Brothers of Harvey Wells Secure
His Release From the Mil.
waukee Jail Friday
THREE MONTHS OF FREEDOM
Wells Will Probably Not be Placed on
Trial Until Late in the Fall or
Early in the Winter
Wife Sell in East
(From fridays Daily)


Harvey Wells, the absconding clerk
OF the First National Bank, who has
been in Jail in Milwaukee for more
than a month awaiting trial i'm the
United States Court, is slated to return
to Kenosha this evening as all arrange
ments for the furnishing of MS bonds
were concluded early this morning and
the brothers of the young man went to
Milwaukee to bring him back with
them. 1t will be an unusual home COM
ing for Wells, but his relatives have
made great sacrifices to furnish the
bond Of $4,000 demanded by the United
States Court to secure his release and
Wells will be given breathing space
before he goes before the court for
trial. It has been repeatedly stated
that Wells has admitted his guilt, but
he has been in bad health for many
months and since his arrest the prison
Life has told on him. 1t is expected
that his freedom if only for a few
months will make it possible for him
to recover his health. The bond for
the release Of the clerk was signed
by his brothers and the surety was ac-
cepted by the officials of the Federal
Court on Thursday. All that remained
this morning was the fling of the bond
with the officials at Milwaukee.
It is not probable that the trial of
Wells will be reached by Judge
Quarles until late in the fall or early
in the winter. The judge is now out
of Milwaukee for his annual vacation
and the court will not be in session
again until some time next month and
there are number Of cases where the
defendants are in Jail and these cases
will undoubtedly be disposed of be-
fore the case against Wells is called
for trial
Kenosha people have been watching
with a great deal Of interest for the
coming Of the wife Of Wells, but it is
not thought that she will come to Ke-
nosha. She is still in Boston and not
withstanding her protestations that she
would stand by her husband when he
was arraigned in court, it is under
stood that Wells has not encouraged
her to come west and it is probable
that he will not see her again until
after his trial. Wells seems to be re-
conciled to the fact that he will ne
forced to go to prison for his crime
and he intends during his few weeks
of liberty to get his affairs in condition
for an absence which may last for a
number of years. The lowest penalty
under the law is five years, but with
good time Wells can get away from
prison with term of little less than
four years. John G. Slater of this city
has acted as attorney for Wells in ar
ranging for bonds, but he admits that
it is possible that Wells will plead
"Guilty' when the case is called for
trial later in the year.
Wells was released in the United
States Court just before three o'clock
this afternoon, his brothers and father
giving a cash bonu of $4,000 besides
signing a bond Of Y5000.

FIRES STILL MENACE

Losses From Prairie Fires

County Clerk,
W.T.


Prairie fires are still proving a
menace to the farmers in the town of
Salem and farmers from that part of
the county who came to Kenosha today
state that the fury of the fires is con
tinuing from day to day and hundreds
OF dollars worth of property has been
destroyed. The fire yesterday attacked
the farm of Frank Hahn and the people
on the farm were forced to work for
hours to stop the advance of the
flames. Stacks of grain were burned
and the buildings were saved by plough
ing about them. Thomas Flemming,
former town chairman Of Salem, who
was in the city today declares that the
loss from the grass fires this year has
been heavier than in any preceding
year.
