Neenah, Wis, Nov. 11.-[Special. J.
The Twin cities have been troubled by
an organized gang of boy thieves who
have for the last month committed many
bold robberies. The gang seems to be
made up of several youthful rogues, and
the police of this city and Menasha are
at loss how to capture the boys and
put an end to the robberies.
Last might the gang did some more
work and the grocery store of AL. Neu
deck was broken into. Nothing save a
few notes and receipts taken from d
drawer was secured. The entrance was
gained by cutting through the panel OF
the back door. The work gave evidence
of local talent and the police are of the
opinion that the gang of thieves were re-
SpOnsble for the trouble.
The chief of police has decided that the
gang must be broken UP at all costs and
has put the best men ON the force at
work on the case. 1t is reported that the
officers are hot after the gang and that
several arrests will follow.

La Crosse, Wis, Nov. 11.--[Special. l..
The police have arrested Fred ingalls,,

ON Thursday afternoon, when for time
most disastrous conhagration was
threatened. Ingalls, was seen to run from
one OF the barns just before the fire broke
out. He claims he was intoxicated at

that he had lost several games of dice in
a saloon in the European hotel

ton before Judge John Brindley in the
criminal court and was bound over to
the circuit court. There he pleaded gull
ty before Judge Wyman and was SEN

always created much interest, and it was
thought that it contained the bones of

may be 200 years old or it may have been
in existence 1000 years, that historians no
longer believed in the theory of mounds
having been erected by mound builders,
but that their construction is now at

"A sensational scene was enacted in
Judge O'Neill's courtroom at Neillsville
before sentencing Ward. The judge gave
the man some good advice and advised
him to tell where the money was hidden
which he is convicted of having taken
from George Trogner's residence last
spring. He at first stoutly denied having
taken it, but was somewhat staggered
when the judge pronounced sentence Of
eight years. Turning to the judge, after
few minutes thought he said Can't
you knock off year or two, judge, if
tell you where the money is?'
Judge O'Neiil replied that he would con-
slider it and Ward then confessed that
he had secreted it at a point ON the Green
Bay railway near Mcmillan.
The officers went with him to the place
indicated. Ward took them to a place
called the ''tramp's camping ground"
and to the roots of tree where he said
the money was buried, but the treasure
had disappeared. The officers believe his
statement to be true.

AVOID EXPULSION.
Many Students Who Took Part in
Halloween Raid Quit the
UniVerSity

Madison, Wis, Nov 11-lSpecial. L
Twenty-Five students have been brought
up for a hearing before the faculty COM
mittee charged with being implicated in
the Halloween raid on Ladies' hail. The
testimony of a large number of witnesses
of the affair was heard in private this
morning, while the other students who
had received notice to appear waited out
side OF the deans office for their turn
1t now develops that a number Of stu
dents. who feared that they had been
identified as being connected with the
dlSgraceful proceedings, have taken
French leave from the university At
least six OF the boys who took part in
the affair are known to have left Madi
sin. 1t is given out by the associates Of
some of them that their good conduct
heretofore led the faculty to give them
a warning hint. that they might be saved
the disgrace Of being expelled.
New evidence has been coming in more
rapidly in the past few days. Those in
charge have deplored the fact that the
ponce have, given them little assistance
ana that they were Handicapped by the
same Indifference of the police in the
opera house affair of last winter.
MISS Bright, formerly matrOn Of La
dies hall, does not hold the boys as gull
ty as many others co. but is inclined to
ueleHu Cnem. she says that 1t was al
ways customary for the boys to go in
body to the hall on Halloween and to
perform out in front. 1t was also Gus
tomary for the girls to give a fancy dress
party. This year the girls decided to
nave a dance and part wear
dress suit and pretend to be boys.
Many OF the girls borrowed dress suits
from the fellows and it was a desire to
see how the girls looked in their clothes
that melted the boys to enter the hall
When the boys arrived at the hall the
girls ran to the windows and laughed
and some beckoned to the boys and Miss
Bright believes that the girls by their en-
couragement are in way responsible for
the trouble
1t is rumored that geo notices were
last evening sent out to students setting
time FOR them to appear before the facul
ty Il! regard to the raid. Coasterna ton
is felt Oh all sides and the boys are thor
oughly scared. One of the members of
the second eleven was notified by the
dean that if he did not leave the univer-
slty by Monday he would be expelled
He left for home today
1t has leaked out that there have been
some tale-bearerS. who were otherwise
dlsinterested. This fact has SO exasper-
ated students who were not concerned.
and who have joined in condemnation of
the guilty ones, that it is feared there
will be other punishment dealt out than
mere suspension.
Hazing has been freely talked of, and
the excitement among the students in
creases as the reports are received from
those who have had their hearing and
suspect tattlerS.
