Chief McCollum.

The Christian Endeavor society of
the First Christian church has adopted
resolutions warmly commencing Coun-
ty Attorney Otis Hungate and Chief of
Police McConum, one for his fight
against the gamblers, and the other for
the way he is going after the joints.
The resolutions are as follows:
Otis Hungate, County Attorney, Shaw
nee County.
The gam bling nuisance has long been
tolerated in this city, to the extent of
shielding the perpetrators thereof, until
it has become an unbearable outrage
and former county attorneys have done
little or nothing to rid Topeka of these
dens of vice until now you have begun
this most desirable crusade against or
gained lawlessness- Therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Young People,
Society of Christian Endeavor of the
First Congrega church do most
heartily endorse our county attorney S
action and especially commend him for
his firm stand in refusing to dismiss
or compromise, in any way, these cases
begun. And further we pledge our
earnest cooperation in the execution of
his plans to bring these offenders to a
speedy and just punishment, and we
urge all law abiding citizens to use
every lawful means in their power to
assist and protect this public officer in
the performance of his regular duty.
H. 3. HOWARD, President.
ANNA RICHARDSON, Secretary.
A F. McCollum, Chief of Police.
Be it also resolved that we most
heartily endorse the new plans and ac-
tions of our chief of police and do here
by pledge him our combined sympathy
and support in the performance of his
duty toward all offenders.
H B. HOWARD, President.
ANNA RICHARDSON, Secretary.

One Gust Paul, of Strandburg,
was arrested and brought to
Milbank Tuesday on a charge of
selling liquor without a license.
The complaining witness was
Lars Lundquist, and mum Der
of other witnesses testified to
the defendant having sold them
liquor. Paul pretends to run a
drug store at Strandburg, but
the general belief of the inhabi-
tants of Strandburg is that the
drug business is rather of secon-
dary consequence and that the
selling of booze is the more i'm
portant and more lucrative part
of the business. The prosecu.
tion had samples of both beer
and whisky purchased at the
store and made strong case.
Paul was bound over to appear
at next term of court.

Consolidated April II, 1890
Was Milwaukee Policeman

! In connection with the decease
and burial Of Andrew Croal, the
Milwaukee Free Press of May
9Th recalls some circumstances
of Mr.. Croal's life in Milwaukee
as follows:
Andrew Croal, who served on the
Milwaukee police department for
more tnan fifteen years previous to
1850, died this week at his home in
Mllbank, S. D., aged So years. Mr..
Croal was a member of the police
force when it numbered but five men,
and when they had difficulty in main
tanning order in the city. He was for
years stationed at Volk's hall,
Twelfth and Vliet streets, in winter,
and at the old Milwaukee garden
during the summer months. Hardly
night went by without few fights in
the dance hall and gardens, and the
policemen who arrested the guilty
parties were invariably interfered
with on their way to the police station
with their prisoners. Owing to the
lack of policemen they received no
help and no outsider would dare to
assist a policeman for fear that he too
would be assaulted. Many members
of the present force remember having
had trouble with Patrolman Croal
before they became members of the
force, but all speak we'll of the dead
policeman and say that he knew what
to do and, when not outnumbered
three or four to one, would do it.
There are no records of the police
department which show the date of
CrOals appointment, but il is known
that he was discharged for political
reasons May l, 1880. During his
service the police department was in
the hands of the politicians, and,
this fact, he served long
time. After he had been on the force
for several years additional officers
were appointed and for some time
he Travelled in company with
Patrolmen Adolph Jensen and Mumm.
The men at that time carried no clubs,
but ''shot bags" These were canvas
and were loaded with shot. No uni
forms were worn. When he was
discharged by Mayor Thomas II.
Brown, several others who had been
of good service to Mayor Browns
opponent at the polls were also let
out. He owned the property at
Thirty-third and Vliet streets, where
his funeral will be held.
Several years after he left the police
force he went to Owa and later moved
to South Dakota. Members of the
department were surprised yesterday
to hear of his death, as they had lost
track of him. All his former
comrades spoke we'll of him and many
will probably attend the funeral
today.
