Davenport. July 2.--Nothing but the
foresight and intuition of his daugh-
ter saved Herman Ehlmanns from be-
ing fleeced out Of $4,000 by a gang OF
smooth confidence men.
1t was the same old story - the
same old land DEAL the same old
meeting OF a stranger, the same Old
stranger, the same old card game, the
same old winning. the same old land
proposition, the same old two tin boxes.
the same old brick.
But the daughter Of Mr.. Ehlmanns
kept that gentleman from starring in
the role of the same old dupe.
A man representing himself as an
agent of Scott County Savings bank
with which Mr.. Ehlmanns does bust
ness called at the Ehlmanns home
night before last and said that the
bank had asked him to get his hosts
assistance in appraising the value Of
some land
Mr. Ehlmanns agreed. Yesterday
morning the pair started out. They
view the alleged property, the man
locating 1t along the Probstet road.
and then started back to town. by
another route.
On their way they met a stranger
with whom they became quite
friendly, so friendly that the stranger
invited them to share his lunch which
they did. A poker game between the
stranger and the psuedo bank agent
followed, the bank agent winning $5,-
600 in real money Of Uncle Sans own
make.
Discounted the stranger went on
his way. The bank agent and Mr..
Ehlmanns started home. The agent
suggested that the two purchase the
property offering to put up his win
nings with $4,000 to be advanced by
Mr.. Ehlmanrls for the purpose. Mr..
Ehlmanns agreed.
/ Leaving the stranger about two
blocks from his home Mr.. Ehlmanns
went to his residence to get his bank
book and draw the money.
A detective awaited him. A daugh
ter of the Davenport man, growing
suspicious had &C suited the bank and
upon that Institutions disclaiming any
connection, had called an officer.
Ehlmanns explained the nature Of
the deal. The detective grinned. Ehl-
manns said The man was to meet him
at butcher shop two blocks away.
The detective, went to the butcher shop
But when the men who were waiting
at the shop saw some one besides Ehl-
MAINS coming from his home they

these rigs we're recovered. In one was

Method Of Determining Pres
ence OF Tuberculosis in
Livestock Misleads
SOME FAILURES ARE CITED
Animal Slightly Wounded Responds to
Tuberculosis Test Whether Afflicted
or Not-others With Disease Inn
mune to Present system-ProbIem
Not Yet Solved.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines July Fin order to
properly fight tuberculosis in cattle and
hogs 1t is believed that there must be
discovered some better means Of test
ing the living animals. Some investiga-
tons have been going on at the state
farms at the institutions. 1t Is found
that q COW with q little scratch on her
foot or any part of her body will re-
'spopd to the tuberculosis test even If
she hasn't any tuberculosis germs
whatever. One cow at one of the state
farms that was in good vigorous
health responded to the test and her
fever ran up to los. When she was
slaughtered 1t was found that she didn't
have any tuberculosis whatever, tho
theirs were two little specks found in
one part OF the meat, there being some
question as to what they We're. An-
other COW scarcely showed any re-
Spouse at all her fever going ul' to but
little above normal When slaughtered
she was found full Of tuberculosis
germs.
Some reports have gotten into the
newspapers that of late a large num-
Der of cattle on the farms of the state
institutions had been killed and were
found to have tuberculosis, fully half
of the herd being affected. This is not
true. Some Of the cattle have been
killed at the state institutions and
some of them were found to be tuberc-
ular but the chief result from the test
of incubation Is that 1t is not a good
test.
One of the chief difficulties in the
way Of Kidding the state of cattle in.
tected with tuberculosis is the cost.
The cattle are many of them valuable
and their loss means much to the own
ers. If the test does not prove accur-
ate and good cattle that have no tuber-
culosis are killed too then the question
is much more important.
Those who are giving considerable
time and thought to the study Of the
question are coming more and more to
the belief that tuberculosis In cattle
and hogs must be killed out by proper
treatment of the animals and the sep
aration of the animals affected from
those that are not 1t is found that tu-
berculosis Is not Inherited. Tuberculos-
Is animals feeding over q pasture and
on the grass will give it to
the others. 1t is not communicated thru
the milk unless the COW has tubercu-
losis of the udder. A COW that has tu-'
berculosis and is a valuable bloc'ded AMI
NAL Is therefore as valuable for breed
ing purposes as any other and If kept
away from the others and rigidly quar-
antined there is no particular danger
in the animal being kept alive. As soon
as proper means OF testing the AMI
mails alive is found it is believed that
all low priced animals should he killed
