THIRTY YEARS AT ANAMosA.
Geo. G0ndek Plead Guilty Before
Judge HObsOn and Received
Indeterminate Sentence
30 Years.
30 Years.

Geo. Gondek, the young burglar,
mention of his arrest at Prairie du
Chen being made in these columns
last week, is already in the reforma-
tory at Anamosa.
Credit is due County Attorney c..
N. Houck, Sheriff Ellingson and De-
putty Bucknell for the parts they
played in landing him behind the
bars at Anamosa in such quick time
Deputy Bucknell departed last week
Monday for Des Moines to get requi-
sition papers from Gov. Clarke,
which he did, and from there he went
direct to Madison, Wis, for like pa
pers from Gov. Phillips. On Tues
Gay Sheriff Ellingson went to Prairie
du Chen with warrant for Gondek,
and when Deputy Bucknell arrived
with the papers, Gondek was turned
over to the Winneshiek authorities
and taken to DEBORAH Wednesday
night. On Thursday County Attor-
ney Houck and the Grand Jury got
busy and Gondek was indicted on
several counts, the principal one
and which he was sentenced on was
the shooting of the operator at Os-
sian.
About 1890 Thursday morning
the indictments were returned, AM
young Gondek was brought before
the court. Atty. E. j. Hook was
appointed by the court to defend
him. At $3.50 in the afternoon the
defendant appeared in open court
and plead guilty to the indictment,
of assault with intent to murder.
He was then sentenced by Judge
Hobson to be imprisoned in the re-
formatory at Anamosa at hard la
Dor not exceeding thirty years. Bail
On appeal was fixed at $4,000.
The sentence of thirty years is an
indeterminate one, and the judge is
obliged to give the limit. After the
prisoner has served one year at An
amosa the board of parole fixes the
number of years he has to serve, on
the strength of the evidence before
the grand jury.
Gondek is an orphan boy who has
been in this county for four or five
years, and was given home by a
farmer near Castalia, but was dis
charged by the farmer some time
ago. He was only 10 years old, was
well dressed and neat appearing. No
one for minute, to look at the boy,
would suspect him of being a burg
lar and attempted murderer. judy
ing from his appearance he has been
we'll fed, and he was also well cloth
ed, and there seems no apparent rea-
son for him starting on the career
of crime he did. That he was check
ed this early in his career is a good
thing and society is better rid of such
njsn and they belong behind the
bars. Especially when they confess
to their crimes, and show no appar-
ent sorrow or fear.
The work of the Winneshiek Off
GERS is to be commended. The min
ute his arrest was reported County
Attorney Houck got busy and made
out the requisition papers and Sher-
iff Ellingson and Deputy Bucknell
lad the prisoner in the DEBORAH jail
inside of three days time, and the
next day after the prisoner arrived
here he received his sentence.
Sheriff Ellingson took Gondek to
Anamosa on Friday. The sheriff did
not handcuff or put irons on his pris-
oner and he accompanied him peace
fully, giving no trouble whatever
The sheriff arrived home Saturday
afternoon.
