.SWoOP DOWN D ON
FARM N HOUSES IN
FAST MOTOR GAR.
LOAD EIGHT LARGE
ANIMALS IN TRUCK
Thief Drops Dazed Chickens
On Sanborn Farm.
Draws so Days.

| Utilizing modern methods Of trench
warfare, thieves are directing gas.
attacks against hogs and chickens Of
Brown and neighboring counties in
raids conducted under cover of dark
ness, according to information reach
ing county officials. The robbers
travel in either high powered auto
mobiles or trucks, swoop down onaa
farmhouse, gas the chickens or hogs,
load the victims, and disappear rapid
ly into the night. Even dogs, those
trusty guards on almost every farm,
are rendered helpless, by a squirt of
gas from which it takes them hours to
fully recover.
Gas Eight Hogs.
The last hog attack to be reported
to officers of the law was that on the
Vincent Zemler farm one mile east Of
Sleepy Eye when thieves, resorting
to. these tactics, seized eight fine hogs.
Mr.. Zemler was awakened in the
middle Of the night by the barking Of
his dogs but when he went outside
they were quiet. No sooner had he
returned to bed than he heard the
loud exhaust Of motor truck. Think
ing that it was nothing of Importance
he did not get up again. The neXt
morning he found that eight Of his
hogs were missing.
Rob Hector Farm.
The authorities believe that in this
case the hogs and dogs were both
gassed. In no other way can they
explain the dogs becoming suddenly
quiet and the success of the bandits
in, loading eight large hogs without
deafening squeals awakening Mr.. Zem-
Her and his family. While it is not
known what kind Of an Instrument
the robbers use to spread their gas
attack it is something which evident
| ly shoots the gas about the head Of the
animal SO that it is rendered uncon-
scious after a few breaths. A similar
theft to that staged at the Zemler
home was perpetrated on farm near
Hector a few days before.
Thief Gasses Chickens.
In the matter of stealing chickens
the authorities have evidence which
| is said to have been introduced at the
recent hearing Of Luverne p. McGoon,
Springfield telegraph operator, who
was sentenced by Judge I. NJ. Olsen at
the Redwood county district court, to
80 days in Jail for chicken stealing.
McGoon was caught at dusk with q
sack Of chickens under each arm On a
farm near Sanborn. The chickens were
in dazed condition from the effects
Of gas, according to reports reaching
the authorities, and it was several
hours before they showed signs Of life.
It was brought out at McGoon's
hearing that he had lived for a con-
siderable length Of time at Byron,
Olmstead county, where he was an
operator. He was then transferred
! to Sanborn and more recently to
Springfield. After he had taken up
his duties at Springfield his family
continued to live at Sanborn and he
drove back and forth.
McGoon Is Arrested.

tuberculosis is one Of the most
terrible Affections of mankind. No
other disease causes more deaths or
greater monetary loss. In the United
States alone 100000 persons a year
succumb to itssravages, according to
figures published by the National
tuberculosis association, New York
City. So greatsis its extent that one
tenth of all the persons who die in the
United States are it's victims while
one-fourth Of the deaths between the
ages of Is and! As are caused by it.
The total economic loss to the country
caused by it has been computed to be
over SOS, 200, 600, 900 for the present
generation. # 81
Sesls Support Campaign.
The plague fights from ambush and
although other plaques, ancient and
modern, have swept a country or
community for a few weeks, months
or years, tuberculosis has seized its
victims year after year for over $500
years. Children in particular are sus-
ceptible to infection and last year it
is estimated by medical authorities
that q 1000 children died of tubercu-
losis before they were five years old.
The combative work conducted a
gainst the disease by the National
tuberculosis Association and 1900
affiliated organizations, is supported
by the Sale Of Christmas seals.
That the campaign in Minnesota
against the White Plague has brought
astonishing results in the past ten
years is shown BY the statement Of
William F. Wild, M. D., executive
secretary Of the Minnesota Public
Health association. Doctor Wild as
|serts that in 1911, 119 persons out Of
every 100000 in the state died OF the
disease while in 1921, this figure had
been cut down to u out Of every
100000. As compared with 1911
Minnesota is now saving 972 lives
yearly.
Miss Erickson and her associates ii

The Restless Oceans.

ITO what extent did the great ocean
currents influence the migration
Of mankind from continent to CONT
nent in prehistoric times? The fact
that a current starting near Che
Malay peninsula. and passing the seas
Of China ano Japan. crosses the Pa
cihc to the western coast of the
United States Is regarded by some
as significant concerning the posi-
bility of Asiatics having reached
America by way of the Pacific ocean.
Other vast movements of the waters
of the sea. to which attention has
been called in connection with this
subject-one that has received much
study at the hands of the ethnolo-
gists-are the south Pacific current.
which flows from South America
toward the Polynesian Islands: the
middle Atlantic current. which, start
ing near Spain and the northern coast
Of Africa, reaches South America and
the West Indies, and the North At
lantic current, which sweeps along
our eastern seaboard and then crosses
over to the coasts of Europe.

at the tahlecloth and smiled.
The. stew at the Deene shooting

the old lady had always sent q cart

ANOTHER VICTIM
 OF LIGHT BULB
 COD. CON CAME

Burned out electric bulbs have found a ready market in Bridgeport according to reports made to police headquarters the past two days by storekeepers who have been swindled out of sums of money by a so-called delivery clerk.
 His plan is to enter a store, walk up to the clerk. and explain to him that the proprietor ordered a package sent c. O. D. He then gives the clerk the package. tells him there is a cer- tain amount due, generally about S5, and the unsuspecting clerk hands over the money to the bogus messenger.
 When the manager returns and Is told of the incident he opens the package to find it contains a couple of burned out electric bulbs.
 Already two local dealers have been victimized by this malicious schemer and although the police were on the alert yesterday in the hope that they might apprehend him, he managed to elude them

 Connors, Hartford center fielder, made a pretty catch in the second On a ball hit over his head he made a running leap for it, and after jug g1ing it managed to hold it.
 Wendt scooped what looked like a sure Hartford hit right out of the dirt in the same inning, and retired his man with fast throw:
 Umpire Ed Riley showed that he could juggle the ball with the best of them- He gave a clever exhibition, rolling the ball up his arm and around his shoulder on one occasion when the ball was thrown in from outside. O'Neil, the opposing pitcher used his head in the seventh. With the bases loaded he grabbed a ball hit to the pitchers box, and instead of talk Ing any chances, car1led the pail nome himself forcing a runner at the plate. Just for excitement. a regular gang crowded around the umpire when he called a balk on O'Nei1 in the eighth, but Ed showed 'em the good book, and there was nothing to it.

And the best part of it all was that our boys came through in the ninth with a regular Frank Merriweu finish.
