MURDERERs OF HARTFORD MAR
SHAL IDENTIFIED IN PART.
LARGE REWARD OFFERED
Evidence Accumulates That Bandits
Probably are Bank Robbers Whom
Pinkertons Chased-Arrested Men
Greatly Frightened and Beg Pro-
lection.

Hartford, Wis, May 23-After an
almost unremitting search Of twenty.
four hours, covering fifty square miles
Of territory in every direction from this
city, two men who are believed by the
authorities to be the murderers of
City Marshal Scherger, have been
taken into custody at Iron Ridge, and
it is said that their identification is
certain.
Two men who saw the bandits face
to face-William Thiedeman, who was
with the marshal when he was shot,
and John Christman, who passed the
men a few minutes before the shoot
it is upon their recognition that the
sheriff expects to be able to hold the
suspects. They say that there can be
little doubt but that the men are the
murderers They will brought here
tomorrow.
The city has doubled its reward, and
now offers 5000 for the taking of the
bandits; the county will add 5000
more, and the governor stated over the
telephone today that he would issue
proclamation on Monday. He would
not state the amount of the reward to
be offered by the state, but it is said
that it will not be less than $500.
Other developments of the day were
the bagging of two suspects at Alleton,
north of this city, and the discovery
that the bandits probably are bank
robbers wanted by the Pinkertons, and
who had been chased by detectives
for several days and .lost at Fond du
Lac. The Attention suspects, who were
caught acting in suspicious man
ner, were brought here and confront
ed by both Thiedeman and Christman,
but were declared not to be the MUIR
lerers and were released. Both were
greatly frightened and begged to be
given protection against the large
crowd of citizens who gathered when it
became known that they had arrived,
and among whom mutterings for ven
geance were frequent.
The conviction that the bandits are
desperadoes who wrecked a bank in
the northern portion of the state was
strengthened this morning by the head
of the Pinkerton agency in Chicago,
who stated to Sheriff Hit, over the
telephone, that the description given
by the sheriff fitted that of the men
whom his people had been chasing.

SPORTSMEN'S TALES.

Persons who have wondered why so
many deer hunters are shot by fellow
hunters may get some light on the
matter from Theodore Van Dykes in,
structions to sportsmen He says in
his book On still-hunting: Having
selected the ground upon which you
are to hunt you will probably, if lett
to yourself, so wandering around the
woods with your eyes fixed about fifty
yards ahead of you expecting at every
turn to see large calf-lile object
standing broadside to You in a nice
open spot, patiently awaiting your but
let-distanCe twenty-five or thirty
yards. The first thing YOU must DO is
to lay aside each and every idea of
how wild deer looks that you have
ever derived from your imagination,
from pictures, even by the best art.
lists. Look carefully all around yon
as far as YOU can see, but do not look
for a deer Remember this singular
advice. DO not forget ii for a moment.
One of the greatest troubles that Neset
for a deer. If the artists deer is in
sight you will see him quickly enough.
Never mind that beast at all Spend
all your time looking for spots and
patches of light gray. dark gray, brown
or even black. Examine all you can
see from only the size Of your hand to
the size of small goat Never mind

Col. Edward Hunter, u S. A., re-
tired. says that when he was young
captain in the army fighting Indians
in Arizona, the major of the regiment
was an enthusiastic trout fisherman.
On one occasion when the regiment
encamped near trout stream the
major, as soon as his duties would
permit took his rod and began to fish.
Presently an arrow whizzed BY his
head and then a rife bullet sung close
to his ear, The Apaches were hover,

PROFIT IN ILLICIT STILLS.
No Prospect of a Cure of the Evil as
Long as It Pays SO Well.

Although the makers of Illicit
whisky are punished by heavy fines
whenever they are detected, nearly all
of them get rich. At least, few aban'
don the occupation until they can re-
tire from 1t with a competence. One
of the most experienced of tho
federal revenue inspectors, who has
raded scores of stills during his
official career and who has had many
battles with the outlaws and heard tho
bullets from their guns whistle past
him, who has often Crouched behind
rocks and stood behind trees, and who
has done his share in trying to stamp
out the miscreants, said recently in
speaking of hlockaders and moonshine
whisky:
II have been revenue officer for
about twenty-five or thirty years and
have seen all kinds of service under
all kinds of circumstances, and | don't
believe hlockading or Illicit distilling
will ever be stopped. The reason for
my belief and am not the only one,
is simply this: There is such n large
profit in the business that the tempta-
ticn is too great for most of that
class Of people regardless of the law.

hardly ever missing when they have a
fair opportunity TO take aim.
Il will give you an idea of how
cheaply moonshne whisky is made
and the immense profits that are
reaped from its sale They take one
gallon OF cheap molasses, which
costs about 80 cents. two BUSHES Of
meal. costing Ga cents per bushel, and
some water This is made into :
mash. allowed to ferment, and the
stuff then goes through the process
of evaporation. This amount Of meal,
water and molasses makes four gal
Ions of whisky. which is sold for 50
gallon Anyone can see the i'm,
mense profit from this Illustration.
"l.aterly brown sugar has been
used instead of molasses, and is a
great deal cheaper. The sugar costs
about ~ cents a pound there are 800
pounds in barrel, making It cost
$3.50 per barrel, An immense
amount OF moasses Is made from a
barrel of sugar and the profit is al.

Possibly there is no line of indus
