TO CHURCH TO STEAL
Prisoner Is Rated by Philadelphia
Judge as Meanest Kind
of Thief.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Joseph Waters

shippers in ST. Johns Catholic church,
on Thirteenth street, above Chestnut,
and Judge Kinsey sentenced him to
the Huntingdon reformatory.
This fellow is the meanest kind Of

to the plea of Attorney C. S. Patter-
son, Jr., for leniency, Ito go into a
church and steal purses while the
owners are bowed in worship"
Waters, who has been in court on a
variety of charges, but never before
convicted, went to the church and, en-

Bunyan was of poor parentage, his
father being tinker. At one time
Bunyan was in the parliamentary
army, and in 1645 was a prisoner at
the siege of Leicester. Having left
the army he married, then after a
time of great spiritual anxiety and
doubt, with quieter intervals, he be-
came a member and then a minister
of the Baptist congregation at Bed
ford. His labors were stopped by the
act of conventicles and Bunyan was
q prisoner in Bedford Jail for twelve
years. While in prison Bunyan assist

lily by making tagged laces. The only
books he had during his confinement

OLD CASE RE-OPENED.

An old law case that has attracted
considerable public attention was re-
opened on Monday when notice of
appeal was filed in the court house
here in the case Of Kappa VS.. Le-
Vistik.
Although the actual sum involved
is less than 1925 the legal cost in
Cured up to the present time is al
most double this aud the appeal of
the action to the supreme court will
greatly increase the amount already
spent.
Three years ago Paul Levistik
hired Luka Kappa to saw, pile and
stack 500 cords of wood at SOC a
cord. Kappa bought a machine and
started work for the purpose and re-
ceived some money from time to
time.
Paul claimed later that Kappa had
only cut a portion of the wood and
had only stacked a very small pro-
portion and that $50 cords were
short, and later hired two additional
men to finish the work. Kappa later
assigned his claim to Culver & Co.
of Chisholm and afterwards the case
was fought out in the municipal
court of Chisholm and appealed to
the district court This action was
settled and then Kappa started &C
ton in the municipal court. again
and once more appealed to the dis
trict court and now it has been APP
pealed further to the supreme court.
Arnold & Pickering have been at
torneys for Paul Levistik for the

WANT COURT TO STOP
TRESPASSING ON LAND.


Adam Nissinen and his wife and
eight children are very troublesome
and quarrelsome says Louis Anthony
who lives in the Little Fork country.
Louis claims that the whole fam
lily cross his land and trample down
his crops, call him vile and imprint
able names, tear down his fences and
generally make themselves very dis
agreeable and he wants the court to
issue an order restraining them from
tresspassing upon his land now and
for ever more amen.
Louis is farmer and he says that
there are plenty of good roads
around where he is and that he
wants to live in peace and not be
disturbed by the raucous voices and
screaming shouts of the eight chill
dren. He AYERS that he has built
fences and posted notices, that he
had requested and implored, begged
and bullied, all to no purpose and
now he wants the court to take the
matter up for him and protect his
property and his nerves from the
troublesome neighbors which he
claims make his life burden.
The defendants have not yet put
in their answer and what they will
state in their reply is not yet known,
but it is said that they will claim an
equally quarrelsome disposition on
the part of the farmer.

Old lIfe-Savicq Station.

out and located on the edge of a lake,
which was created for this purpose.
and demonstrations of life.saving
methods and devices were given there
at frequent intervals to throngs of
persons who had never seen such q
thing before.
At the close of the great show the
life-saving station and it's equipment
was sent to Cape May, where it did
yeoman service for many years, but
it was eventually displaced by more
commodious structure and improved
methods and apparatus. The present
equipment of the station is in sharp
contrast with that when the Centen-
NAL station was the pride of the
service. The boats were then light
that they might be easily handled,
but now they are heavy in order that
they may Withstand the surf's fury.
They were then propelled by oars
pulled by sturdy arms, but the boats
are now fitted with engines which will
drive them through towering waves.
And now the boats have holes in
the bottoms to let the water out, and
such suggestion a generation ago
would have been greeted with roars
of ridicule The crafts Of the present
time are almost incapable of being
sunk Buffeted by any sea, they will
right themselves at once and empty
themselves of water in few seconds.
The old Centennial life-saving sta
ton is resting on it's old glories. 1t
fulfllls no purpose at present. Its
roof shelters an old boat or two,
which are not likely to be ever called
into active service, and the house is
never likely to resound with lively
activities again.

reflector, was responsible for burns
which may prove fatal to Mrs. Min
ME Bulwinkle, caretaker of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church. She
lies at the point of death in St. Vim

Mrs. Bulwinkle was standing in
front of the church holding the re-
fector in her hand and idly watching
it's concentration of the suns rays
upon the thin material of her dress.
Suddenly there was a wisp of smoke
and in a moment her clothing was all
aflame. A policeman summoned by
her screams threw off his coat and
smothered the fire, but too late to
save her from serious injury.
