when Kearns is alleged to have thrown
a brick at another man and killed him.
and believing now that they have fin

The two Ohio officials who were in
Lowell yesterday said that they knew
with what sort of character they were
dealing since they had dealings with
the prisoner before. In his home town,
they said, that his reputation was bad
so much so, that he had been in the

escapades are being unearthed in
Lowell now.
He is thought to have been connected
with several petty robberies there and

LAND A BIG STURGEON
j. Maxieski's Throw "For
Luck" Produces a
Monster Catch.

One of the largest surgeons ever
caught in the Calumet district, was
landed Sunday by John Maxieski, 1878
Green Bay avenue, South Chicago, and
was on display in Samuel Winters
store on the East Side Monday and
Tuesday. The fish measured five feet
and one inch from head to tail and
weighed forty-five pounds.
Sunday afternoon Maxieski. in COM
pany with his son, John jr., took their
boat and rowed out into the lake
where they cast their hooks for the
finny tribe. After about two hours
work they succeeded in catching about
twenty small fish and were about to
go home when John ST., told his son
he was going to throw in once more
for luck. Hardly had the hook struck
the water, when there was a strong
Juggling at his line and as he went to
pull up, he thought the line would
surely break. After using the true
fishermans art in pulling in, he finally
drew the huge sturgeon to the side OF
the boat where the father and son
got it on board the boat. This is the
first sturgeon that has been caught In
Lake Michigan for some time and 1t is
regarded as quite a novelty.
During the time the fish was on ex-
hibition on the East Side 1t was the
center of attraction at the Winters
store

subject to a fine of not less than SIS
