CATCH YOUNG CAR BORROWERS

JOY riding in a borrowed car has
become serious nuisance. The past
week or two there have been an unusu-
al number of instances of local cars
taken without permission while parked
on the streets. A car belonging to
Frank Gerl of Whitelaw was taken
there and abandoned in the city last
week.
Sunday evening a car of Carl Jacob
son was taken in the city and was
found near the Tinsel company fac
tory Monday morning.
A local resident attending a dance at
Centerville Sunday night by chance
recognized the jacobson car there and
this clew led to the arrest of five bows,
Henry Markowski Is, Joseph Komo-
rowsky Is, Victor Chda Is, Wenzel
Mrozowsky 13, and Mike Kaminski Is.
The lads wanted to go out to the
dance and simply borrowed the car
Markowsky drove the car out and
komorowski acted as chaffuer coming
home. This form of youthful recrea-
tion is rapidly ceasing to be amusing.

BAD MOTOR ACCIDENT

A car driven by son of Frank
kronforst just pulled out into the
highway at the home in the town of
Gibson yesterday morning when a big
car driven by a Rhinelander man came
around a curve in the road at good
speed and the result was disaster. Mrs.
KronfOrst was the only one seriously
injured. She arrived at the hospital
here shortly before noon unconscious.
1t was announced that there was
grave danger of her not surviving.
No other occupant of either car
was badly hurt. In the car with Mrs
kronforst was her husbands mother
who escaped with but minor injuries
Both cars were badly wrecked, Some
thing drastic will have to be done
some time to stop this unnecessary
slaughter on the public roads. We do
not know who is to blame for this ac-
cident, but someone is. 1t could not
happen if both used ordinary care.

MRS, HOOPER VISITS CITY

Mrs. Jessie Jack Hooper, Democratic
candidate for United States senator ad-
dressed an audience at the Opera
House last Friday evening A fair
sized audience was present.
Mr.. l.. j. Nash opened the meeting
with an explanation of the history and
present effect of the ten per cent law
that denies to Democratic state candi-
dates positions in the Democratic
column on the ballot at this election.
He also addressed himself to the is
sue which he said Senator LaFollette
has raised "Was Wisconsin loval to
America during the war;" and he made
indignant denial of the statement the
senator is now making on the stump
that "every straight thinking Ameri-
can is now ashamed of the war" He
then retired in favor of Mrs. NJ. II.
Murphy, who in a few well chosen
words introduced Mrs. Hooper.
1t would he futile to attempt to do
the candidates speech justice in
brief report. This woman, we have no
doubt, would rank among the ablest
dozen in the United States senate. The
personality is charming; the platform
poiSc is perfect. She spoke about an
hour and treated each subject touched
with clarity and condensation. Her
main points were the iniQuitous tariff
law just enacted, the loyalty of Wis
consin and the ending of war, although
she touched dozen other questions.
She said that it was unspeakably cruel
and insulting for Senator LaFollette
to charge the German-American of
Wisconsin with disloyalty to America
in the recent war.
In a dozen sentences she demolished
the present tariff act.
1t was fine speech shot through
with just enough humor to leaven il.
The Democrats of Wisconsin have a
candidate for senator of whom they
may well be proud and for whom they
may vote to citizen without misgiy-
ingS.

JAIL DELIVERY NIPPED

There were rumors of an attempt to
stage a jail delivery at the local bas-
tile last week.
Among other prisoners were Frank
Hitchcock awaiting trip to Waupun
to begin fifteen-year stretch, Frank
Sres due for ten years term and
Dominic Becker going to the Green
Bay Reformatory for two years.
A woman visitor, Thursday evening,
in coming out inquired why the water
faucet in the cell room was left run
ming The inquiry induced an exami-
nation and it was found that bar on
an outer window had been sawed near
ly through. The prisoners were ordered
to their cells and an outside watch es-
tablished for the night, Suspicion was
directed to Hitchcock and Becker but
no tools were found. The theory was
that the work was being done in the
early evening when day noises had not
subsided and that the water was left
running to further drown the noise of
the operations.
One could hardly blame Hitchcock
or Sires for beating IT. if opportunity
presented.
If an escape was planned, which ap.
pears to be the case, it was frustrated
purely by the casual curious question
Of the visitor.

ALMOST MISSED WEBDiNG

Fred Herman of the town of Liberty
was married last week on schedule
time but he came very near having the
ceremony postponed. A half hour be-
fore zero hour he remembered that he
had no license The legal notice had
been duly given but the all important
document itself had been overlooked.
He got to town in his flivver faster
than he will ever travel again and
found the court house a dark, bleak
heartlesS pile of stone. Time never
went so fast. What to do? He enlist
ed Sheriff Schuette who hurried him to
the home of the county clerk who was
found to be out of town. They
doubled back and reached the home of
the deputy clerk, Miss Edna Strodhof,
just as she was leaving to go to a
movie show, and the day was saved. 1t
was then 6.55 o'clock and the clergy
man would clear his throat and stand
up with the book at exactly p. m at
the brides home in the town of Rapids.
Thoughts of speed cop and a blow
out made cold tremors run up and
down his spine as he hit the high spots
going out with the precious paper but
toned in his bosom. He had thirty sec
onds to spare, it is said, as he pulled
up. No one had missed him. Who
ever missed a bridegroom, anyway, un-
til he is needed?

items a few years ago and shortly
after her return from the Industrial
School she became the bride of f.
Abtruskiewicz. Wednesday the hus-
band reported to the police that the
other half of his domestic sketch had
faded from the picture and that CO.
incidence was that his hivver and gold
watch were hard to locate since she
departed.
A warrant was issued for the appre-
hension of Lena who ought to be soon
found unless she abandons the Ford
which it is assumed she used in her
flight. If wife can't borrow her hus-
bands Henry and gold watch of what

MANITOWOC MAN HONORED

Henry Mulholland, official city
weigher and sealer, who was elected
vice president of the Wisconsin
Weights and Measures association at
its annual conference in Madison, re-
ceives this honor in recognition of his
pioneer work in standardizing weights
in Manitowoc, where he has served as
city Sealer since the local department
of weights and measures was establish
ed twelve years ago.
At 81 he is the oldest active city of
fetal in Wisconsin, and in point of
service is one of the oldest men in his
line of work in this country.
Born near Glasgow, Scotland, in
1871, Mr.. Mulholland came to the
United States in a sailing vessel. He
was then only 4, and the sea voyage
required six weeks. His father, cloth
printer, became foreman of textile
mill in FAN River, Mass, and was the
first mechanic to understand machin-
cry printing of cloth patterns in the
United States.
Five years after the migration from
Scotland the elder MulholIand was or
dered by doctors to get out-of-door
work. lie came vest with his wife and
three boys, of whom Henry was the
youngest, and settled on heavily tim
bered quarter section southwest of
Manitowoc. His was the first Scotch
family to establish residence in Mani
towoc county.
Despite his advanced age, Mr.. Mul-
holland is one of the most active CITY
sealers in Wisconsin At the recent
convention he introduced a resolution
to amend the present weights law so
as to permit city sealers-who are APP
pointed only in cities having 5000 or
more population-to test weights and
measuring devices in the country dis
tricts adjacent to their cities.
"ThiS system would give quick serv-
ice to country communities who now
must wait until a state Inspector can
arrange a trip" he declared.
Recently | got telephone call
from Society of Equity secretary
who wanted to buy some large scales"
he said "The society had chance to
buy a bargain for cash. The possible
saving was $50, but the members were
unwilling to buy unless sure of the ac-
curacy of the scales. While not having
any official jurisdiction in the matter,
| took my set of tested weights and
drove to the place, I3 miles away.
found the scales to be sufficiently ac-
curate. Then | reported my action to
the state office at Madison.
sour present law could be amended
to give city sealers the authority to
make inspections in nearby villages
which are seldom reached by the men
travelling from the state Office"
Mr.. Mulholland enjoys having
strangers make guesscs regarding his
age. His keen hearing and eyesight,
combined with a quick, firm step, are
apt to make new friends estimate his
age at about 60. This seems most re-
markablc when one learns that at 9 he
helped to clear the farm on which he
was raised, and that on reaching his
majority he enlisted in the Twenty
seventh Wisconsin Volunteers and
served under Gen. Banks until the
close of the civil war. Since 1850 he
has lived continuously in Manitowoc
county, - From Milwaukee Sunday

A heavy gale sprang up on Tuesday
last which continued with unabated vo-
lence until last night, The propeller
Favorte with three parges, took shell
ter in the bay, and, on yesterday, one
of them showed a signal of distress
The lifeboat was got ready, but her
services were not needed. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the barge had sprung a
leak, but was relieved by her pumps,
and the throwing over of consider
able number of her deck load.
The Two Rivers paper of yesterday
says that a considerable portion of the
new pier was washed away by the
heavy sea, and that the beach was
strewn with lumber, probably from
some vessels outside who encountered
the gale A portion of the standing
work the of Eighth street bridge was
washed off by the action of the sea,
which set in with great violence from

President Jos. Villas returned on
Tuesday last, from New York City,
after six weeks tuSsel with the Bulls
and Bears of Wall Street. Mr.. Villas
went east to purchase iron, spike, etc,
to fully complete the Milwaukee, Lake
Shore and Western Road and arrived
there Just in time to face and contend
with an effort of the Bulls and Bears
to lock up all the money they could, in
order to make the stock market contri-
butte its yearly dividends to these
moneycd princes. He had to abide their
time, but with his usual nerve and in
domitahle will, quietly sat down to wait
for a lull in the may dance for money
then raging, when he should negotiate
for the money and material he went
after, and, after a six weeks engage
ment, he came off victor as usual Be
fore leaving, he purchased and shipped
all the iron, spike, etc, to complete
the road in process of construction.
The dine from Milwaukee to Shcboy-
gan must be completed on the lst Of
November, and, as it now stands, moth
ing less than an earthquake can pre-
vent it, as the ties and other material
necessary for the whole line are al
ready purchased and paid for, and,
while the Stringency in the money mar
ket is still unabated, his arrangements
are such as 10 insure the payment of
all arearages in a very short time.
