A COOL HEAD AND A READY RIFLE
Much, has been said in the press the last two days about
Cliff IcGinnis, who lives near the Grande Ronde river in
the Promise district, and who captured the Wallowa bank
robber suspects single handed. And of all that has been said,
McGinnis is deserving, and is rightly cast in the hero role,
' Our Promise correspondent writes in simple words the
, story of , the feat, and here it is:
. "Cliff McOlnnls, who lives near the Grande Rondo river about
. five miles below Promise, made a trip up the Powwatka ridge
Thursday afternoon and stopped at the home of Ord Wortman and
they were telling him about the bank robbery which nad occurred
at Wallowa Monday In which two men' held up the bank and
V escaped with cash and valunblo papers. The robbers entered their
cor and took of the Leap country road where the officers lost
track of them, McOlnnls was told. ' .....
"Cliff Decided to himself that these men might have abandoned
their car (which they had) and might bo hiding In the Mud Crock
canyon. He: loft the Wortman home at 4 o'clock In the afternoon
and went directly to the canyon. He spied two men coming down
the canyon side from the east. Cliff hurried on to his home and
secured his rifle and field glasses and told his mother he thought
he had located some deer. 8he Insisted on accompanying him.
Then he told her of the bank robbery at' Wallowa and that he
sav two men In the canyon Just a short distance away. He went
on and soon located the men and succeeded In getting close enough
to get his gun trained them. Cliff yelled to them that he had
them covered with his rtfle and that they had better. give them
selves up. One of the men quickly complied with his request while
the other ono argued the case awhile and finally both threw down
their' guns and did as'he'told them. He marched them ahead of
' .him and made them wndo the river as It was getting late nnd it r
was a' mile to tho bridge over a rough trail, and by wading the
river they soon reached his house.
"In the meantime Mrs. McOlnnls waited anxiously for Cliff's
t return. She saw nlm coming with the two men and loaded her
own gun to be prepared to defend herself and Cliff in case they
made any opposition. Cliff told her to prepare them some supper
aa they had not had food for several days. She prepared them
food and gave them dry clothing. ,
; "They then phoned to Troy for extra men to guard the prisoners
while Cliff went back and got tho money where the robbers had
told him It was hidden. He obtained the money and phoned the
tariff."
It was as simple as that for Cliff McGinnis just a coo)
head and' a ready rifle and an abundance of what the slangy
world calls "sand." All honor to him -- we need more men
like Cliff; and we need more women like his mother, who
was ready for any dpvelopment, ready to defend her son and
not standing in his way in what he saw as simple duty.
A few more people like the McGinnis mother and son over
the nation and the crime wave would le just a little ripple.

Declaring that ahe did not? assume
In any way that the press of the

would remove from editorial and news
columns some of the sectional and
institutional partisanship and bit

board to put before tile public edu

significance and Importance.

"There must be further adjustment

Mrs. Pierce said In conclusion. "Fac

Ford V-8 dramatically proved
its superiority in speed and en
durance, by averaging 80.22
miles an hour for 203 miles
with a maximum speed of 100.3
miles an hour in the famous
Elgin National Road Race for
stock cars. The event was run
under rules and personal super
vision of the American Auto
mobile Ass'n contest board.
Fifteen cars, of four different
makes (including the "other
two" in the low price field)
were entered. Seven Ford V-8s
finished in the first seven places.
Only one competitive car fin
ishedin eighth place.
Over a treacherous course of
concrete, bituminous macadam
and gravel, these Fords took
more punishment in minutes
than you would give your car
in months.
It is much safer and far more
economical to travel 60 or 65
miles an hour in a car built to
do 80, than it is to travel at the
same speed in a car built to do
65 or 70.
