made away with the sum Of S.. Mrs.
DeRusha had been out walking with
a friend, while her daughter, Miss

sitting room to her bedroom.
. About $3.50 o'clock, after Mrs. De-
Russia had retired, man came to her
bedside and said: Where is your
money!" She said that she had no
money, whereupon the burglar re-
piled, "You have too. Give 1t up or
I'll kill you" Mrs. DeRusha then
said: my money is In the bank. But
I have IS in my pocketbook that you
can have, and leave me alone" The
fellow took the money and departed:

The JUDICIARY
AND THE PEOPLE
MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE

Andrew A. Bruce, one-time justice
of the North Dakota Supreme court,
believes that the judiciary should be
made less creature of politics than
it is now. He SO declared in an ad-
dress before the Minnesota State Bar
association, and he gave as his reason
that "the whole machinery Of the
electorate is against the judge" and
that "manifestly penalty is placed on
his rendering of a ta1r and equitable
decision If he is obliged to take ac-
count of his popularity with voters"
To procure higher judicial standard
he would make the judges tenure Of
office more secure. and he would &C
cord to him q status OF greater dig
nifty and responsibility"
Judge Bruce's suggestion does not
fit into the scheme Of those who be-
lieve in placing in the hands OF the
people the power to recall q jurist or
a judicial decision when they do not
happen to like the functioning Of the
one or the gist Of the other That,
however, does not necessarily in
validate his position; it merely makes
it subject for difference and debate.
Judges have in some degree at least
the same attributes of character that
influence, direct or color the actions
of other men. The nature of their SER
vice to the public demands, however,
q maximum exercise OF impartial
Judgment based on the law and the
evidence They cannot in all cases
be true to their judicial concept of the
right and the wrong, and at the same
time have their decisions and ruling
coincide with popular majority wish
or sentiment. This very fact, since
they are human beings, exposes them
to the temptation Of swerving at times
from the exact course they feel they
ought to take. Not a little of this
temptation is created by contempla-
ton of what the people will think or
say-or do at election time-in ap-
prevail or dfsapproval.
There is no question that jurists as
class perform wisely and we'll in the
long run according as they are free
from public clamor and from worries
regarding their tenure of office. In
the history of the American judiciary
! the exceptions merely serve to en-
phasize the rule. Judges are not in
| fallible, but the standard of their
stewardship rarely is improved by q
hearkening to the voice of the mex
pert. Not all judges are renowned
for probity, but there Is way to
reach and deal with the corrupt, with
out waiting for an appeal to the cleo
| torate. That way Is by Impeachment
which, If sustained, d1squalifies the
offender in Minnesota from holding
! thereafter any office of honor, trust
or profit in the state.

good. The August 1 crop as fore

TRACKING SLAYER
Deputy Sheriff Relates How the
BIoodhounds Followed Trail
Of Fugitive

Deputy Sheriff. II. w. Kuhnua Of
Heron Lake, Jackson county, while in
the city today told a representative OF
The Free Press that he and his
brother, Deputy Sheriff Ben Kuhnua,
of Lakefleld were in charge of the
chase made after the man who muir
dered Sheriff Terry Mccall. AS soon
as the bloodhounds arrived from Wat

nau met the owner of the dogs at the
train at Worthington, and in company
with Henry Carlson, Adolph Johnson
and Nels Huleen of Heron Lake went
the murder was committed, and there
found hat which the murderer had
lost in the scuffle with Sheriff Mccall.
The hatband had numbers and init
ials which Deputy Sheriff Kuhnau
does not remember, but which show ed
that the man who wore the hadpiece
had been an inmate of the Iowa state
prison at Fort Madison.
Three Men Made Escape.
What bears out this theory Is that
recently three men made their escape
from that prison, two have since been
captured and one Is still at large.
Deputy Sheriff Kuhnau says that the
hounds worked to perfection keeping
the trail for over five miles and thence
to Okabena where 1t was evident thar
the man had walked around in fig
ure eight to bewilder the dogs. Farm
ers had seen a man in a pasture there
without a hat. About seven miles
south of Okabena the dogs lost the
trail, and were taken back to where
the mans tracks showed plainly twice
spot and stopped. Later it was learn
ed that a man, whose name Deputy
| Sheriff Kuhnau does not know, while
driving his Ford Sedan car was held
up at the point of a pistol and COM
manded by man who was then very
much excited and without a hat to
| drive him to Round Lake, Mimi, not
! far from Worthington. as fast as he

that station as fast as he could

FIRE HIT ONCE BAR
Former Chandler Brothers Saloon
MINNEAPOLIS, Was In Flames.

minneapolis, was In Flames.
Former patrons stopped as they
passed along Fifth street south today
and found that fire Of the night be-
fore had wrecked a famous loop
landmark, the little building that for
merly housed Chandler Brothers bar,
80 Fifth street south. Chambers sa :
loon was one of Minneapolis best
known drinking places in the days
that ended with July 1, 1919, says
The Minneapolis Journal.
The fire, which originated in a par
ition between the College Inn lunch
room, which was occupying the old
Chandler site, and Reid brothers tail
or shop, "a Fifth street south, caused
heavy TIamage to both places, estimat-
ed today at $4,000 to the restaurant
and nearly the same amount to the
ailor shop.
For nearly an hour street car traf-
&C on Fifth street was tied up as the
lremen worked in the thick smoke
which filed the loop district and
made travel dangerous. Fire lines
we're established by the police to keep
the crowd, numbering thousands, at q
distance.
The Chambers were at one time
esidents Of Mankaro and were in
barge Of the bar at the Saulpaugh.
