Nine years later, as he progressed from street fights to the amateurs and on to the pros, Barney won the lightweight championship by defeating tough Tony Canzoneri. A year later he took the welterweight title from Jimmy McLarnin. His career ended under the hammering fists of Henry Armstrong in 1938. Stayed With Wounded Three years later Barney was in the Marines and then came the night in a shellhole on Guadalcanal which changed the course of his life. Barney refused to leave three wounded comrades when orders came to withdraw. When they got them out the next day, the shellhole was ringed with enemy dead, but Barney had numerous shrapnel wounds of the hands and arms as well as a bad case of malaria.

Miss Bertha Heller, developed the theme of the egg tree from a children’s book about such a tree, and the local tree has grown each year in size, splendour, and types of eggs included. Many by famous artists, local persons, and authors of books are included on the tree, which may be seen in the Decatur library.—(Staff Photo)

Kidnapers Trapped By Extortion Victim Police Trap Is Set By Psychiatrist CHICAGO (UP) — Police today held one man and sought two other persons who were outsmarted by a kidnaped in a $30,000 exttSrtion plot? The elaborate plan went awry when the psychiatrist. Dr. Eli Bader, 40, first got them to agree to settle for $3,000 and then set a police trap for them as they watched. Arrested Monday afternoon was Bruce Vernon Pomaville, 23, Seattle, ’ Wash. Authorities sought James Barrett, 27, and Helen Nelson, 19, who Pomaville identified as his companions. The three met at a Washington, D.C., college for accountants, Pomaville told police, and came to Chicago to try their hand at getting rich by extortion. Pomaville said they found Bader’s name in a telephone book, investigated his financial standing and his family and rented an apartment. Lass Friday, Bader said, he received a telephone call from a who called herself Helen Greenberg asking him to come to the apartment to give her "mental help.’,’ He made an appointment for Monday noon.

ment, he was met by two men, one of whom slugged him with a blackjack, Bader said. They ordered him to drive to his bank and withdraw $30,000, and threatened to kill his wife and three children if he refused. Bader said he could raise only $3,000 and they agreed and accompanied him to the Michigan Avenue National Bank in Chicago's Loop. The psychiatrist told his abductors to wait, and that’s where they made their mistake. Bader entered the bank alone and one of the bandits watched him through the bank window. Bader whispered his story to a bank vice president and the two stalled for time until a police squad car drove up. The man standing in the street escaped, but Pomaville, who was sitting in the doctor’s car, was captured. Authorities planned to charge Pomaville with extortion and robbery.
