in which trade, aided by certain cops,
it is said, he became an expert and
made money.
Bertsche now turned to politics
and he was soon a power as a Demo-
cratic boss in the 23d Ward. He was
arrested in connection with the kill
ing of Gus Collander, an election
clerk, in a ballot steal.
In 1900 he was caught while at
tempting a daylight hOld-up in Paris
and was sentenced to eight years in
a French prison.
Upon being released from the for
eign cell, he returned to Chicago and
renewed his friendship with Busse
and prospered in the ownership of a
saloon on Randolph st.
About this time he was shot by
Paddy" Guerin, gUnman, in a sa-
loon duel
From then on he was quiet except
for few cafe fights, one Of which
was a battle with Arthur Greiner,
auto racer, in the Lambs Cafe.
In 1913 he was indicted for alleged
swindles of the "claiTvoyant trust"
and was convicted on Nov. 20, 1913.
A few days later he was indicted for
robbery. Bertsche is out on bonds
pending an appeal of the case.

few which did appear were easily dis.
posed of by the summer birds which
came to the locality. The trees in the

Entire Crop Lost.
Frank Mann, a pear grower of

tree pyslla had destroyed his entire
crop and that he thought there were
no prospects the following year, but
Nuthatches came and worked in aocks
in his orchard all winter and in the
spring he could find hardly an insect.
Thus these Nuthatches saved him
thousands of dollars in n winter.
In a recent bulletin it was stated
that the birds during their stay IN
Illinois each year destroy more than
three million e, 900, OOO) bushels of

Hazel Altman Writes to Her
Jefferson S~chOOlmates:
Tells of Her Trip

Dear Juniors: AS l haven't written
for a long time I thought would like
to write to my schoolmates Of the
Jefferson school as l used to go there.
OF course we have all started back
to school,. l go to the Lincoln school
of Eldon, Iowa. I love to go to school.
| am in the sixth grade. My teachers
name Is Miss Swain. l like her very
much.
Well, dear schoolmates, I want to
tell you about my trip that I took this
summer. We went to Oklahoma, the
sixteenth of July and spent the remain
der of my vacation. I saw some won
derful sights.
saw centipedes. Some Of you don't
know what they are. They are great
long, flat worms with a thousand legs.
| tell you they are fierce looking
things. They have a very large round
body, with legs about two inches long.
They have a face like a pug dog. They
will stand up on those long legs and
come at you. I tell you I felt like
getting oIt of the way Of them. They
are covered with hair like a little Rat
terrier dog. We saw some very large
snakes.
My greatest sight was the oil fields.
MY uncle put bows, and a wagon sheet
on his wagon and made a covered wag-
on, and took us to Drumrite to see
these oil fields. l tell you that was a
treat to me. Something I never did
before, was to take a trip in a covered
wagon.
Drumrite has the largest oil fields in
the world. We saw them drilling for
oil, casing up wells, and making tanks
to hold the oil. When they build tanks
they make a levee around the tanks.
so if the lightning strikes one of them
the oil won't run all over the land.
We rode over a little culvert where
there was a we'll near the road, and the
oil was running out into a creek. 1t
will divide the water, and run right
along in the center. Then when they
have a place for it they can pump it
out of the water. We dipped up a bot
tie of oil out of this creek and brought
home.
An automobile went across this
creek. one evening, just as it was get
ting dark. They struck a match, to
light their lamps and the gas had
formed so thick in this low place that
they were all burned to death. It is
very dangerous.
We went by one place where the
lady was washing with natural gas,
in her back yard. She had an
old boiler with the bottom out, turned
this gas pipe and then had her good
boiler on top Of this and the blaze was
out all around the top of this
old boiler.
We saw them pumping oil and also
the s%elf-lowing wells.
We enjoyed our trip very much. We
were on the road two days and one
nisht.
We went through a storm and came
back through an awful storm.
Well as my letter is getting long, l
will close hoping some of my school.
will answer.
/ think I will be in Ottumwa next
Saturday.
l remain. and hope to be your school
in another year.
Yours respectfully.
