GOOD CLASS IMMIGRANTS.
They Numbered 248, 267 and Brought
in Nearly 100000.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE commits
si0ner general Of immigration in his
annual report shows that during the
last fiscal year the arrivals of immi-
grants in this country aggregated 343,
2e7 OF whom $40 46S were landed and
2.799 were declared and depOrted at
the expense Of the various steamship
lines by which they came. OF those de-
ported Ii6 were found to be under con-
tract to perform labor in the United
States made prior to their arrival and
q 023 were returned as belonging to 9TH
err prohibited classes.
En addition to the number debarred
there We're 238 who became public
charges within a year after their ar
rival, and hence were returned to the
countries whence they came. The com
missioner general states that he knows
OF no immigrant landed in this country
during the last year who is now a bur
den upon any public or private insttu-
tion- With some exceptions, the report
states the physical characteristics of
the years immigration were those of
q hardy, sound, lab0ring class. accus-
toned and apparently well able to earn
q livelihood wherever apable and in
oustrious L Dor can secure employment.
AS to occupation it was composed large
~ Of the classes designated as skilled
and unskiIled labOrers, with some pro-
Gessi0nals- The amount of money
brought into the country by immigrants
was at least 50, 81, SIS, and prOba bly, was
largely in excess OF tIese figures
The statistics at and the commits
sioner general states, does not justify
the conclusion that our alien population
as growing in undue proportions
"A comparison of the figures for the
past year. 1926 with the average an

HIS THREAT BORE FRUIT.
Wrote That He Would Wreck a U. P.
Train and is Arrested.

H A Lindenmeyer, a blacksmith at
Dorrance, Kan. thought to intimidate
the claim department of the Union Pa
cifc railroad into paying for a COW
which a Union Pacific train had killed
by threatening to wreck a train. The
department caused Lindenmeyer's ar
rest on the charge of felony.
Some months ago Lindenmeyer's
COW was killed by a train at D0rrance
as the town herd was crossing the
tracks. The owner presented a claim
to Claim Agent r. w jenkins of the
Union Pacific of this city for the price
of his COW After fling several let
tiers, which all failed to bring the
money demanded, Lindenmeyer wrote
a letter of which the following is an
extract.
And if she Cthe cow9 is not settled
for in peace, it viii be through little
war. am paying this company from
800 to 5000 freight, and therefore I
think they ought to look over this. But
as I have said. it viii cost them a large
sum of money if I do not get it. I Will
make an expense I viii try; the first
time 1 get a chance I viii wreck a
train, and get it out in this way. Yours
truly,
"(signed) H. A. LINDENAIEYER p
Claim Agent r. w. jenkins filed a
complaint in Justice F'urry's court en-
closing a copy of the letter and de-
handing his arrest for intent thereby
to extort and gain money belonging to
said Union Pacific Railway company,
etc.
Constable Hall Williams brought
Lindenmeyer from Russell county this
morning and he was given a prelim-
mary hearing before Justice Furry III
was bound over to the district court
for trial in the sum of $1,000, in de-
fault of which he was committed to the
county Jail
Lindenmeyer is tall. rough look
ing man. He says he is a blacksmith
at Dorrance. but that his home was
formerly in Bunker Hill, Russell coun-
ty. He is a married man. Ny COW
was in the town herd said he. and
q Union Pacific train ran over her. I
wrote several letters to the railroad
company asking them to pay for her
bat they didn't. Then ] wrote them
this letter and I thought [ would scare
them into paying for my COW, so
said I would wreck a train if they
didn't settle. But I never intended to
do such a thing. Nobody would think
looked like a fellow that would wreck
a train. I don't think they ought to
do anything with me. do you?"
