WISCONSIN FARMER DRIVES
 oFFsPRINGS TO FLOW.
STORY or A LIFE TRAGEDY
Accused by Neighbors of Cruelty, He Denies Charge-Forced by Ne- oessity and Adversity to Have
 Little Ones Work.

Oshkosh, Wis.-Complaint has been made against August Dumdie, farmer living about five miles southwest. of Neenah on the line of the Oshkosh & Neenah Interurban, that he has been hitching four of his seven children to corn blow or cultivator and com polling them to drag the implement through ten-acre truck garden, while he guided it and drove as he would drive horses.
 This sensational complaint is found- ed upon facts, as farmers in the vicin- ity and persons from Oshkosh riding along the<highway in carriages and automobiles have witnessed the prac- tice.
 The attention of the authorities has been called to the matter and after securing substantiation of the facts oi the case Dr. Wilkie. of this city. agent of the Fox River Valley Humane so- ciety, went to the farmer and com pelled him to send five of the children ta school Of the seven children five are of school age, whom the farmer 1t is alleged, was rearing in ignorance, None of them Is able to read or write The majority are girls. The oldest one who was hitched to the blow is not over 14 years of age.
 a Dr. Wilkie stated that the blow has harnesses attached to it which were put about the shoulders of the children The farmer says the corn blow or cul. tivator is very light. and was used merely to stir up the top soil.
 When newspaper correspondent visited the farm, four children. one oi them girl, stood around August Dunn die, their father, offering a bulwark of loyal flesh and blood to the wrath of neighbors who branded the man cruel, inhuman and brute.
 Dumdie was seen, first by neigh. bors, then by an officer of the Hu. mene society, driving blow to which four of his children were hitched. The little ones were harnessed to the blow and they dragged it like horses. Al first sight it seemed monstrous, and the neighbors arose in outcry against the farmers inhumanity.
 But they did not know Farmer Dunn. dies story, and, not caring, did mol ask it. His story does not reveal cruelty. It is the story of a life trag. edy on which even President Roosevelt,
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-06-21

and all champions of race increase might ponder.
 Reduced to its lowest terms. this is Bundles story, explanation, and de- fense all in one. as he gave it to the reporter:
 "I have worked hard on this farm all my life. have been getting poorer and poorer every year. and more chil- dren kept coming until the house Is run over with them. But love them anyway. Things have come to a pretty pass if a man can't get his own boys to help him
 Farmer Dumdie is shaggy man. wita a discouraged expression and a look of sullen defiance in his eyes. Life has dealt unkindly with him.
 At mention of the blow he led the way without a word to a barn over fovlng with broken-dovn farm imple- nents. It showed the same poverty as the house. The man pointed 10 a wooden pBow made of rough tree limbs with a long tongue and four prongs.
 There it is." he said. in a tired way. ''Is tha; too much for my boys ana girls to pull? They like it. I push hard on the handle and its easy. It is not a plov. anyway. It is a cabbage rake
 The reporter pointed at the horse.
 Whats the matter with the horse ruling it7" he asked

MAIL R0BBER DOUGLAS
 GIVES HIMSELF UP
COnfesses to Having Taken $I,500 Currency Package From Mesa P. o.

Penniless and broken in health and suffering under the twinges of a never ceasing conscience. for the past eleven months worrying over the fact that an innocent man had been forced to suf- fer for acts of his doing. William Douglas. a Scotchman 40 years of age. walked into the post0hice yesterday af- ternoon and confessed to the robbery of the Mesa postohice on the 29th of last October There was taken on that night a registered package containing $500 in currency. which was in transit from the Home Savings Bank & Trust company to the Roosevelt Mercantile company. Douglas asked that he be locked up and told the officers that he hoped no mercy would be shown him by the court at his trial He had con- templated suicide. but his nerve failed him. Postoffice Inspector C. D. Lowe. who happened to be at the postofice. took charge of the case and was yes terday busy preparing papers in con- nection with the confession Today Douglas will be examined before Unit ed States Court Commissioner C. w Johnstone at TO o'clock.
 By the officers Douglas is considered one Of the smOothest men they have had in their custody for many years. He admits many of his crimes of years past and has evidence 10 prove that his talk is reliable. Since his returning to PhOenN several weeks ago he has en- tered five of the downtown business houses and had plenty of opportunity to make away with valuables. One place he entered was jewelry store He had been so successful as to have the safe open and had tray of valuable rings out ready to carry off. Suddenly his conscience tapped him and he thought of the months of labor the pro prietor of the place had put in accu- mulating tine stock Douglas claimed he returned the rings to the safe and left the place. Again. he was in the Cabinet saloon and had plenty of op- portunity to carry off the whole cash register. He did not see anything Of unusual value. so he left the place empty-handed. Going out he left the front door open. and the proprietor yesterday told the police that he had found the front door open when he opened up the morning following the night referred to by Douglas.
 With a stiff red musJache. and very reddish complexion. about 162 pounds in weight and six feet tall. Douglas gives the appearance at first glance of being weakminded. His eyes are dull and his general demeanOr is such that he would never be picked out of a
