FISHERMAN ROBBED
OF HIS SAVINGS
Fred Berg Loses 1925 of His
Horde Home Talent"
Responsible.
Especial to THE TIMES,

East Chicago, jan 6.-Some one took
advantage of Fred Berg, 1.-The fisher
man., who conducts a fishing camp
near the interurban bridge on the
banks of the Calumet river recently.
and robbed him of his entire horde.
consisting of 1925. The money was
kept in a tin safe and was not missed
until a few days ago. No report of
the robbery was made to the police
Berg is a we'll known character along
the river front and is known either
personally, or by reputation, to almost
everybody in Northern Lake county.
Many fish fry has been held at his
camp and Fred was the boy who knew
how to prepare the finny tribe in a
maner fit to tempt the appetite of the
most ardent observer of the restric-
lions of Friday. Like many another
fisherman, however, Fred has a falling
which has lost him more than the 1925
of which he was robbed SO recently.
He occasionally take drop too much.
and, it is said. he had been drinking
when his money. together with the box
in which it was kept, disappeared.
Looks Like Home Talent.
The old man himself has no idea as
to who robbed him, but 1t is believed
to have been home talent" This is the
second robbery that has come to LIGHT
in this locality this week A few
nights ago some one broke into the of
flee of the new Cudahy plant and stole
an assortment of surveyors and en-
gineers' instruments. Berg's fishing
camp is located on the same tract of
land as the Cudahy plant occupies.
and there is q supposition that there
may have been some connection be-
tween the two robberies.
Bergs son. who conducts the same
kind of establishment in Robertsdale
as does his father, has taken the old
man to his place for the time being.

carrier. Both work in the open air and
both have stunt of walking to per-
form every day. The suggestion is
made that the letter-carrier is com

ground that has an important bearing
upon his health and his spirits The
policeman saunters, without knowing
when or where active duty lies in wait
for him. This circumstance, rather
than his alleged habit Of taking free
lunches along the way accounts for his

There is much that might be said in

The opposition to Mr.. Kennedy, as
/ represented By the Washington coun-

things: First, the proposition that
the house should select the members
OF the committee on rules, md, sec

for Mr. Cannon for speaker after the

Evangelist Packard of Boston says
that "churches which advertise and
then deliver the goods when the peo-
pie come after them will get the bust
ness," and the National Printer Jour-
nalist, commenting on this, remarks:
"There is certainly nothing irrever-
ent, impious or sacrilegious in turn
ing the attention of men and women
to anything that. is worthy, beneficial
or tending to the higher life of SER
vice, purity and of moral and spirit,
ual we'll being and upbuilding." The
Union comedies with this. It is
demonstrated daily that the firm
which advertises and delivers the
goods as advertised obtains the bust
ness, and there is no obvious reason
why the same rule should not apply
to the church. r

THE PUMA AND ITS PREY.
Ease With Which a Patagonian Lion
Killed Colt

Ease With Which a Patagonian Lion
Killed a Colt.
The puma is so fond of horsefesh
that in Patagonia it is difficult to
breed horses as the colts are killed by
this American lion. A native told the
author of 1.-THE Naturalist In La
Plata" that on one occasion while
driving his horses home through a
thicket puma sprang out of the
bushes to the back Of colt following
behind the troop.
The puma alighted directly on the
colts back, with one fore foot grasping
its shoulder, willie with the other it
seized the head and, giving it a violent
wrench, dislocated the neck. The colt
fell to the earth as if shot,
Next to horsefesh, the puma prefers
mutton. He does not like veal, al
though he will kill calf upon occa-
sion. a cunning puma which on cloudy
nights raided a sheep ranch used as q
place Of concealment the pen where a
dozen calves were kept while it was
waiting to attack the sheep, but it did
S1OL 1IlJdiC d GILL.
Pigs when in large herds defy the
puma by massing themselves together
and presenting serried line Of tusks
The ass also resists successfully the
puma's attack. When assaulted it
thrusts it's head between it's fore legs
and kicks violently until the puma is
driven or thrown off.
One day an Indian while riding saw
young COW watching his approach.
Her manner showed that it was in a
state Of dangerous excitement, and the
Indian conjectured that some beast of
prey had killed it's calf. He began
searching for the calf's body. While
thus engaged the COW repeatedly
charged him. Presently he discovered
the calf lying dead among the long
grass and by its side dead puma with
large wound just behind the Shout
der.
The calf had been killed by the
puma, for its throat showed the
wounds of large teeth. The COW had
driven one of it's long, sharp horns into
the puma's side while it was sucking
the calf's blood.

Daniel r. Keefe, the commissioner

Daniel r. Keefe, the commissioner
general of immigration, in his annual
report urges that the laws governing
the entrance of aliens into this
country be strengthened at their weak
points so that their better enforcement
may be made possible. He recon-
mends, among other things, an in
crease Of the penalty imposed on
steamship companies for. taking on
board dangerously diseased aliens,
the extension of the contract labor
provisions to forbid and penalize
an inducement of immigration by
false as we'll as genuine promises of
employment, and the penalizing of
any attempt to import foreign
laborers. These are recommended
tions which congress should lose no
time in adopting The country is
jeopardized by weak immigration
laws.

1t is TO be hoped that much good to
northern Minnesota will result from
the Bemidji convention. Thirty coun-
ties we're represented in that conven-
ton. 1t was thoroughly representa-
tive assemblage and the resolutions
and recommendations adopted should
carry much weight. The proceedings
throughout were harmonious and en-
thusiastic. The people of northern
Minnesota want square deal and
that they will insist upon having.
First, they will demand the represen-
tation they are entitled to in the legis-
lature at the next session, in accord
ance with the spirit and letter of the
constitution; secondly, they will insist
upon the state contributing its share
towards the Improvement and enhance
ment inv value of it's own property:
thirdly, a square deal for the settlers.
These demands are reasonable and
should be acquiesced in by the people
of the entire state.
