Hotel Thieves
Get Away Friday
Sneak Through Roof of Fischer Hotel
and Police Scamper After Them
Across Roof Tops.

Two young men gained admittance
to the Fischer hotel Friday afternoon
and commenced to ransack the rooms.
Things went well with them until one
of the pair reached his hand into a
room that he thought vacant and
tried to get suit of clothes that
hung over a chair.
But the owner was in bed, and
awakened from sleep he cried out, the
startled thief dropped the suit and
began to run. His companion who had
a bundle of clothes under his arm,
dropped that and the two started
to climb post haste towards the top
floor.
The police were notified, and Secre-
tary Meissner and officers Wellman
and Larsen responded. The three po-
licemen searched through the hotel,
but could find no one. Officer Larsen
climbed up through the roof and ne
gotiated the roof tops about but the
pair had vanished. They secured
nothing, dropping all that they had
stolen in their fight.

MAKER OF MOON
is SENT TO JAIL
Gugo Walter Unable to Pay
$500 and Costs Becomes
Sheriff's Guest.
STILL WAS COOKING
Sheriff Pabst and Deputies
Get a Still on Farm in Town
of SOmers on Thursday.

Gugo Walter came into the municipal
court this morning looking like
veritable "Schafskof." Accompanied by
Sheriff Fred Pabst he was arraigned
on the charge of unlawful possession
Of still, moonshine and mash. Gugo,
looking "goo-goo" eyes, and his head
as closely shaved as if he had had a
prison cut, pleaded guilty.
His place in the town of Somers on
the old CAM farm, was raided Thurs
day afternoon by the sheriff who was
accompanied by Deputies Nick Otto,
Steve Robinson, Stanley Rauen and
Clarence "Nick" Erickson.
Second Visit to theePlace.
The sheriff and his men visited the
farm about a week ago at midnight.
At the time they saw some mash there
and there was no one about, so the
sheriff decided to lay low, watch the
place, and spring a raid when the
cook was on the job.
The cook was there Friday after
noon, and the brew was cooking too
when the sheriff and his men arrived.
The still was going strong in the
kitchen, sending out powerful fumes,
and besides the still the men got
twenty gallons of moonshine and five
barrels of mash.
Gugo Walter, the only person on
the premises, and who was welding
the lade of the devils BROTH" was
placed under arrest.
Used Farm for Making Moon.
There was no evidence of domesti-
city on the place, and the old house
appeared to have been rented just for
the purpose of privately making moon.
This morning when Gugo Walter APP
peared in court, he was unable to
answer all of the questions put to him
by Judge Slater. For one thing, he
was a foreigner, an alien, and could
speak little English, for another, he
was a simpleton, as his sleeps head
testified.
didn't you know that this making
Of moonshine was violation OF the
law" the judge asked him.
Gueo answered with more cunning
than simplicity that he didn't know,
because you can go into any saloon
and get it."
He was ordered to pay a fine OF
$500 and costs with the alternative Of
four months in the county Jail. The
man. was unable to pay the fine and
went to jail. !.

MEETING WILL
UNDERGRADUATE
Republican County Com.
mittee to Name Candi-
date for Coroner.


The first step toward the naming of
q candidate for coroner on the Repub-
lican ticket to fill the place made va
cant by the sudden and tragic death of
Coroner Truman T. Parker, nominated
for reelection on the Republican tick
ct at the last primary, was taken late
Friday afternoon when a special meet
ing Of the Republican county commit
tee was called for next Saturday af-
ternoon at two o'clock at the Republi-
can headquarters at 225 Main street
for the express purpose of naming
such candidate.
The letter calling the special meet
ing paid high tribute to the late Coro-
ner Truman T. Parker, deploring the
tragedy which had forced the calling
of the special meeting. Before acting
in the selection Of a candidate, the
committee will no doubt adopt resolu-
tions of regret at the death Of Coroner
Parker.
Many Candidates in Field.
It was stated this morning that
many names had been entered inform
ally for the nomination for coroner
on the Republican ticket 1t was said
that the committee would no doubt
have not less than IL names presented
to it, from which candidate would be
named. No names have been, formally
announced as candidates for the nom
inatioR.
The law stipulates that in the event
of the death of man regularly nom
mated for an office in the primary
election before the time of the cleo
ton, the party county committee OF
which the deceased was a candidate
has the authority to name the candi-
date for that party for that office
There had been some question raised
as to whether any candidate for the
Republican nomination could be made
or whether the Republican committee
could only endorse a candidate who
would run on an independent ticket.
careful reading of the law appears to
indicate that the committee may name
candidate whose name will appear in
the Republican column as the candidate
of that party for the office of coro-
ner.
May Appoint Successor.
No action has yet been taken to-
wards the appointment of successor
for Coroner Parker to fill out the I'M
expired term until the first of Janu-
airy. Such an appointment must be
made by the governor, it is said.
In the meanwhile Judge John C. Stat
er has taken over the duties of the Of
fee as they refer to the carrying on
Of inquests; other duties of the office
are being carried on by the district
attorney and the sheriff's office in the
county and by the police in the city Of
KeRosha.

District Attorney Morris
Barnett Outlines Steps
State May Take.
DECLARED NUISANCES
If Convictions Are Secured 1t
Is Possible to Go into Court
Asking Places Be Closed.

Efforts will be made to place pad
locks on the soft drink .parlors where
1t is alleged that liquor was sold to
the young men who with Edward
Thomas, driver, were occupants Of the
automobile that struck and fatally
injured Coroner Truman T. Parker and
his daughter, Jean Parker, In the
events that the owners OF the places
are convicted of the charge Of selling
liquor to the men.
This was the statement made this
morning by District Attorney Morris
Barnett as he outlined the action
which was being planned against the
illicit LIQUOR traffic in Kenosha county
as a result Of the double tragedy
which has aroused the entire COM
munity to action.
Now In City's Hands.
"The cases against these four SOFT
drink parlor operators are not now In
the hands of the district attorney
explained Attorney Barnett. "The war
rants served against them charged
them with a violation Of the city ordl-
nance and under that their prosecution
on those charges lies entirely in the
hands of the city attorneys office. The
district attorneys Office will watch the
outcome of the cases; in the event
that there are convictions secured, 1t
will then be our turn to act"
He explained that prosecution on a
violation of the city ordinance did not
prevent the state from following up
the case and that his plans were to
follow these cases to the full extent
of the law.
May Be Declared Nuisances.
He outlined that in the event con-
victions were secured It was possible,
specially in the case Of the two, who
have been previously convicted, to
seek to have the places closed by hav-
ing them declared public nuisances.
This must be done by going before
a Jury in the circuit court under the
federal law, and in the event the
places are found by the jury to be
public nuisances the court may order
them to be closed for whatever period
of time may seem advisable.
It is recalled that following the
grand jury cleanup in Kenosha coun-
ty, Judge Belden did issue such orders
in several instances preventing the use
Of such places for such business as
would prevent the repetition of the
offenses charged.
The declaring Of place as public
nuisance and the consequence pad
locking of it for period of time,
might, it was said, become the gener-
al practice in the case of persistent
violations of the law in Kenosha coun-
ty.
It has been question Of conjecture
throughout the city as to what steps
could be taken to curb the illicit
liquor traffic revealed by the tragedy
which occurred early this week and
announcement of the plans to ask for
closing of the places by court injunc-
ton was hailed here today as step
which might go far towards clearing
the situation.
