BARBER SHOP
CHANGES HANDS

James Ryan las purchased the
interests of George w .Steckenbauer
in his barber shop on Oak street and
will take possession Monday. Mr..
Steckenbauer has been in the barber
business for number of years and
feels that he must have change on
account of his health. He has nothing
else in view for the present but ex-
poets to take much needed rest
after about rs years of cutting whisk-
ers.
Mr. Ryan who will take charge of
the business, has had considerable ex-
pierence in the shaving and haircut
ting art and will employ two addition
al experienced BARRIERS. The young
man is well known in Barab0o, and 40
doubt will be a success in his new en-
terprise.
Mr.. Ryan was employed in the
Steckenbauer barber shop for some
time previous to going to the Sand
erson shop where he has been for Sc
.veral years.

KRUECERS ARE
HELD GUILTY
Judgment for $6,o15.5O Ordered
Entered for Lainio by High
Court---Seven Other Actions

The verdict of the jury in the
Kruger case, tried in Circuit court for
Portage county last December was
approved in it's entirey by Judge
Byron B. Park in decision handed
down at Stevens Point. The court or
dered judgement for the plaintiff,
! Emil Lainio, against all three defend
ants, Caroline Kruger and her two
sons, Frank and Leslie Kruger.
The judgement to which the jury
found the plaintiff entitled is $6,015.-
so, of which $5,015.50 represents COM
pensatory damages as a result Of in
juries sustained by Lainio when he
was shot while member OF United
States marshalls posse attempting to
arrest the Kruger brothers as draft
evaders, and punitory damages OF
1000.
The jury also held that the Kruger
brothers, four in number, had con-
spired forcefully to resist arrest, that
they were responsible for the shooting
Of Lainio, and that Mrs. Caroline
Kruger, the mother, was party to
the conspiracy.
The action was brought against Mrs.
Krueger and Frank, Leslie, Ennis and
Louis Krueger, but was dismissed as
to Ennis Kruger, who met his death
while resisting arrest, and Louis, who
is an alleged fugitive from justice.
In analyzing the jury's answer to
the question regarding tthe alleged
conspiracy of the Kruger brothers,
the court held that the evidence pre-
sented is amply sufficient if deemed
credible, to sustain a finding that
Frank, Leslie, Louis and Ennis had a
common understanding that Louis and
Leslie should eyade service, and that
they would forcefully resist the arrest
of both or either one of them.
The action of Lainio against the
Kruegers was the first of eight civil
actions for damages growing out OF
the pitched battle at the Kruger farm
in September, 1918. The total amount
of damages sought. is in excess of $50
000 1t is probable that, unless settle
ment is reached, some of these cases,
at least, will be combined and tried in
Circuit court here at the May term
Lainio, as the Kruegres, will make
the first levy against the property of
the Kruegers Others who may get
judgement will share in what is left.
The total value of the Kruger pro-
perty has been estimated at $4,000
or more.

NO HIGH EXPLOSIVES
AT CAMP ROBINSON

Sparta and Tomah citizens seriously
objected over the proposal to make
Camp Robinson mere storage depot
for high explosives. Though only a
few acres of the $4,000 embroced in
the reservation would be used for this
purpose, the entire camp would consti-
tute a danger zone and its peculiar
natural advantages as a maneuvre site
for future training would be destroyed.
In response to warning from Congress-
man John J. Esch of this destrlct
a massmeeting was held in Sparta and
resolutions were ADOPTED against pass
ing of the bill. Col. Stewart of Wash
ington, d. c., addressed the meeting,
and assured the citizens that in accord
with their desire the dynamite will
at once be removed.
Camp Robinson is the only range
in the United tSates which can ac-
commodate the army for field artil-
lery practice with long range can
