For the first time in the history Of
our Sauerkraut day the occasion was
married by sneak thieves who went
thru the pockets oe the morning crowd
and gathered in several hundred dol
lars. The first one to give the alarm
was Matt Bangasser who found that
he had been relieved of about $50. The
thief was holder in this case and was
later taken into custody and identified
by Mr.. Bangasser and is now lodged in
the Jail at Eldora. He had but $32
in his possession but the superstition
: is that he had accomplices to whom he
had handed over the other money.
, Those who had their pockets rfled Of
considerable sums were G. Van Heiden
who lost $40, j. Alderman. OF Apling

Presence of mind in the face of death
no doubt saved the lives of Chris
Englebert, prominent stock buyer of
Conroy, and Mrs. Englebert, or pre-
vented their serious injury early Fri
day morning. In their automobile they
had started for a tour in Minnesota,
and when a short distance south Of
Fairfax, Mr.. Englebert became sud
denly aware that something was sad
ly amiss. He explained several hours
later that he thought his car was
skidding and, shutting off the power,
asked Mrs. Englebert to alight and as
certain what was wrong. No sooner
had she left the car when Mr.. Engle-
bert collapsed from what she thought
a fatal stroke Of apoplexy. Alone on
the road, with no house near, and near
prostration from alarm and grief, Mrs.
Englebert could only wait for chance
assistance. 1t came in the persons OF
two strangers, who towed the car with
it's stricken driver to Fairfax Mr..
Englebert was carried into the home
of E. H. Knickerbocker and medical
aid was summoned. It is believed he

Councilman Rudolph Beerend has
announced the schedules for the 1916
tax levy, which will be acted on by the
council at it's regular meeting tomor-
row The tota! levy FOR mex: year vii,
be 40.4 mills. This exceeds the old
levy Of the present year by 80 mills.
The estimated receipts will be $3.50, $50.
Under the new schedule as arranged
by Councilman Beerend, a new fund is
created which will be designated the
sanitary district fund. This new de-
partment will care for the gathering
Of the garbage, sprinkling Of the
streets and other duties attendant upon
such work. The levy for this fund will
be mills. It Is estimated that TIE re-
ceipts from this levy will amount to
$4,000. On account Of the discon-
tinuance of the saloon license receipts
wit hthe coming Of state prohibition
Jan. /, the revenues will be cut down
over $4,000. This loss will necessitate
drastic curtailment OF expenses, Coun-
Gilman Beerend declared. The other
levies remain practically the same as
in the past. In several instances the
levies have been increased while in
other funds the levies are less.
