FAMILY IS CLAD
KLUCER IS HELD
Junk Dealer Had Threatened
Members of Household When
They Did Not Agree.
TWICE IN PENITENTIARY
Sent to Joliet for Thefts of Wire and
Brass from Railroads-Escapes
While Trusty.

B. F. Kluger, 617 Eighth street,
who is being held at the county jail
in default of bonds amounting to
$4,000 on charges of burglary and
larceny and assault with intent to
murder in connection with the SEN
sational hide stealing episode which
occurred in the west end of the city
early Nov. 10, is a man with a long
criminal record. Ten years ago he
was sentenced to an indeterminate
term in the state penitentiary at Jol-
let after having been convicted of
some of the most daring robberies
ever pulled off in this part of the
country. He was in the junk bust
ness at that time with a yard on
Fifth avenue and Fortieth street. In
systematic manner he stole brass
from the railroads that run through
here and also from the street rail-
way company. In one night he stole
three miles of copper trolley wire
from the street car company and this
act finally led to his arrest.
Escapes From Pen.
After being sent to Joliet, Kluger
apparently decided TO reform and he
so expressed himself. The prison
authorities gave him every chance
in their power and finally made him
q "trusty'' about the place-that is
he was put upon his honor not to at
tempt to escape. One day he secret
ed himself in a wagon which was
boxes out of the penitentiary
and in this way made his escape
a hunted man with a price upon his
head and for a time the whole po-
lice force of the state were on his
trail with the result that after sew
eral months he was again arrested
and taken back to the penitentiary
where he was decorated with the ball
and chain, the insignia Of those who
attempt to escape from the place.
ImprisOned I'm Iowa.
He was finally released by order
from the board of pardons after he
had been in the penitentiary five
years, but he did not remain free
long. The Iowa authorities had not
punished him for the crimes commit
ted on that side of the river and
they got after him at once and with
papers took him to Iowa,
where he was tried and sentenced
to term at the Anamosa peniten-
tiary. He was released from there
only short time ago. His imprison-
ment has done nothing other than to
sour him upon his fellowmen and
he has become most vindictiVe. He
states that he will do up" Detective
Theodore Peterson of the Rock Is
land road for the share he took in
his arrest, provided the chance is Of
fered him. He also threatens to get
even with some of the other officers.
Is Always Armed.
Kluger rarely goes about unarmed
and he makes use of a revolver to

minutes for Mr.. Peek. He coolly asked
the physician what he demanded,
whereupon DR.. Lamping repeated his
story and said that it would take $685.
900 to satisfy him. The whole CONVEX
satfon was heard by the officers, and
when they had enough to prove a case
against Lamping they rushed in upon
him and seized him. He was taken on
the o'clock train to Peoria.
Naturally there is much sympathy,

soning.

accomplish anything he desires He
has even threatened to shoot mem
bers of his own family when they
displease him in any way, and the re-
spectacle members of his family are
pleased at the prospect that their
lord and master faces a long term in
the penitentiary. KIuger's heartless-
ness is shown by his demeanor when
his son, George, was shot in the bat
tie with the officers on the night of
the hide-stealing. Officer Bennett had
fired off his revolver at shadows
which he saw fitting across the road
some distance away from him and
which he suspected to be the bold
burglars making their escape. After
the fusilade from his automatic, he
heard a muttered curse and a voice
said "let him lie there 1t was
George Kluger who was shot through
the leg and it was his father who
spoke. George managed to make his
escape, however, although his wound
played a large part in the final work
ing out of the mystery.
Under Doctors Care
The police found that one of the
Klugers was being treated by a ply
stefan and means were taken to learn
the nature of the injury. When 1t
was found to be bullet wound, the
officers knew they were on the right
track. George confessed at the po-
lice station in the presence of his
father and the elder Kluger merely
sneered and remarked that the boy
was probably suffering with brain
fever" Later on he, too, confessed,
although he still continued defiant.
George has been taken to st. An
thongs hospital where a deputy
sheriff is guarding him. James Slo-
cum, another member of the party,
is at the county Jail with Kluger in
default of bonds amounting to
$4,000.

few years ago and he suffered total
blindness. During his railroad days
there was no better known or more
popular engineer on the Iowa division
Of the Rock Island than he. Generous
Of heart. genial towards his fellows, he
was loved by all who knew him. In
his years of invalidism he never lost
his cheerfulneSs, and there was not a
day that he did not have at his home
