STUDENTS HAZE TATTLER.

.SRah Rahs' Shave Head of Fellow
Who Objected to Naughty Word.
Because he objected to a number of
his fellow students say damn" and is
believed to have acted at tGltale to
the faculty at Lawrence Ollege in
Appleton, John Peter dickinson was
seized by a number of students the
other night and uIwillingly received
a haircut. Jochinson's hair was
clipped as close as the finest clippers
would permit He occupies a room on
the second floor of Science hall, and
was asleep when attacked The mem
bers of the attacking party were all
disguised, but Jochinson believes he
identified several of them. and If proof
can be obtained the hazers will be sus-
pended. The hazing followed the an
nouncement early in the evening by
President Plantz that some action
would be taken against the TWO fra
ternities and other students who par
ticipated in a dancing party at Clifton
recently.

SATISFACTION.

de never climbed the mountain heights !;
He never has attained success;
His name has never yet appeared
Within the columns Of the press.
Add yet he proudly goes his way.
Content In borrowed light to dwell;
OF one who wins he'll always sayi
Il know a man who knows him well.
Great things himself he never does,
And | am sure he never tries;
Ills greatest joy Is to attract
A crowd that he can patronize.
And then, in a superior way,
To them he'll condescend to tell
How close he Is to So and So,
He knows a friend who knows him
well.
The proudest man on earth Is not
The one who Is on top and knows 1t;
Nor he who has succeeded we'll
And feels above us all and shows 1t {;
But he who, when some great mans name
Is mentioned, let's his Uranium swell!
Oh, spare us from this bore OF bores,
Who knows a friend who knows him
well.

back to the top of the page and read
the words again. The foundations of
her world were slipping.
Suddenly she remembered one thing
clearly. 1t was her husbands voice
saying. Must be mighty lonesome for
Al MacLean's little widow, up there IN
the old place. She was saying when
she was in the store yesterday that she
hardly knows a soul in town yet She
just came out here to the suburbs be-
cause she wanted to be near her aunt,
Mrs. Crane, and because she likes to
be in the place where AL grew up"
That had been three months ago.
Mrs. Jeffrey had meant to call, but 9TH
er things had interfered. Tom had
spoken of her going several times, but
not lately. A bright spot had begun to
burn In each of her cheeks as she read
the note once more. She had never
dreamed, when hearing about mems
growing tired of their wives
She snatched a sheet OF paper and
dashed off these words:
This note from Mrs. MacLean to
you will explain why Teddy and l are
taking the 10 o'clock train for Chicago.
I'm going IT, mothers"
Having iliclosed the two messages In
an envelope. which she sealed and ad-
dressed. leaving 1t on the desk for her
husband, Mrs. jeffrey told the boy in
the rear room that he would have to
come and stay in the store until Mr..
jeffrey returned. Then she walked
swiftly down the street to her home,
the moss-green house at the foot OF
the hill. There, upon her own porch,
she found herself face to face with

She cast an appealing smile up to

juries in an Isolated House.
A child is dead, its father and uncle
will probably die, and three other
members of the family are seriously
injured as the result of fire in an iso-
lated section house at Genoa. George

schnitki, brother of Tony, "a years

burned and left leg broken in jumping
out of a second-story window; Anna
Konschnitki, 31a years old, burned on
head and arms; Frank Konschnitki,
years old, burned on arms and body.
The father received his injuries in an
attempt TO save his youngest son from
the flames. The fire started from a
coal stove on the ground floor of the
little station house, which stood a mile
from the nearest neighbor's and in the
second story of which the Konschnitki
family dwelt. The building was de-
stroyed before help arrived. Tony Kon-
schnitki was awakened by the smell of
smoke at a. m. He discovered that
retreat down the stairs and through
the blazing toolroom below was impos-
sible. Rousing the other members of
the family he and hiNbrother Paul set
to work to save the children. Kon-
schnitki, who is a section foreman for
the Northwestern Railroad picked up
his sleeping wife and threw her out of
the window She was not badlysburn-
ed, but her leg was broken when she
struck the ground. Paul Konschnitki,
whose arms were burned almost to
crisp before he escaped from little
side bedroom where he slept, leaped to
the ground The father then made
rope out of the bedding and lowered
Frank and Anna to the ground to their
| mother. Both children had been badly
burned Konschnitki returned to the
| little room where the baby had been
| sleeping with the uncle. He lifted the
| child in his arms, and was starting
| back to the window when the blazing
| floor gave way beneath him, and both
he and the baby fell into the toolroom
The father was dragged out of the
| flames, but the child could not be
reached.

RAID BANK IN DAYLIGHT
Four Men Make on with $1,000 at

Four Men Make OF with $1,000 Mt
MerriII-Big Posse Pursues.
A bold robbery took place in broad
daylight Friday when four highway
men raided the German American
State Bank in Merrill. Three of them
covered the cashier, r. c. Ballstadt;
the fourth went through the vaults and
secured upward of $1,000, overlooking
$4,000 in another vault. They then
escaped but were pursued by a posse
of several hundred. Two were later
captured in a swamp after a hot ex-
change of shots. The quartet ran
across East Main street from the bank
and followed the railroad track for
quarter of a mile, then crossed the
Wisconsin river bridge and ran into
the woods in Riverside Park A posse
followed in pursuit, chasing the rob
bers out of the woods at the park into
a clearing beyond where a running
fight followed. Probably 100 shots were
fired in all, but the pursuers were
handicapped by having only two rifles.
The others had revolvers. One of the
robbers was wounded. He was game,
however, and succeeded in getting to
a swamp with one of his companions,
where both were captured about half
an hour later The other two robbers
took a different route from the park
and were seen to swim the Wisconsin
river a short distance below the park.
When the two men were captured one
was found to be shot through the in
testines and will probably die. The
other was uninjured, but evidently
had enough of the fight, as the posse
was increasing rapidly, load after load
of men with rifles coming out in auto
mobiles and completely surrounding
the swamp. The money was recovered.
The robbers had thrown the satchel
containing it into brush pile. Both
of the robbers caught are young, one
probably 16 or II years old, the other
about 20 and both are strangers here
and apparently inexperienced as high
waymen. They had automatic ten
shot Mauser rifles. The younger man
cannot talk or understand English, but
speaks German, and through an inter
prefer said that the four had come
from Chicago Friday morning. He
said his name was John Laya and his
home Bellewood, H. The other robber
refused to give his name or address.
They were all we'll dressed.
