ARMY 'DESERTER
IN A CORN-FIELD
Police Arrest Paul Wal
ter, A. w. O. L. for
Three Months.
DRESSED UP IN KHAKI

If Paul Walter hadn't dressed up
all in Uncle Sans own uniform on
Sunday morning Uncle Sam might not
have caught him. For the last three
months there has been q warrant IN
the police Office on behalf OF the
United States army asking for as
sistance in picking up one Paul Walter
wanted on the charge Of desertion.
Walter, who gave his age when ar
rested by Assistant Chief Cyzak and
Detective Breidt on Sunday as eigh-
teen years, thought when he joined
the army that it was an easy life,
easier than holding down job, and
with more chances of adventure in it.
He learned after he Joined that there
was discipline III the army too, and
by and by he showed his heels. He
was away without official leave so
long, that desertion. charge was
placed against him. -
Sun In a Corn Field.
Walter then. joined the army of
agricultural employees, and put on for
every day use the uniform Of pair
Of overa!ls, the best one-piece sport
suit that has yet been invented. He
worked in corn-fields about eight or
ten miles out of the city in Kenosha
county and got familiar with the
thisving crows and black-birds and
with the changing autumn sky.

But look out for de Massa, Isay!
Deys time to eat and deys time to run
Don't stop to argy with de Massa's gun.
But Walter was all right as long
as he stuck in the cornfield and filed
silos and hid behind the bul-rushes.
After a while he got restless there
too. When he came into, his bedroom
at night he looked with longing upon
his shining army uniform. He wanted
to put it on again and see how it felt.
So he put it on and admired himself
in the mirror. He couldn't resist the
temptation to let others see him that
way too. So he forgot to exercise the
caution necessary to an army deserter
and he strolled forth and came down
to Kenosha.
Here in town his army uniform was
no disguise. The police whose mem
ories are only too good, spotted him
and remembered. One-two- one-two,
Walter did the loek-step toward the
police Office. The training station was
called UP and the young man will be
returned to barracks some time today.

HALTING PLANS
Lama Asks $4,000 Damages
in Suit Filed in Cir

Plaintiff Alleges City's Refusal
to Issue Building Permit
Caused Him to Lose.

An action to determine just how
sharp are the teeth of the interim
zoning ordinance of the city of Ke-
nosha, has been fled in the circuit
court against City Manager c. M. Os-

that the refusal of the city to issue
him building permit to carry out
his plans for the Improvement of
piece of property located on the south
east corner of Sheridan road and Park
street, damaged him to this extent.
The suit is not attacking the zon-
ing ordinance proper which has not
yet been passed by the council, but
is attacking the interim coming ordi-
nance which gave the building inspec-
tor powers to refuse to issue permits
except for the erection Of buildings in
conformance with plans. for future
coming.

plant in the suit, had had plans and
specifications drawn for the erection
of a one story garage on the real
estate owned by him on the southeast
corner of Sheridan road and Park
street, which plans it is maintained
complied with the laws of the state
! of Wisconsin and the ordinances of
the city with reference to the build
| ing of such garage. He maintains
that the city building Inspector re-
fused to issue a building permit for
| such garage and that in refusing
said permit he was acting under the
instructions of the city manager.
The lot in question is = one which
will be affected by the proposed wild
ening of Sheridan road and the city
building inspector refused to sanction
the plans for building because they
did not take the widening project
into consideration.

! The plaintiff based the amount of
his claim for damages on two points:
he alleges that he had entered into
a contract for the erection of the
structure, for q certai.4 price and that
during the time he has been delayed,

to increase the cost of the building
