intelligent and not at all disturbed by
his predicament, spent the night at the
city lookup. He was picked up by Off
Ger Raggatz and at the station house he
told very strange story. His home
is on Genshaw avenue, Chicago.
Wednesday he was playing about his
home when he was accosted by a strange
man, who asked him to go with him.
The lad, after considerable persuasion,
acquiesced and in short time they were
rorthward bound in freight car. They
left the car on the South side and the
lad was left at the station, his new ac-
quaintance agreeing to return for him at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The boy
waited until he became cold and hungry
and then began to wander about in
search of the man, He failed to find
him and Officer Raggatz brought him
to the station for shelter WEIGH says he
has an aunt by the name of Annie Clan
cy residing at Green Bay.

BODY WAS REMOVED.
Hunters Find Hidden Grave
in the Woods Near
Merrill

Merrill Wis, Nov. 25.-[Special. i
There is somewhat of mystery sur
rounding a discovery made by hunters
recently in the Chat settlement, about
ten miles north of here. While cruising
through the woods traces Of a set gun
were discovered and near the spot re-
cently-excavated grave was found, care
fully covered over with boughs and
leaves. The hunters made no investlga-
ton as to the contents but notified Sher-
if Rusch of the find and guided him to
the place. But when they reached the
place the contents had been removed
from the grave and it was left open, the
bottom being lined with soft boughs and
moss.
A careful investigation of surroundings
was made and the stakes used in ar
ranging the set gun were found near the
place.
1t is supposed that some person set the
gun, but having secured human victim
had buried him and then afterwards re-
moved the body for some reason.
No person is missing in this section but
the forest in this vicinity has been full
of hunters from all over the state, Mil
waukee included, during the season. The
authorities are on the alert for a clue.

MEN PLANNED MURDEB
VIII and His Victim Were Going
to Kill Sam Rosso.
ARRESTED THEFT
Claims to Have Killed Bruno in Self
Defense-Story of
PAY Conspiracy.

henosha, Wis, Nov. 24-[Special. I
Charles VIII, who confesses to having
killed Tony Bruno, spent the night in
the county jail The capture of VIII con-
talns little credit to the police, as the
murderer states that he wandered about
the city all day yesterday and in the
evening, sick of the whole matter he
went to the office of Justice Slater and
made full confession. He stated that
he had killed Bruno in self-defense Ac-
cOrding to the story told by VIII the two
men spent the evening together and had
planned to kill Sam Rosso, whom Bruno
alleged to be in love with the wife of
VIII After the fight with Berg in the
stairway VIII says that Bruno was mad
and demanded that he go at once to the
tannery and kill Rosso, threatening that
if he refused he would be killed. Viii
refused to have anything to do with the
affair and according to the statement of
the murdered Bruno attempted to hit
him with a pair of knucks. At this point
Witt claims that he drew his revolver
and fired five shots into Bruno. AT the
first shot Bruno fell to the earth and
the other four were fired to make certain
that the man was dead VIII refused to
see anyone save his lawyers after he was
confined in the Jail.
Notwithstanding the voluntary confess
sion of VIII as to the circumstances of the
death of Bruno, the police of the city
hint that the death of the Italian was
due to the fact that for several years he
has been under the surveillance of a Sc
cret society, which has long existed
among the Italians of the city. Three
times in the past year efforts have, been
made to take the life OF Bruno, but each
time he has escaped by scratch. He
was at one time face to face with a dOz-
en- men who planned his taking off. He
never finched, but with a command he
drove them from the house. Only few
weeks ago another attempt was made to
take the life of Bruno. Six men attacked
the Italian as he was ON his way home.
He escaped and got out of the crowd and
passed the night on the roof of the house
OF the ringleader of the conspiracy.

AWRENCE FACULTY
is CALLED UNJUST.
Students Say Fine imposed was IL
legal-Recognize Faculty's
Absolute Power.

Appleton, Wis, Nov. 23.-[Special.l J.
The formal protest of the Lawrence uni
versity students against being forced to
pay a penalty imposed by the college
authorities was presented to the faculty
today. The protest follows:
Whereas, the faculty, under penalty of
suspension, has imposed fine of $50 upon
four students whom, it is alleged, were re-
Sponsble for the injuries received by Paul
Seth, panitor, on the evening of October
20; and
Whereas, said janitor, although claiming
to act on the order of President Plantz,
acted without authority and manifestly not
in the capacity Of a private citizen with
the intention of enforcing law, but for and
with the freshmen, and by SO doing re-
ceived injuries; and
Whereas, the faculty had not jurisdiction
over said janitor as to his conduct in the
affair; be it
Resolved, that we, as a student body, re-
gard the fine as illegal and protest against
the action of the faculty as unwarranted
anu unjust and be it further
Resolved, that we recognize the power of
the faculty to exercise absolute authority
over the conduct of the students, in con-
sequence of which we pay the fine.
This, in diplomatic language, closes the
incident which at one time threatened to
drive number Of students from the
school.
