COUNTY TREASURER
LOCKED IN VAULT
Woonsocket officer Robbed Of
$5,087 and Imprisoned by
Masked Men.

W~oonsocket, S. D., Dee. S1.-County
Treasurer Michael Meir, OF this, San.
born county, was robbed of $5,0S7 last
night by masked robbers and afterward
locked in the vault while the men made
their escape.
The treasurer was working late last
night to get his books In shape for the
January balance, and about 8 O'Clock
two men entered the room through the
hall door, which had been left unfas.
tened. n when he looked up to see
who they were he was confronted with
two ~revolvers which were pointed at
his head. He was commanded to hold
up his hands and there was nothing
else for him to do. The vault was IN
locked TO permit him to get his books
on which he was working, and the rob
bers, who had evidently been secreted
in the building for some time, forced
him into the vault, where they secured
all the q on hand and then closed
the door on him n pushed the bolt.
Through the window in one end of
the vault the treasurer was able to
command the attention of some passers
by on the street and they succeeded in
liberating him from Imprisonment, but
no trace has been found OF the robbers,
IL being impossible for the officers to
track either a team or automobile along
the roads leading from the town.

ernor-elect George l.. Lilley, opened
here today upon the application Of
George l.. Fox, a schoolmaster of this

alone to politicians, but to the legal
fraternity as 1t is claimed this is the
first election court to set up in this
country.
At the November election Mr.. Lii
ley was opposed by a faction in his
own party. The strength of his an
tagonism was shown by the fact that
while Taft carried the state by over
A, 900 plurality, Lilley had slightly
less thai 10000. The present inquiry,
should it reach The stage to taking OF
evidence, is expected to go ack into
the canvass for nomination In the
spring and summer.
The campaign expenses OF Mr.. Lii
ley were returned in a certificate to-
the secretary of state at $23, 600, those
of Judge Robertson, democratic nom
inee for governor, at $4,000, while
the anti-Lilley republicans spent over

ganization as wide in it's scope as the
International tuberculosis congress

TREE
CUSTOM UPHELD BY
FOREST SERVICE
Pinchot Sees No Way 4,oe0,-
600 Trees Can Be Used TO
Better Advantage.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The country'ss
forests again have been called upon to-
supply about 4,000,0 900 Christmas trees
and again many persons have asked
themselves and lave queried the
United States forest service, lis the
custom a menace TO the movement for
forest preserVation?
In the millions of happy homes over
the country where the younger genera
ton has made the Christmas tree the
center of play since early Friday
morning, there are many mothers and
fathers who nave given the question
more or less thought. From Sunday
schools and other organizations also.
which hold an annual celebration
around q gayly trimmed evergreen
for the benefit Of the little ones, has
come the question whether IL is IN
sistent to urge conservation of forest
u and then to cut millions Of
young trees every year to afford a.
little joy In the passing holiday sea-
son.
They're for Use.
Eyes, It is consistent and proper
that the custom should be maintained"
has beer the answer of United States,
Forester Clifford Pinchot in every case.
Trees are for use, and there is no
other use to which they could be put
which would contribute so much to-,
the JOY Of man as their use by he
children on this one great holiday Of
the year.
The number OF trees cut for this
use each year Is utterly Insignificant
when compared to the consumption for
other purposes for which timber is
demanded. Not more than 1890, 900
Christmas trees are used ach year..
in every fourth family. II planted
four feet apart they could be grown
on less than 1900 acres. This clear
ing Of an area equal to a good sized
farm each Christmas should not be a
subject OF much worry, when 1t iS
remembered that for lumber alene it.
Is necessary to take timber from an
area Of more than 100000 acres every
day Of the year"
