years, held in the county jail for six
months for stealing an auto robe,
broke his parole last week but was
soon caught and placed in Jail again.
Heath was paroled to Fred Meyers,
a South Lancaster farmer, short
time ago. Last Monday Mr.. and Mrs.
Meyers came to Lancaster on bust
ness, leaving young Heath alone on
the place When they returned they
found the young man gone. Gone also
were yaluables consisting of new
shoes, new auto gloves, watch, new
shirt, pistol, money and other articles.
In fact young Heath had taken what
ever looked good to him.
Sheriff Holmes was notified and the
official began teIephoning. He locat-
ed Heath at Cassville, where the lad
was preparing to make his getaway to
foreign parts. Mr.. Holmes went to
Cassville and brought the young man

to help myself from stealing" the
youth said. All the property was re-
covered.

"OIL CAM FIRES KILL
FOUR, INJURE EIGHT

Four deaths and eight severly burn
ed as result of careless handling OF
kerosene in Wisconsin during the
past few weeks has established a
state record in kerosene fires. In
most cases kerosene was poured on
a fire to hurry it along" That these
figures are probably incomplete is the
belief of I. j. Cunningham, state oil
inspector.
The greatest hardship occurred
near Amigo where explosion of an
oil lamp severely burned Bert and
Orwell Nichols. In their night clothes
the brothers started to drive to the
doctor. A mile from Amigo the horse
broke harness, running away. The
journey had to be completed bare
foot across the snow and ice.

COURT RULING DECIDES
VOTE AGAINST SOCIALIST

MANITOWOC.-J Judge Kirwan af-
ter hearing arguments in the Fourth
Ward aldermanic election dispute de-
cided that the two ballots upon which
the issue hinged were not votes for
Edward Hanson, giving the election
to Charles BouriI by a vote Of 23O to
229.
The two ballots which Socialists III
the city council maintained were cast
for Hanson, were improperly marked.
Originally, the election was declar-
ed a tie and the two candidates had
agreed to decide it by the drawing
process, Bouril winning. Then the
Socialists demanded a recount. A
vote by the aldermen was taken, re-
sulting in Hanson's election. Court
action followed.

The night riders are abroad in Indi-
annapolis
1 always have desired to know where
and what lost city" was. That desire
and others were satisfied Friday night,
when l toured the city with Sergeant
RusselPs squad of might riders" one Of
the new forms of police protection.
We started ont from police headquar-
ters at $50 o'clock at night In the auto
mobile formerly used by Charles Jewett,
ex-mayOr of Indianapolis. In the squad
were Sergt. Charles J. Russell and Pa
trolmen Ed Ball, Andy CIary and Joe
Klaiber. Andy drove the car.
From o'clock until 10 we roved over
the south part Of the city, stopping at
police substation 4 to call headquarters.
Each squad leader Is required to call the
police captain on the half hour.
Then the sergeant surmised "lost city
would be going and, in accordance with
Inspector Of Police Cletus Weaver's in
structions that I be shown the town."
we headed out Indiana avenue and
passed the canal. On the farther side
of the canal was a rough path which
we took into the bottoms for about a
hundred yards. Here we left the auto
mobile and proceeded on foot, through
back alleys and over stubble and rock
to the rear entrance Of the famed lost
city" The building itself Is a two-story
ramshackle, insecure "hangout" for the
negroes who would rather not be seen in
the more frequented places. where police
officers make nightly inspections.

sounds Of stamping feet and clapping

steps, Sergeant Russell leading. He
opened the door suddenly and we entered.
An oppressive silence at once fell over
the crowd Of about thirty negroes and
negresses. 1t was the police" The
night riders distributed themselves
through the place. The keeper of the
house, who was known to the officers,
yOuched for each negro who had come
to lost city" He said Saturday night
the place is wide open, but tonight every
body here IS s~hard- working boy" Each
room was searched for fugitiyes
The main room, where the dancing is
held, is about twenty feet wide and
eighteen feet long. In this space the me-
groes were huddled. An old piano, some
chairs and a stove also helped to fill
the room. And yet, the police told me,
on the next night, many negroes would
gather there and dance and sway to the
savage tom-tom music which they like
so well. After a thorough search we de-
parted AS We stumbled back 10 our
