Leather Co.'S timber, east of Knowl-
ton, held party up near Knowlton,
severely injuring him and relieving
him of $1,000 currency. After leaving
him they came on to Dancy, where
they spent part of the afternoon Sun
day, apparently taking life easy.
After leaving here they took the rail
road track towards junction City, and
had gone less than mile when they
met John Lundgren, an old gentle
man, whom they dealt with in the
same manner as their former victim.
AS soon as Mr.. Lundgren gained his
composure he hurried to Dancy and
the people of Junction City were
notified, and party was organized
here which followed in pursuit on a
hand car. After going about three
miles the men were Overtaken, but
they ran into the woods, paying no
attention to the salute fired in their
honor. AS it was already dusk moth
ing further could be done, but Mon
day morning when the Weary Willies
came from under cover and sauntered
into Junction City, Fred Culver,
deputy sheriff for Portage county,
placed them under arrest. The in
jured men went to junction City to
identify them Monday and they will
be taken to Wausau. With the class
of people that appears to be wander
ing through the country at the pres
ent time, it stands one in hand to be
on the lookout. These parties did not
appear to belong to the criminal class,
but rather to the densely ignorant class
not realizing what theywere doing or
the danger they were in, and citizens
in general are safe with such characters
looking through the bars.
