Kenosha county has had its first
visit from the armed bank bandit
and has disposed Of the case in a man
ner satisfactory to most people.
The body of the lone robber, who rob-
bed the State Bank Of Silverlake
just after noon on Monday lies uniden-
titled at the Mischler morgue awaiting
some one to claim it and the holding
Of an inquest by the coroner.

of posse under the leadership Of Sher-
Tiff Joseph N. Meyer. He was brought
down by rifle bullet which caught
him Just under the chin. After the

started with him to Silverlake to
put him under the care of DR.. Becker
Of that village. The man died in the
automobile before Silverlake was
reached. He died without making any
statement in regard to the case.
May be Fred Juchalski.
Officials Of the county and people liv-
ing in the Silverlake neighborhood, be-
lieve it possible that the dead robber
is Fred Juchalski, former Kenosha
man, who was working in the Silverlake
neighborhood in December of 1915, and
who was arrested on a charge of OBJ
tanning goods under false pretenses
from the Dalton and Letting store.
This man was sentenced to a term of
one year at the state prison at Waupun
ON December 21st of that year. He is
supposed = have a brother living on
Chicago street in Kenosha and the
sheriff was making an effort to locate
the brother and ask him to make an
attempt to identify the man. Clerk of
the Municipal Court JohE Wattles
could not make the Identification.
Juchalski used the name Of Martin Gal
legher ir the transactions at Silver
lake. He was known in the neighbor-
hood as Charley and it is claimed
that the man who robbed the bank was
recognized as Charley by barber
at Silverlake on Monday.
Famous Hunter fired Shot.
Sheriff Meyer gives Bert Neal a
famous hunter Of the Western part of
the county the credit for bringing
down the bandit. Acting on the or
der Of the Sheriff, who had repeat
edly emptied his own revolver at the
man Neal managed to get a bead on the
man by resting his rifle against tele-
graph pole. He is credited with firing
the shot which wounded the man in the
leg and the second shot which pierced
his Jaw and inflicted the mortal
wound.
4 When the members of the posse
reached the dying robber they found
the ground about him strewn with
money. The Sheriff and his aids pick
ed up several thousand dollars in bills
from the ground and later secured more
money from the clothing of the man.
The total recovered was in the neigh
borhood Of $500.
81 WASH It much interested in who
fred the shot that brought the fellow
down. said Sheriff Meyer this morn
ing. 81 believe it was Neal and ]
want to say that ne has my thanks
for his work. Of course Neal viii not
be arrested. He was acting as a De-
putty Sheriff and was himself under fire
when he got his man.
Fights Desperately Against Capture.
The bandit was captured after the
most desperate chase ever made fol-
ia criminal in Kenosha county. That
the members. of the posse were entirely
justified in killing the man was shown
by the fact that at the time he fell
pierced through the throat with the
rifle bullet he was attempting to fire
a revolver at the members of the adj
vancing posse.
William Schlecht, cashier Of the
looted bank declared that the money
recovered was practically the esti.
mated loss Of the bank.
