WENT FOR THE TOP.
John Casting Makes an Effort to Rise in the
World and Lands in County Jail.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(FrOm Saturdays Da1ly.)
John Casting, farm hand employed
on the Balm farm in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie, came to Kenosha Friday
evening and filed up with tang1e foot
whiskey. When he had reached that
delightful state of oblivion known to
the rough police officers as "just plain
drunk" he took a notion that he wanted
to rise in the world from his 1ow1y po-
sition. For the purpose of rising he
hied himself to the North Western
station and climbed TO the top of the
signal tower.
His ambition to rise had just been
realized when Casting was discovered
by Police Officer Likes and the unsym-
pathetic policeman called to the man
to "come off his perch" This took all
the am bition out of Casting and he
started to come down and slipped and
fell some ten feet. The force of the
blow was sufficient to bruise the man
in terrible manner and it will proba-i
bly, be some time before his friends
will be able to recognize him.
Bruised and bleeding the man was
taken to the Jail and this morning the
story of his ambitions failed to appeal
to the justice and Casting was sent to
Jail for fifteen days or until his friends
come around and pay fine of a dollar
and costs.

Bristol Man With Reputation as a
Runner is Placed Under Arrest
by Constable Gloss.
IS CHARGED WITH AN ASSAULT.
wife of the Bristol Man claims That he
Kicked and Choked her. Carney
ONE ran to Evade officers.
(From Fridays Daily

Henry Carney, the long distance
runner of the town of Bristol, who for
the past year has been terror to po-
lice officers in the county, is in the
county jail charged with beating his
wife. The arrest of Carney was made
by Constable Nick Gloss shortly after
6 O'Clock Thursday evening. The con-
stable was diplomat in the line, or it
is probable that Carney would be by
this time safe in another State and
still running.
Carney seems to be descendant of
the Wisconsin Indians, or at any rate
the ability to run was early developed
in the man. He doesn't seem to be
any too faithful to his marriage vows
and year ago the wife, Mrs. Rose
Carney, came to Kenosha and swore
out warrant for the arrest of the rum
ner on charge of desertion. Officers
Newhouse and O'Hare we're sent to
Bristol to make the arrest. Carney
saw the officers coming and started to
run, and although the officials chased
the man for over an hour he distanCed

State and county.
He remained away for many months
and finally the warrant against him
was withdrawn. He then returned to
his old haunts and according to the
complaint made by his wife he beca me
abusive. Two days ago he attacked
her and kicked her, choked her, and
finally threatened to kill her with
a razor. This was too much for the
long suffering wife and she swore out
a warrant for his arrest on a charge of
assault and battery.
The constable was sent to serve the
warrant last night and Carney was
not given chance to escape by run
ming away. The constable carefully
had the house guarded before he went
to the front door to demand admit
lance, and Carney finding his usual
game foiled surrendered himself with
out contest. The case had a hearing
before Justice McCarron this after
noon, and is still IN progress at the
time of our going to press. From all
reports the man has been 1oafing
about his home for several months
without work and the management of
the farm has devolved on the wife who
he is accused of beating.

but that is not so, you commit great

said it is not uncommon to hear from
men and boys and even from mothers,
that boys must SOW their wild oats"
These people have never seen the

they would know it doesn't pay to sow
that kind of oats" Illustrating this
point he told of a man who in his
youth had sowed his wild oats" but
later had married and become the faith
er of number of girls. They disap-
peared from home and he came to New
York and found three of them in the
Florence Mission, by which they had
been rescued from the ranks of fallen
women.
"'Be not deceived, God is not mock
ed: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap The sowing may
be pleasant, but the reaping is bitter
ness" The speaker also read a letter
which was sent to him some several
years ago, and which was the confess
sion of a man that had fallen to the
lowest depths of human infamy and
degradation. The writer of the mis-

he had no hope for himself and dared

to assure him that though your sins

the man ever repented or tried to atone
for his past. The letter, however, is
so terrible a warning to others that
1t has been put in tract form and cir
culated widely. At the close of the
meeting a large number came forward
and pledged themselves to try to lead
better life.
