first money on l, 800 points and Taylor
county at that time was second while

w Chu6Sddy o1lCt hOOhD AiO0 AAOh man
alias Fred Miller, appeared in circuit
court before Judge Silverthorn and en-
tered plea of guilty to the charge of
burglary and was sentenced to serve
five years imprisonment the state pris-
on at Waupun. The crime for which
Hoffman was arrested was that of
breaking the seals of two box cars on
the night of Sept. Sd and entering the
same and removing goods. The cars
were standing on the tracks in the
yards of the st. Paul Ry. Co. In one
car he broke open several boxes and re-
moved corduroy jacket and a pair of
shoes. He then broke open another
car and opened barrel of apples, eat
ing several and filling his pockets. Lat
er he applied for lodging at the city
hall and next morning was told to leave
town, but the apples proved to work
disaster to him as it did to the first nude
inhabitants of the garden of Eden.
When Agent Goodrich reported the loss
Monday morning, the police remem-
bered the fellow with the apples and
that night Hoffman was arrested at
Brokaw He did not at any time deny
that he had committed the crime.
