KBNosHA ITALIAN ARRESTED
Fllbsrto Ricchio of This Cit " Wanted in
Chicago on a Serious Charge.

Chief of Police O'Hare Thursday
night arrested Fi1berto Ricchio, we'll
known Italian of this city, on charge
of attempted rape. He is wanted in
Chicago and was arrested on a COM
plant sworn out by Charles S. Deneen,
District Attorney of Cook county, Ill.
The complaining witness is Rafa11e
Comfort, an Italian girl, who is al
legged to be but fourteen years of age.
The crime of which the Italian is
charged is most heinous one and is
alleged to have been committed some
time ago. AS soon as the crime was
committed a warrant was issued for
the arrest of the Italian and he was
placed under $40, 900 bonds, but he fled to
Kenosha. He has been landed in jail
awaiting the issuance of requisition
papers by Governor Scofe1d.
The capture of Ricchio was one of
the most crafty ones ever made in
Southern Wisconsin. AS soon as it
was discovered that the Italian had
left Chicago detectives were hired to
search for him, but they could find no
trace of the man. At last it was de-
cided to send decoy letters to all cities
in the Northwest in the effort to cap
ture the man. One letter was sent to
Kenosha and with it came a request to
the Chief of Police to carefully watch
to see if the letter was delivered. The
letter came a few days and in due time
it was delivered to Ricchio by means
of the general delivery window. The
police found out that the letter had
been delivered and at once began the
search for the man which resulted in
his arrest Thursday evening The
Kenosha police are deserving of a
great deal of credit for the clever work
which they did on the case.

SAD ACCIDENT,
Little Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Mat B0hr,
of Brighton, Meets Strange
Death Wednesday.
FELL INTO AN OLD oIsTERN.
wandered Out Into the Yard.-He was
Found Several Hours Later.

A report was brought in from the
town of Brighton this morning to the
effect that the little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Matt Bohr was drownedsin els
tern on the farm of Mr.. Bohr Wednes-
day.
The little child was two years of age
and had wandered away from the house
and gone out into the barn yard to
play. Here he fell over board and
dropped into cistern, which was used
for watering cattle, and which had
been left open by one of the men en-
p1oyed on the farm.
The child had been absent from the
house for some time before it's absence
was discovered by the mother, and
then she went to search for him. The
entire lot about the house was searched
but no trace of the missing child could
be found. The lady sought the aid of
her husband, and the two searched
again, and as they were about to call
for assistance from the neighbors they
happened to come across the cistern,
and there found the 1ifeless body of
the little child floating on the surface
of the water.
The water in the cistern was not
very deep and the father reached down
and picked up the dead body and car
ried it to the house. Every effort was
made to bring the spark of life back to
the little form, but all efforts were in
vain, as the child had been dead for
some time. 1t is supposed that the
little fellow must have tripped on
stick and fell into the water and from
the appearance of the body it seems
that he used ali his strength to get out.
The mother of the little one is crazed
with grief and refuses to be comforted.
The little boy was a great favorite with
the people of the neighborhood and his
sad death has caused universal grief.
The coroner was not called to hold
an inquest over the remains, but it is
supposed to have been held by justice
from one of the little towns in the
neighborhood.

The Simmons Memorial Library is
now practically completed, and ready
to be turned over to the new Board of

Common Council. The only work re-

Below We give clipping that was

1t suits the Simmons machine so
we'll, in the way it conducted the re
cent State campaign, that We give
it. Read it:
''lt is of age, and it can do what it
pleases; it can SPUN the traditions
Of the past; 1t can repudiate the
principles upon which the nation
rests ; It can employ force instead of
reason; it can substitute might OF
right; it can conquer weaker PEG pie;
it can exploit their lands, appropri-
ate their property and kill their peo-
pie; but it cannot repeal the moral
law or escape the punishment de-
creed for the violation of human
rights.
"Would we tread in the paths of ty.

Nor reckon the tyrant's cost?
Who taketh another's liberty
His freedom is also lost.
