B. J. Clifford, alias Commodore Per
ry Hull, who recently attempted to
defraud two local banks, has been ar

tOdy he and his baggage were searched
and a certificate of deposit was found
on him. The bank officials who were
communicated with, notified the au-
thOrities to hold him for swnidling
and also on a charge of stealing a
diamond ring while in that city.
After leaving WatertOwn he went
to Chicago and secured $210 from a
bank there. He then went to Toledo

Last week we called attention to the
fact that at the coming September pri-
mary election Fred I. MittenMyler of
this city will be a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for the assembly
from this, the First Assembly district
for Jefferson county. Mr.. Wittenwyler
is most excellent young man, possessed
of good abilities, clean and honorable in
his life and a republican who believes
fully in the traditions, policies and prin-
ciples of his party, and can be trusted to
do the right thing at the right time
socially and politically. He is home
man, and entitled to more consideration
at the hands of the local voters than a
stranger and should he be nominated
and elected will make faithful repre-
sentative in the legislature.

Communication.

To the Editor of the Leader:-I saw
in your last weeks paper, that some
party is trying to get subscribers to a
petition to pardon All. Schissler. Also,
the fearless and honorable stand a fellow
citizen took in the matter, for which,
| wish to heartily thank him as it was a
noble act and duly appreciated. Now
comes the Daily Times, intimating that
my son deserved his fate and Schissler
did the right thing and ought to be par
dOned, for he has served more than
enough for the crime committed. II
these hirelings of Schissler had attended
court at the time of trial, they would
know better; or if they wish to leard
facts, the courts record will still show
them. But there is no doubt that they
know we'll enough. 1t is the thirty sill
yer pieces which they are after, no mat
ter how blOod-stained. 1t is shame
and disgrace that city officer should
SO lower himself as to do such low and
despicable act. Cannot they let the
thing rest? The hearts that are but
partially healed, they tear open with
their ruthless hands and tread them
down-and all for bloodstained money.
The innocent boy while dying prayed
for his murderer. Does that show that
he was bad and deserved his fate?
Thank God, we are old and will soon fol-
low him to better home, where there
will be peace and rest. Then let each
one answer for the ruin he has wrought
and the wrongs he has committed.

Remembered by Friends

Some friend of Frank E. McGovern
caused a, large banner to be suspended
yesterday above Main street at it's inter-
section with First. Upon the banner
was painted in large letters, which
could be seen long distance, the follow
ing. "For Governor, Frank E. McGovern,
Republican, Wisconsin Idea, Progressive
and Fearless" Mr.. McGOvern is one of
the ablest among the several candidates
and should he be nominated and elected
would make an ideal governor.
The banner however, did not hang
very long, as it was ordered taken down
by Mayor CRUDE, it being in violation of
a city ordinance.

Will Investigate

An investigation will be made by
District Attorney Charles A. A. Nc
Gee of Milwaukee to fix the respOn-
sibility for the death of Edward
Mueller of Watertown, electrOcuted
in the sub-station at West Allis.
Negligence on the part of someone,
it is said, was responsible for the
death of Mueller. The young man
was repairing the cable conducting
the entire output from the power
plant in Kilbourn city to Milwaukee,
when suddenly the entire current of
$4,000 volts was turned into the wire,
killing the man instantly.
1t is said that before Mueller under
took to repair the cable orders were
issued to the effect that the current
should be cut off until signal was
given to turn it on again. In direct
violation of this order, it is said, the
full current was turned into the
wires just before the repairing was
completed.
The district attorney, it is said,
was requested to make a complete in
vestigation into the case by employees
of the system, as they claim four per
sons have been shocked so far this
year in the same manner, although
this is the first fatality. The inquest
will be held Wednesday afternoon at
3 o'clock, when the district attorney
will personally examine the witness
