rst Baptist Pastor
Resigns Because of
Cards, Dancing Ban

Chicago, Dec. 20.-The Rev.
Frank E. Miller, pastor of the First
Baptist church, does not believe in
the ban the church has placed on
card playing, theater going and
dancing. Because of his changing
views he announces that he has re-
signed his pastorate.
There have been no dissensions
between myself and the board of
moderators," he said, but my
changing views in regard to the
church in general has led me to be-
lleve it is time for me to quit the
ministry for another vocation"
His resignation will become eff
fective with his last sermon on
January 80, although the board has
not yet acted on it.
II cannot bring myself to think
that because man plays cards,
dances and goes to the theater. that
he is a pagan and that if he does
rot do any OF those things he is a
Christian"

Loot From Mail
Robbery Found
At Hemingford
Letters and Metal From Burnt
Pouch Establish Proof of
Theft-Bandits Sought ;
By Officers.

Alliance, Neb., Dec. 20.-(Special
Telegram. Proof that sack oi
mail, which mysteriously disap.
peared from Burlington train No. Al
at Hetningford about two weeks
ago, was stolen has been established
through the finding by Fireman
Pindy of Alliance of package OF
about Is letters and several black
ened pieces of metal which were a
part of the mail sack.
The letters and metal were found
about 40 rods east of the Heming-
ford station when Fireman Pindy no.
ticed a small pile of ashes near the
track. Investigation disclosed that
the letters were part of the missing
mail and that the blackened pieces
of metal were part of a mail pounch
which had been burned at this spot.
Much excitement was caused here
at the time of the disappearance OF
the pouch by the report that the
train had been held up and robbed
just this side of Hemingford. The
agent at Hemingford was reported
to have stated that he was positive
that the pouch was thrown off as
usual at Hemingford and that some
one had stolen it shortly afterward
The letters found in the package
were mostly circular letters and
were said 70 be of little value.
Federal agents and local Burling-
ton officials who had almost given
up hope of tracing the missing
pouch, have renewed their efforts to
run down the robbers. The find
ing Of the letters and parts of the
pouch is the first positive clue the
officers have had that a robbery
was committed. Two suspects, M.
B. Boyd and John Proroski Of Oma-
ha, were arrested here two days af-
ter the mail pouch disappeared, but
were released when investigation
failed to connect them with the
robbery.
