camille and lumber trade until the fl
nancial crash of 1857, when, with thou
sands of other business men, he was
compelled to close his business.
In boyhood, Mr.. Philleo had a great
fondness for study, but poor health
prevented his taking regular col
Iege course. His fondness for study,
however, never left him. He often
felt a desire to engage in editorial life,
and in the spring of 1858, became local
editor of the wood County Reporter"
continuing the drug store with J. +.
Ingraham. For the last IL years Mr..
Philleo has been the political editor
of the Reporter" and for six years
had been acting as deputy collector of
internal revenue in the sixth district
He was appointed postmaster by Mr.
Lincoln and held that office for nearly
eight years. During the latter part Of
that time he was clerk of the court
for Wood county. His best work, how
ever, has been done in connection with
journalism. He has been President of
the school board for several years and
was one of the visitors to the State
University in 1875.
Mr.. Philleo was man of social dis
position, frank and open hearted. II
dealing with his fellow men he placed
confidence in all, regarding all as hon
est and we'll meaning as himself. He
was kind to everybody and loved his
home and family with an intensity not
often witnessed. 1t will be a long
time before the world will have a sur.
plus of such men as Hart B. Philleo

What THE
AMERICAN FLAG
MEANS TO Me-
(By LuVerne Ellis, Glass of I'D.

(By LuVerne Ellis, Class of I'D.
When look at the American flag,
| feel a sense of pride that it is my
flag, the emblem Of my country. 1t is
the symboy of freedom, for we think of
our country first of all as free coun-
try. 1t means that America was given
free government. to be haven of
refuge for the oppressed and down
trodden of all nations, a place where
they might develop and expand to the
fullest extent. Such is the ideal
which was in the minds of the first
Americans and this is the ideal which
the flag suggests toward which we
strive
The flag suggests to my mind some
thing more than the idea of freedom.
1t means freedom which is true, and
brave, and pure. The red stands for
courage, the courage which was Wash

GLENzARRESTED
FUGITIVE
JEWELER
Young Man Wanted for Larceny at
Arenberg's is Captured in State
of Texas.

Frank Glenz, wanted for the al
legged larceny of $1,185 in cash and
gold watch from the store of his en-
ployer, E. A. Arenberg, on the night
of August 9, last, has been arrested at
Batesville, Texas. Undersheriff Frank
Kubisiak is now on his way south for
the man and will be back in Stevens
Point with him in a week.
Fixing His Identity
A telegram from the authorities of
zaVella county, Texas, informed the
district attorney and sheriff there that
a man answering Glenz's description
has been apprehended. A message
was sent back, asking if Glenz would
come back without extradition papers.
5he purpose of the inquiry being thus
to establish his Identity The pris-
oner agreed to do so, and as it was
unlikely that he would make such an
agreement if he were another person.
doubt was no longer felt of his identi-
ty and the Undersheriff was dispatch
ed for him.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1917-04-19
Fixing His Identify
Not Suspected

Glenz, trusted employee of Mr.. A
renberg, was missing on the morning
of August 10, but such was the conf
dence his employer had in him that his
absence was not considered suspicious
for an entire day. Even when it was
noticed that watch was gone, it was
presumed that Glenz had perhaps Civ
en- it to a railway man to wear tenn
porarily. At 3 o'clock in the after
noon, just as the bank closed, Mr.. A
renberg looked for the large sum of
money he had in a drawer in the safe.
It was gone with the exception of the
change and the 81 bills, the large bills
being drawn from underneath, the pur-
pose evidently being to prevent early
discovery if it became necessary to
make change early in the day. The
discovery that the money was gone
preceded any thought that Glenz
m light have been concerned in it. The
matter was then reported to the po-
lice and the young man has been
sought diligently since then.
Fond of the Ladies
Glenz is 20 years old, popular with
the girls and also popular with the
young men about town. He is fond
of travelling in fast company and his
salary of $40 a week was not sufi-
Gent for his needs of that character.
His relatives live in Michigan.
