Fifth Regiment of Marines to Remain in Nicaragua a Year 'WASHINGTON, June 28 -The fifth regiment of marines, with other auxiliaries, was designated today to remain in Nicaragua after the forthcoming removal of half of the 3000 garrison to San Diego, Quantico and Haiti. The Fifth formerly stationed, at Quantico will probably be in the Repubile for mora than a year, Four Youths Rob Kansas Bank; Kidnap Cashier KINSLEY, June 28-Four youthful robbers held up the Kinsley National bank yesterday afternoon, kidnaping the cashier, R. W.

Owings and escaped in a large touring car with between $11,000 and $12,000 in cash. Three of the quartet entered the bank while the cashier and Mrs. Opal Prather, bookkeeper, were alone. The fourth man stood guard outside. Ordering the two to hold up their hands and to keep their mouths shut, the trio climbed over a low railing and went behind the counter.

They ordered the cashier and the girl to get down on the floor and shut their eyes. "I did not do it," Mrs. Prather told police later. "I sat up." After they had scooped up all currency in sight in the vault the robbers ordered Mrs. Prather and Owings to accompany them outside.

They ordered the cashier into the car. "But they changed their minds about taking me along and drove away with Mr. Owings, going north out of town," the bookkeeper recouned. The cashier returned to Kinsley about a halt hour later, explaining the robbers had taken him two miles into the country where they told him to walk back. None of the robbers was masked.

As soon as Mrs. Prather, who was in a highly nervous condition, could give a coherent story of the robbery and a description of the robbers, the police of all nearby cities were notified The robbers drove a high powered car. It is a question whether quotations from dead statesmen influence anybody. No matter what we say, most of love summer best. The popularof Southern California proves it.

NEW LAWS ARE EXPECTED HERE TEARLY DATE ACTS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE BOUND IN VOLUME THIS TIME Nearly 12,000 Copies of Statute to Become Effective July 3 Are Bcing Distributed to Various Missouri Officials Missouri's new laws, passed by the recent fifty-fourth general assembly, and effective July 3, are being sent out from the office of Secretary of: State Charles U. Becker at Jefferson; City and the allotment to Livingston county are expected any day, said i Miss Bessie Abshire, circuit clerk, this; morning.

Twelve thousand copies of the new statutes, in one volume, have been printed. The cost to the state is little more than $1, but the state gets. only 50 cents for the book. This is the selling price as fixed by a law passed in 1875. The secretary of state is urging that this law be changed so that the state will not lose.

The 1927 gession acts cover pages. The 1925 acts covered pages and the 1923 acts only pages. The publication clerk, Charles Fear, and his staff, have been compiling the new laws ever since the legislature adjourned, April 4. The assembly passed 98 senate bills and 98 house bills and 1 joint and concurrent resolution. Governor Baker vetoed only 7 measures.

Some of the more important measures include the new bus regulation statutes, strengthened criminal laws, revised banking statutes, the bill legalizing ten-round, no-decision box-! ing bouts, and the laws providing state recognition and regulation of chiropractors and strengthening the Missouri medical laws, as well as other breadening the state incorporaton regulations. The 12,000 copies of the 1927 session acts printed is 5,000 more than the number printed in 1925, but the supply two years ago was inadequate and a second edition had to be printed.

The outlaw, who is wanted in lahoma for bank robbery and the killing of a deputy sheriff. was captured in a gun fight under the of the Grand Canyon last Thursday.

Kimes said he had a premonition of trouble Thursday morning when he arrived at Bright Angel Cottage, resort at Grand Canyon near here. a premonition was intensified, he admitted, by his knowledge that the notorious Lawrence Brothers, Oklaboma bandits, had been captured in Arizona and that one of them had been hanged for killing an Arizona officer. Kimes said that when he wrested i the gun from Sheriff Parsous during the scuffle which preceded his capture he could have killed the sheriff, but his mental picture of Bill Lawrence being hanged in this state stayed his hand. 44T am sentenced to the tiay for 8 killing now and I I would surely be hanged if I killed!
