BOY HOLDS POLICE AT BAY
Seventeen-Year-Old Sheboygan Lad
Thr eatens Mother and Fires on
Officers Seeking His Arrest.

REORGANIZATION threatening his
mother and sister, according to the
officers, and holding the police of
Sheboygan at bay with shot gun
Frank Dafropowski, aged II. fed to
Sheboygan Falls where he barricaded
himself in an abandoned building
and was arrested only after a revolv
er battle.
The police were called by his moth
er, who declared to them that her
son had threatened her and her
daughter.
When they arrived to place the
youth under arrest, he lodged into
closet and reappeared with shot
gun. Threatening them with death,
he drove the officers, August Pulls and
Arthur Hoberg, from the house, and
as they retreated, fired twice, neither
shot taking effect. He then fed and
was finally cornered in an abandoned
building near Sheboygan Falls.
When darkness made it possible
to approach the building without de-
lection, Chief of Police Scheck, to
distract Dafropowski's attention, fired
fusillade of bullets through the
roof of the building.
His ruse succeeded, for while the
prisoner awaited an attack through
the roof, a door was battered down
and the officers surrounded and dis
armed him.
The youth, who has been in the
hands of the police before. is said to
be more powerful physically than
many men.

New Wall Paper.

The principal beauty OF the new pa
pers lies in the lovely colors. Some of
the prettiest are almost plain, but not
quite so. The absolutely plain papers
have not the depth of color and varie-
ty that we find in those with a slight
figure of some kind, even II 1t is only
a line The hairline stripes are still
with us. but they have improved these
by breaking the stripes with tiny self
toned figures. There is one lovely gray
paper, a hair-line broken here and
there with a little gray rose. A beauti-
full lavender paper also has a hair
line background but It is broken up
into diamonds. The charm lies in the
beautiful color.-Harper Bazaar.
