The young man is under bonds of
81 goo at present because of his charge
with the theft Of Edward Dayton's
Chandler car taken by him in front
! of the OrpheUm building one night
this last fall. He was subsequently
arrested by Officer AmberIang on sus-
picion of theft and found in possess

terded to another youth whom he
had picked up at the time that the
car belonged to "his father"
Young Koscek again worked the
"father" gag in connection with this
last eruption into automobile thiev-
cry. as the police learned in question
ing a young man who was with him
OIL rides with the Vorhis' car. The
circumstances surrounding the case
suggest that the youth is mentally
irresponsible.
Tip from Mail Carrier.
Charles Voorhis' Nash sedan was
stolen Christmas night and report
/ OF the theft duly entered upon the
police blotter, and all members of the
department were notified to be on the
lookout for the car. At tie same time
neighboring cities were notified.
On Thursday afternoon the police
department received a message from
Rural Mail Carrier Mogenson, that a
Nash car was stalled in the ditch
on the Milwaukee road, three miles
south of the Racine county line.
Mogenson said the car carried an
Illinois license.
Sergeant Kramer on duty at the
desk in the police department re-
ceived the message and directed De-
tective Breidt and officer McGivern to
bring in the car.
When the police car drove up to
the spot on the Milwaukee road the
two officers observed a youth making
his way through a farm-yard and
across the field. Although they did
net recognized the features of Koscek,
we'll known to the police because of
his connection with the Dayton car
theft, it was, as they presently learn
ed, none other than himself, and at
that moment in fight because, as was
evident, he had seen the police driv-
ing up.
There was another car standing
beside the stalled Nash and the police
took in custody the two young men,
Leland and Homer Cayo, 756 Newell
street, who were found endeavoring
to tow the Nash out of the mud. The
police soon learned that these two had
nothing to do with the theft of the
to the police station and held as
witnesses.
Koscek, as the police learned, had
taken the Nash on Christmas night,
picked up two Kenosha girls and gone
to Milwaukee for an evening of fun.
He came back to Kenosha at three
o'clock Wednesday morning.
On Wednesday night he picked up
Leland Cayo and the two of them went
with two girls out for a country ride.
They became stalled on the Milwaukee
reed, where the car was mired The
four walked to farm house and Sc
cured ride to the city, Koscek pay
ling the farmer by handing over the
automobile robe in the sedan belong
ing to the Voorhis family
Said His Fathers Car.
Leland Cayo together with his
brother, Homer, drove in Homer Cayo's
car on Thursday to the spot, expect
ing to tow the car out Accompany
ing them was Frank Koscek. Koscek
fed when he saw the police car but
the others stood their ground.
Leland Cayo told the police that
Koscek had represented himself as the
son of a we'll known physician. Kos
eek had told him, Leland said, that his
father had two cars and allowed him
the use of one of them.
Then Steals Essex Coach.
The straw that broke the camePs
back happened after Koscek had es-
capped from the police on the Milwau-
kee road. On Thursday evening
Kcscek came back to the city and
stole the Essex coach of Lockwood.
Koscek was seen passing through the
street in the car, but before the of
ficer could get another car to follow,
the Essex and driver had passed out
of sight.
"And when we first arrested Koscek"

good people connected with reform
movements in Kenosha, were indig-
