WORK STILL IN COURT
Operation of Booze Making Device At
Fairmont Mimi.

Fair1nont, December 16.-What a
still looks like, how it works and what
it is-was illustrated in justice court
to large gallery, on request of the
court and counsel for the defendent,
William Debus, in the case OF the
The state outlined its case quoting
Section 20. Chapter 391 as the law
under which Debus was arrested, and
stating that no prior convictions mad
been secured here before under this
section of the law, it being the first
offense of the nature. 1t is in part
the having in possession with the In
tention Of manufacturing, a machine
or device for making moonshine IL
quor.
Game Warden Altenberg was the
first called to the stand to tell his part
In the story, which he did from the
time of leaving to the time Of the cap
tufe of the still. All testimony offers d
by this witness was objected to by at
torney Dougherty to the entrance OF
Debus on the farm. From this time on
until the close of the examination the
attorneys cla.shed again and again. Al
tenberg in testifying as to the smell
of the liquor said 81 never smelled
anything like it before" which called
for a demonstration Sy the audience.
Dougherty also asked the witness il
it had the smell of bonded liquor, or
Of some other kind which the witness
was not able to testify, but he did
assert that 1t was liquor.
Sheriff Carver, who was next called
to the stand testified as to the search
and the finding of the still, concealed
below the kitchen fotr in dugout.
Counsel for the defense have request
ed that the still be brought >intO court
for demonstration and a five minute
recess was called for the purpose of
bringing the still to the court room.
1t was not introduced as evidence how
ever, but merely for illustration.
At the conclusion of the sheriff S
testimony the state rested and the de-
fense made motion that the case be
dismissed This motion was denied
and Debus held to the district court
on his continuing bond of FIVE hundred
dollars

Chicago, December 17.-Prisoners
In the Cook county jail shorn of their
privileges since the escape Of Tommy
o'Connor and two confederates, last
Sunday. fnutinied early this morn
ing and for an hour pandemu reigned
within the stone walls OF the Dear
born street prison. The incarcerated
men shouted defiance to the guards
and beat their tin cups and pans up
On the cell walls and clainged the
bars Of thedr cell doors against their
fasteninEs.
Residents Of the neighborhood.
fearing another Jail delivery and an
exodus OF desperadoes. assembled
around the Jail, and Joined in the up
roar.
Police from a nearby station ans
wered riot call and dispersed the
crowd in front of the Jail, but they
were not admitted inside as Jailer
Peter Lawrence informed them his
guards had quieted the disturbance.
o'connor Escape Is Cause
The mutiny was said to be result
of O'Connors escape. Jailer Law
renee had sought TO punish the re-
naming prisoners by depriving them
OF matches anu OF their mattresses,
The mattresses were returned last
niSlt.
Inc search for O'Connor has turned
to an attempt TO identify the body OF
a man, who was shot and thrown into
a small creek near Padmyra Wis.
The description OF the deaa man did
not fit either O'Connor or his two
COMPANIONS in the jail break, but the
police are trying 10 connect hom as
the driver OF an automobile O'Connor
conhscated in his escape.
A farmer residing near Palmyra
told authorities that the man, with
two others had appeared at his home
and at the point OF a gun had forced
nI.n to give them food.
Several bits OF evidence seemed to
point to the theory that O'Connor,
heing to his haunts in ST., Paul, in
which he sought refuge before, may
have already killed one man with the
revolver he used to gain his freedom
from the county Jail. >

SHOWS THE RIGHT SPIRIT

Pleasing Act OF Dr.. Mudeking Pre-
sented Man With 5000 Cash.
This rather unusual story was pub
lished in The Waseca Herald:
To be handed present Of $4,000
was the pleasant experience OF Max
Schoenfeldt of Wilson township last
Friday. The sum was not-handed over
in cash but he was given receipt for
that amount in payment on his farm,
which meant the. same thing to him.
Something like two years ago
Schoenfeldt bought the DR.. Muedek-
ing farm in Section 20, Wilton, at a
price of $4,000. He made a small
payment down and as prices . and
crops had been good he expected to
have easy sailing. But when the bot
tom dropped out Of farm prices this
year things looked gloomy for MIR.
Schoenfeldt. his good wife and little
children.
Consequently, when he received a
notice to meet DR.. Muedektng In Wa
SEGA last Friday, he came to town
with gloomy forebodings. Imagine
of demanding what was Cue him, gave
Schoenfeldt a receipt for $4,000 and
agreed to pay the taxes on the farm
for the next three years. Anyone but
a rugged young farmer would have
died of heart failure under the cir
cumstances.
"Dr. Muedeking is a well known
eye specialist who lived in Owatonna
for generation and now resides in
Minneapolis. He felt that he was bet
ter able to take the losses due to the
drop in prices than the man he sold to
and acted accordingly. This world
would be much better place to- live
in il we had lots more mcL like him"
