BODY OF
NOTORIOUS CROOK
FOUhblAYARD
Police Think "Yawke Pete" Was
Beaten To Death and Corpse
Dragged To Rear of Holtx's
Saloon on Fort-St. East.
Victim Was Once Known a Safe
Cracker, But "Degenerated' Into
."Doormat Thief"

Detectives and Coroner Rothacher
are vainly trying to solve the mystery
OF the death Of "Yawke Pete" one
time yeggman and desperate char
acter, but OF late years known to the
police as ''doormat thief"
His dead body was found In the
yard In the rear OF John Holtz's sa-
loon, No. 169 Fort-st. east. about $3.50
o'clock Monday morning His eyes
were blackened and swollen, his nose
was fractured and his features lacer-
ated and swollen.
His tattered coat was pulled over
his head and the police think that he
was pulled into the yard after he had
been beaten to death or to insensibil.
ity.
Nobody seems to know the victims
right name. He was identified by
Charles Kohn, bartender In Elm
heiser's saloon. Kohn says that Pete"
was In the saloon at about 10 o'clock
Saturday morning and that he got
into a fight with stranger then. Pete
was struck several times. but Kohn
says he was not injured enough to
cause any loss Of blood.
Several OF the older detectives from
the central station later identified the
body as "Yawke Pete" a man who
has served several prison terms and
was known as one of the cleverest
safe blowers In the country. Later in
his life, the police say. he "degener.
ated" into petty crook. He was
about 45 years old.
Mary Regas, an inmate Of one Of the
Hastings-st. tenements, discovered
the body at $3.50 o'clock and notified
police headquarters. The flying
squadron responded. but gave little
heed to the case, thinking the death
was the result of alcoholism.
When the coroner made super
flcial examination. he found strong
evidences Of foul play and conferred
with Capt. Mcdonnell, which caused
the police investigation to be removed.
The bartender in Holtz's saloon told
the police that Pete" was stranger
to him. Another man living In the
vicinity declared he had seen Pete
and stranger drinking whisky from
a pop bottle sunday afternoon.
Coroner Rothacher has ordered a
post mortem examination. which will
be held Monday afternoon.

ENGINEERS MAY Be
INSTRUCTED HERE
Plan Under Way To Have University
Establish Chair in Detroit, With
Resident Professor.

As the result of a meeting, Sunday,
In Ann Arbor, between representa-
tives of the United Steam Engineers
Of Detroit and the faculty OF the
engineering department of the Uni
versity of Michigan, Detroit will prob
ably be made the seat of chair Of
stationary engineering operations,
with a resident instructor. The plan
Is for three-year course OF instruc-
ton, leading to certificate OF pro-
ficiency.
The movement is the result OF long
consideration on the part of the
steam engineers Of Detroit, compris-
ing six bodies belonging to different
national associations, who have their
joint meeting place In the Wayne
County Savings bank building. The
proposition for q course of instruction
under university auspices was taken
eral weeks ago, and was presented by
him to meeting OF the board OF rS-
gents, Oct. Z.
At the meeting In Ann Arbor, Sun
day, were Charles A. Ellis. II. q. Jac-
ques, Alex. Warner. Russell Burrows,
Charles Merry and ]. c. McCabe, Of
the United Steam Engineers: j. H.
Devisser, a graduate of the engineer
ing department, and Dean M. Z. Cool
ey of the engineering department Of
the university; Henry c. Anderson,
professor OF mechanical engineering;
Benjamin F. Bailey, professor Of elec-
trical engineering; Joseph A. Burs-
ley, James A. Meyer assistant
In the mechanical engineering:
William l.. Miggett, professor Of
shop practice; Herbert c. Sadler, pro-
fessor of naval architecture and ma
rine engineering: Edward M. Bragg.
assistant in marine engineering:
Charles s. Dennison, professor Of
|stereotomy; Thomas Hopwood, super
intendent Of power plant, and Alfred
II. White, professor Of chemical en-
gineering.
Dean Cooley expressed great pleas
ure that the stationary engineers had
started such a movement, and promis.
ed the cooperation Of the university.
II have long felt that as everybody
cannot come to the university, the
university should 60 to the public,
said Dean Cooley. I'VE did not feel
justified In starting the movement
ourselves, but now that It has been
started by the engineers, we shall do
all in our power to further It."
Dean Cooley will lay the matter be.
fore the faculty Nov. IS, and expects
that q university instructor will be
stationed In Detroit, who will give
daily lessons In the association rooms,
while occasional lectures will be Civ.
en- by the other members of the
faculty. Carl S. Pearse. of Denver,
Col, president of the National Asso-
citation Of Steam Engineers, has been
greatly interested In the movement
and 1t is expected that the lectures
given by the instructor In Detroit will
be published and circulated through
out the membership OF the organiza-
ton. Fourteen hundred engineers
will be benefited In Detroit alone.

bank. If he has forgotten to bring
something for anchorage he finds
the biggest rough boulder he can find,
and, after batting about a dozen or two
hooks that hang from the rope, he ties
the boulder on the end and heaves the
whole thing into the river, having first
tied the other end to a tree on shore.
The rest is easy. The catfish, buffalo
and redhorse are not nearly so impulsive
and aristocratic as the trout, but they
have hunger and curiosity that lead
them to destruction. While the fish
erman lounges in the shade and tries to
make up the sleep he lost in taking his
early morning excursion, the fish are
getting on familiar terms with the bait
and advertising to their friends up and
down the stream that it's there. They
are foolish, too, and after an hour or
two in the presence of temptation, cur
iosity, hunger and inclination to take
what appears to be easiest to get gets
the best Of them. A jab in the jaw by
the hook is not enough to overcome the
obstinacy of the old side-wheeler, and
he stays with it till his cheek sticks out
like an Alabama coon's filed with fresh
or the morsel is tucked away
in his inner anatomy. The fisherman
awakes in time to save the tree being
pulled into the river A hurried move
and he gets a half hitch on a nearby
oak with the slack of the line, and
with the pulley he begins to reel him in.
If the fish draws not over two feet of
water the fisherman gets him to the bar
and then wades out and rides him to |
shore before he soakes him in the head |
with the axe. Fish that draw more
than two feet of water, especially the
long-thorn catfish, usually
nave to be killed at the bar and then
ragged to shore with the block and /
.ackle. 1t is a mans job, and if a boy
hooks such a fish. he goes for assist
nee to the nearest house.
So, we say, fishing is different at diff
'erent times and places.
Back along the Red Cedar river in
.owa fishing is different now from what
t was when the writer was a freckle-
'aced boy with a stubbed toe, a waxed
wine line and a pin hook. We blame
{ to high living. A fisherman has to
ave a pair Of hip boots and fourteen
lollar pole and a acknowledgements
inen line. The choicest sirloin at "A
.ents pound is none too good. and a
tore fly with gaudy wings and well
Upholstered body is quite the style to
Use. We wonder why this change in
he art Of fishing Can il be that the
ribe raised at the government hatch
.ries have imbibed some Of the aesthetic
astos Of a millionaire trust and things
laye got TO the point where everybody
must pay the price or 60 without fish
nd the sport Of catching them.
