Snedai Dlapatcti to The Inter Oeeem, SPRINGFIELD. Dec 20. Suit to test the validity of the entire state live stock law probably will grow out of the Issuance of a proclamation against tbe importation of tuberculin cattle Into Illinois. At" jthe time the Governor Issued bis proclamation. In which stipulated the rtates from which no cattle after Jan 1914, would be accepted unless accompa-Bled by certificates -ot health," It was broadly hinted -that determined opposition to the movement would com from northern Illinois and that the Governor's right to issue such proclamation which presumes the ssme function as a statute would be questioned.

It Is said that opponents to the Governor's plan are to make the proclamation a mere Incident and -Are to direct their whole force against the existing law. They are understood to base their hope of success on the' informal opinions ot students of the live stock law to tbe effect that the law will not stand a test in the courts.

It's a fine state ot affairs when two hard working confidence men, who are trying to make an honest living by swindling rural -folk, when they come to town, are preyed upon by a sheep raiser from Iowa. At least' this Is what two of them think They now are in cells st tbe Fiftieth street station, 'one of them "an Influential book maker and the other "a Kansas farmer. It might hare been dishonest to take money from tbe confidence men the way did.

Sherman W. Blederbeck, who feeds sheep In Havelock county, Iowa, wrestled with bis conscience on this point quite a while. -Be it right or wrong, he would give, them a taste Of their own medi cine, -anyway. This confidence game bus! ness has been one-sided too long, be re- soned. 'THE PLOT THICKEST At the first saloon outside tbe stock yards where Farmer Blederbeck: sold bis shipment of sheep Monday, he met "Mr.

Wilson, the Kansas At Mr. Wil son's suggestion they went down town. Od State street the plot began to thicken. "Sh-sh," whispered Mr. Wilson, grasping the farmer by tbe arm, "see that manT He's the famous Kansas City bookmaker.

He la wanted by the police. Maybe he can tip us off to a good thing." It was only on threat of. exposure to tbe police that tbe bookmaker consented to let them In on a good thing. He reluctantly took a dollar "from each and went Into a nearby building to place the He was gone but a short time and when he re turned he said: "Tous is. your money," and he handed them S3 each.

This process was repeated until the Iowa sheep breeder became dlzxy from the win Dings. FAILS TO FALL FOR "OLD To make the final big bet the Iowan and the "Kansas farmer" put up their checks for 15.000 each. The Iowan tried to be as excited aa he could when the bookmaker returned with tbe message of -victory. "Let's see, said the Kansan, "well have to deposit $1,400 each to show our good faith before we can collect the money. Ton "send home for $1,400.

Mr. Blederbeck. and I will do the same." 'By a singular coincidence Mr. Blederbeck had told bis sheep for I1.S00 and had sent Just $1,400 home. While for the money" to arrive the Jowan and Kansan lived at a hotel at the Kanaan's expense.

Friday the lowats became tired of city life, so be told the police the story, and John H. Wilson and George Williams were arrested. "City folks sure are smart." said Farmer Blederbeck. to Lieutenant Hogan, "Guess I'd better be getting back" home with the Christmas presents I bought with their money." C. H.
