Car Window Leap
Leads to Freedom
nv Associated Pregsl

Madison-A leap from car window
of a passenger train travelling thirty
miles an hour, gave at least temporary
freedom to Thomas Rodeviquez. a
Spaniard, who was being brought from
Monroe to the State Insane Asylum at
Mendoza here this morning. The
Spaniard had escaped from that insti-
tuition and had been taken into custody
at Monroe. He was again recaptured
after his daring escape from his guard.
James Lynch, this morning. Rodevi-
quez was first sent to Mendoza some
time ago when he was arrested in
Madison on a charge of stealing
chickens. He gave as his only reason
that he was hungry but refused to
work. A medical examination followed
in his being sent to Mendoza. He de-
clared that he was from California and
was working his way back to Spain.

SEEK ESCAPED
MADMAN HERE
Red Cross Asked to Locate
Man with a Manic
for Murder.
STOLEN FROM MOTHER

Officials of the local Red Cross As
sociation have been asked to comb
Kenosha for an escaped lunatic,
whose special mania is the murder of
prominent citizens in the cities which
he visits for wrongs which he fancies
they have committed.
The man is David Landrigan, dis
charged soldier, who recently eluded
his guards at the State Hospital for
the Insane in Massillon, Ohio. He
has not been heard from since June
9th and is believed to be at large in
either Wisconsin or Illinois, where he
claimed to have influential friends.
Detectives from Chicago are trailing
him and have asked Red Cross chap
ters to assist them in the belief that
the unfortunate man would appeal to
them for financial aid if he should
happen to find himself out of money
or employment.
Searching for His Mother.
Landrigan first came to the atten-
tion of the Red Cross officials by writ
ing a letter to the Home Service Sec
tion at Lorain, Ohio, in which he
stated that he was unable to find his
mother from whom he was Kidnapped
when he was child. They reported
his case to the authorities, located him
and had him confined at Massillon.
When last encountered he pretended
to be searching for his mother from
whom he insisted he had been stolen
by his father at Toledo. Ohio.
Strong But Sentimental.
The description of the man sent to
Red Cross representatives here por-
trays him as soIdierly-looking
youth, strong but with a boyish coun-
tenance The specifications place his
weight at $50 pounds; heigth 5 feet
6 inches; dark brown hair and eyes;
white, even teeth; neat appearance;
apparently calm and pleasant while
talking but grows suspicious and pos
sibly cries when he. mentions his
mother. Fancied wrongs against her
furnish the motives for his attacks
on prominent citizens.
Kenoshans who may have encount-
cred such am man here or at other
points in Wisconsin are urged to in
form the local Red Cross Home Ser
vice Department or write directly to
the State Hospital for the Insane at
Massillon, Ohio, from which Landri-
gan made his escape on June 9th, and
to which he will be returned when
found

GET BIG SUM
FOR ROAD WORK
County Treasurer Blair
Receives State Warrant
for $11,992.63.
FOR MAINTENAN nee

The county of Kenosha will have
81 ,992.63 for the maintenance of the
state trunk highways in the county
during the coming year, as County
Treasurer James w. Blair on Friday
received state warrant from the state
treasurer in this amount, representing
the share of Kenosha county in the
total Of fees collected from the auto
mobile owners this year.
Under the law the total amount must
be placed in the fund for the main
tenance of the highways and it may
not be used for any other purpose.
The amount shows an increase of over
$4,000 over the amount received in 1919
the treasurer's record showing that in
1919 the total for maintenance re-
ceived from the state was $8,814.83.
Automobiles Pay Big Sum.
The amount received by Treasurer
Blair represents the county's portion
of the collections for automobile IL
cense fees for the year from June 1,
1919 to June /, 1920. It reflects a very
large increase in the number Of auto
mobiles in operation in Kenosha coun-
ty and in Wisconsin. 1t is estimated
that Kenosha county has paid for au-
tomobile licenses this year somewhere
in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The receipts for automobile fees,
after the state deducts its percentage,
are divided up among the counties of
the state, according to the number of
miles of road under construction and
repair.
