ARTHUR WILLIS
Is BOUND OVER.
Will Have Trial on Charge
of Assaulting Novack ].
With Jack-knife.
HEARD TODAY

John Novack. $50 Newell street,
testified in the municipal court this
morning that Arthur Willis, colored,
had slashed him with a jack-knife
during a quarrel over q game of cards
at the saloon of Kazinier Kawuiski on
Elizabeth street on Saturday after
noon, April 5th.
As the result of the hearing Willis
was. bound over to the next term. His
bonds were reduced to $3.50, but Judge
Slater informed the defendant that a
speedy trial would be arranged for
him or that if it were necessary to
postpone the trial more than a week
or two the bonds would be reduced.
Willis continued to deny that he had
assaulted Novaek with a knife, al
though willing to admit that an as
sault had takan place.
Several Testify in Case.
August Kruse testified that he was
not present at the quarrel but met
Willis III the street just afterwards,
ind asked him about it. He said Will
lis answered, "1ll give you the same
thing if you don't shut up" and pull
ed a brown jack-knife upon him.
kruse said a knife was found by his
nephew few minutes later in an al
ley block and half away which
corresponded with the appearance of
the knife he had seen in Willis hands.
Kazimer Kawulski testified that he
was present at the argument, did not
hear what it was about, but saw Willis
cut Novack. He said he saw Novack
try to hit the eelored man with his
hand and saw the other pull out q
knife and strike back He said the
two acts seemed to happen at the same
time.
/ Novack was called to the stand, the
last witness for the state. He said
that four or five men were playing
cards in the saloon, William among
them, and he sat down to join in. Aft
ter two or three hands he said he
called Willis crooked and threw down
his own cards, refusing to play. The
game then broke up. Willis demand
ed forty cents from him as they stood
up, and quarrel eAsued during which
Willis drew a knife from his sleeve
and cut him, Novack said.

story, but the testimony was inter-
rupted, as Judge Slater informed the
defense attorney that it would be
necessary to bind the defendant over
anyway, as the assault was undisputed
and there was only the matter as to
credibility of witness for a jury TO
determine whether or not knife had
been used.

August Blank, Who Help
ed Rob American Brass,
Seeks Pardon.
THIRTY YEAR TERM
One of Trio which Blew Safe
and Had Part in Staying
Asks Clemency

August Blank, one of the three CIR
cago yeagmen now serving long sem
fences in the state prison at Waupun
for staging the robbery Of the ofhces
Of the American Brass company IN
Kenssha in 1919 when they escaped
with more than $4,000 in cash ana
Liberty bonds after killing PatfolAen
Tony PinEetore during their getaway,
has filed application for pardon or
any other form Of executive clemsNcy,
according to information received IN
Kenosha this morning. The applieA-
ton has been filed by Attorney =. u.
Wathrow Of Lacrosse, acting for the
prisoner.
Blank was one of trio who pleadedi I
guilty to the robbery; the other two
members Of the bandit gang being Earl
Loveday and Carl o. Carlson Blank
pleaded guilty to burglary and was
sentenced to 80 years imprisonment ~
hard labor. Loveday and Caflsons
pleading guilty both to robbery and to
murder or ACCESSORY to murder as IN
life. Since that time Cnrlson's sen-
tence has been COMMITTED to 20 years.
A Most Daring Robbery.
The robbery of the Offices OF tho
American Brass company, for which
Blank is doing time, was perhaps the
most daring bit Of banditry ever stag
ed in Kenosha. The trio admitted
that they came to Kenosha several
days before the robbery and planned
the entire affair carefully.
They broke into the ofiees, over
powered and bound the Waterman and
then attempted to blow the safe frOnA
the inside. Failing in this they blew
it from without and carried away more
than $4,000 in Liberty bonds and
cash. At the point of a revolver they
forced Gunnard Hansen, taxicab driv-
err, TO follow their bidding and then
commandeered his car. Driving to the
Sheridan road garage they found Pat-
rolman Tony pinEetore in the cfaeea
there.
PinEetore was shot dead when he
started towards one Of the bandits
who had followed Hansen into the gar
age to force him to buy more gasoline
for the car.
Jumping into a car the men escaped
and reached Chicago despite 9 drag
net spread for them. They were trail-
ed by detectives all over the country;
Loveday and Carlson being the hrst to
be captured. Blank was later found
living on a farm in Michigan. Impli-
Gated by the confessions Of his pals he
entered plea of guilty but only to
the burglary charge, disclAiming any
connection with the murder.
Carlson and Blank both claimed that
Loveday fired the shot that killed
Pingetpre and that they did not even
know that murder had been COM
mitted until many hours after they had
reached Chicago and were dividing the
swag.
Word from prison officials is to the
effect that Blank has been a good pris-
Oner and that no opposition to clsm@
ency may be expected on that ground. !,

Body Home in Cutler.

Cutler, Wis., Mildred Nicholson
Eichelman came home on Sunday
night.
Most of Cutters small popula-
ton was at the depot when Station
Agent E. N. McNitt and his asstant-
ants lowered from the train black
.draped coffin that held all that was
left of Mildred, who not so many
years ago left Cutler as the bride
of H. B. Eichelman, prominent Ke-
noshan, who now is held in that
lake city on a charge of having
killed her.
Tears were in the ey Of many
when the coffin was lifted on the
truck of Peter Nicholson, to take
his laughter to his farm me, five
miles from here, where the parlor
had been draped in black, and
where the neighbors had gathered
to take last look at Mildred, to
spend for the last time night UNI
der her fathers home; until Mon
day when the earth in the Camp
Douglas cemetery will form her
burial place.
"They were such happy cou-
ple," one hears from subdued
voices. "Iti is hardly believable
that her husband might have killed
her"
A small silver plate on the coffin
reads Carolina Emilia Eichelman.
1t was under that name. that she
was chistened and married.
But Cutler remembers her just
as plain Mildred, the girl who was
raised and educated here.

only remedy and then the turns
reached nearly to my knees.
"The vest, after being buttoned full
length, hung just below my hips,
while there was plenty of room in
front for good sized pillow.
"The coat tails hung way below my
knees, while the collar came about
even with the upper tips of my ears.
The sleeves were also so long that
they had be turned back almost to
my elbow. A neck cloth, or more mod
ernly termed necktie, was the next
piece of apparel to be put on.
"My fathers boots were the crown
ing events of the evening. After draw
ing them on, found that l could have
to practice a glide, for if l attempted
to walk in a natural manner, they
would fall off. They are not well

day will remember the terrific frost on
that Fourth of July night that kille !

that frost could be seen when we pick

1t is written in the good book that
thou shalt not envy. / am afraid that
broke the commandment that night,
for did envy very much a certain
young man at the dance. He had
curley hair, wore linen duster and
seemed to be the Beau Brummel Of
the evening. He danced once and fire.
quently twice with every lady present.
There he was having the time of his
life while sat in my darkened corner,
picture of misery and just one
degree warmer than an icicle. /
registered vow then and there and
have kept it religiously ever since,
that if / were invited to attend every
dance from the Arctic Circle to Pata-
gonia, l would refuse them with scorn
if I had to wear my fathers clothes.
Never again! Once, but not twice"
Thus ended the old settlers tale and
as postscript to his long discourse,
he added that che had hell of a
time" Slowly he rose from his chair,
and stating that he had better be
going, grasped my hand, turned to the
door and departed.
L stood a moment in meditation,
wondering if I too would be able to
tell the tales of today in about
seventy wears hence
