pin lodged in the stomach, and as DR..
Kessell was absent, the parents will
probably take the child to the Roches.

Cattle Thief in Jail.

The Plain Dealer recently stated that
Sheriff Ferrie had discovered that the
cattle stolen from the late John Cray
had been disposed of in Harmony. On
Saturday last the sheriff and the Har-
mony stock buyer, Ed Betow went to
Chester where he positively identified
Walter G. Muenkel as the man who,
under the name of Mark Gallard, sold
him the cattle and received a check for
500. Muenkel was thereupon placed
under arrest by the sheriff and later
confessed his guilt, and was brought to
the Jail at Cresco.
1t is fairly we'll established that
Muenkel was accompanied by two
others for part of the distance, and
the first of the week implicated John
w. Turnmire, who resides a mile or so
from Muenkel, and Claude Smith, a
single man who resides with Turnmire
most of the time. These men were
brought to Cresco and on Wednesday
morning were given a preliminary
hearing before Justice Barker. 1t was
quite clearly established that both men
were entirely innocent, Muenkel him
self admitting that they had nothing to
do with the affair, and they were accord
ingly discharged.
Muenkel was placed under bonds of
$1,000 to appear before the grand jury.
He is young man % years of age,
with wife and two young children.
and has heretofore had a good reputa-
ton, for honesty, Chester and Lime
Springs banks having loaned him con.
siderable sums to assist him in farm
operations on the A. H. Breedlove
farm in Chester on which he was q
tenant.
A strange feature of the case is that
although Muenkel's charge that Turn.
mire and Smith were implicated was
discredited, he still persists that he
was helped by two men and received
but one-third of the proceeds of the
cattle sold.

West Chester, Pa.-Several weeks

Downingtown, refused to send her
two daughters to the public school,
because, she contended, that they
were Disseminated against on &C
count of their color. She was twice
arrested for violation of the COM

second occasion was fined $40,
which she declined to pay, and was
committed to prison by Justice Hun

applied to the court for allowance to
appeal from the summary conviction.
At the hearing she testified that all
the Colored children had been taken
from the five lower grades and placed
in basement room under the care of
one teacher, a young Colored man.

"THEM'S THE DICE"
AND THREE PAY FINES,
Complainant and Defendants Both
Mulcted as Result of Gambling
Raid.

When Lucille Catron and Ida Lot,
we're placed on trial in municipal
court for gambling today Patrolman
Patrick dug down in his pocket and
produced pair of dice. Both women
are colored.
"Them's the dice, Judge. The law
took 'em when dey busted up the
camel" shouted the Lott woman
Then followed the story of an alleged
dice game at 617 Fifth street north
in which the two women participated
and John Miles, also colored,
watched. Miles was in court charged
with selling liquor without a license
at the place.
AS the "crap" game progressed,
witnesses testified the Lott woman
lost a diamond ring and then $16 in
money. She slipped to a telephone,
called the police and continued in the
game until they arrived. Patrick was
assisted in the raid by Patrolman
Hammer.
Judge Smith learned that Ida Lott
was the complainant against Miles
and Lucille Catron as we'll as a de-
PENDANT. He decided they all were
guilty and fined the women $40 each
and the man $25.-Minneapolis Trib-
