WHEN TEASED, CHARGE

BRANDON, Wis.-John Schultz, II,
wanted in connection with the fatal
shooting of Gustie Jagato, 12-year-old
girl near here Nov. A. was brought
back to Crandon Monday after being
arrested by Warden Andrews, Iron
Mountain, Mich, who overheard the
boys conversation with another boy,
relative to the shooting, while riding
IN a seat behind the youth in train
bound for Amasa.

he was being chided about. Parents Of
the boy declare the shooting to be &C
cidental, asserting the children did
not know the gun was loaded.
Following the shooting Schultz and
his father are alleged to have dis
appeared, going into lumber camps.

MADISON PEDAGOG FACES
ACTION FOR HEART BALM

MADISON, Wis.-Dec. 8.-Testi-
mony given in an adverse examination
in the suit brought by Miss Gwendolyn
Moore, Milwaukee school teacher, for
breach of promise against Perry Fess,
Madison, was filed in the Dane county
Circuit Court here yesterday.
The girl charges that he continually
''put it off" whenever the question of
marriage arose between them, and al
ways advised her to take trip to
change her mind or asked her to
teach a little longer.
IN the spring Of 1920, she says in
her testimony given before Court Com
missioner Rufus B. Smith Of Madison.
that she pressed the question.
"He asked me to teach another
year"
After finishing that school year she
took a trip east at his request and
when she returned he still refused to
wed, she claims.
HE thought that l ought to teach
another year because he was so fl
nancially embarrassed after getting out
of the army that he thought he would
be more fit to marry me in another
year." she testified.
Miss Moore states that she met Fess
eight years ago while camping one
summer on Lake Waubesa.

ENRAGED LUNATIC SETS
FIRE TO FARMERS BARN

FOND DU LAC, Wis.-Enraged be-
cause he was refused food at the Geo.
Stanchfield farm, a man, believed to
have escaped from an Iowa or Mime
sofa insane asylum, late Monday at
tackled farm hands with pitchfork
and then set fire to barn, causing a
loss estimated at 100000 when three
adjacent buildings were also destroy
ed.
The supposed lunatic, who gave the
police three different names, was cap
tired and placed in Jail here. An in
vestigation is being made to deter
mine whether he escaped from an
asylum.
The man was picked up Sunday by
the local police. He first gave his
name as Peter Denoyells, which he
later changed to Peter Reynolds, and
said he had come from some place in
Iowa or Minnesota. Released Monday
he went to the Stanchfield farm and
gave his name as Cecil Hall. Denied
food, he dashed about the farm yard
in a frenzy of rage, finally picking UP
a pitchfork and attacking the en-
ployes. Allen Stanchfeld, a son of
the farm owner, ran from the house
with a shotgun and the stranger fed
to the barn. Running to the haymow
he set fire to the hay, and the blaze
soon was beyond control, spreading to
three adjacent buildings.
The flames cut off the mans escape
and he dashed to window, drove his
first through it, seized a piece of glass
and slashed savagely at his throat.
Then he leaped from the window, but
fell unconscious before he had run 20
feet. He was brought to a hospital
here, where physicians said he has
slight chance of recovery.
