S7O,OOO.OOO WRITTEN
in STATE RISK FUND
Kenosha County One of the Counties
Which Has Contributed
Insurance to State.

Madison, Wis.-Insurance policies
totaling over $7O,O00,OO0 are in force
under the state fire Insurance fund,
protecting state, county, city, school
district and library properties in Wis
consin, according to a summary of the
work of the k7und, prepared by the
state insurance department.
Since the state fire fund was es-
tablished in 1908, income from pre-
miums on state and non-state prop
erty and interest, totaled $1,467,794,
the summary shows. During the fs-
cal year ending July 1, 1928, receipts
amounted to nearly 100000. Approx
mately $4,000 in losses were paid out
during the year.
A campaign has been launched by
w. Stanley Smith, insurance commits
sioner, to get counties and cities to
take advantage of the state insurance.
The rates of the state fund are said
by officials to be twenty-five per cent
below those of stock companies. 1t is
further pointed out that over a mil
lion dollars has been saved to state
and other agencies since the fund was
established.
While losses paid from the state
fund have varied from year to year,
a tabulation of the state department
shows that premiums have increased
from year to year almost without ex-
ception. The balance in the fire fund
at present is approximately 100000.

catch if possible any further words
which he may utter regarding the
crime. On Friday evening he appear
ed to be very much relieved because
he, had unburdened his conscience.
Gaining strength, he tried to talk once
more to his son, Gustave Spranger,
who has acted as an Interpreter of the
deathbed statement of the dying man.
According to the son, the old man
told him that he met Herman at
funeral at Park Falls two years ago
and that the stepson drew him aside
and whispered to him that the officials
had discovered that Sam was missing
but knew no one upon whom to blame
the cause for his disappearance.

day may bring out more details of the
alleged crime.
On Friday evening Kenosha wom-

Symmonds and told him that rela-
tive, Sam Frantz, had strangely dis
appeared several years ago and sug-
gested that the two mysteries might

caught from the old mans lips Friday
appeared to be Sam Francis.
Had Been a Bartender.
This Sam Frantz, according to the
story had been bartender and had
last been heard of in the northern part
Of the state. The Kenosha woman was
unable to establish absolutely the
date for his disappearance but thought
that it had hardly been as long as
thirteen years.
This angle was also being investi-
gated by the auth critics at Park Falls
to determine whether or not such a
man ever lived in that community.

RICH in HOLE
ATSTATE PRISON
Ex-convict Who Tried to
Kill Lieut.. Rock, Con-
fined in Solitary.
BEATS THREE GUARDS

For battling three guards, one of
whom was SO severely beaten that ne
was confined in the hospital for several
days, Henry Rich, alias Edward Bas-
ner. who was sentenced in municipal
court to IL years in Waupun for, at
tempting on July IL, to kill Lieuten-
ant Charles Rock of the police depart
ment. has been confined to solitary
confinement by prison officials.
According to Joseph Sabiel, state
parole agent, Rich is one of the most
closely watched prisoners which the
state has ever had inside the prison
walls. There is not a moment of the
day or night when the vigil of the
guards is relaxed He has gained for
himself the reputation of being a
slough customer" The state official
said that to gain such reputation in
prison where bad men are the rule,
REQUIRES a particular vicious strain of
desperateness.
His three fights with the guards, 1t
is said. followed reproofs for viola
ton of prison rules. On each occa-
sion he instantly demonstrated his re-
sentiment by springing at the throat
of the guards, after first, with light
ming rapidity, knocking their guns
from their hands.
Ordinary. Punishment Futile.
On each of the first two occasions
he was subjected to punishment for
the fights. This punishment, however,
seemed to have no effect upon him.
AS last resort the prison authorities
ordered him into 'tthe hold" During
the daytime he is brought out and
made to work, and at night and during
the noon hour he is ''cut out" from
the rest of the prisoners and placed
in solitary confinement with special
guard.
AS another means of marking him as
particularly desperate character, he
is dressed in stripes, instead of the
customary prison jeans. 1t is said that
there are very few of the "stripers"
in the prison, for this method is only
employed to tag>the worst characters,
in order that the guards may instant
ly recognize them and be on the look
out for trouble.
Attempted to Kill Rock.
I Rich, who had done time in the
Pennsylvania state prison and at Joliet
attempted to kill Lieutenant Charles
Rock, when in company with Detective
John MeClusky, he went to So Main
street to arrest the man for the Hi
nois authorities for jumping parole.
Rich brushed past Rock on the back
stairs and attempted to make his es-
cape by running for it. Rock fired in
the air, and instantly Rich whirled
