Brady and Mills, Released at Pre-
liminary Hearing, Pay Thomas
Hansen $50 and Costs
MYSTERY ABOUT THIS ACTION
Men Had Been Re-arrested on Charge
Of Being Accomplices to the
Crime, and They at Once
Settle and Leave City

Thomas Hansen has recovered
nearly a hundred dollars Of the
amount stolen from him two weeks
ago last Saturday while he was
boarding a street-car at the corner Of
West Main and Market streets, for
John Brady and Frank Mills, the two
men who had been arrested on the
charge, turned over to Hansen Tues
day afternoon all the money they had.
It amounted to little over 500.
So far as Mills and Brady we're con-
cerned the payment was the price of
liberty, and immediate liberty. An
hour before the men disgorged the
money to Mr.. Hansen, Justice Nc
Carron had declined to bind them over
to the circuit court on the charge Of
having robbed the Kenosha man.
However, as they we're leaving the
court room, they were re-arrested on
a charge of being accomplices to the
crime Of larceny before the fact.
They were at once taken to the office
of Justice Sturges, and arrangements
we're made to have them arraigned on
this new charge. However, the attor-
against the men would be hard to sus-
tain, and the men we're anxious to Sc
cure settlement of the matter out of
court. They stout1y denied that they
had any connection with the robbery,
but at the same time they declared
that they could III afford ito remain in
Kenosha and wait for another prelina-
mary hearing which might take sew
era1 weeks. On this account they
were willing to buy their immediate
liberty by turning the money they
had over to Hansen and paying the
costs Of the action. 49,
Mr.. Hansen told the attorneys that
he could not give up another period
of time for the trialo of the case, and
this settled it. In half an hour the
men had turned over the money, paid
the costs, and left the city. It is
claimed that they did not have money
enough to get out Of town, and were
forced to borrow railway fare.
The ending Of the case IS most
unusual one and 1t is fraught with
mystery. The police declare that this
is not the end of the case, but the two
men are now safe in Chicago and it is
hardly possible that they can be Sc
cured again if evidence warranting
their arrest was found. The attor-
neys who had represented the men
who are known to have long police
record, stated this morning that the
payment of the money was ia no way
an admission of guilt on the part of
their clients, but sthatsthey desired to
get away and thought that this was
the quickest way to get out of the
trouble. One Of the attorneys even
limited that it was possible that the
men feared arrest on some other
charge if, they remained in Kenosha.
In the meantime the case will not
be dropped and every effort is being
made to locate one Eddie McNicho1s,
who is alleged to be another who had
a finger in the pie. There is no doubt
but that McNichols and the two men
were in company in Kenosha, and the
police believe that the arrest Of the
other men will result in the robbery
being cleared up.

THE POTATO CROP is SMALL
Secretary Trne Says Only Half the
Amount Will be Raised This Year


Amount Will be Raised This Year
/ Secretary John M. True of the state
board of agriculture says in his Oc-
tober crop report, issued Monday,
that the potato crop this season will
be about SO per cent as large as last
year. The report is based upon re-
turns made by correspondents in all
sections of the state within the last
couple of days. The counties in the
southern part of the state apparently
suffered less from potato blight than
those in the big potato raising coun-
tries in the central division. Mr..
True estimates that the yield in the
southern counties will be So per cent
of that of last year.
"Several counties report more or
less rot, says Mr.. True, "but as a
general thing the quality of the crop
is good, though the tubers are not
large. The prospects are that this
years crop will be much more re-
munerative to the farmer than that

this mob of hungry men in the

these blessings through them and

there were many men in this

-NN" VI N hdiNll lD' lpOO'
Dear Comrade: The strike in
the 81" and subway has been lost
and labor has learned another
lesson in leadership" Once
again organized labor has been
forced to face the fact that the
working class must assume the
responsibility of its own emanci-
patton and must find some means
of expressing itself other than
that of selecting some Moses to
lead the way to the promised land.
l. has been said that all thirgs
work together for good aud il
seems the truth of this is proven
by the experiences through wnish
organized labor is passing al pres
ent. AT any rate | have been
thinking lately that we should b.
very thankful for traitors. Wlay
great blessing it is to the work
ing class that its leaders can not
be relied upon, that one after an
other they prove too weak "a
withstand the temptations ol
wealth and flattery and desert
their followers in time of need
True, these experiences are pain
ful, but it seems the greates part
OF wisdom comes through suffer
ing and the working class will AT
last learn that only by relying on
itself, standing solidly together
as a class-conscious body and re-
fusing to put its faith unreserN edIy
in leaders can it ever hope TO Win
against organized capital. So long
as we will consent to be led, we
will be led as we always have
been-to the shambles.
And this is the great work the
trade unions are doing; they are
taching the workers the strength
of organization and at the same
time, through the treachery OF
the leaders" they are showing
the weakness of leadership. Or.
ganization will go on, it is the
key note of the age, Break up
one organization among the work
ers and they will organize again
on different lines and | believe
that the efforts of capitalism to
disorganize labor by corruptirS
its leaders will have the effect at
last of organizing it at the place
where it is the most effective, at
the place where it is invincibic-
the ballot box.
