HERMAN PODAWlLTz ON
TRIAL FOR LARCENY

THE DEATH OF AN EXILE

The fact that a man lives in a log
cabin does not prove that he is a
hlockhead
1t is pretty hard in any part of
the world, and especially in the
United States, 10 tell by the looks
OF the outside OF a house the char
acter and intellectual caliber of the
man who lives on the inside.
Thirtyfive miles west of Grand
Rapids on the Green Bay and West
ern Railway there is a jumping off
place called Pray. One mile west
of this place, near the railroad track,
in the midst Of burned pine stunps,
stands a little cottage in which there
was a funeral service Iast Saturday.
A man named George Ref had died
at the age of SO. years. He was grad
uate of Augsburg college and Munich
University, man who amused him
self during his spare moments by
reading the poems of Homer and the
philosophical writings of Aristotle in
the original Greek and the history of
Tacitus in Latin. In 1848 he took
part in an unsuccessful instruction
against the absolutism of Macmillan
II. During the anti-libera1 reaction
that followed this insurrection he
fled to the United States. For forty
years he served as a clergyman in
the Lutheran church, but his last
years were spent near that desc
late jumping off place, called Pray.
When you go west on the Green
Hay road you may see the little cot
tage in which this democratic scholar
died, an exile from his native land
on account of his political liberalism.

eral times. said this afternoon that

with Roeske, having stopped with
him at his restaurant in Hancock sew
eral times, said this afternoon that
shortly after two o'clock last Tues
day afternoon Roeske came to him
while he was at work in the
bottling house of the Purdy drug
company and asked him to go to the
bank with him to cash a couple of
checks, as he had been to the bank
but they had refused to cash his
checks without Identification. Alder
man Schieffelbein went to the First
National Bank with Roeske and ident
fled him. The size of the checks
Roeske cashed surprised me, said Al
derman Schieffelbein, and 1 told him
After identifying him Alderman
Schieffelbein says he returned to his
work leaving Roeske in the bank,
and that was the last he saw of
him. He says Roeske said that he
was going to buy some cattle and
farm with the money he got at
the bank. T he bank officials said
this afternoon that the amount of
money Roeske drew from the bank
Tuesday was S2,150, two checks of
$500 each and two drafts, one on
Chicago bank for $3.50 and one CD
Milwaukee bank of $780,"
Tuesdays Democrat states: The
general belief here, now, is that
Roeske wrote the letter from a barn
some place near Portage after being
taken out of the city in a carriage
or an automobile" as he writes. The
officials at the Wisconsin Central
depot say that they cannot remember
seeing an automobile any where abou
the depot a week ago nor has any
one in the city reported seeing a
strange auto that day. Several, how
ever, report seeing strange auto
passing through the city Wednesday
morning, April %, going west, but
that'is all that can be learned
Mrs. Roeske has offered reward
of 500 for information leading to
the discovery of her husband. She
is satisfied that the letter was in
his hand writing and says that the
reference to an attempted hold-up
east of this village a year ago is
true.
The family lived on their large
farm in South Deerfield until last
year when they sold out for $4,000
and moved to this village. Here Mr..
Roeske bought stock for time.
Later he purchased the City Hotel
Restaurant which he recently sold.
He also made several other deals on
nearly all of which seems he lost
money. 1t now developes that he
owes several thousand dollars, part
of which was recently borrowed and
is not secured Still it is thought
he had means to much more than
pay all debts. He has always been
a hard-working man, was considered
strictly honest, and his home life
was supposed to be happy. Opinion
varies as to his disappearance. Some
believe all the statements in the
letter. Others thing that worrying
over unfortunate business transac.
tons has left him mentally unbaL
anced and that the letter is largely
a matter of imagination. 1t is also
suggested that he may have gone on
visit to the old country In any
event the suspense is most distress

Not So Fast, Mr.. President

Tit speech Of President Taft at
WinOna, Minnesota, was a queer
bunch of inconsistency. In the
first place he cOnfesSes that the
bill does not approve itself in his
judgment, especially mentioning
the wooden schedule, which he de-
clares to be too high and which
he was evidently lOath to approve
Then he goes on to declare it is
the best tariff law ever enacted
an unnecessary reflection upon
both the Mckinley and Dingley
laws and which may or may not
be true.-LyOns Republican.

and some money, by writing out
checks on the Brinkman bank of
Great Bend. When he first came
to. town hecalled on C. l. Collins
of the Frizzell Auto Co. and rep
resented himself as a farmer liv-
ing in the vicinity of Great Bend
and said he was thinking Of buy
ing an automobile. He stated he
had some horses which he wish

q machine, and asked to have the
automobile demonstrated Mr..
Collins gave him all the infOrma-
ton asked for about the car, aud
the man told him that he expect
ed to come back to Larned in a
short time and close the deal for
the car.
He then visited several stores
in town, and would make a pur
chase of some article, and tender
check as payment, tie check 9l-
After further investigation it wa

the price of the article purchased
and he would ask for the differ
snce in cash claiming to be a lit

lived near Great Bend, and had
money in Brinkman's bank.
After he had cashed several
Ohecks, one of the merchants tel
sphOned to Great Bend and learn
