in Milwaukee.

Regardless of the fact that the de-

halted by the Milwaukee road in. Mil
waukee no orders to this effect have
been received by the North Western
agents here.
eve have no orders to hold deliveries
of coal or to hold coal from indus

Kenosha Office of the company this
morning. "There is not a great deal
of coal coming in, but such cars as
are received are being delivered to
the consignees. We have no indica-

At the factories in the city it was
said that there was the usual supply

on account of the transportation con-

''There is about a six weeks supply
and of course we are concerned over
the conditions. We have hopes that
the trouble will be taken care of be-

TRICKSTER HELD
AT AURORA
Tom Lanerd Who Stole Au-
to Left for Bond Arrest
ed at Illinois City.
TO BE BROUGHT BACK

Thomas Lanerd or Thomas Gilbert
take your choice-is nervy, customer.
He is under arrest on charges of "sus-
ricion" at aurora, ILL.,, and mem
Der of the police department of
Kenosha is going to Aurora to bring
him back to Kenosha.
1t is not just certain what charge
will be launched against Lanerd if he
valves extradition and comes back to
Kenosha, but he is going to get a
"bawling out" such as has not been
administered to a man in some time,
for he is alleged to have Stolen" an
automobile from in front of the city
hall in Kenosha, the said automobile
being in the custody of the police
department of the city.
Lanerd was arrested in Kenosha
on July Gath. He was charged with
being a bit reckless in driving his
automobile and on account of the reck-
lessness the automobile ran into an
automobile owned by Harry Copen.
Auto May Have Been Stolen.
When Lanerd was arrested here he
didn't want to go to the city lookup
so he turned his automobile over to
the police and said he would look up
some friends about town pending the
time when he had hearing in court.
The police took the automobile as
surety, but Lanerd slipped round the
back and came back in front of the
city hall and seeing the front window
of the police Office closed and figuring
it out that most of the police officers
were busy he just hoped in and
turned on the gas and beat it. The
police are not sure in regard to the
automobile. 1t may be the property
of Lanerd or Gilbert but the state
records show that the license plate on
it was issued 80 a man living at Su-
perior and for an entirely differ
emit kind of car. The man at
Superior insists that his name is
neither Lanerd nor Gilbert.
The man was arrested at Aurora on
Tuesday and when the police took him
in he gave the name "Tom Gilbert,
Racine" Messages sent to Racine
brought the information that the man
was not known there but the police
of Racine suggested to Aurora "Try
Kenosha." The local police are going
to bring the fellow back to Wisconsin
and if nothing else give him a chance
to pay a fine for reckless driving.
While he is on the way back there is
going to be some hard scratching up
at Superior just to find out if the fell
low is wanted on some charge there
and to discover the ownership of the
auto stolen from the city hall here.

Milwaukee-At three O'Clock this
afternoon Sheriff Joseph Meyer
of KenOsha, was rapidly improving
from the injuries inflicted by Joe
Paren, a prisoner, whom he was
taking to prison this morning.
The story of the encounter as told
by witnesses to Associated Press,
revealed that Paren had been un-
handcuffed because he had been a
model prisoner all the time that he
had been in Jail and during the
first few minutes of the trip to
Waupun. Paren gained a request
from Sheriff Meyer to go to the
rear of the car to get a drink of
water. There he pushed Meyer
into the toilet room and leaped
at him ferceiy. The prisoner
pursued his advantage, using his
finger-nails and teeth on the sher-
IFS nose and face. Paren in some
way or other obtained Sheriff
Meyers revolver but threw it into
a corner of the room, evidently
because he was afraid using it
would attract the attention of the
passengers. Both men were of
medium baild and passengers de-
clare they must have struggled to-
gether for ten minutes before they
were discovered by Conductor Har-
rigan. The latter found Meyer on
his back on the floor of the toilet
room with PareR astride his chest
and raining blows on his face.
Conductor Harrigan leaped on the
convict and with the help of pas
sengers overpOwered him. The
conductor declared that Sheriff
Meyer would undoubtedly have
been killed had the fight continued
a few minutes longer.

Sheriff Joseph N. Meyer, of Kenosha
county, was terribly injured just after
four o'clock this morning when he was
attacked by Joe Paren, self confessed
robber of the home of Charles w.
Nash, president of the Nash Motors
company. The sheriff was taking
Paren to the state prison at Waupun
where he is to serve term of ten
years at hard labor and the attack
occurred in the lavatory of a North
Western train between Racine and
West Allis. The sheriff is now at
the emergency hospital in Milwaukee
suffering from severe cuts on the head,
will recover but reports from the hos
pital said that his injuries were very
serious and that he would probably
bear through life the marks of his en-
counter with Paren. Paren did not
escape and later he was turned over
to the Milwaukee police department.
and was held pending transportation
to prison. Paren was not seriously
injured in the bitter encounter in the
narrow confines of the lavatory.
Was Alone With Prisoner.
Paren had been sentenced to the ten
year term several days ago and as the
sheriff feared that he was a desperate
character he decided to get away with
him to prison without further delay
and plans for the trip to Waupun were
made on Thursday evening. The sheriff
had called one of his deputies to ac-
company him on the trip to Waupun
with Paren, but at three o'clock this
morning the deputy had not put in an
appearance and the sheriff, against his
better judgment, decided to take Paren
and go alone. Paren was securely
handcuffed to the sheriff before they
left the Jail for the train. He showed
no tendency to seek to escape and in
the early hours of the morning he said
a friendly farawA1l . che men at the
Jail and declared that he was ready to
go to prison and begin serving his term.
Chats With Sheriff.
On the way toward Milwaukee,
Paren appeared to be entirely recon
ciled to going to prison. He is man
of good education and he talked freely
with the sheriff of his plans to be
model prisoner and earn his liberty at
the earliest possible time. The train
had pulled out of Racine and was NOV
ing along to Milwaukee when Paren
asked that he be allowed to go to the
toilet room. Since he had been very
peacable thus far on the trip the
sheriff acceded to his request and
took off his handouts, but followed
him down the aisle toward the end
of the car.
