnificent list to its
readers and friends. The Dispatch
feels justly proud of the offering.
How can it be done? Some ask if
it can be possible that one miay win
such a valuable prize in just a few
short weeks time. Well, this is the
case exactly and this isn’t all of it,
either.,
A glance at the prize list nearly
staggers one but it is the truest thing
you have ever read. In a little b€uter
than six weeks time, these three capi
tal prize autos, as well as the other
awards, will be presented to the, cen
didates for the efforts put forth in
the campaign.
The Dispatch is offering you one ol
the best business propositions, to
utilize your spare-time for the next
six weeks that can possibly be made;
one that, without interferring with
either your business or your home lite
will pay you as high as $200.00 pcr
