ty for nearly IA years and is one Of the

As preliminary to the annual meeting.
the sheriffs gathered at the Sherwood
Thursday evening and listened to a time
ly and interesting address by United
States District Attorney v. A. Builard of
this city on the relation of the federal
revenue agents to the sheriffs and other
officers Of the law In the county and
State. This is a matter which has caused
the sheriffs some concern since the new
prohibition laws came into effect and fed
eral officers have come into the State to
such an extent to enforce the laws against
smuggling liquor into the United States
from Canada. District Attorney Billiard
explained that it Is the duty of the fed
eral agent to see that the law Is enforced
and that violations of the law are prose-
cuted, and that the sheriffs and other Of
ficers of the county and State are bound
to assist the federal officers in this work
though not directly responsible for It. The
sheriffs are responsible for the infringe
ment of any liquor law within the State

HAD KAISER'S PICTURE
Former German Sailor Arrested While
Trying 10 Walk into United states

Heinrich Scheiken an enemy alien and
a former German sailor is now in the
Newport jail. where he was placed by
the United States immigration officers

the United States on the highway. He is
also wanted at Joliet Dllinois) peniten-

was found to have a picture of the
Kaiser and the Kaiser's family with him
He also had other papers which dis
closed the fact he was a German. At
first he was non-committal but through
the action of the immigration officers he
was induced to tell his whole history.
II appears that the man had been a
sailor and left his ship in New York sew
eral years ago and went westward to
work When in Illinois in 1915 he was con-
victed of rape and was sentenced to 70
years in prison. Last October he was
released on parole and was allowed TO
work for a leather concern. AS soon as
he had saved enough money he skipped
out TO Canada.
When an enemy alien makes applica-
ton for a permit to enter the country
he must give a list of his employers since
January |, 1914. and Scheilten was asked
to do this. He said he could not remem-
Der who they were as he had worked at
various Jobs. He would disclose no other
facts until told by James Ford. immigra-
ton officer that he would stay In Jail IL
it was for life IL he didn't come across
with the truth On due reflection
Scheiken made a clean breast OF 1t all
Deportation papers will now be issued
and then he will be eventually turned
over to the Illinois authorities who will
require him to finish his sentence. He Ia

KNOW ALL ABOUT WEATHER
Animals, In the CONSTRUCTION Of Their
Houses, Show They Can Fore
tell the Seasons.

The weather man has co-partners
in the prediction Of bad season in
the wild animals who qualify as
weather prophets for the experienced
out-Of-doors man.
"Trappers believe firmly in the abil-
ity Of wild animals to forecast wealth
err conditions" says the Hunter-Trad-
erTrapper, published in Columbus, O.
1.-THE type Of house which the musk
rat builds for the season indicates the
kind of weather he expects. When
the muskrats build large houses, with
thicker walls, cold winter is to be
expected. If the houses are made un.
usually high, much snow and high wa
ter will come.
"Just before storm, all animals
are unusually active and travel fast
and far. Even human beings notice
a difference in their feelings just be-
fore storm, especially II they are
troubled with rheumatism or other all
ments Of a like nature.
ut is reasonable that nature has
provided animals with a sixth sense
for forecasting weather conditions
which mean SO much to them"
