So apeak Tom 0urdane, Pendleton

time stood la the spotlight of world-
wlde publicity as the men who cap­
tured William Edward Hickman, kld-

No matter how great to the pres­

Indomitable nature. When Byrd waa

one foot twice tn sports, and one of
the bones faDe^to knit Because of
bls Injury he was somewhat later re­
tired from the navy, hto career appar­
ently ended, leaving him. In his own
words, a "fisale" at life. The broken
ends of the unknitted bone In hto foot
were nailed together by surgeons, and
friends say with a laugh that Iron
from that nail must have permeated
Byrd’s system and made him strong
beyond all poeslblllty of defeat
As a matter of fact of course, Byrd's

WMMJT JEWELRY FOUND
» PREHISTORIC GRAVE
Kar Ornamenta Buried With Mound
Builder Unearthed In Perfect
State of Preoorvatlon.
Nashville, Tenn.—Although buried
for centuries, two ear ornaments,
carved from American walnut were
recently found in a remarkable state
of preservation. They were discov­
ered by a Nashville archeologist,
George M. Spears, In opening the
grave of one of the ancient mound
bulldera.
The extreme antiquity of tbo grave
la evidenced by the fact that the

and
crumbled to dust when exposed to
the air, but the two ear ornaments.
found at either side of the skull, were
still sound. They were crudely carved
to represent birds, and, although one
was broken In making the excava­
tion. they are otherwise in an almost
perfect state of preservation.
The exact number of years thst this
walnut has endured is difficult to de-
temlne, but it is known that the race
of mound builders vanished long be­
foreColumbus landed on these shores.
Today those who are engaged in
carring out walnut of a more prosaic
but more useful form are concerned
with another kind of "walnut Jew­
elry," for this Is the name given to
the odd bits of Iron or steel that are
found In walnut logs, and which, when
encountered by aaws or knives at the
mill, often ruin valuable machinery
or even endanger the lives of the
workmen.
Horseshoes, coupling pins from the
railroad, nails, spikes and even an
old pistol have been found burled In­
side of walnut logs.
Many theories have been advanced
to account for the iron objects that
are found in walnut log»—theories
thst necessitate going back from 80
to 100 years. Perhaps a farmer, find­
ing a horseshoe and seeing do con­
venient nail to bang It on, puts it
over the limb of a thriving young wal­
nut tree for good luck. The shoe is
forgotten and as years go by the tree
sdds layer upon layer and gradually
grows around the horseshoe until It
becomes buried In the crotch. Time
passes, and when an attempt is
made to cut crotch wood for Its grain
effect In fine furniture, the saw runs
Into the shoe, burled there for years.
Another case la that of small boys
seeking to get walnuts faster than by
the alow process of throwing stick
and stones up Into the branches. One
boy conceives the Idea of driving
spikes and climbing the tree as a
linesman climbs a telegraph pole.
Tears pass and they, too, become
buried in the tree.
In similar manner nails and bits of
fence wire become lost to view where
trees have been used In Hen of fence
poets. Later the nails and wire show
up to dull the saws or knives and to
diminish the amount of lumber or
veneer that can be obtained from the
walnut log.

Athens, Ga.—The school children of
Athens have made what may bo a
world record at an unpopular task-
going to the dentist.
For the second successive yeer every
white child In the elementary schools
who needed teeth cleaned. pulled or
filled has gone to a dentist and re­
ceived from him a certificate that the
needed work has been done.
For the first time this perfect rec­
ord has also been attained by every
negro elementary school In the city.
Going to the dentist Is an essential
part of the school health program
which has been carried on In Athens
schools for five years as a part of a
child health demonstration conducted
Jointly by the dty, Clarke county and
the commonwealth fund.
The board of education has offered
a spedal holiday to each school that
completes Its 100 per cent score.
Dental health work has been made
a permanent part of the school pro­
gram.
Athena has a population of 16,000
and an elementary school enrollment
of 2.000.

plainland of Umatilla county, Lleual­

who left hto horaa for a motorcycle, to
happy to be back on his old Job.
"I made no plan« for the money tn
caae it materialigM" Lleuallen aald.
"Tom and I got out of Loe Angeles,
where we were wftnerees at the mur­
der trial, with aboat 83,500 each. For
a time though it looked aa If we would
have to sleep on the beach and dig
dams for food."
The huge Gurfigne tells a similar
story, with a dry smile as a hard
hand rumples his wealth of iron-gray
hair.
"I am not klcklhg," he said, being
In a Jovial mood, as be had Just won
the Republican nomination for sheriff
ot Umatilla county.
"The people at home know what
happened and how It happened. I
pride myself on being a good peace
officer. I know Buck 1s one, too. We
acted In th« capacity only—thinking
nothing of rewards—when we cap­
tured Hickman after he had driven
a stolen automobile from Loe An­
geles to Portland and then to Seattle,
back to Portland, and up on the old
Oregon trail toward eastern Oregon."
Capture •The Fox."
It was Just outside Pendleton,
known far and wide as the “Round
Up” dty, that Gurdane and Lleuallen
captured "The Fox.”
They, In common with hundreds of
other peace officer», bad the descrip­
tion of the autoBiobile Hickman was
driving, so prepared to meet it at a
point where excessive speed was Im­
possible. Meet it they did and the
"Murdering Fox" bad hto guns taken
away and was In Jail almost before
he knew what had happened. No false
heroics or other display—Just plain
policeman efficiency.
“Eastern Oregon to good enough for
us. We like to see quite a way when
we exercise our eyes," Lleuallen and
Gurdane aay when asked bow they
enjoyed their stay In Loa Angeles.
But 87,000 tor the pair who were
held up once as being sure winners
of rewards aggregating 8100,000 Isn’t
much money by comparison.
No Bitterness Shown.
Neither seems bitter.
“The old Job, the wife and baby.
and an occasional turn on a horse big
enough to carry me Is quite a bit to
bo thankful for," IJeuallen, the hand­
some traffic cop, said. It is obvious
that the term "big horse" Is used
properly, for Lleultoen weighs 220
pounds.
v“'
As for PendletonlanA they feel
slightly grieved because Tom and
Buck are not comparatively rich men
today. “They earned It” la the attl-
tude of Umatilla county In general.
Among other things, they recall the
statement of Hickman when In Jail
here:
"Who should get the reward?
"Don’t ask foolish questions. 1 drove
almost the entire length of California
and actually talked with Los Angeles
detectives who were looking for me.
I drove through southern and western
Oregon, being In Portland twice, and
to -Seattle but 1 couldn’t get away
from that pair of eastern Oregonians.
"The reward," Hickman added at
that time, "Is being offered for my
capture, according to the papers. Well,
Tom and Buck did that and are en­
titled to every cent" •
But approximately |7,000 for the
both, from rewards offered by news­
papers, radio stations and vaudeville
contracts, la all the men received.
Squabbles as to division of the money
took place In Los Angeles. The city
council started questioning the legal­
ity of its own act of paying a reward
and withheld It Lleuallen and Gur-
dane grew tired and after Hickman
was convicted returned borne.
“Maybe the dty doesn’t want the
money to get out of town," Gurdane
said with a glint of amusement
"We’d like it but can stagger along
without it” echoes Lleuallen.
