Erdmanns was formerly in the real es- : state business in Chicago, and his to- Ital connection with that line of work 1 is ten years. His experience leads him to believe that the land in this valley is much too low and that it is certain

 he thinks this land will yield a greater
 profit on many products and fruits
 than that in Colorado. He reasons, and well, that land which will raise
 four to six crops, will be worth more
 than land which will only produce two .Or one crop per annum. Yet much
 land in this valley is selling for but little moro than land in the middle west which yields but one crop each year by dint of hard labor. Mir Erd- manns has located here and has a good list of properties. He reports business as encouraging even at this season of the year. He expects to in fluenee a number of people in Illinois and Colorado where he is well ac-
 quainted to come hero his winter and look the proposition over, and he hopes to locate a large per cent of them when they see what the opportunities are. It was printers ink which attracted his attention to this valley and he believes that it is good thing to attract other people to his own business offerings, therefore he had no more than landed in t' wn than he invested in space in

$2,O00.OO0 and who is declared by pol
ice and detectives to be the most sue
cessfu burglar In criminal records,
will Oh Easter day, April 10, be a free
man. That Is to say, Shinburn will be
free If the man who has been In the
state prison here since 1900 is Shin
burn. He says his name Is Moebus.
In all the years he has been here
he had steadfastly maintained that
the law has made mistake, and that
he Is the victim OF case OF mistaken
identity Shinburn, or Schonbein, Is
known among burglars as the Raj
fies." among bank robbers. To the
police OF this country and Europe he
has been known for 30 years as King
OF Bank Burglars"
Today he is old and bent and feeble
but back In the sixties he was leader
OF the most dangerous gang of bank
safe blowers the detectives have ever
had TO deal with. He is the last of
the lot, all the others having died AS
head Of this band his share of loot
in ten years was over 100000.
Shinbum saved his money and,
when forced to flee the country went
to Belgium, where he bought the title
of baron and went into business. He
failed and returned to his bank rob
bling.
Shinburn had minute knowledge of
safe-making, and those who ought to
know declare lock or combination
could not defy him. His hearing was
SO acute that II is declared he could,
by placing his ear TO a safe and turn
ing the dial, detect the number which
threw the tumblers into place.
Shinburn is credited with having a
part In the robbery of the Boylston
Bank In Boston, when 100000 was
stolen. Among other robberies in
which he was implicated were those at
the Walpole Savings bank in Walpole,
n. H., and the st. Adams Bank at st.
Adams. VT. He also planned the rob
berry of the Ocean Rank in Greenwich,

Shinburn has escaped from prison
and officers many times, but his most
| daring dash for freedom was made
here, where he was serving term for
| tn Walpole robbery. He escaped cap
ture and was not again located until
arrested and placed in Dannemora
prison, New York, where he served a
term, after which he was again
brought here.

MRS. SOPHIA DAY JENNINGS
Widow Of Former Pastor Of the Ole
Church at Center.

The death OF Mrs Jennings In her
SIND year removes another OF those
lives growing fewer every year, which
connects US with the past. From 1863
till The death of her husband, the be-
loved pastor OF the Old First Church
In 1884, she was an active partici-
pant IN the. church and social life OF
the village on the hill.
Born In Mansfield Ohio, she was
nevertheless VermOnter by anteced-
ents. being direct descendant of
Beriah LOOMS Of Shetford, VI, who
was member OF the Second Council
OF Censors, 1929, the same council
to which belonged those well known
Bennington names, Elijah Dewey An
thony Haswell and Isaac Tichenor.
Her mother was pioneer In the
early days of Ohio, and there she was
born IN 1926. She was graduated
from Oberlin college, In the ladies' de-
partment In 1916, and, In February
1877, was married TO Reverend Isaac
Jennings, who had just resigned his
pastorate at Akron Ohio TO return to
the state of his birth, having received
a call to the First Congregational
church OF Stamford, Conn. Coming
east with her husband, she at once
entered upon the arduous task OF
minister's wife In this historic church.
In 1858 they removed TO Bennington.
bringing with them two children a
boy and a girl. Here six of her sons
were born. here death came into her
family and claimed one of the boys
and the only daughter. severe blow
10 the loving parents. But here she
trained her boys. looking well to her
household according TO the scrip.
ture, and here lived her active life.
Known for her gentleness, her sweet
disposition and happy smile. her readi-
ness OF resource, her ceaseless activity.
her kindly thoughtfulness for others,
and her unvarying hopefulness pray
fulness and faith. She was a sweet
singer and loved music with an en-.
'thusiastic spirit. And although near
ly twenty-one years have passed since
her husband died, which took her from
the active scenes OF this community,
her interest In her old friends and
fellow workmen never abated Peace
fully, almost joyously, she relinquished
her commission on earth last Sunday
afternoon. And today gently carried
by her six sons. her body was laid TO
rest in the old cemetery by the side
OF her husband and near the graves
OF her daughter and two sons.
