LANDS
DAYLIGHT ROBbER

Shrewd work on part of Under
sheriff Bluett was the means of
quickly experimenting John Ferris,
who on last Thursday robbed the
cash drawer in the saloon of James
McGIynn at BahcOck, of nearly $500.
Undersheriff Bluett started quietly
to work and soon learned that Fer
ris had come to this city and taken
an automobile to Stevens Point. A
journey to Stevens Point brought
the information that Ferris had gone
to Milwaukee, where he has a sister
living The Milwaukee authorities
were communicated with and Ferris
was arrested by Detective Lukenhei-
mer. Deputy Cameron of Milwaukee
county, brought Ferris to this city
Sunday morning.
When Undersheriff Bluett arrived
at Stevens Point, he met with some
difficulty in tracing Ferris as the
name Ferris is an alias. The cronies
he associated with in Stevens Point,
did not know him by that name
AS soon as Ferris arrived at the
Point, lie began to spend his money
on booze and did the same thing
after arriving in Milwaukee. Ferris
real name is Ignatz Stachoziak.

THE STREETS
ARE DANGEROUS
Parents Should Teach Their
Children to Keep off the
Streets

Papers everywhere are full of
warnings to parents against permit
ting their children to play on the
streets Cities where statistics are
kept show in every instance that the
number of automobile accidents in
crease every Year. Public streets are
being transformed into thoroughfares
dangerous as a railroad right-of-way;;
the time has come when they must
be abandoned as Fairgrounds
The street is at best a very poor
place for children to play and now
that the automobile is here to stay,
and hundreds of them are on our
streets daily, We must take eogni-
zance Of the added danger to the
little ones and use greater diligence
to keep them out of the dan ger.
The admoEition which makes us
careful when crossing the railroad
tracks must be repeated with refer
ence to the street.

KEEP EN- MOVING
Our Police are to be CompIi-
mented for Keeping the
Gypsies Moving

For years and years, farther back
than most of the residents of this
city can remember, our city has been
visited by bands Of wandering No
mads. When these bands reach the
city the men folks content them
selves with sitting on their wagons, or
endeayoring to trade a horse o. two
while the women separate and work
upon the people, especially the Ia
dies, by offering to foreteI the fu-
ture.
Sometimes these bands are small,
and consist Of but two or three Wa
CONS, while at other times there are
a dozen or more wagons in one out
fit.
There are few women in the city
but who have hurriedly called her
small children home when she caught
sight of a covered wagon, dilapidat
ed generally, but with gaudy top,
decorated in all colOrs Of the rain
bow and meant to depict scenes of
woodland with a stream of crystal wa
ter vending it's way between the
trees, come into sight These wagons
heavily laden with humanity and
few blankets, usually lumber down
the streets, the wheels wabbling, and
creaking, drawn by a pair of aged
horses, fitted with gaily bedecked
harness covered with brass trim
mings. Usually numerous animals
are trailing behind for trading pur-
poses. When a number of these out
fits unite in one caravan it makes a
great sight, and the people would
have continued to have an opportu--
nifty of witnessing it, had the gaily
and gaudy female members Of the
bands not become so aggressive in
their pursuits of money, by Fleeing
innocents who are DESTROYS of peer
ing into the future.
In many towns the time is limited
in which gypsies are allowed to stay
others will not allow them to stop
at all. The latter plan is the best.
This kind Of treatment will no doubt
have the effect Of driving these PEG
pie out of this locality, and that is
what the people desire.
