Thieves stole a sheet and some othe articles from a clothesline at the John Albertson residence during the early part of Tuesday right.

Beware! » ■ - The Clutching Hand Is Loose Notice is hereby given that a notorious criminal is at large in this city. He is the author of a score of crimes, particularly fiendish in the methods employed. He has completely eluded the police, for he has left no clue as to his identity, except a mark of a clutching hand, by which he has come to be known. His ways are peculiar, his motive for* activity being indefinable. He turns up anywhere—attacks anybody. He goes from a palace to a lowly hovel; from a little child to an old lady. The beautiful woman is not beyond him, nor the strong one. He does not work in the ordinary way. His schemes are awful and ghastly. He must be a scientist gone awry. This warning is therefore made in order to put every family on its closest guard. Women! Lock your doors! Men I Do not go out unprotected. The "Clutching Hand” is worse than ever was "Jack the Ripper” for here the favorite pursuit is murder. Rewards are offered for the detection and arrest of the "Clutching Hand.” Send all information to The People’s National r Anti-Crime League • The PrilßxSs, Try our Qassifisd. CMmnn.
