TWO INSANE STRANGERS
ARE HELD AT%ABERDEEk

Aberdeen S. D., Sept. 13.-In a mys-
sterious character picked up at Groton,
apparently 3demented. and brought to
Aberdeen. the authorities here thought
they had Guy Bellows. the missing
iWoonsocket drayman. This. however.
appears not to be the case, for the
stranger, while about Bellows age, and
resembling the description of Bellows
appearance closely, has no scar on the
back Of the neck as Bellows had. The
stranger also consents to write his
name, and On ZACH of several occasions
that he has written it, he has written
1t exactly the same. The name as
written. by him is "Mavric Franc Pad
vinc,',s Indicating that he is of a Sla-
woman origin.
Another insane stranger was taken
In charge at Hecla yesterday. He
gave his name as Dick Riordan. He
is apparently AZ or 80 years OF age,
tall. and with dark hair and a dark
beard n blue eyes. He talks volubly,
telling many wild tales. but does not
state: where his home is or whence he
came.

RATHER STOOD GUARD
AT CAPITOL BUILDING

Pierre, S. D., Sept. 1.-THE night
guard at the capitol building was lately
reinforced by a big r~attlesnake, which
helped guard the west door from the
marauding public. Several people
coming from the west door on the low

Several other, but harmless, snakes
have been found at various times on
the grounds, coming down from the
hills and ravine, undoubtedly, which
are but a block distant from the capt.
toll, and the recent extraordinarily hot
and dry weather seems to send an oc-
castonal stray rattler or other snake
within the town limits.

mona. He declares that this is the first

tuition and be released on parole. 1t IS
probable that if restitution is made
that he will be given chance to make
good.

Formal demand is being made on
Sheriff F. w. B. Achen for the enforce
ment of tbs truancy laws in kenosha
county and the Industrial Comm ion
at Madison is preparing list Of truant
pupils in the schools of the city and

to it that the parents of all these chill
dren are arrested and brought into court
to answer charges of contributing to
the delinquency of the children. 1t is
said that the Industrial Commission
will see to it that the work of cleaning
up truancy in Kenosha county is done
in a systematic manner. School Off
Gals in every town in the county have
furnished the commission with lists
showing the truancy statistics and
these lists have been carefully followed
in sending out names of parents who
are to be prosecuted. It is said that

cases of truancy than the city districts

effort to force the parents Of children
residing in the rural districts to remain
in school for the time demanded by the

ably be aimed at the parents of a girl
in the town of Salem who has been
twice reported to the state commission

school. Under the law the parents will
be liable to heavy fine and imprison-
ment if the fine is not paid. 1t is said

surviving her injuries. He insisted
that should the young woman survive
she would never be able to speak
again. Markowich shows improvement
today. He ate some supper on Tues
day evening and took hearty break
fast this morning. Physicians at
tending him insist that he is simply
suffering from the excitement of the
shooting and that he will be all right

LEFT UNCONSCIOUS IN ROAD
Was on His Way to Railway Station
When Holdup Men Accosted Him and
Took His Money and Tickets-Chir
cago Police Show Little Interest.

Kenosha has broken into the bandit
game in Chicago as Eugene McCauley,
employed at the offices of Kaelber and
Kraft had the distinction of meeting
the daring holdup men in Chicago on
Sunday night and he returned to Ke-
nosha Monday afternoon wearing a
decorated face as a result of his meet
ing with two men who "stuek him
up" and relieved him of money and
other valuables
McCauley had spent the day with
relatives in Chicago and was hurry
ing to Northwestern train when ha
met the two men who robbed him,
The robbery took place on Madison
street, one of the busiest streets in
Chicago, at the entrance to an alley
between franklin and Market streets.
There was no by-play with the robbery
SO far as McCauley was concerned,
He was walking along the street and
without any warning the two men
stepped out of the alley. One of them
let go at him with his fist while the
other one struck him with some blunt
instrument and he went down for the
count. The men hurriedly frisked bis
clothes, securing little over three
dollars in money and a railway ticket.
McCauley was left unconscious on the
sidewalk and few minutes later he
was found by pedestrians. A police
Office o9srs hi14 to nearby sA8tios
and he told the story Of the robbery.
He got little satisfaction from the DO.
lice as they advised him that they had
from twelve to twenty reports of SINH
lar robberies every night in the week.
McCauley was taken to doctor
and had his bruised face taken care
of and he spent most of Monday seek
ing to give the police some aid in To-
eating the men who had robbed him.
MeCauley declared this morning that
he had never seen either of the men
who robbed him and that he was TAX
en- entirely off his guard. The place
where the robbery took place is one
of the most prominent corners in Chi.
cage and thousands of people pass the
point nightly.
The experience of McCauley will
have tendency to influence Kenosha
people who are forced to go to Chi
cago to take an earlier train for home
or at least to see to it that they have
body guard while on the way to the
station. 1t is probable that the hold
up men will seek to use the Kenosha
ticket taken from McCauley and the
police of Kenosha will be on their
guard against possible invasion CT
these people as the result of the lure
of flee transportation.

OFFER MEMBERS REFERENDUM
Head Camp Officials Decide to Make no
Further Effort to Put New Rates In
to Operation and Announce That the
Whole Matter Will so to the Camps.

There is to be an end to the bicker-
ing over the new rates for the Modern
Woodmen of America as today the of
ficials of the Kenosha Camp which has
a membership of more than 500 re-
ceived formal communication from
the executive committee Of the head
camp notifying them that no further
effort would be made to put the pro-
posed rates into operation. The Head
Camp has given up the fight entirely
and the whole matter of change in
rates is to be laid over until the meet
ing Of the Head Camp in 1914. The
action of the executive board is consid-
cred victory for the so-called Gin
surgeHtsn of the order but it is ex-
peeted that the action will save the or
ganization from disruption More than
score Of suits Of an injunctional ma
ature had been fled against the Head
Camp in the various states Of the union
and the defense of these suits promised
to cost the order vast sum of money.
In Kenosha the order of the Head Camp
will make little difference The ma
ioTity of the members of the Kenosha
Camp seemed to be favorable to the
new rates and few members had per-
mitted their policies to lapse, The
meeting of the head camp will be held
in May Of next year and at that time
the matter Of changing the rates will
be taken up again. Before delegates
to the Head Camp are elected it is
probable that referendum vote on the
rates will be taken and this will give
the Head Camp higher power in max
ing the new rates. 1t is probable that
the same schedule of rates adopted at
the special session of the Head Camp
in Chicago last June will be~proposed
for adoption at the next session but be-
fore adoption the officers of the Head
Camp will meet every provision of the
laws Of the different states so as to
leave no loop hole for a court fight
against the rates adopted. 1t is de-
clared that the financial condition of
the Woodmen is such that it can con
tinue on the old rates without any fear
of the society becoming bankrupted be-
fore the next session of the Head
Camp. The provision made by the ex-
ecutive board is that the dues and as
sessments of the members shall be col
lected at the same rates as before any
action is taken and this rate is to be
in force until the change has been for
mally ratified following the 1914 ses-
sion of the head camp.
