BIC SERV|TE FEAST
SUNDAY, SEPT. IS, WILL BE
SOLEMNLY CELEBRATED
FEAST OF OUR LADY OF SORROWS
Catholics Flock to Servite Churches
to Gain Plenary lnduIgences

Next Sunday, Sept. 18th. will be
selemnly celebrated in ST. Mary's
church, Ladysmith. 1t will be the
feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, the
order of the Servite Fathers.
1t was under the patronage of the
Blessed Virgin, honored under the
title of Our Lady of Sorrows, that
the Servite order was originally
founded, and one of the chief aims
of the order has always been to
spread devotion to Mary under the
above title, their desires in this re-
gard having been encouraged by the
successive popes of the Catholic
church. From time to time the popes
have granted special indulgences and
favors to the faithful who practice
this devotion.
In the year 1883, when the seven
founders of the Servite Order were
solemnly canonized, that is, declared
Saints of the Catholic church, the
then reigning Pope Leo XIII, in to-
ken of his appreciation of the devo-
ton for which the Holy Founders
had worked so faithfully, solemnly
decreed that henceforth on the feast
of Our Lady of Sorrows, which al
ways comes on the third Sunday in
September, plenary indulgence
should be granted to all the faithful
who, having confessed their sins and
received Holy Communion on that
day would visit and pray in any
church belonging to the Servite Or
der. He also decreed that the above
indulgences might be granted as Of
ten as the church would be visited
and that the indulgences so gained
might be applied to the souls in
Purgatory.
Hence in all places where the Ser
Eite' Fathers have churches the feast
is celebrated with solemnity and
Catholics never fail to flock to these
churches.

TONY YOUNG MAN IN ROBBERY
The Night Operator Took the Money
Will Be Sentenced by Judge
Park

| Arcnlo 1anKe, dSou 10, c1uplOy Gu
as night operator for the 500 Line
at Fremont, has been arrested on a
charge of burglarizing the 500 depot
a. Fremont on the morning of Sep
tember 5.
BY a strange coincidence the rob-
berry of the Fremont depot took place
on the same day of the month and
almost the same hour that the Vel
vet Special was wrecked just year
ago.
On the morning of Sept, 5, Super
intendent C. NJ Winter at the divi-
sion headquarters at North Fond du
Lac was notified that two highway
men had held up the night operator
at Fremont and robbed the cash
drawer of the station of it's contents,
$143.35.
Detective Dunn was assigned to
the case, arriving at Fremont, at IL
o'clock that morning. Yanke, the
night operator, was at the station
and in relating the story of the hold
up said that he was engaged in do
ing some dispatching at 2:30 O'clock
in the morning when he felt hand
placed on his shoulder. Turning about
he saw two men in the room with
him, one of them having revolver.
They demanded the keys of the cash
drawer, but Yanke did not have
them. They then searched him and
not finding the keys, forced the
drawer open and took the bag con-
tanning the money and then fled,
going towards Gill's Landing.
Detective Dunn suspected Yanke
and the latter knew he did as he
later admitted. The detective did
not Immediately arrest the boy, but
went to Waupaca, where he had a
warrant issued. The warrant was
placed in the hands of deputy
sheriff who arrested Yanke. Later
the detective went to the jail to see
Yanke and it was there that Yanke
detailed the fake hold-up plan. He
pried open the cash drawer with a
knife, breaking the blade as he did
so. He then took the money and hid
it in the loft of the station. 1t was
recovered.
1t was the finding of the broken
knife blade beneath the operators
table in the station and the added
fact that the wife of the regular day
operator and two other women who
were sleeping in a room in another
part of the station did not hear a
sound when the alleged robbery took
place that caused the detective to
suspect Yanke.
When arraigned in court at Wau-
paca, Yanke waved examination and
was bound over to trial at the next
term of circuit court. He has asked
permission to appear before the cir
cult Judge at once, pleading guilty
and have sentence imposed upon him.
In accordance with the requset he
will probably be brought before Judge
Park for sentence.
| Yanke has been in the employ OF
the 500 for two months. He resides
at Tony, a small hamlet six miles
east of Ladysmith, where his father
is superintendent of a lumber mill
