TWO CHARGED
WITH SERIOUS
GRIMES HERE
CARL ROOT OF ST. LOUIS AND
FRANK DEITZ OF ALMA AR
RESTED BY OFFICERS.
TlUO Others Paid
Fines on Charges

Alma was badly shocked the latter
part Of last week when it became
known that Frank Deitz Of this city
was under arrest charged with tax
ing indecent liberties with nine
year old girl, that Carl Rott of St.
Louis, aged about II years, had been
arrested charged with statutory
crime in connection with II year
old girl and two others, Herman
Jockwig and Alva Lawler, also of
st. Louis had been arrested charged
with contributing to the delinquency
of a minor, these two being arrested
in connection with the Root case.
Frank Deitz, a resident Of this city
for about l8 years, was arrested
Thursday and Immediately arraigned
before Joseph Biggerstaff, justice of
the peace. Bail was fixed at $4,000
and the examination set for Thursday
May IL. 1t is being held today be-
fore Justice Biggerstaff. Bail was
not secured for Deitz and he was
taken to the county Jail at Ithaca.
The Root case is somewhat pc
culiar. Lawler met the II year old
girl, concerned in the case and in
troduced her to Root and Jockwig,
who were in the latte-'s automobile
Root borrowed the automobile and
proposed taking the young girl home.
First he took her for a ride.
Root as a result of the happenings
on the trip was arrested OH statu-
tory charge. He was arranged be-
fore Justice Biggerstaff. Bail was
fixed at $4,000, which he could not
furnish and he is in the county Jail
at Ithaca. He was bound over to
circuit court for trial.
Lawler for introducing the girl to
Root and Jockwig for lending the
automobile to Root, were arrested
charged with contributing to the de-
linquency Of the girl. Justice Big
gerstaff imposed fine of $2500
and costs on Jockwig or thirty days
and a fine of $2500 and costs or
60 days in the county Jail on Lawler.
They arranged for payment Of the
fines and costs.
The names Of the young girls in
the two cases are being withheld by
The Record, which does not believe
that in either case they should be
held before the public eye as
there is no intent or desire on the
part of TIE Record to put the names
Of apparently innocent children be-
fore the public in these cases.

PdUing Work Held
Up by Crushed Stone

The paving work on South Wood
worth avenue was held up last Thurs
day when it was found that large
amount of fine stone was present in
the crushed stone which was secured
for the work, which necessitated
screening the stone to eliminate the
finer stones or the securing of other
crushed stone.
The stone had been taken from the
freight cars and dumped on the
street where it would be handy TO the
mixer, when Manager Reynolds OBJ
jected TO the crushed stone for the
reason set forth above. The firm of
Bartling & Holmes Of this city, which
has the contract for the paving job,
Immediately got in touch with the
firm that supplied the stone and it
was removed.
This has caused a holdup of several
days in the work of putting in the
pavement, which is regretted as much
by the contractors as by the city, as
they had hoped to have the work all
completed by this time.
Other stone has now arrived for the
paving work and the expectation is
that the work will be finished within
few more days.
