CHILD BURGLARS CAUGHT
REDHANDED IN NEW YORK
Youngsters in knickerbockers RAM
sack Residence With Care and
Skill of Professionals
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Two boys in
knickerbockers attempted yesterday to
street. They forced an entrance with
all the care and skill of experienced
burglars, but were caught as they
emerged through the front door carry
ing a bag in which were jewelry, cigars
camera films, books and thimbles. In
the bag was valuable pearl necklace
The entire lot is valued at $1,000.
The boys are both from good families
and their parents were thunderstruck
when summoned to the police station
and told of their exploits.
One was IL years of age, the other
IA. Neither would say much about their
exploit, but they took no pains to con-
ceal the fact that they were proud of it.
A passer-by, who was made sus-
picious by the actions of the two boys,
was instrumental in their capture. He
called three policemen. who on investi-
cation found that the boys had pried
open trap door on the roof and broken
through a heavy wire screen beneath
With a rope ladder they then descended
and ransacked the house, whose owner
was absent in the country.
Two detectives who had been postel
at the front door captured the youthful
burglars when they sailed out with
armloads of spoils.

a tortoise marked with the initials I'D.
W. has been waddling about the West
farm, in the Obey valley, and through
its more than century of known exis-
tence the West family has kept track
of it.
How old the tortoise was at the time

is no means of telling. David West, a
boy of IS years and a grandson of John
West, who settled on the farm In 174O.
was the person who first sunk his jack
knife into its she'll
The same year that David West
marked the tortoise he died from
typhoid fever; but his brother John re-
newed the marks from year to year
until 1886, when he died. Johns son
Daniel looked after the tortoise and re-
newed the inscription until ten years

FARMERS WIVES STRIKE;
"C0LD GRUB" THE RULE
Matrons Bring About Labor Problem
by Refusing Hot Meals to Men
With Thrashers
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Aug. 5.-The
farmers Of the county are having great
difficulty in getting men to assist in the
thrashing of the immense crop of wheat
because of the fact that 1t has been
reported that the farmers wives in
many localities have banded them
selves together in clubs with ironclad
obligations not to cook lavish feasts for
thrashers, as has been the custom.
Heretofore these localities have been
noted for their thrashing dinners of
mutton, veal, boiled ham, toothsome
roasts, stuffed turkeys and fried
chicken, the women having We'd with
each other in preparing these meals.
They have now resolved that all this
hustle in the heated season is vanity
and a waste of energy and that the
men can get along on hard boiled eggs
and cold grub" Several instances are
noted where cold meats were sent to
the fields and the men had to eat in
the shade of wagons and trees.
Thrasher men say that If the women
continue to refuse to serve hot meals
they will be compelled to provide for
their employees, taking cooking and
sleeping outfits along with them, as
thrasher owners in the northwest now
do. In that case farmers will be COM
PEELED to pay more to get their wheat
thrashed. The wheat yield in Shelby
county is the largest in many years,
the yield being from seventeen to forty
three bushels an acre.
