Brutal Assault Ferpetrsted on Saloon

Keepers who We're arrested Yesterday
on bench warrants for violating the
terms of the injunctions against them.
He had just come from the court
room where the cases were called
when he was beset by three ruffians
and thrown into the street. Immed-
ately a mob of thirty or forty men,
many of them saloon keepers ana
saloon frequenters, surrounded Schoe-
mig and kicked and beat him.
III. V. Bettes, the attorney in charge
OF the prosecution, rushed into the
county attorneys office in the court
house and called the police In ten
minutes the police responded, but
the mob had scattered and the police
found only the victim, bruised and
bleeding, on the pavement. Scnoenls

compulsory examination of the teeth

He declares that the average child's

were required and bad teeth remedied
the country's general health would
be greatly improved. DR.. Rogers

developed in a recent examination of

DESTROYED BY HAIL
A Destructive Hail Storm Struck
Greeley Township Like a Thief
in the Night at . A. M. tuesday

The worst hail storm that has Wis
tied Greeley township for years came
Tuesday morning at about 2 A. NJ.
Following a very hot day, the
clouds gathered in the northwest
and after working back, began to
gather new impetus and COM
menced to gather its force of des-
truction. By 2 A. NJ. (Which, by
the way, is an unusual time for a
hail storm to descend) it had reached
Greeley Center, Audubon county,
and commenced the destruction of
one of the finest crops that ever grew
on earth. The great corn crop was
tasselling out and grand sight it
was. The stand was fine, the growth
above normal, the ground was clean
and the heart of the husbandman, as
he pulled his cultivators out of the
field and into the shed, was glad.
The wheat was headed out, the
barley and early oats cut and in
shock, the late oats not yet ready to
harvest, and the great hay crop in
duced by excessive rains during its
growth was prolific in returns.
Those who were damaged arc Wal
ter and John Crees, Arthur Anciaux,
Frank Duvall, Clint Rucker, Oscar
Miller, Ira johnson who lost all
their crops, and others not heard
from, while those of Charles
Jayne, Lew Anciaux, Nels Chris
tiansen and George Mccall were
partly destroyed; Jake Baier, Clyde
and George Mccall have only little
left. AT Fred Reynolds the damage
was very light; at Clint Rucker's
cribs were blown off their founda-
tions, the chimney blown off the
house, the cattle shed turned over
pinning two cattle under the debris
and willow trees were twisted off.
The storm was three or four miles
long and varied in width. Altho
covering small extent of country,
it was large enough. A number of
the farmers was insured in the Es-
therville Hail Insurance Company.

$1,000 PACKAGE LOST.
Express Companies at Des Moines
Have Mystery.

ilosS NJSlClJs
Des Moines-A package containing
$1,000 has disappeared from the Des
Moines office of the Adams Express
company. 1t was one of three identi-
cal packages and while the ether
two reached their destination without
mishap, this one has completely van
lshed. From all that can be learned.
though several of the cleverest de-
tectives in the company's employ are
at work on the case, no clue has been
discovered as to what has become of
the missing $1,000 package
1t is understood that the packages
of currency We're consigned by a Des
Moines bank to an outside address
and that this one was either lost or
stolen from the local office of the
Adams Express company
After search of three days, in
which he was assisted by Local
Manager B. F. Stretton, Superinten-
dent Swift of the Adams company left
for Chicago with the mystery surround
ing the disappearance Of the package
still unsolved. A vigorous search, in
which several of the company's most
efficient men are engaged. is. however,
still being prosecuted and tracers have
been sent out.
Officials of the company maintain
the greatest secrecy in regard to the
loss of the package. They deny, how
ever, that suspicion points to any of
the employees of the local Office and
intimate that the package was merely
mislaid, expressing themselves as con-
fident that the missing package will
turn up sooner or later.
Both Mr.. Swift and Mr.. Stretton
stated that the packages We're not con-
signed to parties in Des Moines. but
did not deny that they had been sent
from a Des Moines bank to outside
parties. Des Moines bankers. how
ever, profess an ignorance of the
existence of the three $1,000 packages.

wooDMEN SUE FAILED BANK.
Charlton Institution Made Defendant

III Dig Quit.
Des Moines.-For the purpose of
recovering the funds lost through the
failure of the First National bank of
charlton the Modern Woodmen of
America has started suit in federal
court here for S42O,755.4 40 against
James Fl. Jamison, receiver of the
bank, and L. o. Murray, controller of
currency.
In its bill of complaint the frater.
nal order demands the return OF
s9oo,ooo cash which was deposited in
the bank with interest from Dec. I.
1907, and lien of $40, bringing
the total up to s42G,7554i9
The suit is a result of the defalca
tions and suicide of Cashier Frank H.
Croker, which wrecked the bank.
James H. Jamison, who was appoint.
ed receiver, secured the consent of
the government officials to allow the
Modern Woodmen order the $3.50 900
IL mad on deposit. But this order was
rescinded July / and it was decided
to bring suit.
At lecent meeting of the bank
directors they agreed to pay the ex-
penses of fighting the action, thus re-
lievlng Receiver Jamison The First
National bank of Chicago, the Nation
al Park Bank of New York City, the
National Bank of the Republic, Chi
cago, and the National Bank of Com
merce of Kansas City are also indi-
rectly involved in the action.
According to the complaint filed
yesterday the Charlton bank has been
depository for the Modern Wood
men since 1899. Up to Sept. 81, 1906,
the order had 100000 on deposit
there. At that time the head banker
withdrew $4,000, leaving $4,000 on
deposit.
The suit is brought to establish a
claim against the received of the
bank and the controller of the curren-
cy so as to get an order of the cpurt
to participate in the distribution of
the assets.

kEG PARTY ENDS IN MURDER.
Cresco Young Mans Drunkenness
Costs linn, LIZ, ifa

Cresco.-A "keg party, a little
spree, and then few hours beastly
drunkenness has just resulted in the
death OF one man and may cause
another the loss of his liberty for
the rest of his lifetime. Charles
Brown, the dead man, died of injuries
sustained at the hand of Alfred Craw-
ford, who beat Brown, jumped on his
abdomen and otherwise assaulted
him. Crawford is now in Jail here, a
very penitent man, bitterly condemn
ing himself for his Indulgence in
booze.
The whole affair happened at the
Farm OF Charles Brown. Crawford and
George Brown, a son of the dead man.
took out from town key of beer for
a high time. They filled them
selves with the intoxicant and by the
time Brown the senior came home,
Crawford especially was in a fighting
mood. When the elder Brown called
him to account for annoying Browns
little daughter, Crawford resented it
and struck the older man down. In.
furiated, Crawford followed up his
first assault by jumping on the pros
trate man and inflicting injuries from
which he later died.
Crawford says he has no recollec-
ton of what he did. While he was
still partly drunk he came into Cresco
called on the mayor and offered to
pay fine, telling in drunken way
that he had licked somebody. He was
held and when the facts became
known was cited to appear before the
grand jury in October.
Crawford is young man and mar
ried.
