H0LD-UP MEN
ARE SENTENCED
Given RefOrmatOry Term For
Crime Staged at Edge
water

Two former Ladysmith boys figured
in the hold-up near Edgewater, May 5
which resulted in the young despera-
does getting nothing but trouble in
their attempt to get something for
nothing.
The young men who staged the
wild west stunt were Ed. and Wal
ter Carter and Leonard Crye. whose
homes are near Yarnell. One of the
Edward Foster. son of EX-Sheriff A.
f. Foster, of this city. and George Ben
son. whose parents formerly resided
on f. WOrden-av.. this city, now resi-
dents of Brentwood, was the young
man who put the robbers to flight.
The young desperadOes had lain
around the vicinity of Edgewater and
Brentwood for tile biggest part of the
week, waiting to get the roll of
George Sherlock. a farmer who had
come to the neighborhOod a short time
before the crime was committed and
had purchased the farm which A. E.
Foster had been running the past year
Hands Up"
They watched Sherwood go to the
bank and supposed he had a large
amount of money when he left that
institution and in company with Ed
ward Foster and Ernest Oberg started
for home. They secreted themselves
in a quiet place near the railroad
track and when the intended victims
came along put on masks, ,Sprang out,
covered them with revOlverS and
rifles and ordered them to throw up
their hands. The men complied with
the command. They were then or
dered to place their money on the
ground Sherlock laid down an empty
handkerchief on the ground: Oberg
followed suit with an empty pocket
book. and Foster deposited 20 cents of
$40 which he had in his clothes.
Just at this critical time George
Benson. of Brentwood, came along and
the would-be robbers took to their
heels. Benson cOmprehended the sit
uatiOn and pursued the fleeing men
who hid in the brush and opened fire.
Benson returned the fire, but none OF
the shots were effective, ON either
side.
The sudden interruption prevented
the stick-up men from even getting
Fosters 20 cents
Two Plead Guilty
The following day the young men
were arrested and taken to Hayward,
where Ed Carter, the oldest of the
trio maintained innocence when ar
raigned in court, May 13. Walter
Carter and young Crye plead guilty
and they were brought before Judge
Wickham who was holding court in
Ladysmith to receive sentence. They
admitted their part in the crime.
Sheriff III. p. Fuley and Dist. Atty. ].
G.. Davis, of Sawyer county. brought
the boys here.
Walter Garter received a sentence of
five years in the house Of correction at
Green Bay and Leonard Crye drew a
sentence of three years in the same
institution.

NOT GUILTY OF
WOMAN'S CHARGE
Tony Man Establishes Alibi
When Tried For AccOsting
Lady

Ben Oleson was adjudged not guilty
of accosting Mrs. Mary Bishop, by
Justice Kirvan in court Saturday
morning.
Although Mrs. Bishop identified Mr..
OlesOn as the man who proposed that
they take a little ride" as she sat in
her car in front of COpp's shoe store
on Worden-av. at about l 10 o'clock
on May 9th. she had no witness to sub
Stantiate her testimony. At the time
she alleged the Otfense took place, she
did not at once call her husband from
the shoe store and tell him about it.
but said that she waited until he came
out and had gotten into the car and
started it, before she told him about
it. BY that time the man had disap-
peared around the corner at the Man
ley hotel she said She and her hus-
band followed the man and she pointed
out Ben Olson standing on the Fritz
block corner as the man who had in
suited her. Mr.. Bishop found a cop
i'll front Of Kings Cafe stated the case
to him, and OlesOn was then arrested.
Ben is Bashful
Oleson denied all knowledge of the
matter. In court he accounted for all
the time from the time he left Tony
at about 1O:30 a. m..pn May 9, with
a white man and TIVE Indians, until
30 in the afternoon which was after
the alleged offense took place His
alibi was substantiated by the testi-
mony Of DR.. Day. who said that Ole
son was in his office from about II 80
until about 30 OleS0n testified that
he was not standing in front of Copp's
shoe store al any time on May 9. JOS
to the good character of Mr.. Oleson,
OF the good character of Mr. OlesOn,
and ani6f1g other things said that Ben
was baShfuI. so that it was not likely
that he would commit the act charged
against him.
Here On Business
Tt was shown that Mr. Oeson was
business He came over to transact
some business with the Flambeau Riy
er Lumber Co. for whom he had
worked III the woods, and to have some
dental work done. The complaining
witness testified that the man who ac-
costed her spoke a Scandinavian dia
lect. and Oleson admitted that he came |
from Norway II years ago and could |
not speak the pureSt English. Asked |
if he had ever been arrested, Ben adj |
mitted that he had. once. for carrying |
a rifle into picture show, about nine
years ago.
City Attorney Kirwan represented |
the city in the suit and j. w. Carow |
was attorney for OlesOn. Justice Kir-
van said he thought there was a rea
sOnable doubt of OlesOn's guilt, in |
view of his straightforward testimony |
and the strong alibi and therefore ac-
quilted him. He took occasion to re- |
mark that if any he-yamps are con-
victed in his court they will get the |
limit of the law. Our women must be |
protected.

Mr.. Warren estimated that European

nearly $4,000, 100000 and he said that
Europe must send her products to this
country irrespective of import duties
He especially urged tariff on farm
products.

Employers Mutual Operates

offices are maintained in Milwaukee
Minneapolis and St. Paul. The COM
pany at present employees about one
hundred people.
The Employers Mutual operates en-
tirely on the direct selling plan, hav-
ing no agents on a commission basis.
This is largely responsible for the
economic management. The entire
management cost of the Employers
Mutual is less than fifteen per cent,
whereas the overhead cost of stock
companies is in the neighbOrhood of
40 per cent. The company writes at
rates ten per cent below stock COM
panies and in addition to this saving,
it is paying a dividend of twenty per
cent upon expiration Of the policy and
an additional deferred dividend three
years later when the earnings of a
given year have been definitely deter
mined.

The Employers Mutual Liability In
surance company was organized in
1911 and began business on Septem-
Der LIST of that year, the same lay on
which the Compensation Law became
effective.
The Compensation Law placed upon
industry certain definite liabilities in
cases of industrial accident and some
of the large Wisconsin employers be-
lieve that by an organization Of en-
ployers the cost Of the new law in
dustry would be less than if insurance
were carried in the stock insurance
companies operating in the state.
On account of the saving in COM
pensation insurance premiums which
the Employers Mutual has made year
after year for its policy-holders the
company has grown tremendously and
today writes about one-third of the
entire business in the state and as
much as any three companies com
bined.
For the purpose of giving greater
service to policy-holders who have
operations in surrounding states, the
company is now licensed to do bust
ness in Michigan, Illinois and Mimi
