Prison Terms for Young Bandits.

Fred Harten, age %, and Bert Kreu-
ger, age 20, the two young Evansville
desperados who entered George Chase's
home in Brodhead on the night of Feb.
n and went through his home in search
of valuables after he had been felled by
a murderous assault with a piece of
carriage spring in the hands of Harten,
were brought from Monroe to James
vile Thursday to attend special ses-
sion of the Green county circuit court.
Harten was securely handcuffed and
his elbows were tied behind him with a
heavy strap. Kreuger was bound to
Harten with one set of manacles and to
Deputy Sheriff Sewell with another.
Sheriff Fl. L. Ball, with head still ban
daged as the result of injuries sustained
in the struggle which preceded Har-
tens recent escape from the jail. Dis
trict Attorney w. H. McGrath and
Clerk of the Court Thomas Luchsinger
made up the balance of the escort.
Both of the accused were arraigned
on their own petitions and entered
pleas of guilty to charges of burglary
in the night time. The complaint
against Harten also charged him with
being armed with deadly weapon.
His career of crime in this vicinity was
commenced three months ago when he
began breaking into box-cars and steal
ing their contents. From the admis-
sions of the pair and the District At
torney's statements it appeared that
Kreuger, a guileless looking and sim
ple-minded country youth who had until
recently worked on farm near Brook
Ign, had merely been Harten's tool.
Judge Grimm sentenced Harten to
ten years imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary at Waupun. By perfect conduct
he can reduce this period to six years
and three months. Kreuger was COM
mitted for five years, which means
three years and nine months for the
model prisoner. Gazette,

good work horses on Wednesday and

The community was shocked on Mon
day morning when the news came over
the wire that Andrew Johnson, son of
Mr. and Mrs Albert Johnson, was dead.
His death occurred in hospital at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, on Sunday even
ing, March z, following an operation
for appendicitis.
DIR G. E Bilstad and Ruben Olson re-
turned the first of the week to the
Mayo Bros hospital at Rochester, MINI,
where the latter was to have been OPP
Grated on Wednesday, but owing to a
slight cold contracted by the patient it
was deemed advisable to postpone the
operation for few days.
Last Monday while John Swenson
was fishing for few perch in Lake
Ripley, Hans Johnson of Deerfield,
deputy game warden, appeared on the
scene, and as Mr. Swenson had out eight
lines, which is more than the law al
lows, and this also being the closed sea-
son, the deputy confiscated his lines,
caused his arrest and ordered him to
appear before Justice c F Herbs at
Jefferson on Tuesday. By prearrange-
ment over the telephone ] w Porter
was allowed to appear for him. This
being the defendants first offense and
as he was only catching fish for his own
use, the justice was lenient and re-
mitted the fine with the understanding
that the defendant pay the costs. He
was also given warning not to repeat
the Offense.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca

New Explosive Ordered by
State.

Pittsburg, Pa. - Unsanctioned either
by National President Lewis, or by
the national executive board of the
United Mine Workers Of America,
10000 union miners probably will go
on strike in the Pittsburg district.
District leaders decreed the strike
after conference that has lasted two
days, between Pittsburg district mine
operators and union officials over the
use of black powder, the new explosive
ordered by the state in mining coal.
A proposition made during the con-
ference to have committee Of five
miners and five operators investigate
the use Of other permissible explo-
s!sses was bitterly. opposed by District
President Feehan and other local Of
ficers. Upon this proposition came the
wide split between the national and
district organiza tions, the miners de-
creeing by vote to stand by their dis
trict leaders.
President Lewis. asserted he would
hold another conference with the oper-
ators to settle the trouble. District
President Feehan declares, however,
that whether President Lewis holds
the conference or not, he will order
the men in his district to lay down
their tools.
