Ninety-nine liquor licenses were re-
fused by the city council in Milwaukee

A message was received in Reeds
burg Monday afternoon from Leaf
River, Illinois, from D. B. Woods to
the effect that he was in that city, but
does not remember how he got there
nor wht l. Everything since he left
home is blank to him. Monday after
noon about one hundred men went
down the railroad track in search of Mr..
Woods, not knowing but that he walked
down the track and was somewhere in
the woods. As soon as the message
was received from Mr.. Woods telephone
messages were sent out for the men
to return. Mr.. Wood arrived home on
Monday night
A few weeks ago some one went thru
the rooms,of several of the waiter girls
at Dells Innnear Kilbourn and took near
ly 800, the summer savings of the girls
wages. The management in quiet
way followed up suspicious clues, but
failed to fix the crime on any one. tho a
working girl from Milwaukee was
strongly suspected and searched. She
finally left Kilbourn for the city, but
a few days later was seen going back to
the DeIls Inn. She was followed
and watched and caught taking the mon
ey from where she had hid it.
As she was evidently new at the bus
mess and pleaded so pitifully, she was
not prosecuted. Being destitute she
was given money to return to her home.
The money was returned to the girls
who had lost it.
