The persons who broke into Nc
Mullen & Jones' store at Collins q
week ago Sunday, we're captured near
Burlington, Racine county, on Wed
nesday of last week. It is not believ-
ed they are professional cracksmen.
but are tramps. Their capture was
somewhat an accident, There is q
station near Burlington, which is q
tramp resort. Thither the two fellows
went after having secured their booty
at Collins. On Wednesday night
there was rattle for fowl at saloon
near Burlington. The burglars were
present, took large part in the rattle,
won geese and turkeys, letting the
boys race for them. The fun grew
fast and furious. Some one in tie
crowd upset tin pail in the posses
sion of one of the burglars and large
quantity of silver coin rolled out on
floor. This aroused suspicion and
officers were sent for. The two men
resisted arrest, the younger, James
Miller, drawing a revolver. When
captured they were searched and on
their persons were found $5O6.6O OF
this sum 1915 were in bills, the balance
in silver, half dollars and smaller coin,
no silver dollars. The bills were
charred from the explosion, just as
were the two bills Mr. Jones had
picked up near the window of the
store through which the burglars
made their exit.
Sheriff Muth and Milton Jon es
went to Burlington Immediately after
having been notified of the capture.
Mr.. Jones identified the bag contain
ing the silver coin, The bit used in
boring the hole in the safe fits the
hole exactly, and was identified by
the blacksmith from whose shop it
was taken.
The men gave their names as James
Miller and Tom Foley. They are both
mono ommittal. Miller is a young
man. He was convicted of carrying
concealed weapons and was given 80
days in the jail. Foley was sentenc
ed to GO days for making disturb
ance and resisting an officer.
Sheriff Muth and District Attorney
Schenian went to Racine to see
whether they could secure custody OF
the men Immediately, so that they
could be tried at the January term
They failed in this. An attempt will
now be made to have the governor
pardon them; this will hardly succeed

The runaway IN this city on Wednes-
day last and It's terrible consequences
should be warning to all persons who
drive teams in cities This ia particularly
true Of driving on Eighth street, in this
city, which is always crowded now dur
ing certain hours. John PolIfka is liable
to the parties injured for damages. Had
the accident been csused by a railway
company the damages would be eavy
In bis case they will probably be measur-
ed by his ability to pay.
Farmers are proverbially carel ess while
driving in the city. They have contract
ed this habit from driving on country
roads where travel is not great. A driver
who does damage through his own care
lessness incurs the same liability for
damages done that railway company
eoes It WAS not Polltka's carel essness
in driving, but carelessness in handling a
runaway team.
1t is not the question of damages
which should suggest care, hut the ques-
ton of humanity. No money compensa
ton can make amends for the pain these
girls suffered or the anguish their friends
endured.
1t is by no means rare sight to see a
man driving home in q condition v oily
unfit to have management of a team.
These men endanger their own lives and
the safety OF others. They should invar-
iably be arrested and kept confined until
sober, both f,r their own safety and that
Of the general public.

Bur few people realize the amount OF
money collected annually for taxes. The
county this year will pay for county,
state bridge and other taxes, not local the
sum OF sl23, l94 81. Add to this the taxes
raised by school districts and for town
purposes and the sum becomes quite
high. Government comes quite high
when the aggregate Is considered.

HENRY WALSH OF Red6eld, 8. d., died
on Friday o. last week. Mr.. Walsh was
former resident of Two Rivers where he
WAS educated. He taught school in this
county for several years and was princ;p-
al OF the Ahnapee schools. After being
admitted to the bar he located in South
Dakota.
He was a man of most excellent quail
tiles, transparently honest, true as steel
to bis friends and firm in his convictions.
He had the strength of settled purpose
and industry, and attained high rank in
his profession. What is more, he was re-
Rarded as a man OF the klndliest nature
and highest honor by all who knew him.
The defeat of the high school foot
ball team on Thanksgiving was in no
manner q disgrace to the boys, for not
withstanding tho odds against them they
put up hard fought game and made
their heavier opponents work for every
point they made. The Milwaukee team
Is the strongest high school team IN the
state but they had to depend entirely
upon their superior strength to win the
gam. In the first half she game was an
even contest each side scoring a touch
down. Msnitowoc scored first in eight
minutes play. They made long gains
through Milwaukee, line and Shlmek
crossed the goal for touchdown. An
derson failed to kick goal. Milwaukee
scored just before the close Of the half
by forcing the ball down the field for
short gains. They added three more
touchdowns in the second half but miss
ed two goals. Peterik for Msnltowoc
played q star game. He was seen in
everv play AID his tackling was superb.
Score Milwaukee 20; Manltowoc 4.

A SERIOUS EXPERIENCE.

Ollie Iverson, who owns ranch on Nc

undoubtedly very serious affair for Iver-

pia excursion party that witnessed il. The
incident occurred TO Iverson while he was
crossing from the mainland to his island
home. While in Tacoma the ranchman had
purchased a quarter of hog, intending TO
salt it down for future use. Shortly after
he left Stellacoom in his skiff he noticed
a large school of porpoises following IN his
wake, but tx never occurred to him that
the carcass in the boat had any connection
with the school of seapigs following his
boat. When he was about i'm mid-channel

shore, but his efforts to pull away from his
fishy pursuers proved futile, for he might

AS Iverson was nearing the shore, and
when almost directly opposite the United
States penitentiary, the two large porpoises,
that for about twenty minutes had been
swimming so close to the boat that he had
struck them several times with his oars,
suddenly shot out of the water into the
boat, knocking the rancher overheard with
such force as to break one of his ribs and
upset his skiff. For short time the water

In belts, crossing a portion Of the sky In

Moving ON the Ice.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
While the Muskego lake bed has been
popularity supposed to have been worth
less to the farmers owning land on the
lake shore. it developed in the circuit court
this morning, in the fight over the nos
session Of the lands. that the farmers have
been making neat revenue from the
lake svery winter by harvesting hay on
the ice. The industry apears to be ne
cunar TO Muskego. but it is one that
might be followed with profit By farmers

Both before ana after the first and Sec
ond drainage OF tho lake there was a
heavy growth OF marsh grass which the
farmers were unable to reach I'm The Or
binary harvest period of the year. When
the lake froze up. however before the
lake was destroyed, James MALTA, a farmer
who resides on the shore OF what WAS
once Muskego lake. says he would go out
on the ice and proceed to cut the grass,
now thoroughly dried and cured. lust as
though they were operating I'm an. ordi-
nary hay field. The yield would be brought
into Milwaukee and sold to the brewing
companies for use In packing beer In cars

also followed the practice since the drain

that the grass fields could not be reached
until the muck was frozen hard.
