CATCH FORCER
AT REEDSBURC

Another author of worthless checks
has been run down.
Bernard Dahl, who says his home is
at Portland, Oregon, is in the Sank
county jail. having been sentenced to
five years at Waupun by Judge James
O'Neill in circuit court His detec-
ton, arrest, trial, conviction, and
sentence was swift
On Wednesday afternoon Hahn
cashed two checks in Reedsburg,
both bearing the name of John Mime
mann, now a resident of Alderman but
formerly on a farm not far from
Loganville He is a brother in law of
W. P. Egerer.
Dahl went to the Office of the can
ming factory and asked a young man,
Philip Hass, to write some checks
; for him, claiming to have a sore hand.
The young man did as he was request
ed and when he went home told his
mother, Mrs Alvin Hass, about it.
She at once telephoned the circum-
stance to Mr.. Hahn at the bank and
an investigation was started. 1t was
found there was one check of $45 at
the Citizens bank and another of a
like amount at the State bank. One
check had been cashed at the Big
store and one at the Hass harness
shop. ??
Runs Away
Having passed one check in the
,%D \, ~ do
partment when the investigators ap-
peared. He thought he was in diffe-
rent store and when he found he was
in the same place took the check
he was then trying to pass,
back, remarking that he had to go to
the other part and would cash it
there. About then he was confronted
with the others and put up a bold
front He said:
These checks are all right If you
do not believe it come with me- Mr..
zimmerman is on the outside and l
will show you"
He started for the door, the others
following. AS soon as he reached the
street he ran south and was rounded
up in a cellar not far from the depot.
The officers placed him in the lock-
up and placed guard over him for
the night This morning he was
brought to Baraboo by Constable H.
H. Schleden and Marshal Roy Mep-
ham.
Former Sheriff VIM. Welk says the
man is evidently an old timer. When
the prisoner stepped before Judge
O'Neill he folded his hands SO quick,
just like they do in penitentiaries.
Money Returned
Of the 500 the sum of $45 was found
by the officers in a sock and $45 in
one of his pockets. This has been re-
turned to the persons from whom it
was obtained. Besides the $50 he had
1881, part of which was in the other
sock
When placed in the lookup at Reeds
burg the officers told the prisoner
they intended to search him. Just then
he ran to the bowl and thrust small
package into it, showing it beyond
reach with his hand. What is was re-
mains mystery.

PARADE FOR
new BUILDING

On Wednesday afternoon the pupils
of the public schools formed in line
and marched through the business Sec
ton of the city for the purpose of
encouraging the campaign for a new
junior high school building.
Some of the pupils were in automo-
biles, some were in dog-draWn carts,
some were on bicycles, some in
buggies, and some on "shanks" hor-
ses. There were hundreds of ban
ners and pennants; and the high
school band headed the procession.
One of the banners read:

There were dozens and dozens OF
others. Some Of the youths wore
clown or other fantastic suits, and
the whole made great hurrah dur
ing the pleasant afternoon. Flags
were waved and onlookers on the
sidewalks cheered the procession.
One repugnant, inconsistent, con-
trary goat hitched to a small vehicle
gave the owner plenty to do to keep
the creature in line. 1t was a new
experience for the bewhiskered,
horn-adorned, long haired creature.

OF president or any of the state
campaign questions. 1t was a fight
over the moving of the county seat
from Red Clitfe to Eagle.

votes so the county seat viii be

thirds votes to change a county

Several attempts have been made

population in the mining sections
OF the county has been responsible

BRING
LOST MEMORIES TO DIR. az
Doctor Brand at Sons Home Here Gradually Recoects Days
Before His Wmderings

Through photographs and trinkets
ana an old pipe, memories of his life
before 1917 are being gradually re-
called to DIR. John l.. Brand, called
the mysterious Doctor X" till he
was identified week ago by his son,
Lieutenant Commander Charles Brand,
of this city.
The distinguished looking little man
remembers now his wife and daughter,
and is eagerly looking forward to their
coming to Philadelphia. Every day he
gazes at their photographs and some
new, often trivial, happening of former
home life is recalled.
Father is improving steadily, and
| believe it is only question of weeks
till he is fully recovered" said Com
mander Brand.
The young commander is stationed at
the navy yard here. He and his wife
sat. in the attractive living room of
their home, 251S South Twenty second
street, last night. Doctor Brand left
the room as q visitor was ushered in.
Afraid of Questions
''He is afraid of questions" ex-
planned the son, "and we do not want
to force too much upon his mind at
once. We are trying to suggest things
of the past by showing him things he
used to care for and mentioning people
he loved, rather than by asking him
questions.
'We realize it is one of the most
unusual-and interesting cases of its
sort that physicians have had to con
tend with. But no one will ever be

There was only one letter of consc-

Never Heard Of League
Queer, isn't it?'' The commander
paused to light a pipe. "Father de-
clares he never heard of the league
