Captain CIausen and Aides
Walk in Upon Barber
in Burglar Act.
CITY SNOW SHOVELER
Police Tipped Off by Two Men
Who Heard the Crash of
Broken Glass.

1t was a case of a man biting the
hand which fed him when William
Barber, 45, of 1859 Tanck avenue, was
arrested by the police at $3.50 o'clock
Friday night when he was caught red
handed in the house of the Misses
Bond at 419 Prairie avenue, which he
had robbed. Barber told the police
that he ad been employed by the city,
and during the winter had shoveled
snow.
Hears Crashing Glass.
The tip that brought the police to
the home of the Misses Bond just in
the nick of time came from two young
men, Andrew Redeem and Arthur. Ham
melev. They CHANGED to pass the Bond
house about 9:25 p. m. and heard the,
sound of glass tinkling as if win
dow had been smashed. They immedi-
ately reported the matter to the po-
lice, telling just what had been heard.
Captain, Claussen together with Of
ficers Clifford and Buchanan went i'm
mediately to the address given. Buch-
man was left on guard without,
while the captain and Clifford
up on the south porch. There, they
found that the glass in the door
had been broken, and the door opened
with key which had been left in the
lock inside.
Find Thief in Kitchen.
The two police officers crept softly
into the house and proceeded from
room to room with guns in their
hands. In the kitchen they came upon
the burglar, William Barber. Barber
threw up his hnads on the orders of
the captain, and was taken to the po-
lice station. He carried large screw
driver and pair of pliers, and all the
loot he had on his person consisted of
seventy-fve cents which he said he
had stolen from the writing desk in
the Bond house.
Barber had not had much time to
work between the interval in which the
police were notified and their arrival
on the scene. He had used matches in
making his search and due to the fact
that the Bond house has been entered
before, there were no valuables to take.
Held on Charge of Burglary.
The man told the police that in
working as a snow shoveler for the
city, he had cleared the sidewalks
about the Bond house and knew that
the people were away for the winter.
Barber has been booked at the po-
lice office on the charge of burglary
but will not be arraigned this morning
as the police wish to question him
further. 1t is thought that he may
have been responsible for some of the
other minor housekeeping affairs
which have been taking place during
the last week

HERMI'F'S WIFE

Smith, RecIuse.
BIG ESTATE INVOLVED

One of the "secret romances" of THE
history of Kenosha county was brought
into the courts today when letters
of administration for the estate of
Henry T. Smith, the Hermit of
Salem" were filed, indicating that an
effort was being made to find the wife
Of the deceased, who years ago OBJ
tanned divorce from him and then
disappeared. 1t is claimed that no
settlement of the estate can be made
until this angle of the case is cleared
up and for this reason, the court was
asked to name an administrator.
Joseph N. Funck, who for several
years has been guardian of the prop
erty of the hermit, while the latter
was in the Racine county asylum
where he died, was named as the
administrator The estate is worth
in excess of $4,000

eve have not as yet been able to
find out any definite information re-
garding the woman who was once the
wife of the deceased" declared Attor-
ney G. A. Mittelstaed, who fled the
request for the appointment of an ad-
ministrator. "People who lived in the
community and some of the relatives
remember that he was married for
only a short time and was then di-
vorced. The wife returned to her
home in the east and according to
some reports was married again.
Whether she is now living or dead has
not been learned"
1t was stated that under certain con-
ditions the wife, even though divorced,
would have a right to share in the
estate and that every possibility of
finding her must be exhausted before
the estate could be divided among the
other heirs.
It is known that the deceased left
two cousins in California and several
other relatives even farther removed
in other states in the far west. It is
anticipated that there will be legal
battle for the fortune left by the
hermit.

LOCAL MEN TO
JOIN INSTITUTE
Prominent Men to Join
American Institute of
Agriculture.
TO AID FARMERS

A number of local men have been
proposed for membership in the AM
erican Institute of Agriculture, Chi
cago, national organization for train
ing farmers and those interested in
promoting agriculture, on the princi-
pies and best methods in the market
ing of farm products. Some of those
recommended are:
Will Van Liere, Bristol, farmer; H.
B. Gaines, Bristol, dealer; George Vim
cent, Genoa Junction, dairyman;
Charles Curtis, Salem, farm owner;
W. C. Bacon, Bristol, farm owner; Tai
ford Powell, Pleasant Prairie, secre-
tary of Milk Producers; Jay Edwards,

sett, farmer; John Herzog, Somers,
farm owner; Matt Rasmussen, Somers,

for membership, and application may
be made direct to the American Insti-
tute of Agriculture, S26 Madison

The institute is working with state
marketing officials, the college of ag-
rieulture, county agent, farm bureaus,
oranges, and various farmers associ-
ations to train suitable men for the
many marketing jobs which are now
opening up in this and other states.
1t also aims to teach farmers how to
market their crops to better advan-
tage, and to promote general prosper
ity of the community. More than a
hundred national authorities on the
marketing of farm products contribute
to the training, which is given by a
system of home study. The director
of the institute is George Livingston,
formerly chief of the U. S. Bureau of
Markets, and among the members of
the advisory council are j. R. How
ard, president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, and s. J. Lowell,
master of the National Grange.
The institute plans to limit it's
training this year to only 1000 men in
the entire United States. Certain men
who show most interest will be chosen
from each county, or community.

How tho Exchange Works
The idea Is worked out as fol-
lows:
Any farmer in the state who has
any grade or pure bred livestock
for sale can step into the bank
where he does his banking bust
ness, and, on blanks furnished to
the bank, can list what he has to
offer, giving the number. age, color,
records, price, etc. Any farmer, on
the other hand, who wishes to pur-
chase a horse or cow, or even a
carload Of stock, can notify his
banker of the kind and number OF
stock he wishes These listings are
sent to central office. where the
prospective purchaser Is put In
touch with the listings OF stock for
sale that come nearest to meeting
his requirements, and which are
situated as close as possible to his
locality.
With the development Of the
work Of the Exchange. We found
that there was large number of
inquiries coming in for carload
lots of improved dairy cattle. In
order to handle these buyers eff
GENTLY, it was necessary to secure
reliable field men. This was done
by getting in touch with local
banks and having the banker rec
ommend a reliable man who was a
good Judge of stock, who was well
acquainted with the farmers and
commanded their respect, and who
was in a position to meet buyers
with his automobile and take them
from farm to farm, show them the
stock that was for sale, and, when
found satisfactory by the buyer
help in assembling, testing and
shipping.
The Services of Field Men
These field men are expected to
keep posted on the livestock for
sale in their respective commu-
mites. They are to steer the
buyers away from herds that
are known to be affected with tu'
berculosis, or that have conta-
gious abortion. In other words
these field men are expected to
