articles after which he decamped
The morning following, a tramp called
at the house of A. S. ChlOupek in Mishi-
colt and asked for breakfast. The fami-
ly thought he was unusually well dressed
for a tramp and for this reason looked
with more than passing notice at his
clothes. The description of him makes
certain that they were the clothes stolen
from Mr. Ertz's house.
The fellow succeeded in reaching
Green Bay where he took too much bug
Juice and became drunk. He was ar
rested on Monday and on the shirt he
wore was stamped the name Ertz. He
was turned over to the sheriff of Kewau-
nee county who brought him here. His
name is Albert Williams When brought
before Judge Cratic he refused to
plead guilty and said he didn't care
what they d do with him He was held
for trial before the circuit court.
The fellow pursued his thieving habit /,
while in Green Bay and on Saturday af-
ternoon ransacked the house of Robert
Gramer of that city. He was observed
and a description of him given the police.
He was caught Sunday morning at o.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY, BURGLARY
I AND SAFE BLOWING AT THE
VILLAGE OF CENTERVILLE.

On Monday night the Centerville Brew
cry owned by Garlzke Bros was burlar-
lied and the safe blown open, 1t took
three charges to shatter the safe so that
its contents could be secured. The last
explosion was so heavy that it seemed
the building would fall The thieves Sc
cured $50 and Toasted on beer while do
ing the job They also took some beer
with them when the job was completed.
Robert Luecker of Centerville was
passing by the brewery at II o'clock at
night He was confronted by two men
who ordered him to throw up his hands.
He did so, laughing at the time, think
ing some of the Centerville boys were
playing a joke upon him. But the pres
ence of "a revolver and strange hands
searching his pockets soon convinced him
that no joke was intended They found
So which they appropriated and Luecker
thought he was then free to go But as
he started one of the robbers asked, do
YOU want to be killed." This made him
postpone his going. He was then order
ed to lie ON his face. One of the men
got a clothes line from a neighboring
yard and Luecker was bound hand and
foot Jake Gauchs gate furnished some
leather from which gag was made. He
was gagged tightly so that the marks OF
the rope showed on his cheeks and neck
the next av. He was then taken into the
brewery and placed under stairway
and tied fast to the floor by cords about
his body. He remained in this position
from about II o'clock Monday night UNI
till 4 the following morning when the
brewer came to the brewery and releas-
ed him While he was being robbed a
third man was at the safe. When the
robbers had secured Luecker they left
him telling him to keep quiet as they had
a lob on hand which it would take some
time to finish Luecker was certain
when he was taken into the brewery that
he was going to be killed and shut his
ewes so as not to witness the prepare
lions. The robbers left at about o'clock
in the morning having first RECALLED them
selves with beer There were three men
engaged in the undertaking. Luecker had
seen them in the afternoon IN the wood
north of the village of Cleveland.
When the news of the robbery spread
the people turned out Ell masse TO hunt
the robbers down. Deputy sheriff Hen
nv Meany went out to aid in the search.
Tuesday afternoon it was reported the
posse had the robbers surrounded III
wood and that their capture was certain.
The robbers were not in the woods as
was supposed and it is evident they did
not remain in the neighborhood after
having done their job. There was re-
port that three men, tramps were seen
north of here last night, Sheriff Lehr-
man and Officer Dueno set out III the di-
rection and returned at 3 o'clock this
morning without making any discovery.
