Hans Anderson Is Robbed
While He Was Asleep
SON AS HIS FIRST AID
He Took Part of the Fathers
Money and Watch For
Safekeeping

Hans Anderson, living in rear
room on the third floor of 304 South
Front street, reported to the police
last night that he was robbed in his
room while asleep last evening some
time between four and ten o'clock
yesterday. He exhibited one side
been evidently slashed with knife
by the thief. Anderson admitted that
he had been drinking before lying
down shortly after four o'clock. When
he awoke, he found that about $35
in bill and a gold watch, and four
dollars in small change and nickle
watch had been taken from him. He
stated to Night Sergeant Burrill
that his son Theodore worked as a
cook in the Kato restaurant.
Son Had Part of the Money.
Sergeant Burrill looked up the son
and had him come over to the sta
that seeing the condition his father
was in he took the $35 and the gold
watch from him for safe keeping.
This he turned over to the police.
but stated that he had not removed
the nickle watch nor the small
change from his fathers pockets.
He did not cut the pockets to remove
what ne had taken. He did state TO
the officers, however, that two local
young men were in his fathers rooms
during the evening.
Mr.. Anderson stated to the police
this morning that he was holding the
nickle watch as security on a loan
made to friend. the owner Of the
time piece. Also the other watch
was held as security for loan.
Night Sergeant Burriil last night
required Anderson to pu $40 bond
for his, appearance at two O'Clock
this afternoon
When Anderson discovered that
his hip pocket had been slashed he
remarked that "some one may have
thought that he had something on his
hip"
Anderson appeared to be more
concerned about the condition of his
slashed pants than he did Of the
loss OF the money.

Prophets Characteristics Last Days
World Being Fulfilled Says Pastor.


Minneapolis, September 27.-The
Rev. w. B. Riley, pastor of the First
Baptist church, Minneapolis, declared
the prophecies setting forth charac-

were being rapidly fulfilled. DIR.
Riley spoke before the Northwestern
Bible Conference and he stressed
how the prophets Of old foretold
events occurring these days with
unfailing accuracy. s
"The characteristics Of the last
days described in the Bible are
wars, rumors Of wars, famine, pesti-
Hence. earthquakes, disobedience to
parents, disregard Of law, false
prophets, false philosophers, false
Christs and so forth. 1t is doubtful
if any preceding century has seen
such convergence of fulfilling
prophecy as the twentieth, " said Dr.
