SENT TO STATE PEN
Bunch Of undesirabIes Before Judge
chlldress at Faribault.

chIIdress, at FaribauIt.
Faribault, November 18.-With
considerable alacrity the criminal
calendar in the district court was
cleared away. This calendar included
the indictments o, Clarence Sharp,
Peter O'Brien. Robert Egan, alias
Bobby Nolan, Mrs. Peter OBrien,
Mrs. J. Hickman and Alex Meyers,
was cleared yesterday, the first day
OF the term, with the exception Of the
indictments against Alex Meyers,
toin law, and who will be tried after
the civil calendar has been cleared by
the retit jury this week.
After Clarence Sharp had pleaded
guilty. to larceny In the first degree,
Robert Egan, alias Bobby Nolan, who
was wounded on the night of Novem-
Der when attempting to liberate
Sharp from the Jail, also pleaded
guilty. Both men were sentenced by
Judge Arthur B. Cnildress to ten years
at hard labor at Saltwater.
Sentence of Peter O'Brien and Mrs.
Peter O'Brien, both charged with Inn
plication in the ATTEMPTED Jail deliv-
cry Of November 6, was not pronoun-
ced yesterday afternoon after the
ting two had pleaded guilty. Prose-
cutting Attorney Lucius A. Smith rec
commended jail sentence for Peter
o Brien and fine for Mrs. O'Brien
because there was no more evidence
to indicate that the two were impli-
Gated in the robbery and Jail delivery
than that they all lived in the same
rooming house in Minneapolis.
The indictment which heretofore
had not been made public before yes
terday afternoon was that of Mrs. j
Hickman, whose case was SUSPENDED
because of lack of evidence and the
assumption by Mr.. Smith that she
has no part or knew nothing OF the
attempted Jail delivery before the
occurrence.
In the case of Mr.. and Mrs Peter
O'Brien, County Attorney Smith told
the court that he was inclined to be
lenient with the pair because through
them valuable information had been
gained that made the capture of Egan
possible and the conviction Of Sharp
certain.
:, Robert Egan, assisted by two deru-
ty sheriffs, walked into the court room
yesterday afternoon and was arraign-
ed, pleaded guilty and received a. SEN
tence of ten years at hard labor In
the penitentiary, on the charge Of
grand larceny in the first degree
brought about by the implication in
the robbery of jewelry on Sept. 13,
the night his partner, Clarence Sharp,
was arrested on the train.
After serving his term, which may
be from five to ten years, in case he
Is released on good behavior, Egan
will again be faced with the charge of
attempted jail delivery.

2 MILWAUKEEANS DIE IN GALE
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Beverly Killed by
Tornado While in Dressing Room
of Theater at EIgin, III.-One
Death at East Troy.

Milwaukee March 3O.-Death for
two Milwaukee people followed in the
wake of the cyclone which swept
northern Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Beverly were found dead in their
dressing room at the Grand theater,
Elgin, buried beneath the debris of the
shattered building. Both had appar-
emily been instantly killed. Sam and
Ada Beberly, as they were known on
the stage, were billed to appear at the
Miller theater here next week. The
first news Of their death was received
here in the form of telegram to Man
ager Charles Braun of the theater.
The pair had appeared on Milwaukee
vaudeville stages several times, their
last engagement here having been
about six months ago. Mrs. Beverly
was the daughter of Mrs. Gertrude
Louis, 485 Twenty eighth street The
remains will be brought to Milwaukee
for burial. The death trail of the
storm was not confined to Illinois.
Mrs. Louis Brown, East Troy, was in
stantly killed when the barn on their
farm home was blown to bits by the
wind. Mr. Brown also had a narrow
escape from death when a barn on
neighboring farm was destroyed. The
storm, which assumed the proportions
of a cyclone, swept an area several
miles long in. Lafayette township,
southwest and west of East Troy. Sew
eral barns were destroyed and large
number of cattle killed. At other
points in southeastern Wisconsin the
storm did not assume serious proper
tons, although a heavy rain fell every
where. Near flood conditions prevailed
for few hours in parts of Racine,
when sewers proved inadequate to take
care of the rush of waters Interurban
traffic on the North Shore line was de-
layed for several hours as the result
Of the storms effect on the high ten
sion power lines. This trouble was
remedied in a short time, according to
officials of the road No trouble was
experienced on the interurban line to
East Troy, according to officials of the
Electric company. Reports received in
dictate that there is little danger at
present Of food trouble along the lower
reaches of the Milwaukee and Menomo-
nee rivers. The waters have receded
from the high levels Of last week, it is
stated. The storm affected trains but
slightly, according to officers Of the
Milwaukee and Northwestern roads,

Misplaced Comma Causes Mixup.

Clintonville, March 3O.-A misplaced
comma will cause a special meeting of
the Waupaca county board. Last fall,
at the annual meeting Of the board, a
resolution was passed which was de-
signed to bond the county for the sum
of $1S5,OOO Recently when looking
over the resolution preparatory to the
bond issue it was discovered that the
comma had been put in the wrong
place and that the board had really
voted to bond for $18,5OO.
