WHOLESALE ARRESTS
MADE AT PLATTEVILLE
Sheriff Rounded up Eleven of
Tenderloin Crowd.
Three Men and Two Women Are Now
in JaiI-The Others Paid
Their Fines.

Plattevllle enjoyed partial cl can
ing up of it's tough set last week
and all on account of Swede who
let the cat out of the bag. Tuesday
night this particular Swede was in
Elwood's saloon drinking and hav-
ing a good time generally, when he
suddenly claimed to have been
robbed of $50. This claim he made
repeatedly and finally engaged the
proprietor in a fight. The two were
arrested and the next day appeared
before a justice who fined both of
them. The Swede made the re-
mark afterwards that IF it hadn't
been for the girls it wouldn't have
happened"
This set the police to investigat-
ing and they disco Vered enough to
warrant them sending to the coun-
ty seat after the sheriff and deputy.
Sheriff Budworth went to Platte
Vile Thursday morning and Deputy
Sheriff Elwell followed the next
day. This trip resulted IN the ar
rest of the two girls (Annie and
Georgia Hutchcroft) concerned in
the affair and these two ''squealed'
on the nine men. These were Bert
Kitelinger, Geo. Rosenthal, Ben
Peterson, Chas. Percival, Mat Wal
then, John Paine, Ward Ellwood,
Chas. Baney and Fred. Warren.
They had their hearing Friday
before Justice White. The two
women and five of the men, Kite
l1nger, Rosenthal, Peterson, Perez
val and Walthen, pleaded guilty tC
the charge of fornIcation and were
given their choice of 90 days In the
county Jail or $50 fine. All except
the women and Kitelinger produced
the money the others preterrine
three months in the cooler.
The four other men were bound
over to circuit court on charge
of adultery. Elwood and Ram didn'
pay the required bail and are guests
in Sheriff Budworth's hOstelry.

Mrs. Joseph Heiliger, of this city,
who were to have celebrated, last
Monday evening, their sixtieth
wedding anniversary, but owing to
the poor health of Mrs. Heiliger the

residents of this city and county,
where they are loved and respected
by a wide circle of friends, who re-
ioice with them upon having
reached their Goth anniversary of
married life together, rare event
in any community.
Mr.. Heiliger was born in Engel-
bach, Germany, Nov. IL, 1920, and

a JOY and builds up love and
character in the community where

A short year ago she gave up her

Her death removes from the ranks
