"the scurvy politician" ano challengeo
him to get from behind the protectlon

Penalty Of Thirty-Five Years for Rob-
bing Store at Fort Atkinson.
Decorah, Feb. 2s.-The heaviest pen
atty that has ever been pronouncad
upon a burglar in the north part Of the
state was pronounced upon John Ho-
gan by Judge Hobson in Winneshie1
county. He was given thirty-five years
for robbing Frank P. Chicks store at
Fort Atkinson. 1t was developed during
the trial that on Jan. 20, 1902, Hogan,
under the name of John Thornton, had
been convicted in Howard county on a
similar charge and had received a sen :
tence of eight years. He has been
taken to Fort Madison to save time.
AS he is now quite well advanced in
years, it is not thought that he will
ever live to serve his full term of pun
ishment.
