Tho Man Who Paid the Conductor and

An old time travelling man was talk
ing Of experiences of former days on
the road. Frequently" said this trav-

fare from my city to that place was
then about 1925. l saved something
by handing the conductor 50 in cash.
Dne day there was an excursion, and
! bought a round trip ticket for $1.25
Or $1.5O-I've forgotten the exact
amount. but that circumstance need
not cripple this story. When I handed
this ticket to tho Gonductor as he tore
of the return coupon he looked ut me
and In a voice betraying how deeply
he was hurt he remarked, MY young
friend, don't you know that / Fan at
ford to haul you much cheaper than
this company camp
ION another occasion, when in Chi
cagO, u cOlored man met me ut the en-
trance Of the station, asked me where
l was going and offered to sell me a
ticket for 81. The ticket was to Louis:
vile, but l was only going to Indian
apolis. Cheap enough.
when the conductor came along to
take up my ticket he asked me my
name. 1t was usual to write ones
name on the ticket in the presence Of
the conductor. I told him my name
was on the ticket. He grinned as he
handed it back and asked me to look
at it and say If that was my name. I
looked. The name on the ticket was
Mary Flaherty.' He grinned again,
somewhat sarcastically, but he took
the ticket."-Pittsburg Press,

JURORS sELEoTED-NoT DRAWN
Clerk of the Court Not Required to
Draw Jurors for Coroner's Inquests

''The provisions of the law in regard
to the providing of jurors for coron-
er's inquests are not generally under
stood, - said Clerk of the Circuit Court
Waldo this morning "The law does
not provide that these jurors be drawn
from the regular jury panel for you
know under the law the clerk has no
right to open the jury box except at
the orders of the judge of the Circuit
Court or at the time of drawing Jurors
for the regular terms of that court.
The law provides that the clerk of the
court shall ssselect'' the Jurors to set
on the inquests. The names are taken
from the list of electors of the CITY
and county and the clerk can use his
own good judgment in the selection of
the jurors and the fact that man is
drawn on the coroner S jury does not
keep him from doing the regular Jury
service. Under the provisions of the
law the jurors for coroner s duty NAV
be selected in keeping with the location
Of the place of holding an inquest and
in this way the jurors will not be a
vast expense on the county nor will
the work of the coroner or others
holding inquests be interfered with

SEEK c, GUATT TART
Kenosha Italians Anxious
About Whereabouts of
Newspaper Man
LEFT CITY TWO WEEKS AGO

Friends of G.. Guattari, one of the
best known Italians in the city and
the Wisconsin representative of the
Italian paper Ella Patria' have ask
ed the police of the city to make some
effort to locate Guattari who has been
missing for more than two weeks.
For some time the missing man has
been suffering a bad attack of in
fammatory rheumatism and this has led
some of his friends to believe that he
may have been taken sick at some
place and that he has been unable to
communicate with his friends in Keno
sha. Guattari has been connected
with many movements among the
Italians in Kenosha during the past
two years. He was active in raising
the benefit fund for the victims of the
Italian earthquake and has been con.
nected with the political life of Keno.
sha in several campaigns Some time
ago he was made the Wisconsin man
ager for the Chicago Italian publica-
tion and it was his plan to open an
Office for printing the Wisconsin edi-
ton of the paper III either Kenosha
OF Madison. He has made Kenosha his
central Office, but he has spent con
siderable time travelling throughout the
state and is accredited with having
worked up a large business. The
friends of Guattari can not find any
solution for his prolonged absence from
the city.
Guattari resided at 272 Exchange
street and call at this place today
failed to bring out any information.
The Italians living in the house declar-
ed that they knew nothing of the
whereabouts of Guattari and that they
had not seen him for several weeks.
He is unmarried

of the oar which Hasten claims was
lost. The lake was searched on Tues
day, but no trace of the missing oar
was found District Attorney Baker
seems to think that if this oar can be
found it may throw some light on the
mystery. If Martin was struck on the
head with the oar it is thought that
there would be blood stains on it and
that this would be material piece of
evidence. 1t is just possible that the
oar was thrown into the weeds along
the shores of the lake and if this is the
case it will be very hard matter to
find it.
Charles w. Lehman and Samuel
Cohen, the two Chicago boys who
found the body of Martin, Monday, de-
clare that when they saw the body
there was a great mass of dried blood
over one of his eyes and this led the
officers to believe that it was possible
that Martin was assaulted before the
body reached the lake. The officials
of the Haegle Ice Company have asked
that the fullest investigation be made
in the case. Martin, the dead man,
was unmarried and as far as can be
learned he has no relatives in this part
of the state.
A man giving his name as w. N.
Steger and his residence as Chicago,
was picked up by Constable Truesdell
Tuesday afternoon as a witness in the
case. Steger was at the Northwestern
station and it is alleged that he made
IA statement which indicated that he
knew something of the case and was
not DESTROYS of being here as a witness
and for this reason the constable took
the chance of taking him to jail. The
officials do not believe that steger is
an important witness and he will prob
ably be released. Hasten will prob
ably be given hearing late today and
the hearing adjourned until tomorrow.
