bank robber, pickpocket and gang
leader, has been placed where he can
no longer startle the authorities with
his crimes On a charge of incorrig-

will be the youngest offender.

from the register of the most hardened
criminal Here it is in part:
Robbed Racine bank of $40 by sneak

divided with the gang.
Robbed stores on two occasions, tap
ping the till.
Shoplifter, working in and 10 cent
stores

neck in crime during the last two
years and his case was one of the
most perplexing problems Racine au-
thorities have had to solve. He was
too young to be sent to the Green Bay
reformatory, but something had to be
done with him because he was teach
ing many other lads from good fami-
lies evil ways.

MOONSHINER CAUGHT
REVENUE MEN RAID STILL IN
WOODS NEAR AMIGO.
Mash and Finished Product Is Found
When Officers Enter Abandoned
Lumber Camp.

Naturalization the first time in
northern Wisconsin moonshine plant
was carried out near Amigo by gov
eminent men when, under the leader
ship of Revenue Agent James O'Brien,
an exceedingly active still was sur
prised under cover of darkness and
William Coon, Kentuckian, acknowl-
edged leader of transplanted southern
ers, taken into custody.
The Illicit still was in an abandoned
lumber camp, and from the evidences
Of permanency, doubtless had been
operated for a considerable length of
time in what Coon considered COM
parative safety, being in wild section
and Of difficult access. The raiding
party found fully $50 gallons of mash
and ten gallons of the finished prod
uct Mr.. O'Brien estimated that in one
week the plant was capable of turning
cut several hundred gallons Of moon
shine whisky.
Coon was the only person at the
still, and he was so taken by surprise
that any attempt at resistance would
have been useless. None was offered.
After inspecting the place thoroughly.
the revenue men removed the worm OF
the still and other parts sufficient to
be used as evidence, and removed their
man to Amigo, where he was locked
up.
Mr. O'Brien declares that there are
other illicit stills operated by Ken
tuckians in the fastness of northern
Wisconsin, and that his department
will work night and day to eliminate
them. There have been false alarms
and empty handed raids from time to
time in the past few years, but moth
ing has been accomplished until now.
A fine as high as $500 and three
years imprisonment may be inflicted
in case such as Coon's.
