SAFE ASYI UNI IN WISCONSIN

We reported last week the case of
John ukelich, of Two Rivers, who
was held by the local authorities on a
telegram from Montana, and who was
released on a writ of habeas corpus
only to be arrested on warrant
sworn out by a sheriff from Butte,
Montana The western officer imme-
diately made application on Gov
Blaine for extraditon Vukelich re-
tanned counsel and contested the mat
ter before the governor. There was a
hearing on the matter at Madison last
Thursday and after taking the case
under advisement for day the gov
ernor refused to honor the request
from Montana.
Extradition is often refused by a
chief executive for personal reasons or
because the governor thinks that a case
has not been made out for the justice
of the demand The refusal means
that Nukelch is safe from the Mon
tana charges while he remains in Wis
consin. lie was charged with selling
furniture to which he had not acquired
good title, it being alleged that he had
not paid all the instalments Of the
purchase price.

CIRCUIT COURT

Circuit court began on Monday to
take up the non-jury cases. The-frst
one was a case wherein Nick Kowalski
is suing Walter Bahr for damage to a
sidewalk and house at Franklin and
Fifteenth streets, caused by piling up
excavated quiCksand during the con-
structon of the big Franklin street
sewer in the summer of 1915. Kowal-
ski lost in municipal court, the court
there holding that Bahr was an agent
of the city and not an Independent
contractor and that the city was the
proper defendant. This is the third suit
to reach circuit court from the sewer
Job at that point. 1t was commenced
in 1916 and was pending several years
in municipal court and has now been
in circuit court about a year. 1t was
argued this morning and the court will
file decision later
A peculiar case was up yesterday. A
Mr.. Jagodzinski, of the Seventh ward
came home from the Oshkosh asylum
on parole some years ago, After two
years on parole the law presumes him
to be sane but before his two years
were up he gave a deed to some real
estate and he and his family received
the consideration. He went back to
Oshkosh and is now an inmate. There
being nothing on the register of deeds
record to show the flaw the apparent
title has since been several times trans.
ferred. The attempt is now being
made to establish that Jagodzinsky, al
though insane in law, was at the time
he made the deed sane in fact.
The usual grist of divorces is being
ground out, and default cases and e>
parte business are being heard.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

About the first of March next, the
Manitowoc Pilot will be enlarged to
an eight column paper, or four col

will contain more solid and interesting
reading matter than any other jour

on or about that date will be paper

subscribe for, and especially those of
Democratic principles. TO those of our
subscribers who have paid up their

thanks, and hope that those who are
yet in arrears will follow the example
of their companions, and we can as

BIG K. C. WEEK ENDED

The X. of C's wound up their new
clubhouse opening last week with a
dance Thursday evening and a public
reception and social Saturday evening.
The place was filled Thursday. There
were almost 200 gentlemen who paid
to be present and there were more
than that number of ladies.
Through some misunderstanding the
Two Rivers orchestra which the COM
mite thought it had engaged, failed to
appear and it took from 9 to 1915 to
get substitute orchestra with their
instruments and traps at the place
ready to commence the piping The
musicians playing at the Mikadow were
finally secured and furnished excellent
music, which with the glass-like new
floor went to make a splendid dancing
party. When the crowd thinned out
after midnight it was more enjoyable.
Saturday evening Judges Baensch,
tnlOupSk anu oCIlIlllul CoHNuNlCu JlC
drawing for the building lot which was
given away The lucky number was
held by Norre Rhode, city mail car
rier. The lot is worth at least $500,
and Mr. Rhode has been receiving
many congratulations Committee
members made some appropriate
speeches after the drawing and Mrs.
Meyer sang a few songs that were en-
ioyed, judging by the generous ap-
plause. The Urban orchestra played
until a late hour and hundreds of
non-members of the club went through
the new building and viewed the clubs
quarters.

towoc teams won, thereby conclusyely

paign.

Bay was composed of William Rahr,
Vernon Houghton and Harold Sporer
The Manitowoc team that won at home

fin Boyd and Theo. Schadeburg The

bate here and the boys of both teams

TRIED TO MARRY COUSIN

Walter Lawaecke, Marinette
young man, left here last month in
company with a girl of sixteen and
went through a marriage ceremony at
Menominee, Mich. He was arrested
the other day and in court pleaded his
marriage only to learn that he is not
married at all, as neither the law of
Wisconsin nor the law of Michigan
permits the marriage of first cousins
The couple were not asked as to their
relationship in Michigan and the girl
is said to have represented that she
was IS years of age. He pleaded guilty
to unlawful relations and was held
awaiting the presence of the state pro-
baton officer.

MOTOR BUS SERVICE

Regular motor bus service from
downtown to Riverview will soon be
put on The company is in process Of
incorporation and will soon be operat-
ing two REQ motor buses. 1t was in
evitable that some such provision
would be made TO serve the hospital
and thckly populated territory beyond
if the traction company failed to ex-
tend its lines out that way. 1t is not
improbable that the motor service may
extend to Two Rivers and Mishicot
this summer.

/ made but little mention of this
member of the pioneer bar in my gen
eral sketch, because he was one of
those selected for special mention.
George Reed, as he was called when
first began to know him about 1854
1855, came to Wisconsin at a very
early date. A member Of his family
informs me that he was a resident of
Chicago as early as 1880. Just when
he decided to make his home in Mani
towoc does not appear, nor is there
any formal record, when he became a
member of the Mantowoc bar. He
removed first from Chicago to Wauke-
sha county, Wisconsin, and was also in
Milwaukee for a time In the winter
of 1916 he was a member of the first
Wisconsin Constitutional convention
as one Of the representatives from
Waukcsha county He also represent
ed that county in the Territorial legis-
lamrc of 1917 and 1915.
The first mention I find Of him in
connection wifb fbo Af,rifoo.oc bor fs

contains his husipess card .s ,roc.

In any event the September term of

can learn his early practice was largely
in connection with real estate matters,
which was practically true of all law
yers at that period.

Judge Henry D. Harlan. president of

'"rhe Johns Hopkins Hospital has

attention. nor more than $1,000 for
an operation. But it has said that
when more than these sums is
charged the hospital authorities must
be informed of the circumstances and

The trustees adopted those recon-
mendations after consultation with
the medical board of the hospital"
Judge Harlan continued, because it

fees had been charged. The medical
