Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1902-04-01
HARBORED IN WAUSAU.

6 That Wausau has certain gang who
operate in opposition to justice was
again demonstrated last week when
Frank OHare, wanted by the
authorities for larceny, was given
shelter in this city for a
night, furnished with clothing and
money and helped out of town. He
went southwark and next morning
turned up at the saloon of w. Schmidt
at Rothchllds, known as the Five Mile
House, and there telephoned to a GER
tain party in Wausau. Under-sherif
Chellis was notified of his appearance
and drove down to the place mentioned
but O'Hare saw him coming and
grabbed his bundle of clothes and ran
for the woods. Chellis tied his team
and followed him for two miles, finally
chasing him into big cedar swamp
where it was impossible to get him out.
He then gave up the chase and returned
10 town. 1t appears that o. Hare, after
escaping from Jail week ago Sunday
secured a hat somew where ard went
southwark, for he was seen next morn
ing in the the same vicinity where was
located Thursday.
LATER-Since the above was put in
type O'Hare has been captured. Late
Saturday afternoon word reached the
sheriff that the sprinter had been seen
at Kelly. at which place he stole BIZ
cycle and started eastward. The sheriff
and under sheriff went to Kelly, took
up the bicycle track and followed it to-
wards Birnamwood. when night came
on. They met a man on the road lear
that town who had small Mexican
pony. The man claims O'Hare tried
to induce him to trade his pony for the
bicycle, and though the latter was worth
the more the fellow hesitated and re
fused because he thought o. Hare acted
in avery nervous manner which aroused
ed suspicion in his mind that some-
thing was wrong. The under-sheriff
went into town, found the bicycle at
the depot and later located O'Hare in
sales stable. There was but one door
in the building, and as Chellis entered
this, O'Hare had no chance to escape.
He was not much pleased at his capture
and since his temporary liberty, had
told different people that he never
would go back to jail alive. He claims
to have been at Mattoon lately and in
tended to go to Eland junction Sunday
morning and take tram southwark
He is somewhat marked up from his ex-
perience a week ago with turnkey
Phelps, and his hand is all cut up from
coming in contact with bushes while
running through the woods last Friday
when persued He says his experience
in that cedar swamp was one that he
will remember. At every jump he
made he went into the cold water and
bog holes up to his neck. O'Hare APP
pears to have the instinct of an Indian
for he can travel through the woods
without the aid of compass and not
get lost. Had he remained in jail the
first time he perhaps would not have
gotten more than thirty days sentence
but now results may be different. The
young man is the sou of respectable
parents who formerly lived at Kilbourn
City and appears to be black sheep,
for ever since his coming to Wausau
he has followed a course not worthy of
and it is openly stated that
it is not the charge of larceny he fears
but another that may be preferred
against him at any time.
O'Hare was brought before Judge
Miller yesterday morning for examina-
ton, but his case was postponed until
the district attorney being
as to what charge to prefer
against him.
