In seeking TO send our committee

FAKE JEWELLERS In S1.640
THEFT.
Swindled Iowa City Man Out Of
Savings,

Iowa City, Ia.-Louis Reiner, q
Pole of this city, was defrauded out
of $1,64O by two smooth confidence
men.
The heartbroken Reiner has been
in this country only seven years and
had saved the money to send for
his wife and seven children in Po-
land, who are slowly starving to
death.
Two strangers accosted the Pole
yesterday and persuaded him to
spend his savings on some imita-
ton jewelry. He was given the
jewelry as security for his money
by one of the strangers, who
claimed to be prominent Cedar
Rapids jeweler, temporarily out Of
funds.
Reiner did not gather courage to
tell of the swindle until today.

A Snake Fight.

Washington, Ia.-Encounters be-

and few have been witnessed, but
Clyde Everhart and Harry Young
report having witnessed a fight be
tween two good sized bull snakes
near old Cafbonado one day last
week. The boys, on foot in the road,
were attracted by the strange
threshing about of the grass by the
roadside, but before they could in
vestigate, out tumbled a great ball
of snake formation into the ditch by
the roadside. The snakes writhed and
twisted and coiled about each other
and each was evidently trying to
swallow the other fellow. Presence
OF the two boys did not appear to
modest the combatants, so intent
were they upon their struggle. Both
were making peculiar noise between
a hiss and whistle. The lads watch
ed the fight along the roadway and
in the weeds and grass for possibly
q half hour before they killed the
replies. They were between three and
four feet long.

Artificial Eyes in Demand.

One of the odd trades of Birming-
ham is that of artificial eye-making,
says the London Daily Mail. It has
never been more thriving than now.
Some makers have three months work
ahead. The war added to the de-
mand, and there are thousands of ex-
service men who can not possibly be
supplied for considerable time. The
variety of artificial eyes Is surprising.
They differ In the size of the iris.
shape and the color of the white"
No two eyes are alike, and the artif-
clal eye has to match the remaining
one, a matter of nice Judgment. For
merly the Germans competed in the
