COPS FIND LID
OFF ON SUNDAY
Police Nail Down Seven
Places Where .M0onshine
is Kept and Sold.
BUSY WEEKEND WORK

"Clamping the lid on" was the game
played by the police over the weekend,
and say, they played it with venge-
ance.
You would have thought it, had you
seen Sam Sturman on Sunday after
noon chasing down Prairie avenue
after police officer with pitcher OF
moon. Laff? I'll say we did.
It was officer Paul Rhode, new
officer, and when he walked into stur-
mans soft drink emporium (the hard
boozey kind of place. asked for a
"shot of moon" he got it. Sturman
poured out a glassful of kicking mule
to the man on the other side of the
counter, who looked to him like any
other bona fide and thirsty customer
But the officer in plain clothes in
stead of swallowing the "pizen" start
ed out of the door, one-two, one-two.
Sturman's eyes rolled, and turning
his toes into double quick marck,
he made for the door too. Oh, they
were pretty pair on Prairie avenue
in the fine December sunshine.
Biff, Bang! The Glass Is Mine!
Rhode whipped out his new billy
club, and turned. He marched back
ward while Sturman marched forward
and swung with the billy with one hand,
while Sturman, hot and indignant,
reached for his glass, reached for the
glass which the plucky officer defend
ed with the other.
Charley Rock, lieutenant of police.
Charley is not so slim as he used to
be, but he ran. Sergeant Melbusch,
in the police car, block away turned
the nose of the Nash that way, but
he laffed so, to see Charley Rock run,
and Sturman run and Rhode marching
backwards and swinging his billy that
he almost ran into telephone pole.
Just than Sturman saw Rock and the
police car and he ran-but the other
way. He ran back to the shelter Of
his soft drink emporium, with a celer-
ity that even exceeded his speed in
pursuit of his fugitive moonshine.
Oh, you moonshine!
Had the Moon and Sold 1t.
Rock and Rhode both had to draw
their breaths several times before
they could get into the police car, and
with them as they stepped IN was
Sturman's moonshine: the evidence.
Sturman was charged with both pos
session and sale of moonshine and will
be arraiRned in the municipal court
this morning.
In addition to Sam Sturman here are
the rest of them raided and arrested
by the police both for possession and
sale:
Peter HOLMAN, $50 Division street,
Moon; Walak Malazinski, 1917 Prairie
avenue, Moon; Louis Recla, 1881 Sal
EN- avenue, Moop; ~Adolph Glauzewski,
720 Salem avenue, Moon; Josephine
Duba, 1856 North Pleasant street,
Moon; Anna Pavlich, Garfield House,
Moon.
Making the raids over the weekend
were: Lieut. Rock, Detective Breidt,
Officers Melbusch and Rhode. Fifty
places were visited in lieu of Christ
mas greetings by the police in warn
ing that the lid for the holidays would
be con-. Seven were found outrage
ously wet, selling moon to any conner
not recognized as an officer.

Otto Grundtvig, 70, Dies
Thursday Evening at
Garfield Huse.
CHOKES TO. DEATH
Old Man Appeared to Be Plan
ming to Return Home
to Norway.

Choking over bit of steak which
was served to him at a late supper
at seven o'clock Thursday evening at
the Garfield house, Otto Grundtvig,
age 70, fell in fit upon the floor and
died within few minutes. The old
man has no relatives or other conpec-
tions in America so far as is known;
he is believed to be well-to-do, and
has brother, Carl w. Grundtvig, liv-
ing in Christiana, Norway, and sis
ter in Copenhagen, Denmark, judging
from the letters found in his clothes.
Captain Clausen and Police Officer
Lawrence Bauschelt answered the hur-
ried call with the city ambulance, but
although they arrived upon the scene
without any more loss Of time than
it takes for the ambulance to tear
down the intervening blocks, they
were too late. The old man had
breathed his last.
Will Not Have Inquest.
Coroner T. 7. Parker arrived few
minutes later, summoned by the po-
lice, and his informal investigation of
the death was made at once. He was
satisfied that death had come in the
way reported, and that there was no
blame to be attached in the case. No
inquest will therefore be called.
Otto Grundtvig, whose mail was adj
dressed to "care j. w. Roders, Somers,
Wis" has been living at the Garfield
house only two days. He paid for his
meals and lodgings from day to day,
and did not engage his room for a
III h. aupantn1 ~
any moment to leave. No one at the
Garfield house knew anything about
his plans.
Planning To Go Home.
Grundtvig carried only small suit
case containing a few clothes and let
ters which he had received from the
old country. 1t was apparent from a
cursory survey of these letters, writ
ten in Norwegian from the brother in
Christiana, that the old man had
money in Norway and that his brother
from time to time sent him the
interest.
Among the papers was recent
folder :, from the Swedish-American
steamship line, suggesting that the old
man at this holiday time had his
thoughts on his family overseas, and
possibly contemplated a voyage back
home. The coroner and police were
engaged this morning in looking up
Grundtvig's acquaintance in Somers,
and in sending information to his
relatives abroad
Came in Late to Supper.
Mr. Grundtvig, the lonely guest at
the Garfield house, Of whose move
ments all knew so little until they
were stilled in death, sat down to his
lonely supper late Thursday evening.
It was seven o'clock and the dining
room was empty.
When the old man sat down to the
oil-cloth covered table, Mrs. Pawich,

Milwaukee, Wis.-One of the most
spectacular Christmas Seal campaign
stunts ever attempted in the country
was staged in Milwaukee, when
monster double barred cross, covering
almost the entire height of a 16-story
window, flashed out over the darkness
of the Milwaukee river, its silent APP
pea for continued support TO help
drive tuberculosis out of Wisconsin.
The effect of double-barred cross,
which is the international insignia of
the campaign against the White
Plague, was produced by leaving the
entire building in darkness except the
lightweight Office windows, which
formed the cross, and behind these
lights burned brightly. The display

the cook and in charge of the dining
room, asked him if he wouldn't have
a soft boiled egg. He replied that
he wanted soup and meat, and order
ed a steak. Mrs. Pawich brought. it
to him. She said later that she asked
to cut it for him, but he refused. She
said that the reason she offered to
assist him was that he looked feeble,
and she suggested cutting his meat as
she would have done for a child.
She retreated to the kitchen and
next was conscious of hearing the
gurgling sound of person choking.
Running into the dining room she
found the old man had hastily left the
table and started for the bathroom
just off the hall. He reached the hall
but got no further. There he fell
at full length, dying.
