BUTCHERED CALVES
in WADSWORTH FIELD

The hides and carcasses Of two Hol-
stein calves, about five and six months
old respectively, were found on the
Judge Pardee farm in Wadsworth
township on Thursday of last week.
Sheriff Bigelow was notified and
has yaiIily tried to identify the. owFiiia-
ers Of the animals or the ones who
destroyed them.
It is thought that the latter stole
and butchered the calves for market,
and believing themselves discovered,
hurridly cast the carcasses in the field
and escaped.

VICTIM OF MEAT SWINDLE
"Inside" Forgery Job Cheated Famous
Prison Of Sing Sing. New York,
Out Of $500.

OsSlning, n. Y.-Sing Sing prison
has been robbed. The state has been
cheated out of $1,000. 1t was an "in-
side" job.
The trick was turned a few days
before Warden Daniel ]. Grant took
Office. Convicts employed in the
prison central Office, working in con-
junction with an outside criminal, re-
ceived an invoice sheet purporting to
come from a firm dealing in woolen
supplies. 1t was made to- appear that
q cargo Of woolen material had been
received at the prison for the prison
factories. Convict clerks 20. KID"
vouchers to show the goods had been
received.
Vouchers were sent to the mythical
wool merchant at Newark, who duly
countersigned them and sent them
back to the prison to receive payment
for his goods" Two checks, aggre-
eating about $1,000, were sent to the
imposter. Prison attaches learned
eventually that the whole transaction
was fraud.
Last spring it was discovered
swindlers had got $500 by tricking
Warden Meyer into sending them

YOUNG MEN AND GOVERNMENT JOBS

Senator Smoot of Utah, in an ad-
dress in the senate on the joint reSo-
luton for the reclassification Of sal
arfes, had this to say, among other
things:
I'm my opinion those employees
were most unfortunate when they
landed in positions in the departments
Of our government. They ought to
have entered into affairs of everyday
life and business to battle for posi-
tions with their fellow men; but they
came here and entered one of the de:
partments, thinking that the govern
ment was at least safe and sure pay
master and would be as long as they
remained. A man is not in the gov
ernment service for many years, how
ever, before he becomes an absolute
machine; he loses confidence in him
self; he is fearful that if he loses his
job In Washington he can not make
