LEFT CHILDREN
in >HAPLESS WAY
Grady PosteIIe and Wife
Said to Have Deserted
Three Children.
is ARRESTED HERE

Three children have been found in
Chicago, alleged to have been aband-
oned by their parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Grady Postelle, who live in Kenosha at
$50 Ann street. Relatives of the fam
lily who learned that the children had
been thrown upon the world cut loose
from their home moorings, became in.
terested in the situation and enlisted
themselves on the side of the children.
The result was that on Friday night
Grady Postelle was taken into custody
at his home here by of--@S =. RAJ
schelt and Studer and charged with
abandonment of his own children. Mrs
Mcneil in behalf of the service depart
ment of the police investigated the
case and talked with Mrs. Postelle,
who with her husband lives at the Ann
street address, The policewoman was
satisfied as result of the interview
that the mother Of the children was
not mentally competent to appreciate
her responsibility towards the children.
Two in Lifeboat Resort.
Two of the small children belonging
to the Postelles were found in the Life
boat resort at Chicago. The third
child was in a hospital recuperating
from an operation. Indignant rela-
tives-in-law who found the children in
their distressful condition in Chicago
appealed to the authorities for help in
forcing the parents to take a new atti-
tude Of responsibility.
Postelle when brought to the police
Office had a story of hard luck to tell
He said that he had been in Kenosha
only four weeks and been at work only
two weeks out of the four. He said
that he was not able to care for his
children but hoped that he would be
able to secure a permanent position
and then be able to provide a place
for them.
The relatives who interviewed in the
case insisted that the parents had neg
lected the three children ever since
they were born and that they had de-
pended upon relatives and others to
look after the family. Postelle will be
taken to Chicago to answer the charge
of abandonment of his children some
time today

Hartzell, Arrested in Chi
cago, Had Strange Ca
reer in KenOsha.
RECALL WILD CAREER
Once Stole Stuffed Alligator I;
Once Robbed Egyptian Kings
Gold Charm.

The story Of Johnny HartzelPs ca
reer in crime sounds like a play by
Lord Dunsany. Egypt: the robbery
of the jewel in the forehead of the
mummy; escape of the thief along an
opalesque river; pursuit of the Egyp-
tian gods in vengeance; return OF the
Jewel to the mummy's forehead;
peace at last once more in the tomb
of the Pharaoh.
Once Johnny Hartzell stole the
golden amulet of the Egyptian
Pharaoh Menes from the Haskell
museum.
And once in 1916 Haskell was &C
cused of stealing an ancient violin In
Kenosha, according to Secretary OF
Police Emil Meissner, the property of
DR.. l. NJ. Russell, and false teeth from
other dentists Offices.
On the night of March 2, 1916, DR..
Russell's office was entered and vio-
lin, 135 years old, valued at $3.50, was
stolen. The violin bore the inscrip-
ton "Klotz I'm Mitten Valid 1882
That same night, other dentist offices
were entered, including that of DR..
Kaltenbach, DR.. Stephens and DR.. Tux
ford, and various articles stolen. The
office of Attorney Calvin Stewart was
likewise entered and a grey chinchilla
coat Stolen.
Hartzell Was on Trial.
Johnny Hartzell while a parole vio-
lator from the state prison at Joliet,
ILL.,, was arrested March 10, 1916 and
charged with the burglary of the den
fist offices in Kenosha. He was
brought back here for trial. A. L.
Drury was then district attorney; R,
V. Baker, attorney for the defense,
and at the close of the trial in cir
cult court before Judge Belden, June
5, 1915, the jury returned verdict
of not guilty.
Soon after Hartzell got out of the
Kenosha county Jail he was arrested
in Chicago, caught in the act of rob-
bling the home of the cashier of the
Chicago Title and Trust company.
Mystery of Golden Amulet.
Hartzell was a man of mystery, a
specialist in eccentric thefts. When
boy in Michigan he was first con-
victed and then paroled for stealing
a stuffed alligator. In Kenosha he
stole false teeth and an antique violin
He was once accused of stealing the
$4,000 Oda Noyes, collection in the
Chicago Art Institute.
But his most spectacular burglary
for which he never served time, was
the robbery of the Egyptian amulet.
The amulet was fully $500 years
old, and had been dug up by explorers
in the bed of the river Nile. 1t was
believed to be the golden amulet worn
to ward off evil spirits by King Menes
one of the ancient zpharaoahs of Egypt
and reposed in the Haskell museum
an object of interest to students of
history and antiquarians.
John c. Hartzell was accused of the
theft. He was given trial and con-
victed, and then granted new trial
While this was pending, the golden
amulet was mysteriously returned to
its place in the Haskell museum
Hartzell escaped the penitentiary
that time.
Now Johnny Hartzell is in Jail
charged with pilfering from the tills
of butter and egg merchants.
1t is a far call from the days when
he was accused of robbing the gold
band of the Egyptian king.

CUSTER CASE SET AHEAD

Judge Ed. L. Bryan. in district
court Wednesday, continued until
Nav 5 the hearing of the case against
c. A. Williams, probate judge OF Can
Won county, who will appear to show
cause why he should not be removed
from Office. At that time demurrer
and a motion to strike, filed by attor-
ney Tor Judge Williams, will submit
their case on briefs.
1t was announced that an agreement
had been reached between the attor-
news on both sides to submit briefs
and stipulations.
The hearing, which was to have
been held Wednesday. is the result OF
a complaint filed by A. B. Martin and
Frances Martin, contending that the
probate Judge is not resident OF the
county seat and that he has failed IN
the performance OF public duties.
Judge Williams recently committed
minor son of Mr.. and Mrs Martin to
the state industrial school, and the
complaint filed by the Martins
charges that the parents were not ad-
mitted to the hearing of the boys
case and that no evidence was taken
in the lads defense.
Damages of $500 are also asked.

Rushing to Destruction

The assassination OF the vicar-gcn-
eral OF the Catholic church at the hand
OF the Russian soviet shocks but does
not surprise a world which. for five
years has watched a great people
rushing blindly TO destruction under
the urge OF a mental disease as dan
gerous as rabies and blind to every ira
dition OF honor and decency.
Proletarian revolutions have always
been singularly alike in two respects.
That is in the destruction OF national
wealth and resources and an uncom-
promising hostility to religion. Many
years OF painful effort will be neces-
sary to restore the former while any
effort to lead a nation into the paths
OF infdclity and atheism brings retri-
button quicker and sharper than any
other national sin.
We can only judge the future by the
past and the greatest fact of history
is that nation cannot survive the loss

Lenine and Trotzky have been COM
PEELED to restore the system of private
property. Later, il they are spared
the assasin's knife, they will be glad
to restore the rights of the church.
The plea that the vicar general had
been found guilty OF treason will car
ry little weight with the public at
large. A drumhead court martial is
liberal and intelligent method OF con-
veying justice compared with the al

figured Russia during the past five
years.

Unreasonable Men

Just how some men regard cigarette
smoking by women is Illustrated in a
recent suit for divorce in which the
husband asked TO be released from his
obligations because his wife who had
accompanied him to a furniture deal
ers' convention had disgraced him by
smoking in public. He also COM
planned that she allowed other men to
present her with bank account and
wearing apparel. These latter are
time honored methods of obtaining
entrance to the divorce courts but the
cigaret smoking episode is an iniquity
which we are still naive enough to
blush over.

II is Crool

The news of the cruel treatment OF
bootleggers in San Francisco at the
hands OF unprincipled prohibition
agents will doubtless arouse the just
indignation OF the entire country The
law has made provisions for the pun
ishment OF prohibition violators who.
when caught and convicted, face the
almost certain alternative OF serving
from ten days to some months IN a
horrid jail and paying a fine represent
ing the profits OF two or three days
strenuous labor. That they should be
subjected to further indignity and pun
ishment is shame. particularly when
it is reflected that the occupation OF
bootlegging is affected mostly by men
who thrive in stealthy ways and sneak
about alleys and back entrances equal
ly ready to run or profteer. To slap
one of these gentry is an outrage that
should be punished by decoration.
