A Scholars Reader

A scholar writing for the scholarly,

a thing l abhor;" a thing, in fact,
naturally distressing to the scholar,
who will therefore ever be shy Of offer
ing uncOmplimentary assistance to the
readers wit. Self-restraint. a
skillful economy of means, ascesis, that
too has a beauty of its own; and for
the reader supposed, there will be an
aesthetic satisfaction in that frugal

The sudden death Of Mr. George A.

shock to both his relatives and num-
erOus friends. Deceased had COM

day, and on Saturday morning arose
and was contemplating a trip to Mid

to do so. He retired to his bedroom

years was a prominent farmer in the

Detective of Fiction
Seldom Seen in Life

A popular impression prevails that a
detective is a tall. spare man. with
eyes which. If they do not bore into
the very soul of a criminal, always
have a dreamy, far-away look
1t may be a shame to shatter this
Illusion, but the fact IS that a detec-
tive is the most ordinary looking of
mOrtals.
He is of no particular type; you
meet his counterpart a dozen times in
a short walk in any city. Generally
the more successful he is the more
commonplace he loOks-that is one Of
the secrets Of his success. No one
takes him for what he is.
The writer has known all kinds of
detectives fac and thin, Jolly and
mOrose, bearded and clean-shaven, sal
low and rubicund, greybeards and
strlplings, men of education and court
ly manner and men with little or no
learning-but very wise in knowledge
Of the ways of men.
That reminds the writer of another
fallacy which has been fOisted on
the public. The detective hero of the
st0ry-teller is always a man with mar
velOus powers of intuition and deduc-
ton who. with little or no effort, can
point the finger at the guilty party.
In fiction, when the creator Of all
the puppets of the story knows who
commits the crime and how it Is done
before even the first word Is writ
ten, this Is quite possible. but in fact
1t is very different proposition.
When the services Of a genuine de-
tective are required II is because
things have to be found out. Ask the
detective how he does it. and he will
say: by sound cOmmon-sense, pains
taking inquiry, and deductions there
from based on experience of humanity
in general and criminals in particular,
with the aid of the organization of
the police forces Of the country and q
fair share Of luck"
1t is only solid, hard work that will
get a prisoner into the dock, and then
only incOntrOverslble facts offered in
irrefutable evidence will secure his
conviction.
The judge and jury do not want tC
know what the detective thinks, but
what he knows and can prove to the
utmost Of the rigorous requirements
Of the law.

Chicago Family Narrowly
Escape Death in Geneva
Road Crash.
LIGHTS BLIND DRIVER
Joseph Wallace, Wife and Son,
in Kenosha Hospital; the
Machine Demolished.

A family of three narrowly escaped
death last night, when the automobile
in which they were riding struck. the
western end of the 0'Plain river
bridge, 10 miles west of Kenosha on
the Geneva road. They we're rushed
to Kenosha hospital by passing motor
lists. The family were returning to
their home in Chicago.
Joseph Wallace the husband and
father, who was at the wheel at the
time of the crash, is suffering from
a fracture of the left arm, numerous
bruises and cuts. His wife was badly
bruised about the body and is suffer
ing from nervous shock. Fred Wal
lace, an eleven year old son is severe
rly bruised about the left shoulder
and body.
According to statements made TO
the authorities by Wallace, he was
blinded by the glare Of the lights Of
an approaching automobile just as he
reached the end Of the bridge. The
bridge an iron structure, is about
two feet narrower than the concrete.
Car Does End Flip.
For an instant, Wallace said, he con-
tinued to drive, watching the edge Of
the concrete as best he could in the
face Of the glare He said the next
second there was a terrific crash and
he felt himself being hurled through
the air. He said he was not familiar
with the road and under questioning
declared that he did not Zee the white
and black stripping on the iron super
structure.
Deputy Sheriff Chef. Bostetter was
at paddock's Lake park when q motor
list notified him of the crash. He i'm;
mediately started for the scene, and
on the way picked up Deputy Sheriff
Stanley Rauen who was also riding the
Geneva road. The Injured people had
been taken to the hospital just before
they arrived. They directed the clear
ing Of the bridge.
Bostetter stated that it was mir
acle how any of the three people es-
capped alive. The machine, light tour
ing one, did a complete end-for-end
flop landing on the bridge. In turn
ing over it threw the occupants in such

the wreckage but remained on the
bridge. The car was wrecked beyond
repair. ~
Returning from Lakes.
The Wallaces, it was stated were
returning from spending the holiday
at the lakes. Witnesses stated that
the car was travelling about 80 miles
an hour when it hit the bridge. Wal
lace had slowed down slightly when
the lights Of the other car blinded
him.
Officials stated that while this
bridge is slightly narrower than the
concrete, il is not considered q par
ticularly dangerous spot, due to the
fact that it can be seen for some dis
lance on both sides. With careful
driving it is possible for two machines
to pass on the structure.

FRIENDSPL
POWELL IN RACE
Attorney Lewis w. Powell
is Entered in Race for
District Attorney.
PARKER FOR CORONER
Truman r. Parker Will Seek
Place on Republican
County Ticket.

Assistant District Attorney Lewis
w. Powell had surprise in store for
him when he entered the Office of
County Clerk Charles Holderness late
Wednesday afternoon.
He learned that friends of his with
out his knowledge had taken out
papers TO put his name in nomination
for a place on the Republican county
ticket for the office of district at
torney OF Kenosha county. These
papers were taken out several days
ago and have been in circulation.
Attorney Powell at the last primary
election was a candidate for the nom
ination and ran q close race for the
place on the ticket He has consid-
cred seeking the nomination again
and, It Is said, will not oppose the
efforts of his friends to put his name
on the ballot The taking out of the
papers was entirely unsolicited on
his part.
Parker for Coroner.
1t was also learned today that Tru-
man 7, Parker, who for several terms
has been coroner Of Kenosha county,
would again seek the Republican
nomination for that Office on the G.
O. P. ticket. While his papers have
not yet been formally taken out, it
was stated that they would be in cir
cuiation within few days.
In the years that Coroner Parker
has been in the Office he has shown
much ability in handling the duties of
a coroner. 1t is not anticipated that
there will be another candidate for
the nomination.
No Other Developments.
There were no other developments
in county politics this week. Re-
ports are current that the Democrats
will fill up their ticket and place
names in the lists for each Office, but
as yet these have not entirely ma
tefialized.
The time for the filing of papers
does not close for several weeks yet
and it is possible that several other
candidates may get into the field with
in that time.
