JURY FINDS DOROW GUILTY
YoutI. Is Convicted Of Charge of Hav-
ing Killed Mrs. Wili-Breaks
Down After Verdict.

Milwaukee, the jury, find
the defendant, Harry Dorow, guilty as
charged" AS the words OF Clerk
Walter Wilde died away, Harry Dor
ow, convicted of the murder of Mrs.
Emily viii, lost his nerve for the first
time and broke down completely.
The strained silence of the crowded
courtroom was broken harshly by the
sobs Of the boy slayer. Hoping
against hope, as the stern-faced jury
filed in, he simply wilted when the
fateful words were spoken. 1t was
the first real emotion he had shown
during the eight long days since his
trial began. The scene between Do
row and his brother. and sister was
pathetic. Neither of his parents
were in the courtroom.

ROCK RIVER GETS CLEANED
Bridge Are All Removed De-
spite Owners Protests.

aaesville.-Despite the protests
Of the owners of the lots located in
Rock river, where the stores which
we're destroyed last April were loca-
led, the city has completed the work
of pulling out the pilings upon which
they were built. In some cases they
had been reinforced by concrete cas-
ings and these were dynamited. The
Eork will clear the river of al OBJ
struction below the new fridge
which will be formally opened soon.
The action of the city in this direc-
ton may establish it's right to keep
the river open at this point, despite
the decision of the supreme court,
which granted the abutting property
owners the right to build over the
stream.
