BLAMES CONDITION TO DRUGS
Woman Runs Partially Clothed Thru
the Streets and is Terribly Cut in
Her Leap Through the Window of
the Zeihen Home.

Becoming suddenly and violently in
sane just after one O'Clock this morn
ing, Mrs. Mary Ramosky, aged 81
years, wife of Joseph Ramosky and
widely known among the Russian peo-
pie of the city ran through North Chi
cago street bare footed and partially
dressed and in an insane frenzy leaped
through the window at the home of
Mrs. Mary Zeihen at the corner of
North Chicago and Broad streets. She
was taken into custody by the police
at the Zeihen home and is being held
in the county Jail pending an examina-
tion for her sanity. It is expected
that she will be committed to the
Northern Hospital for the Insane by
Judge Taylor this afternoon. The hus-
band of the woman claims that her
condition is due to the excessive use
of drugs and whiskey. She had been
in usual health on Tuesday and had
done the family washing and arrang-
ed supper for the husband and their
three children. just after seven
o. clock the woman began to show signs
Of being insane, The husband and the
children had retired for the night when
the husband found that his wife was
pacing the floor. She had taken off
part of her clothing and was talking
incoherently. The man managed to get
her to the bed and for two hours
held her in bed. Later she again be-
gan to show signs of violence and for
three hours the husband fought against
her until he was entirely exhausted.
Then the woman broke one of the
doors of the house and fed out into
the street. AS soon as the husband
could he followed her, but could get
no trace Of her.
The woman went direct to the Zeihen
home and going to the rear Of the
house leaped through a window. The
breaking Of the glass aroused the
members of the family who believed
that the house had been entered by
burglars. They went into the kitchen
and found the woman on the floor
bleeding from dozen cuts made by
the broken glass She was cut about
the head, HANDS, arms and breast and
as soon as possible DR.. Thompson was
called to attend her.. The wounds were
dressed and the woman was later tax
en- to the county jail for safe keeping.
The husband this morning declared
to the police that his wife had been
i'll three years ago and that at that
time she had shown signs Of failing
mentality, but that in the past year she
had seemed to be in excellent health
Until she began using drugs.
The woman was raving at the jail
today and it was declared that her
condition was considered serious. :

ADMITS BIG THEATRE ROBBERY
Stops Trial After Jury Had Been
Called to Hea- the Case and Drama
tically Declares Himself "Guilty'
of she Sensational Crime.

Harry T Robinson, former Kenosha
saloonkeeper, whose escapades along
criminal lines have caused all sorts of
excitement for Kenosha people in the
past, is going Ito take long rest as
this morning he was taken to the Min
nesota state prison at Saltwater to be-
gin the service Of term of twenty
years after having entered a plea to
charges of highway robbery. Robin
son worn out from chase of months on
the part of the officials of several
states, finally lost his nerve and after
his trial was well under way before
Judge Orr in the district court at st.
Paul he startled the people in the
court room by jumping up and exclaim-
ing, go what s the use. I want to
plead guilty and get through with
it, Jurors were discharged and a
few minutes later Judge Orr gave Rob
inson term of twenty years at hard
labor Robinson made no comment on
the sentence and today he began his
long term Of penal servitude.
The sentence Of Robinson marks the
end of long career of violation of the
laws. Robinson had pretty clean
record when he came to Kenosha as a
saloonkeeper some twelve yf ars ago,
but after his coming to Kenosha he
soon began to be mixed up in gambling
operations in the city and he was final
ly forced out of business after his wife
had entered the saloon and broken a
goodly portion of the glassware with
revolver unerringly aimed. Rob
inson fed from Kenosha under
charges of having kidnapped his little
daughter and for years the wife and
Robinson fought for possession of the
child until she, was placed in the keep
ing Of the Sisters Of Charity in Chi
cago. Robinson was alleged to have
been one of the men mixed up in the
robbery of the Rector Cafe in Chicago,
but he was never convicted on this
charge.
Two weeks ago detectives from st.
Paul foundA< Robinson in Chicago and
arrested him on a charge of having
been the ringleader of a gang which
pulled off a sensational robbery of the
box office of the Schubert Theatre in
ST. Paul last January. The robbers
got away with $4,000 in money and it
was months before any line on their
identity was found. One of the mem
bers of the gang is alleged to have
squealed on Robinson and after his
confession the detectives managed to
pick Robinson up in Chicago.
For years the former Kenosha sa-
loon man was known as EFThe Gambler
With the White Hat" and it is said he
made vast sums in Chicago by gambling
operations. Robinson was down and
out when he was taken to st. Paul
but at that he denied any connection
with the robbery Of the theatre and a
former friend had arranged to pro-
vide for his defense when he startled
them by pleading guilty.
Robinson s wife, who was daught-
er of Carl Skotski Of this city, is now
living in Chicago and it is declared
that the life that her husband led
caused her to secure a legal separation
from him several years ago.

SEEK WOMAN AS ACCOMPLICE
Girl Taken by the Police as Runaway
Tells Court Story of Crime but Can
Not Tell Identity of Parties to
It.

Nellie Larsen, fourteen years of age
and alleged to have been neglected
child, told Judge Randall a pathetic
story in the municipal court on Tues
day evening and her story may result
in arrests in one of the most sensa-
tional cases known to the municipal
court in Kenosha county. The little
girl who is small for her age and evil
IDENTIFY poorly nourished claims that she
was the victim of criminal assault
in Kenosha last September. She al
legged that she was assaulted by a re-
cruit from the Naval Training Station
at Lake Bluff and that the crime was
committed in the yards about the Dur
kee school building.
The girl told the court the whole
story of her life. She is just fourteen
years of age and she came here from
Denmark when child. She had a
step-mother and she lived with her in
Racine until she was grossly misused
by her step-brother who later was sent
to one of the state institutions by a
Racine court. After the young girl
came to this city she secured employ
ment in local factory and she work
ed here until last Friday when she is
alleged to have gone to Chicago with
Anna Schroeder and Angelina Bower
with view of going on the stage.
Tho parents of the child seem to have
lost all interest in her ana they have
expressed a willingness to have her
sent to some corrective institution.
The girl claims that on the night she
was criminally assaulted by the re-
cruit from the naval trf ming school
she had met woman, unknown to her
on the street, and that this woman
had introduced her to the recruit and
had asked the girl to take walk
with them. She declares that the wom-
an later had a part in the criminal as
sault. The story of the Larsen girl
is being fully investigated by the
court and by the sheriff. The girl de.
cle.res that she does not know the name
of the recruit who assaulted her as her
eyes were blinded at the time and she
was unable to learn his name after
ward. She declares that she knows
the woman who took her away by
sight but that she does not know her
name.
The police and Judge Randall be-
lieve that the same woman has contri-
buted to the delinquency of other
young girls in KenoSha and every pos
sible effort is made to secure her ar
rest. 1t is claimed that the woman
has made frequent trips to Kenhsha
and she is thought to be one of the
Chicago women who have been active
in the "white slave" traffic.
The hearing of the three girls was
adjourned until Thursday and in the
meantime police officers in several
cities are making an effort to learn the
identity and secure the arrest of the
woman in the case.
In the past two months more than
half dozen Kenosha girls have been
lured from Kenosha on promises Of
places on the stage or work of some
other nature in large cities and it is
thought that this woman has been
connected with all of the cases. Thus
far she has been able to completely
hide her identity. It is thought that
she took two girls TO Highland Park
a week ago and then deserted them.

WILL BE- GREAT WHEAT FIELD
That is What a Prominent Miller
ThinkssNevada il. Destined
Eventually to Become.

John T. Smellie of Rexburg, ID, was
in Fallon yesterday in the interest OF
the Rexburg Milling Co., of which he Is
one of the principals. Mr.. Smellie 10 an
authority on dry-land farming, and At
ter having Travelled through this state
great deal he is strongly of the opinion
that Nevada is to be one Of the big
wheat-producing sections of the coun-
try.
Nevada will yet become a great
wheatfield," said Mr.. Smellie in dis
cussing the subject. with an immense
acreage of ideal land that would GER
tainly produce big crops under intensive
methods of cultivation. Summer faliow
is the proper method of wheat farming
on these lands. Conserve the moisture
prop erly and the result will surprise
most people
I'm Alberta province, Canada, have
seen such extraordinary results from
proper tillage as do not seem credible
to persons not familiar with the possi-
biHties Of that sort of fnrming. In Id
aho, on the Rexburg bench lands, the
farmers harvest from 80 to so bushels
of wheat per acre, with an annual rain
fall Of about IL inches. Likewise many
other crops, including sugar beets, are
successfully produced on dry lane"
The opinion of Mr.. Smellie Is partic-
ularly forceful, in view of the fact that
four years ago he won the prize offered
by the Canadian government for the
best result attained in wheat produc-
tion on dry land. An average yield
was secured of 63 bushels per acre.
The ground was on the yelling farm,
near Raymond, and the ground was
summer fallowed, the grain sown in
August. narrowed twice during the fall
season and twice in the spring, the last
narrowing being when the grain was
four or five inches high. Sto0ling result
ed to such an extent that ninety stocks
were counted from single grain, and
with only thirty pounds OF seed sown to
the acre the field was very thick at har-
vest time.
Nevada farmers who will heed the
advice of experienced and successful
soil-tillers such as this Idaho millman
will be in the advance Of the new agri-
cultural prosperity that seems to have
set in for this state.
