ON THREE COUNTS
Ad0rno Pascucci, 1864 Jen.
ne ST., Arrested After
Raid Last Night.
FIND GARDEN PLANT

A warrant charging violation of the
LIQUOR laws on three counts was issued
against Adorno Pssucci of 1864 JENNIE
street today by the district attorneys
Office. The variant charges three
counts, possession of still, posses
sion of mash and the sale of the fin
ished product.
In a raid conducted on his place
last night officials discovered that
Adorno had planted peculiar seed in
his Garden, ,to-wit: IS gallons of moon
shine 1t was being allowed to age,
for Adorno prided himself on being
numbered among the most artistic of
the Kenosha distillers. The raid was
conducted by Sgt. Max Cramer and
officers Charles Amberlang, Waite
Chase and Lawrence Bauscheldt.
Kuehnl Buys a Drink.
The raid came after series of COM
plants had been made to the police
department and the district attorneys
office. John Kuehnl, assistant district
attorney, went out to the address and
purchased a drink. The officers watch
ed the operation; and then charged in
upon the plant.

the door opened and in walked Lieut..
Rock and John Breidt of the police
detective squad, and they rescued
Orth's glass just in the nick of time.
POIonia Hall Falls Too.
Polonia or Liberty hall pool-room
was another to take the bait. Ortiz
purchased a quart of wine of the pro-
prietor of the Liberty hall pool-room
at the corner of Milwaukee avenue
and Main street.
Frank Grynevitch, the proprietor of
the pool-room, was brought into the
municipal court Monday and charged
with possession and sale of wine. He
pleaded not guilty and his case was
set for hearing August 81 at 300 a
M, bonds fixed at $500.
Threatened with injunction proceed
ings, some of the more notorious
places have been toeing the line fo1
the last few days, and it was notice
able that over the weekend there were
only a few arrests for drunkenness.
After a few places had been raided
with the help of the new officer, saloon
men got alarmed, and by the swift
communication that runs between all
the liquor men of the city, it was
noised about that the sponge squad
had a new "fy'' and were trying new
tactics.

Find No Clews
in Hermit Murder
CBy United Press)

Sank City, Wis. - An impenetrable
wall meets the most determined efforts
of Investigators, local authorities and
private detectives to find the murderer
of Robert Yaeger, beaten to, death just
outside hut on his farm near here.
All clues have vanished into nothing
ness The murder seems doomed to go
down on the records unsolved as did
the triple Balzer murder which oc-
Cured year ago. Death came to
Yaeger as it did to the three Balzers,
after a prolonged and bloody struggle.
Since the murder on August 8, the en-
tire county has been aroused to fever
pitch. Swarms of irate and anxious
farmers have combed every inch of the
countryside. All their efforts have
been in vain. They fear that unless
the murderer is apprehended his axe
will fall on some other defenseless in
habitant. The search is not yet aban-
doned but it is considered fruitless.

correction with strap supplied him
in court. The sons took the medi-

CONSOLATION.

After all, low price for wheat does
not pinch the farmer as much as
crop failure. Two bushels of wheat at
81 a bushel are practically equivalent
to one bushel at So. What the farmer
wants is a bumper crop and record
price. That's human nature, the rest
of us have the same hankering. Cheer
up, farmers, wheat prices eventually
regulate all other prices, according to
some of the most able economists. If
the law of many centuries works out
as in the past, the city man can get a
picture of what he is headed for later
by contemplating the farmers pre-
dicament in 1923.
