BOY HOLDS POLICE AT BAY
Seventeen-Year-old Sheboygan Lad
Threatens Mother and Fires on
Officers Seeking His Arrest.

Sheboygan. After threatening his
mother and sister, according to the
officers, and holding the police of
Sheboygan at bay with a shot gun,
Frank Dafropowski, aged II, fed to
Sheboygan Falls where he barricaded
himself in an abandoned building
and was arrested only after 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 a 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.

WOULD CREATE NEW COUNTY
Plan to Take Territory from Ash
land. Price and Sawyer Counties
and Make Park Falls Capital.

Madison.-Park Falls, Price coun-
ty, comes forward with a new county
scheme which affects the rearrange-
ment of northern Wisconsin geogra-
ply and unsettles the boundary lines
of at least four counties. The bill
will be introduced by Assemblyman
Urquhart and is designed to make
Park Falls county seat. This is
accomplished by detaching territory
from Price, Ashland and Sawyer
counties.
Ten townships are taken from
Price county, ten from Ashland and
four from Sawyer, which will consti-
tute the new county. In order to
make up for the territory taken, four
townships are added to Price county
and ten townships are taken from
Bayfield, county, and given to Ash
land county. The Apostle islands
now divided between Ashland and
Bayfield, counties are given to Bay.

The bill will be introduced by re-
quest and is likely to precipitate 2

Senator Hoyt introduces a Bill Pro-

Wisconsin Educators.

Madison.-A bill providing for a
teachers retirement fund for the
pedagogues of the state has been in
troduced in the legislature by Sena-
tor George E. Hoyt of Menomonee
Falls. In the main it is similar to
the bill which passed the legislature
two years ago, but which Gov. David
son vetoed. The retirement or pen
sion fund will be made up of appro-
priations by the state, levies on sal
aries of teachers and receipts from
several other sources. To be eligible
as a beneficiary under this bill a
teacher must have taught a certain
length of time, reached a certain
age, and contributed a certain
amount to the fund. The wisconsin
State Teachers association will ac-
lively urge the passage of the bill.

Has an Old Relic of WASHINGTON.

One of the most interesting relics of
George Washington is owned by the
city of Salem. 1t is a medallion in
wood, carved after sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
Intire. native genius with a gift for
portraiture He studied Washington
when the father of his country visited
Salem on his tour of the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward.
to adorn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington square, Salem.
Here the efiigy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an iron fence,
still in Use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
fireproof room at the Essex institute,
Salem. where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness of the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-Boston Globe.
