years ago he committed forgeries at
Winona, Rochester, Owatonna. La
Crosse and Sparta. He was captured
and served two years at Waupun, and
upon release was brought to Winona,
tried and given two more years at
Saltwater. While there the Prison
Mirror was founded and he was the first
editor Of that paper. Upon his release
he went to La Crosse, INDUCED in a

given two more years at Waupun. He
will undoubtedly be given another term
at Saltwater for his latest escapade.

Johnny was lost in the shuttle for some

He pleaded guilty to that charge and

Bold Robbers.
A daring robbery was effected at For
est Lake recently. Four men called at
the saloon conducted by G. B. Smith
and two entered the place, while the
others were stationed at the doors as
sentries. Upon entering, the men, who
were masked. called upon the barkeep-
er and a couple of customers to turn
their faces to the wall, the demand
being enforced at the point of re-
volvers. They then rified the cash
drawer of $3.50 and took $50 from the
register, after which they called upon
the customers to disgorge. From one
of the latter, an old man, they took $50
in gold, all the money he had, and he
begged them to leave him something,
but without avail. After securing re-
volver belonging to the barkeeper they
escaped.
