GEE WIFI CAPT.
CLAUSEN'S STUNG
Rock and Milwaukee Off
GERS Looking Up His
Fine Ford Sedan.
SURE, IT'S A HOT ONE
Cicchini's under Bonds Of
$4,000; Knoblauch and
LEM $4,000.

You can't find anything hotter, even
on broiling day like this, than Capt.
Emil Clausen if you intimate to him
that the nice Ford sedan of his is a
hot" car. The whole town today was
having the "ha-ha" over it, but the
captain was decidedly glum and tar
and his replies to all questions were
sharp, short and to the point.
"A stolen carr" he cried today, when
somebody approached him on the sub
ject. what kind of bunk are they
trying to hand out to you? I guess
know stolen car when | see one and
I'm the last person to get fooled on
that matter. I not only purchased the
car in a perfectly legitimate way, but
have the whole history Of it showing
that it was straight. It formerly be-
longed to Soren Graugaard. I got it
at a bargain price because the man
who bought it had been paying off on
the installment plan and was unable
to meet his payments"
Bring On the Ice, Waiter!
]. In short, the captain insister that
his car was as cool as cucumber and
the suggestion that it was anything
else made him sore. He invited all the
force and visiting detectives just to
come out once and look over the car.
Up until noon today the local police
and Milwaukee sleuths had been too
occupied with other cars, but they are
making special trip to the captains
donnicile later, towards the cool Of the
evening when the barometer and Their
mometer will be more in the police
captains favor.
+ 1t is said that the captain paid about
$3.50 for the car and that it is as good
as new and "sure was bargain" The
Investigators admitted that they were
looking up the history of the captains
Ford and sid that it had been reported
that the motor>number on the car had
filed off, yet stated that they were not
quite sure whether the car was stolen
one and were "still working on the
case"
Makes George Stevens to Laugh.
"It makes me to laugh" young
girl from Holland used to say, and
that was the state of mind George
Stevens, assistant in the city ASS SCISSORS
Office, was in today when he heardi
about the investigation of the captains
car. The police are looking up the
record of young Stevens Ford sedan
also, believing that it, is also shot"
one and belonging to the same bunch
of cars as those to have been stolen at
Milwaukee and unloaded here through
the alleged operations of the brothers
Cicchini,
TAnd the police bawled me out"
cried George Stevens, laughing in great
contentment, because | didn't come
upstairs aud have them look up the
record Of my car before bought it.
Ha-ha!"
Ha-ha and har-har, so say we all
of us.
