INTRUDER IN ROOM.
About midnight, however, the disci-
pie of Rip Van Wrinkle stirred un.
easily in his slumbers and finally
awoke with a start, being possessed
of vague premonition that some one
was in his room. His fears were
realized, for some one was stealthily
feeling along the bed, probably in an
effort to locate his valuatles which
had been slowed away beneath the pill
low. The thoroughly frightened guest
was in a quandry, for he confidently
expected that should he make an out
cry for assistance, the desperate
would lombard him into the celestial
realm of numerous palatial dwellings

CHARLES FIEBIC
LEAVES HARNESS
Veteran Locksmith, after Near
ly Forty Years Of Work
Announces Retirement.
TWO SONS ARE IN CHARGE
Frank F. and Otto E. To Follow
Business Built Up BY
Their Father.
TWO SONS ARE IN CHARGE

Charles Fiebig. veteran, expert lock-
smith, whose name Is known all over
the country by reason Of his unbafied
skill in opening safes, has retired
from active business. In conversation
In The Argus office, Mr.. Fiebig an
nounced his intention Of turning his
business over to his two sons, Frank
F. and Otto E. Fiebig. Advancing years
Is the main cause of his retirement.
The veteran will spend the remainder
of his life. which 1t is hoped will be
long one, in enjoying the pleasures
which earnest application to work has
prevented in past years.
FASCINATION LINGERs.
The fascination for his wonderful
work, which incidentally has made him
the master he is, still fingers in him
and he admits that in all probability
II an unusually hard job arises which
proves a tartar for his sons, he will
get back into harness long enough to
turn the trick. However. it has ceas-
ed to be matter of business and has
become one of pleasure to him.
For nearly 40 years, Mr.. Fiebig has
been in business as an expert lock-
smith and safe opener and his many
experiences, most of which were
chronicled at the time in The Argus,
have been varied and interesting, in
deed. He has often been pressed to
write a book on his experiences but
beyond permitting the publishing oil
few short stories at intervals, he
!, could never be made to realize how
extremely interesting has been his
, career.
SOUTH FOR THE WINTER.
Mr.. Fiebig, together with his wife
will spend the coming winter in tht
south, leaving here shortly after tn,
holidays. Following his usual custom
4 he will write descriptions OF the Gul
country for The Argus while away. H,
will return early in the spring an,
then will go into camp at Big ISLAM
Oh Rock river where he has a sum
nler establishment near Gitchee Gume
bungalow. He is a lover of outdoo
life and intends to indulge his taste
along that line
SONS IN CHARGE NOW.
Frank F. Fiebig and Otto E. Fiebi
who take over the business establish
J. ed by their father, are we'll fitted t
follow in his footsteps AS soon a
they reached an age which permitted
Mr.. Fiebig began training the boys i
the art of which he is possibly tn
greatest master that the world ha
] ever known. Both were apt pupil
and can be counted as experts thong
neither has as yet attained the Or,
u ficiency Of their father. With his al
and counsel. however, they are secon
to none of the experts who are know
here. They will continue in bushes
under the firm name as 1t has alway
d been in the past-Charles Fiebig, E

TOYS ARE Donated.
Leroy Mace, local manager of the
Woolworth five and ten cent store
has given a huge box of toys to th<
committee for distribution among the
children who are to be cared for by
