Crimes.

VIRoQUA, Wis.,, Aug. 14.-The well
worn adage When rogues fall out hon.
est men get their dues, seems to have
good moral exemplification in the case
Of the murder of the old people Reuben
Drake and wife, and their two grand
children, in the town of Kickapoo sew
eral years ago, for which crime, on his
own confession, Andrew Grandstaff, a
bully and tough, was lynched in this
city one week later. That he had con-
federates in the murder has been be-
lieved by the neighbors, and the father
of the murdered children, James Dupee,
has scarcely slept, so vigilantly has Le
pursued the characters whom he sus-
pected of being implicated in the affair.
The arrest of Irwin j. Fowler, in Rich
land county has opened mp some avenues
that gave promise of connecting three
\ or four more with the affair.
Fowler arrived here at noon in Gus
tody of Sheriff Pollard and is incarcer-
ated In the county jail. He stoutly az
firmed his innocence and disclaimed
having ever made confession Of com
plicity to Charles Smith or any other
the night Of the murder he replied that
he could prove by at least four Of the
members of Michael Welch's family
that he spent the night there. The
district attorney and deputy sheriff i'm
mediately went to the Welch farm
] three mules distant from the city, and
there learned on positive authority o.
the family that he was not there; tina
he left their employ several days previ
ous to the murder. Fowler will be ar
\ raigned. Warrants are out for tn,
arrest of two others supposed to be con
nected with the murder.
Frank Carey has been arrested in Ii
Crosse, charged with being implicated
In the murder.
