OF THE
KRUECERFICHT
WILL Be TOLD
Mother and Son to be Plac-
ed on Trial in Owen,
Wisconsin, Soon.

Owen, Wis, Oct. 24.-The story of
the dramatic gun battle between a
posse seeking draft evaders and a
mother and three sons will be I'M
folded when Mrs. Louise Kruger and
her son. Frank, are placed on trial
for murder here in d few days. ~
The murder charge followed the
verdict of a coroner's jury which in
vestigated the death Of Harry Jensen,
a railroad station master at Withee,
who was shot and killed by "some
unknown occupant of the Kruger
home on the night of September IA.
Jensen was a member of the posse
Kruegers, who were ~barricaded in
their home. --
Jensen was re-loading his rifle be-
hind an automobile 800 yards from
the house when a bullet clipped him
and he fell dead Thirteen other
members of the posse were wounded
by the volleys that poured from the
homestead.
The mother of the boys, who had
refused to register under the selective
service law. was first to give up. Her
son, Frank, surrendered, next, but
only after he had been seriously
wounded.
The other two brothers then con-
tinued to hold the fort, having estab-
lished their stronghold in the barn
of the homestead. An attempt was
made to smoke the fugitives out Of
the building, which soon caught fire
and was destroyed with a large guam
tity of hay, grain and livestock.
Taking advantage of~this situation,

ClCARETS FALL
FROM AlRPLANE
Are First Thought to be Poi
soned by Germans, But
Dropped by K. Of c.

Among the many interesting facts
included in a letter from Lieutenant
Leo johnson to M. Norman Of this
city, is n concerning a shower
which fell from a clear sky in the st.
Mihiel sector last month.
A group of the fighting yanks were
one day surprised by receiving a
heavy shower Of cigarettes from a
passing airplane. Their first thought
was that they had been doctored by
the Germans, but upon investigation
a card bearing compliments of the
Knights of Columbus" was found in
each package. "A cloud of smoke
soon arose." the young man writes,
that would have added to the con-
fusion of the 'pretzel eaters"
Concerning the incident the Paris
edition of the New York Herald
prints the following:
1.-THE idea Of providing the Ameri-
can soldiers with cigarettes in this
name was conceived by Martin v.
Merle of San Francisco, author OF
1.-THE Light Eternal" and other plays
Mr.. Merle is a secretary Of the
Knights of Columbus lodge and is at
tached to an American aviation unit
which played a conspicuous part in
the fighting around St. Mihiel.
WIN the consent OF the commando
of this air service unit Mr.. Merle
provided. more than a score of avia.
tors with thousands Of cigarettes and
as the latter flew V the American
lines on their way to "starfe" the
Boches, they dropped the packages OF
smokes to the doughboys. Word re-
ceived by Mr.. Merle after the yanks
began to consolidate their gains in.
Dictated most of the Smoke bombs
were effectively employed and keenly
appreciated. ll

ENEMY ALIEN I.
NURSE LET GO
Marie c. Hanson Discharg-
ed by Authorities at
S. A. Il. G. Post.

A number of more or less garbled
versions Of certain recent happenings
in the S. A. T. C. hospitals at the uni
versity have been circulated during
the last few days, and in order to ef-
fectually set them at rest an ,investi-
cation was conducted. There 49, it
appears. a change made in the or
ganization Of the nursing corps on
duty at the Bulge hall hospital at the
university last Sunday. Marie C. Han
son, former superintendent of the
D%eaconess hospital, and widely known
in this city, was discharged, and, two
nurses working with her left when
the new group of nurses under the
direction of Miss Mccullough came
on. A statement was issued from post
headquarters today. It was read to
serve comment.
The statement from headquarters
reads as follows:
I'VE regret very much that it was
necessary to discharge Miss Hanson,
who had been doing very capable
work Jas head nurse in Bulge hall,
because of German ancestry. 1t is
contrary to the policy of the govern
ment to engage in its active: nursing
of h Central powers. Miss Hanson
had never taken out her naturaliza-
ton papers. For this reason she, was
not acceptable to the Red Cross. Miss
Hanson's loyalty was not questioned.
1t was merely a matter of the policy
of the government in employing
those of German birth.
Miss Mccullough, who, had been
appointed head of the nursing bureau
Of the Red Cross for this district, and
who was exceptionally we'll qualified
for the position, was secured in Miss
Hanson's place. Two Of the nurses
who had been working under Miss
Hanson left with her. Miss McCul-
Tough brought with her a new corps
of nurses to take the place Of those
leaving. and the efficiency of the
nursing organization in Bulge hall
was kept at its normal high state.
1t was regretted that the nurses who
left considered personal prejudices
f, paramount to their duties in the serv-
ice during the time Of this great en-
Urgency. The situation was met salts
factorily. however, by bringing in
others, and consequently there was no
let-up in the caring for the men.

GET RID Of MORTGAGES
Farmers Make Payments Which May
Precede Investment In Land and
Other

This years excellent crop has to
some extent made it possible for the
farmers of the surrounding country
to rid themselves Of the mortgages
and debts which a great many Of
them have been burdened with for
many years. This is the opinion of
without exception thought it posi-
BILE for the farmer to do so, consid-
ering the crop n the excellent
prices received for their products.
According to many bankers, farm
ers are even paying off their mort
cages before they are due, and in
several instances the potato crop
alone is paying the greater part Of
the debt.
A heavy investment in lands and
other property is expected, according
to n banker, who stated that mas
much as the farmers of this state are
realizing the opportunities awaiting
them they will take steps to invest
even more freely in land.

American people. his recognition of the
very grave dangers to the American
forces in France, of the effect of

found In France. General Pershing
has reported. according to foreign dis
patches published in the Journal. that
discussions are being held with the
French authorities with a view to pro-
tecting our boys from such alcoholic
drinks. including wines and beers, the
same in foreign service as they are pro-
.ected at home.
General Pershing states that he
:avors entire prohibition for the troops
under his command, but that there
are, at the present time. great difficult
ties Of such enforcement. He has plain
