Two young men, John Gierke, aged
81, and Walter Gruehling, "a, are now
serving sentences, the former in the
s'ate penitentiary and the latter at the
reforlnatory, rs result of their capture
by w. j. Sherman of the North West

came out from freight car loaded with
loot at midnight last week. The com
pany has been heavy loser from this
form of sneak thievery and has been on
the lookout here for some time. The
arrests were made quietly and both
pleaded guilty, Gierke in municipal court
and Gruepling to Judge Kirwan after
being bound over to Circuit court there
being some doubt as to the jurisdiction
of the municipal court in reformatory

of this city was married to Miss Frances

BAD WRECK IN LOCAL YARDS.

The problem of having two railway
cars occupy the same space at the same
time failed of solution last week at the
c. & n. w. depot just as it always has
in the past and the failure to make it
work out resulted in the rather promis-
cuous mixing together OF Il locomotive,
freight caIs and station platform.
The Two Rivers ''scoot" crew in side
tracking freight train off the main
line near the freight station did not pull
in far enough and left the last car pro.
truding upon the track which No. so,
the new Green Bay MIXED was to
pass, which the latter presently attempt
ed to do with disastrous results to some
rolling stock
Neither Engineer Wright nor Fireman
Bay could see the obstruction until they
were almost up TO it, the former having
only time to shut-off and jump. The
latter escaped over the tender just rs
they struck, saving his life by some very
sudden movements as his side of the en-.
gine received the brlnt of the impact.
The engine was badly wrecked.
No 80 is long freight pulling pass
enger coach in the rear. The passengers
received nothing worse than shaking
up and scare but if the train had been
going faster serious consequences would
surely have resulted. How blunder
of this kind can occur is hard for the un-
initiated to understand.

The residents near the site of the new
Standard oil tanks and sheds who have
been contesting in court the right to
maintain works of this character near

test for the present and by stipulation

received assurances that the tanks

A DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.

What thoughts flashed through the
mind of John Clemens a. he hurled
earthward fifty.fve feet last Saturday
at the upper Reiss coal docks will never
be known for when his companions
reached his inanimate body a few
minutes later life had departed. Work
ing with crowbar at high point on
the steel rig the man lost his balance
and toppling over backward landed
upon his head and shoulders upon coal
pile far below, breaking his neck and
meeting instant death.
Mr.. Clemens WAS % years of age, and
a skilled iron worker, an industrious
young man and good citizen. His
untimely and tragic taking off is de.
plored by all who knew him, but is an
unavoidable risk of his occupation. He
is survived by wife and three small
children.
The funeral was held Tuesday from
ST. Boniface church, attended by the L.
O. f. of which he was a member.

LIBRARY REPORT.

The annual report of the Manitowoc
Public Library for the year ending Oct
ober 1st, 1908, has come from the press
and is being distributed. Miss Peterson
furnishes her usual comprehensive re
port, replete with interesting statistics
of the work of the library of the past
fiscal year. The report shows that fines
collected du ing the year by the library
amounted to 1927 80 and shows the to-.
tai number of books on hand as 9093
The number circulated during the year
was 45 $50 of which 2 265 were in the
the German language. AS usual the
larger part of the circulation is fiction.
The report of Flora Waldo. Secretary
of the Library board, shows the cost of
running the library the past year to
have been $3135 40, of which Sl633 was
for salaries, including janitor and S5O5
was expended for books.
The report of the board discloses the
fact that the expenditure for salaries has
not materially increased in eight years
although the number of volumes has
been nearly trippled in that time.
The working of the library in harmony
with the schools of the city as part of
our educational system and the cooper.
alton of the librarians with the teachers
in assisting in reference work is pleas,
ing fact which the work Of the year
shows.
Having 5000 on hand the board asks
the city for an appropriation of $1,000,
for the next u months, their fiscal
year hereafter co inciding with the cal
endar year.

EXPERTS FOOLED BY MASTER.
Arc Not Always Able to Judge Az
thenticity Of Pictures.

One hears so much about false "old
masters" and fake art treasures that it
is interesting to recall the following
aneCdote, which is vouched for by NJ.
Jean Bernard, so well informed on all
that concerns art and artists. The
story concerns a Rembrandt, which
formerly figured at the Antwerp mu-
scum, under the description OF the
"Jeune homme la cuirasse," during
the exhibition OF Rembrandt's works.
To-day the canvas belongs to the Ger
man emperor. Twenty years ago the
owner of the picture went to a col
lector, NJ, Seldemeyer and showed
him the Rembrandt, offering to sell it
to him for $1,000. M. Seldemeyer in
turn showed the picture TO his usual
tation, and the next day it was re.
turned to the owner, with the remark
that he could not get couple OF
guineas for it in Paris. The possessor
of the "Jeune homme a la cuirasse"
said nothing, but took the picture to
M Antonin Proust, who at once recog-
niZed il to be one Of the best examples
Of the great Dutch painter. The Ger
man painter knauss, purchaser for the
imperial museums, happened to be In
Paris at the time, and when the Rem
brandt was shown to him he immedi-
ately offered to buy it, and the deal
was concluded for $1,000 The trans
action was one which the German em-
peror has never had any reason TO re-
gret. for II he wished to sell the pic
ture to-day he could easily obtain
