MAKE SECOND
ATTEMPT TO
BURGLE BANK
81. River Bunglers Turn
to Petty Larceny.

An abortive attempt was made to
rob the Blue River State bank late
Monday night or early Tuesday morn
ing of last week. The robbers, two in
number, battered their way through
two doors in the bank, coming from
the rear. Failing to get into the safe
room by that path, they went to the
front of the bank and climbed over a
transom. The safe doors and combi-
nation were battered in an unsuccess-
full effort to reach the safe contents.
The robbers then visited the Miller
garage and took $175 worth of auto
accessories. They went to Taylor
Bros pool hall and and took four
bottles of pop and box of cigars.
Then they trekked north into Rich
land county.
Under Sheriff Bert Morse was on the
case early Tuesday morning. He
found tracks of two men. The same
day search was made of a Richland
county farm house. An examination
failed to disclose any of the missing
loot.
Mr.. Morse has hopes of locating the
robbers who are evidently local talent
and bungling amateurs at that. The
genuine yegg does not bother with
such petty trash as pop and cigars.
He is after big game and he gets it or
nothing. Further developments are
looked for.

Native of British Hollow
Dies at SanbOrn, Iowa

Mrs. Samuel Pennock returned Fri
day from Sanborn, Iowa, where on
Tuesday she attended the funeral of
her aged uncle, J. D. Long, former
resident of British Hollow Mr.. Long
was born in Pleasant Valley, now
British, 80 years ago, the son of Sam
uel and Elsie Long, early pioneers of
that section. He resided at British up
to 33 years ago, operating tintype
and later, photograph gallery there.
In 1891 he moved to Sanborn and
launched photograph business there.
Following a cyclone in 1914, when his
place was wrecked, he retired from
business. Mr.. Long left widow and
two sons, Ira of Sanborn, and Harvey
of Los Angeles. He was the last of
the older generation of the Long fam
lily. They were strictly pioneers,
coming to Wisconsin from Pennsyl-
vania with the great wave of Yankee
emigration that rolled westward in
the thirties and forties of the last
century. A fine type of people, too.

Spectacular Getaway at
Depot. I'm Jail Now.

Tommy Schatz, aged IS, deserter
from the U. S. army, was lodged in
the county jail Wednesday to await
word from the army authorities after
he had eluded the vigilance of Con-
stable Joe Leinenbach of Glen Haven,
escaped at the Lancaster depot,
taken a 300-yard ride on the trucks
of the train, and spent a day in the
orion warehouse, where the sheriff
found him Wednesday evening.
Leinenbach came to Lancaster on
Wednesday morning with his young
prisoner. While the constable was
telegraphing army headquarters his
charge slipped out and climbed on
the trucks of the outbound train.
Brakeman Clyde Hauser saw the
youth and pulled the stop-cord. The
lad climbed off the train and ran
west. Efforts to locate him were I'M
availing.
Wednesday evening the sheriff act
ing on tip went to the Orion build
ing and induced Tommy to come forth
by saying that "his father wanted
him."
Tommy, in jail, refused to talk much.
He gave his age as Is and the name
of his father as John Schatz of Glen
Haven 1t is assumed that he enlisted
a year ago, giving false age. He
came back to Glen Haven and was
located there by the army authorities.
The boys father was here Thurs
day to arrange some way of getting
the boy out of the scrape. 1t is said
that on account of his youth no pen
n 1tu will bn iYYonOcnd q c tho army does
not knowingly take anyone under Fl
years of age.
The lad has so far refused to talk
about his case. He seems to be in
deadly fear of TT. Leavenworth, the
army prison. His intelligence is APP
parently much below the average and
his physical conditions none too good,
to judge from appearances.

TAKE NEW SCHOOL BID
TO ROB
P.D.C. POST OFFICE;
LOOT DOC INSTEAD

Prairie du Chen, Wis, May s.
A prospective patient who entered
the dental office of DR.. Armstrong
here late Friday afternoon found the
doctor absent on business in Madi-
son. The patients visit, however,
was not in vain, as he found some
thing of public importance-tha the
doctors office had been broken into
and an attempt had been made to
rob the Prairie du Chen postoffice.
DR.. Armstrong; office is directly
above the postoffce. There is a
small room, entirely shut off, ad-
joining the dental office and directly
over the postoffce vault. Burglars
tools were scattered about on the
floor of this room and chunks of
concrete had been dug out of the
floor The burglars apparently hoped
TO chisel and smash their way through
into the postoffice vault, but they
either found the task too great or
else were frightened away before
they could accomplish their purpose.
Bakers employed on the night shift
of a bakery next door to the post
office said they heard peculiar noises
as though some one was hammering
away at something at about l o'clock
Friday morning.
The job is believed by Postmaster
Munson and the local authorities to
have been the work of amateurs. The
tools left behind, it has been learned,
were stolen from local blacksmith
shop. So far no arrests have been
made.

and the hogs had uncovered it. 1t had
been buried presumably when the
ground was frozen as it was buried
rather shallow He notified the district

has been made, so the identity of the
child is unknown This certainly
should be looked after and the guilty
party punished, as this is certainly a

Judge Lands on
Prohibition As Is.

Judge Lands in his testimony last
week drew a sharp distinction be-
tween the man who tratflcks IN liquor
to make money and one who takes an
occasional nip to satisfy his palate or
for hospitality's sake. One thing is
deliberate crime The other no more
than a weakness at worst.
The judge was a terror to law Vlo-
lators but he turned man after man
loose after he was certain that II
was nothing more than little case
of home brew, etc.
Lands makes the proper distinction.
The law, majestic and just when II
closes an iron hand on the tratf1cAeT
in liquor becomes foolish tyrant
when it invades the hearthstone and
confiscates batch of homemade
lager or dandelion wine.
When we get this distinction more
firmly imbedded in our minds we Will
be further on the road to control OF
the liquor evil.
