Sailor, Thought
Dead, Returns Home

Hamburg--After an absence of IL
years from home, Herman Look of
Vollen in Eastern Frisia, who was a
member of the crew of the famous
German sea raider Emden, has reach
ed home. His return caused no little
surprise in his native village, for
everybody, including his family, had
believed him to be dead.
When the Emden was shelled and
sunk, Loos was taken captive by the
British, who brought him to the in
ternment camp at Singapore. Look
and several companions made their
escape. After a difficult journey
through the, jungle and through
swampy regions they finally reached
the ocean. They espied a row boat
and started out, reaching the. island
of Sumatra after IL hours. Here Look
was again interned, and kept prisoner
until the end of the war.
Not until recently could he accumu-
late enough money to take him back.

AND is DROWNED
Peter Pagaus Drowned in
KenOsha HarbOr Sun
day Afternoon.
BROTHER ON BANK

Innocent frolicking along the edge
of the dock in the Kenosha harbor
just north of the Main street bridge,
cost the life of Peter Pagaus, nine
years-old, 358 Broad street, Sunday
afternoon shortly after two o'clock.
The boy and his brother, Frank, age 5,
were out to enjoy the afternoon and
had wandered down to the harbor's
edge opposite the Kenosha Coast
Guard station Another youth, who
disappeared after the accident and
whose name was not learned, was
along, and all three were enjoying
them selves throwing stones. into the
water.
A large cage stood dashed to the
dock, used by fishermen to keep live
minnows. Peter spotted the cage and
suggested jumping onto it, but was
warned not to by his younger brother
and by his older companion. THAT'S
nothin'," retorted Peter as he jumped,
and moment later he had disappear
ed under the surface.
Frank fingered awhile expecting his
brother to come back to the surface
again. According to the youngster, he

there was no sign of Peter, he and his
companion became alarmed. Frank
went over to a store nearby crying
that "My brother went down into the
water and didn't come back"
The police Office was notified and
Sgt. Schneeberger in turn notified the
/ Coast Guard station. The crew OF the
station at this moment happehed to be
out on distress call three miles up
the north shore, and Coast Guards
Frank Ecker, gub-surf man, and
Walter Jorndt or the station lookout
were called. They crossed the harbcr
in the station skifs and after being
directed by the victims brother, the
two seamen succeeded in recovering
the body with graphing hooks after a
search of less than three minutes.
When the body was brought to the
surface it was already cold and stiff,
and it had probably been under water
for half hour. The two coast guards
tried artificial respiration methods for
full half hour when the rest of the
station crew arrived, and with the adj
ditional assistance of Skipper Pratton
and the rest of the crew, another half

Peter Pagaus had probably died
without a struggle and without having
come to the surface after his first fall
off the box upon which he had tried
to jump.
The remains of the boy were taken
to the Crossin Mortuary where they
were prepared for burial.
Peter Pagaus was student at st.
Peters Lithuanian school. He is sur
vived by his step-father, his mother
and three brothers.
Funeral services for the deceased
were held this morning from the St.
Peters Catholic Lithuanian church
with interment following in St. George
cemetery.

browns by Falling
Into Street Hole

Moscow-American asphalt and paw
ing concerns would make a fortune in
Moscow if they could induce the Sow
let government to give them the job
of repairing the thousands of streets
in the Red capital that are rutted and
broken. Most of the streets are paved
with cobblestones that make walking
a positive discomfort. Only one or
two of the principal streets are laid
with asphalt.
Pedestrians experience not only dis
comfort and inconvenience through
having to use the broken roadways.
but often positive injuries as we'll.
Not long ago a Russian woman fell
into an open excavation in one of the
principal streets and was drowned in
the water that had collected.
During his recent visit here Isaac
F. Marcosson, the American writer, fell
into an opening in the sidewalk and
suffered painful injuries about the
face, arms and legs. He was return

SAMARITAN ROLE
FAILS TODD GOOD
Ray Halvorsen Had Liquor
Left in Car by Man
He Picked Up.
FREED FROM CHARGE

Ray C. Halvorsen, who lives at Nor
gan and Fremont avenues, played the
good samaratin on Monday, but it was
case of kindness anrewarded. Not
only was it unrewarded, but also un-
deserved. Halvorsen was returning
from Silverlake after having spent the
holiday celebrating there when he was
hailed by man on the road. Halvor-
sen picked up the man and brought
him into town. The man, who was
Gilbert Harkerod, of 207 Brockett
street, thanked him very kindly and
went on his way.
A short time later Officer Robert
Mitchell, of the motorcycle squad,
picked up Halvorsen on charge of
speeding. At the time of his arrest,
Mitchell found small bottle of Ii
quor in the automobile and another
toxicating liquor was placed against
Halvorsen.
Disclaims Liquor.
Halvorsen insisted that he knew
nothing about the liquor found in his
car nor how it got into it, pleading
not guilty to the second charge. He
pleaded guilty to the charge of speed
ing and was fined S25 and costs by
Judge Slater in municipal court Tues
day morning. His case was set for
trial on September 10 at nine o'clock
in the morning, with bonds set at
$500.
In the meantime Harkerod read the
notice in the paper of Halvorsen's get
ting arrested and his resulting pre-
dicament, and with remarkable spirit
of willingness to right wrong for
which he had been responsible, hasten
ed to the sheriff's Office and told Sher-
if Pabst that it was he who had left
the liquor in Halvorsen's car and that
the latter was entirely free from
blame for its having been found in
his car.
He Plays Samaritan, Too.
"That's horse from a different
garage" was the comment from the
sheriff's office, and the charge of I'M
lawful possession of liquor was taken
off of Halvorsen and placed on Har-
kerod. With the notification of the
charge Halvorsen was released with a
clean slate.
This morning, after hearing the cir
cumstances surrounding the case,
Judge Slater fined Harkerod $500 and
costs with a short lecture on good
samaratinism and what it involves
and what it excludes.
