aged &c years, lived the life of a
hermit on a farm near Kewanee. He
dared not go to town. he read no
Newspapers. he did his own laundry
work, cooked for himself, and was
in complete seclusion from the out
eide world.
Since he dared not 20 to town,
nor was ever in communication
with any persons acquainted with

nothing of this nations participa-
ton in the world war. He never
heard of the Red Cross. nor Liberty
bonds, nor thrift stamps, he says.
Several days ago he by chance
learned of the war, and decided 10
enlist. He came to Rock Island,
and bumped into the United States
marshal when he attempted to join
the marines. He was Immediately
taken into custody. not only for de-
sertion, but for failure to register,
When faced with the facts he
readily declared his willingness TO
join the army.
He was accommodated. lie was
registered. his QUESTIONABLE filled
out. and Saturday afternoon he was
sent to Camp Grant as a soldier or
the national army.
In his statement to the authori-
ties Thatcher said that he enlisted
in the navy three years ago, was as
signed to the battleship Nevada, and
that he deserted the craft at Nor
folk. Va.
He came to this section of the
country, hoping to evade detection,
secured employment on farm near
Kewanee, where he resided by him
self in a little house. He never
went to town, near read the news
papers nor communicated with any
one with information of the hap
penings of the world.

SERVES A TERM;
GIVEN ANOTHER

On the day of release from serv-
ing a sentence in the county jail, to
be recommitted for an additional
term of 60 days, offers a fitting
theme for one of Briggs famous
When a Teller Needs a Friend"
Caricature series.
Such was the experience of Earl
Bobbs, who this morning was TAX
en- from the Jail and sentenced to
so days added servitude on a
charge of making away with an
automobile belonging to H. C. Stahl
and J. f. Hoogner, Moline men.
The theft was committed a month
ago, when Bobbs, in company with
a companion. purloined the ma
chine. He was under court parole
at the time and was given a month S
sentence by County Judge Nels A.
Larson for violating it. The theft
of the car was held against him by
the Moliners, and upon his release
they brought him into court Bobbs
pleaded guilty.
