sPR|NT5 FROM JAIL
ED JUNEAU HOT-FOOTS FOR
TWO BLOCKS BUT SIMON
OUTSPEEDS HIM
MAKES RACE FOR HIS LIBERTY
Prisoner Serving Sentence Tries to
Get Free, Monday, Only to be
Captured

Ed Juneau, aged between 65 and
70, serving a so day sentence for
violating the game laws, sneaked
through the open jail door when
Sheriff Dodson and Undersheriff Sim
on were making some repairs Mon
day afternoon, ran like a scared deer
south on E. Third-st and into Wcr-
den-av, where he was captured by
Simon who showed a burst Of speed
that broke all previous records.
Juneau had been restless and was
walking past the door, back and
forth. Simon had kept his eye open
except for the one minute when Ju-
neau who wears a pair of rubber
s0led, white canvas sneakers went
cut through the sheriff's office and
into the street. The alarm was
given by Miss Inez Lahugh, Of the
sheriff's household who was in the
office at the time. Juneau ran his
best but Simon was on his trail and
caught him in a block and a half.
Juneau swore.
well, didn't make it, he said.
Nope" puffed Simon, ''y u
didn't
What you trying to do anyhow
asked Simon.
ooh, just devilin' around" an
swered the prisoner.
Juneau added after awhile.
Il thought I'd try it anyhow"
He is a silent man, talking to no
one, but muttering a great deal to
himself.
Juneau comes from Wilson town
ship. He lives alone in a log shack
and is not considered call there"
He has killed deer and beaver or
any other game any time in any
number and pays no more attention
to the game laws than "a wolf. After
repeated warnings he was arrested
by Game Warden l.. M. Soule, the
specific charge being violation of
the game laws in having in his
possession the hide of a fresh killed
deer in the red.
Juneau was brought to Ladysmith,
tried before Justice Reeves and SEN
fenced to so days in the Rusl1 coun-
ty Jail, beginning to serve his SEN
tence On the 18th of August.
He is large man, with the typ
ical frame and face of one long in
the woods and walks like an In
dian. His name is famous in the
history of early wisconsin.
He has no conception Of what he
lis in Jail for and cannot under
stand how killing a few deer could
place him in durance.
A H. Mccormick, waiting trial on
the charge of wife murder, is the
only other prisoner He is quiet
and gives no trouble and made no
effort to follow Juneau's example.
''He wouldn't run away if he was
turned loose" said Sheriff Dodson
to the News Budget.

discuss the fielding OF n certain
player.
The player IN question is none other
than the Wellknown Afr. Rogers
Hornsby. shortstop de luxe OF the St.
Louis Cards. Nj. Hornsby made more
errors than any other National league
shortstop, except Billy Kopf, OF the
Reds, during 1917. Yet Hornsby is
rated as the greatest shortstopper in
the western half OF the National. If
not the greatest in the entire circuit.
The secret Of HOrnsby's great
ness, therefore, cannot be found
in the figures, n you Judge him
by the error column. But II you
Judge him fairly you Will lamp
the number Of chances he nc
eePted and you'll get a different
answer.
The great shortstop goes after
every chance, no matter how hard il
is. Many Of these he accepts and in
many cases he is charged with an
error on balls that other players
would never touch That's the kind
Of a shOrtstop Hornsby is. And fig
ures don't show II by a long shot.

/ This IS the reason why Char

is that JaWn felt he needed Buck in
