OF the several hundred people
who followed the nurderers
from their point of disembark-
alton to the train at the depot,
only three or four extremely ex-
citable persons caused the officers
any trouble. It is true, however,
that every man, woman, and
child, longtime friends Of John
Radcliffe, the slain officer, We're
wrought up to an almost uncon
trollable point OF hatred of the
wretc1es who SO needlesslv took
q life And it would not have
needed much to have broken that
self control which they exercised
over themselves, knowing that
any unnecessary violence to the
persons Of 1mperio and Roberts
w >uld but be a reproach upon
the wishes of the dead man, had
he been aliye and could have
spoken.
1t is a canard, and a direct in
suit to Eagle River and her citi-
zens for any person or any news
paper to make or have made such
a statement public that mob
violence was so imminent that
the officers were compelled to
fight their way with drawn guns
through the crowd to the depot
before they could get their pris-
oners again aboard the train"
It's true that the captors carried
guns openly, but it was not
for the express purpose of keep
ing d mob rom tearing to pieces
human beings, even though they
had violated the laws of God and
man and taken from us the best
and truest friend we, as COM
munity had ever known.
The murderers were taken to
Wausau under guard of j. {.

as far as Monico where they were
met by Sheriff Crofoot Of Oneida

/ perio broke loose and backed
around the corner of the building
towards an ice house. He pulled
revolver and opened fire 1t is
said Hanson was shot twice be
fore Radcliffe received his death
wound, falling in a heap near the
ice house. In the meantime Car.
ter had been under fire and Han
son receiving another bullet
dropped to the ground. The two
fellows jumped over the fence in
to a potato field back of the
Steinrnetz house, ran a few rods
north to the road by Johnson's
store, calling to Olnstead to
bring the team which was hitch
ed back of the depot. Olmstead
not complying, Imperio and
Roberts ran down the road
south to Twin creek bridge
where they entered the dense
brush and escaped.
The wounded men were carried
to the Steinmetz home and medi-
cal aid summoned Examina-
ton proved Radcliffe's wound to
| be fatal.
Posse Sent Out
Eagle River and Hackley inn
mediately sent up a posse to
work in conjunction with the
settlers and resorts III that sec
ton where the murderers were
hidden. An hour after the shoot
ing over a hundred armed men
were on the search.
The first report of men having
been seen came by telephone
about $50 o'clock from the
Adams resort. One had appear
ed in a clearing near that place
about four miles east ofConover,
and the settlers wife notified
Adams. Just about dusk the
men were seen by a boy to cross
the railroad track at Kizer's old
homestead, three miles north
east of Conover, towards Hack
ley. Members of the posse re-
manned on the watch all Thurs
day night covering the territory
from Watersmeet to Eagle River
and Friday the search was re-
sumed by larger force of men
than that of the day previous.
Burley Horn and j. H. Reno
together with a trained dog were
at Conover by Friday noon and
an attempt was made to put the
dog on the scent and run Imperio
AMI Roberts to earth. The terri
tory being SO large and not
knowing just in what section the
criminals then were, no track
was found fresh enough tor the
dog to work upon. The men
were in the woods east OF the
railroad track up to early Fri
day morning.
Visit Denton's Camp.
At eight o'clock Friday eve
ming Louis Denton, who had
been camping with a party at
Stormy lake FIVE miles west of
| Conover, drove III with party
of fishermen. The negro cook
for Denton's party informed
members of the posse at Conover
that at four o'clock that morn
ing two men had appeared at
camp and secured something to
eat, after which they had contin-
ued west to Star Lake. The cook
being the only one up in the
Denton camp had not informed
any of the party of the early
morning visit. Ills description
/ oiyen was identical with that OF
Imperio and Roberts.
Willing to Surrender
At eleven o'clock Friday night
Imperio and Roberts came to the
farm home of Aaron Reed, two
miles south of Conover and Sc
cured a lunch. The Reeds knew
them and early next morning
sent their boy Ralph to Conover
to give the alarm.
Thestory of the capture is best
told BY Harry B. Mcintyre who

Criminals Gain Foothold

The direct cause of the murder
ing of one Of Eagle Rivers citi-
zens and the wounding of anoth-
er, dates from a criminal class
said to be permitted BY the
khinelander officials to gain a
foothold in that city While this
NAV seem to be harsh measure
to apply to Rhinelander, still
from the admissions made last
week BY the Herald and News,
two of the leading papers Of that
city, and also telephone inter-
view Monday by the VilasCounty
News with a Rhinelander citizen,
one cannot doubt but that law
lessness of a lewd and vicious
character has been running I'M
trammeled there and that to the
knowledge and sanction of the
officers of the law. If this be
true, Rhinelander has laid at her
door the murder of John Rad
cliffe, a man of sterling qualities
and who never was known to
finch from a duty imposed upon
him. 1t was only from this trait
of an honest belief in human
nature that cost him his life. She
also can remember that the
wounding of John Hanson emf
mates from the same source.

Arrest White SIavers

Last Wednesday at Rhinelan-
der warrants were issued on com
plant of a young girl against
Tony Imperio and Philip Roberts
for detention against her will.
She charges them wi. h attempt
ing to sell her into white slavery.
Before the warrants were served
the two Italians hired an auto
and, accompanied by Fred Papi-
neau, drove to Eagle River; from
there to Conover, and within a
few hours the murder occurred.
Thursday night Joe lmperlo
and Fred Papineau were arrested
charged with being accessories
to the escape of the men. Their
bail was fixed at S7O0and $500.
1t is said they have left the coun-
try. The desperate character OF
this gang has long been known
to Rhinelander officials.
At 100 Friday morning Night
Waterman Murphy received
word that the dives Of Rhinelan-
der had been closed and a molly
bunch Of female inmates, accom-
panied BY Tony Martini. were
heading towards Eagle River
Murphy intercepted them two
miles out and turned them back.
A few hours later a touring car
containing officers from Rhine
lander arrived with Martini in
custody. He was jailed until
Monday night when he was

Crowd Well Under Control

Very little Of that violent
excitement which some misin-
formed persons have spoken OF
was shown at Eagle River when
the prisoners arrived. The train
was stopped at the crossing
north OF the railroad bridge, the
intention of the captors being to
take the prisoners by a shortcut
to the jail. The districtattorney
advised that they be. taken to
Wausau, as the incarceration Of
Imperio and Roberts III the jail
would tend to excite the dead
sheriff s,farnilv unnecessarily.

that since the troops have been NOV

INSURRECTOS PLACE No

New York, March 2O.-The first
news conveyed to Gustavo Madero.
the insurrectos' financial agent, of de-
Velopments in Mexico today, was con-
tanned in a newspaper dispatch from
El Paso and Mexico City tonight. A
dispatch from FL Paso telling of a
possible truce was eagerly read.
Senior Madero said he soon ex-
pected to hear of further develop
ments looking to peace and without
further comment turned to the dis
patch from Mexico City, telling of
the reception given Senior Limantour.

tos to lay down their arms" he said,

statement that there could be no me-

as long as the government insists
upon il we will never come to terms,
Diaz has never fulfilled his promise to
the people of Mexico; they have been
deceived not once. but a thousand
times within the last thirty years.
Senior Limantour is regarded as the
key to the situation by the insurrecto
leaders here. Gustavo Madero was
asked tonight if Senior Limantour
would be acceptable to them as pro-
visional president pending the enact
ment of reforms in Mexico.
I'VE would advise our party to ac-
cept any guarantee that Senor Ii
mantour might make he replied.
He knew of no other man in Mexico.
