MICHAEL STANKO.
VICH SENTENCED
Tried to Choke Companion to
Death and Rob Him of Pro-
ceeds of Pay Check.

Micheal Stankovich, Russian, who
was arrested last spring on the charge
of assault with intent to rob Stanley
Zdunek, pleaded guilty to an amended
complaint charging assault with inten-
tion to do great bodily harm. He was
sentenced by Judge Webb to one years
hard labor in the states prison at
Waupun. The attack on Zdunek
took place two miles north of the
city, between here and Biron mill,
while the two men were walking from
Grand Rapids to Biron. on Sunday
afternoon, May 10. They had just re-
ceived their pay checks from the mill
at Biron and had them cashed at a
saloon. Stankovich proposed to
Zdunek that they 60 into the near
by woods and rest themselves. Zdunek
refused. saying that he was not tired
and kept on walking along the lonely
road with Stankovich Immediately
behind him.
The first intimation that Zdunek
had of treachery was when Stankovich
threw rope over his head and around
his neck from behind, twisting the
rope until he nearly rendered Zdunek
unconscious. Zdunek struggled des-
perately with his assailant and in the
mix-up caught Stankovich's finger be-
tween his teeth, biting him hard
enough to make his assailant release
his strangle hold and ran to the city
for assistance.

GAULKE'S STORE
BURGLARIZED
Robber Gains Entrance by
Knocking out a Pane of Glass

The Henry Gaulke's Grocery store,
near the east side market square was
broken into Thursday night and rob-
bed. The burglar gained entrance to the
store by breaking and knocking out
pane of glass in the window in the
rear end of the building, or feed room
and Immediately made for the till
in the store proper, which he rifled of
its contents, some forty or fifty dollars
in silver.
Mr.. Gaulke, on closing in the
evening did not wish to be burdened
by carrying the silver home with him,
thinking it to be perfectly safe in the
till, but learned to his sorrow other
wise this morning.
Beside the money taken: a numbe,
of cigars and some candy was also
missing; in fact the robbers way out
was tracked by the cigars he dropped
in making his exit, which was not
the window, by which he obtained an
entrance but he politely unbarred the
door and made his escape.
This makes the second business
place In the city broken into and
robbed within the past ten days, the
other being the Nick TomcYek sa-
loon on the west side. The robber
gaining an entrance in exactly the
same way.
Presumably band of thieves are
operating in the city, and it therefore
behooves our city police to spare no
efforts in catching the guilty parties
and bringing them to justice.

will front south and the street on
which it is located has been selected
as the future business street of the
village.
We understand that members of the
proposed company have purchased
Brazeau Bros. stock of goods and will
move same into their own building as
soon as it is completed, about August
first. The building now occupied by
BraZeau Bros. will be remodeled for
the offices of the NekooSa- Edwards

ELKS ROYALTY ENTER
TANNED WHILE IN WAUPACA

The Elks baseball team of this
city, were defeated In Waupaca
Thursday by the Knights of Pythias
baseball team of that city by a score
of tO1. The Elks are very enthusi-
astic over the cordial reception they
received at the hands of the Knights.
They were given trolley ride of four
miles out to the Chain o. Lakes, a
launch ride around the lakes, and
entertained at dinner at the leading
hotel In that city. The umpire and
the citizens gave them square deal.
Our boys are looking forward to a
return game in the near future when
they hope to return in part the
excellent entertainment they received
at the hands OF Waupaca Knights.

PETTY POSTAL CHEATS

"You would be surprised" said a
postoffice clerk, "at the efforts people
make to avoid the payment of postage.
And quite often it is not the work of
children either. The most common
is to take the stamp that has been
Cancelled by hand and the impression
just touches the edge of the stamp.
After pricking the marked edge
with pin or cutting it with a pair Of
shears to resemble the punctured edge
Of the stamp. it is put on an envelope
for another voyage. All these are
placed in the hands Of postal inspect
ors for investigation.
Others try to give the impression
that stamp had been put on an
envelope and become loose and lost in
transit by sticking stamp on the
envelope and then pulling it with
part of the envelope sticking to it off
again. These as well as underpaid
letters. unless they haye foreign
destination, where postage is then
collected, are marked Returned for
postage" sent back to the sender.
Second-class matter, as a roll of news
papers, is often sealed against inspect
ion by having the stamps overlap the
cover. Whether foreign or not it is
returned for postage. When it
again shows up, the mistake rectifed,
upon inspection it is usually found to
contain written letters, photographs
(unmounted), jewelry, merchandise of
kinds, making the package under
paid, hence it is again returned.
But the limit of foolishnesS comes
when person tries to efface the in
delible ink from the stamp and with
half of the features missing or rubbed
away and some of the ink still remain
ing atfixes it to an envelope, with the
address Of sender upon the back to
facilitate investigation.
"This though, is stretching it a
little too much: A postalcard that
had been put through a canceling
machine and delivered to the address
see had the canceling impression and
the address scratched off with the aid
Of sharp knife and a written mess
age pasted on the reverse side."
