Two young women penniless, foot
sore and weary walked into Edgerton
Wednesday from Whitewater. They
claimed that their home was at Mazo-
mamie and have been working in paper
mill in the northern part of the state
that had shut down. Their money gave
out at Whitewater and the only method of
reaching their friends open to them was
walking. By some means they had their
baggage forwarded to this place, but
how to get themselves or effects further
was problem to them for they were so
thoroughly tired out that they were
about ready to give up the project of walk
ing the remaining distance. A bevy of
travelling men who listened to their
story passed the hat and secured con-
tributions that purchased tickets to the
homes of the young women and they left
on the 2:14 p. N. train apparently deeply
grateful to the lift the knights of the
grip" had given them.
Under sheriff Burmeister of Madi-
son, and Deputy Patterson, of Slough
ton, were in town Monday on trail of a
couple of bank robbers that attempted
to blow up the safe of New Glarus bank
Friday night. The thieves stole a doc
tors rig to make their escape with which
ran away when few miles out from the
village, leaving them to get away on
foot. The officers claim they had traced
the men to within a few miles of Fulton
on Sunday night and when last seen
were enquiring the way to Edgerton.
Their visit here, however, failed to get
track of the robbers, though they were
sure could not have been far away.
While the thieves ruined the vault they
were unable to get at any of the cash
belonging to the bank. Later in
formation 60 to show that the
supposed bank robbers which the Dane
county officers traced into the town of
Fulton Sunday night stayed in vacant
house on the Orrin Pomeroy farm over
night and possibly all day on Monday.
They were seen leaving the house Tues
day morning and left on the road leading
west. The pair answer the description
given by the officers and claimed to be
looking for work though did not accept
job when offered them.
