Wisconsin Posse Captures Desper-
ADDE'S After Pistol Battle.
Three of the most desperate postoffice
robbers and safe blowers known TO the
police of the West have been arrested by
a posse Of farmers at Riehfeld, Wash
ington county, after three battles with re-
yolvers and rifles. The three men ar
rested are George Fritz alias Tom Ey-
ans, Wisconsin Tommy and James Hess;
James Adams, alias Dan Ramsey; Tom
my Little and Thomas Clark, alias Thorn
as Murray Joe Casey was also ar
rested. Adams and Clark were sentenced
by Judge Seaman Oct. 80, 1902, to four
years al the Saltwater prison on a charge
of having robbed postofice at Reeds
vile. Adams has also served time IN
Chicago and Marquette, Mich. Clark has
served two terms at Saltwater and one
at Waupun. Sheriff Held says the trou-
bic started Sunday night at a merry-go-
round on a vacant lot owned by Henry
Laubenheimer, farmer at Richfield. The
quartet insisted that the man who owned
the merry-go- round should let all children
ride free. He demurred and Laubenheim-
er took his part. Laubenheimer accident
ally kicked a coat which one of the four
men had placed on the ground The lapel
flew open, disclosing two revolvers and
several drills and files, such as safe blow
ers use, in an inside pocket. Excuse me,
said Laubenheiner to the owner of the
coat. ''I'll get even with YOU" said the
man, with an evil glance and an oath.
Iaubenheimer replied by knocking him
down. The mans companions drew re-
volvers and fired several shots. One went
through the hand of Willy Schultheis, a
bystander. The four men ran, but were
not pursued by the crowd, who were awed
by the weapons. Later the quartet went
to the barn of Laubenheimer, the farmer
with whom the trouble had started, and
when he ordered them away they fired
several shots at him. one of which narrow
ly missed him. They then ran to the de-
pot, where they were pursued by the
aroused farmers. They barricaded them
selves in the depot and forty or fifty shots
were exchanged. They escaped in the
darkness, but were tracked early next
morning to a barn at Goldendale, three
miles from Richfeld. While the posse
was outside the barn waiting for re-en-
forcements the men escaped into a grove.
There they later surrendered after a few
shots had been fired.

HarrasSed RcnuhIIcnna

The Republican managers profess to
be vastly worried over the Jillman bill
which passed the Senate prohibiting
corporations from contributing to polit.
ical campaign funds. 1t Is not very
encouraging that the bill passed the
Senate without a word of debate, and
it Is either intended to put the Senators
on record as being the radical body and
thus make the House swallow it OF
defeat it, or it shows that the RepublI.
can corporation Senators feel sure of
the usual campaign contributions from
some hidden source. If the bill is re-
ported to the House by the committee
to whom it has been referred, it will
undoubtedly pass, for even Speaker
Cannon and the other Republican cor.
poration leaders will not dare to Cd.
pose it.
The Republican members of the
House are in hot water anyway, for
they must vote for reform, or their con.
stituents, who are sitting up and tax.
ing notice this year, will down them,
and on the other hand they must have
campaign funds. or be defeated With
the corporations prohibite1 from fur.
nisling the usual large amount, the
campaign war chest will be only re-

The poor harassed Republican Con.
gresham is damned if he does vote for
such a bin and condemned if he does
not vote for it, and so he cusses Sen
ator Tilhnan.
As the Democrats learned In 1890
and have become accustomed in subse-
qucnt years how to get along with
hardly enough money to pay their
printing bills and postage, they will
welcome the passage of a measure that
will aid in preventing Republican cor.
ruption and which will put them on
more even terms with their heretofore
highly subsidized opponents. And If
the Republicans refuse to pass the bill,
that fact will make another good rea-
son for turning the rascals out

Feminine Bullets.

1t was the custom Of Miss Susan B.
Anthony to turn away wrath rather
than answer malicious questioner in
kind. But one retort, which she gave
to Horace Greeley, says Il writer in the
Boston Transcript has become famous
among her followers.
She had addressed the New York
constitutional convention in Albany in
1867, and offered to answer questions.
"You know the bullet and the ballot
go together drawled Mr.. Greeley. IF
you vote are you ready to fight:'
Eyes. Mr.. Greeley" she replied.
"Just as you fought in the late war-at
