Virginia Troubles

Judge Moer Friday sentenced JOS.
Babenack who was convicted Of man
slaughter in the second degree for
the death of one Rescfk at Virginia
in February. The judge administered
the lightest penalty in his power, $500
fine or one year in Saltwater at hard
labor. County Attorney Arbury and
Others have decided TO try and see if
they cannot induce Babenack's
Chicago relatives TO pay the fine.
The death Of Resehk, his honor said,
was due more to an accident than
otherwise. Babenack's victim was
struck in the head with a stove
scraper which fractured his skull.
Reschk did not heed the advice Of his
physician. went out on the street and
died from exposure 10 days after he
received the blow. Babenack has a
wife and five children in Austria, who
are dependent upon him.

as abundant time was had TO carry
everything in the building to safe
quarters. In great many cases ii
would be much more to the liking Of
the parties burned out to have every
thing burn rather than have it de-
stroyed in the manner it was done at
Saturdays fire.
The fire department should see to
it to have fire marshal appointed
whose duty it should be to see that
goods from burning buildings are re-
moved with care and transported TO
safe quarters. and not left to the
mercy of people whose intentions. are
good but who go at it in destructive
way. To throw dishes. pictures, ETC.,
through the window lights is rank
folly-a sort Of mania TO which some
people are subjected.
