RESIST ARREST
AND KIDNA APP 4
STATE OFFICER
Odd Circumstance Places
Officer Under Power of
Alleged Fugitives.

There would have been no trouble
no story-if Clay Orcutt had stayed at
home on the Iowa side of the Mis-
sissippi He knew a warrant was is
sued for his apprehension more than
three years ago, on the charge of fish
ing without license on the WiScOn-
sin side of the river, and he had no
license. Evidently he thought the Of
ficers of the law had forgotten-or
slept.
So Circuit came back, landing near
Mccartney, and there was Ed Roschi,
game warden, waiting for him. And
with Roschi were Deputy Sheriffs
Arch Kicks and Will Kerr They
placed the offender under arrest, but
just then two friends of Orcutt came
upon the scene with a power boat.
They also had two double barrel shot
guns. Roschi went after them and it
is said took the gun from one of the
aSSailantS, but it was knocked out of
his hands. In the melee, Roschi got
into the boat, was knocked down and
his pockets rif1ed of his pistol. Then
the boat was pushed off, and the pow
er turned on-away it went with Ed
Roschi, game warden, either as guest
of honor or kidnapped, across the riv-
er On the Iowa side the kidnappers
turned him loose, and the deputies
went over and made his rescue.
In the meantime, Clay Circuit, the
casus belli, stayed with the deputies
on this side of the river, and was
brought before Justice Burrows on
the charge of illegal fishing, pleaded
guilty and was fined $50 and costs
SIS, which he paid.
1t was a thrilling adventure all
around. Deputy Sheriff Arch Kicks
says the holes in those shot guns were
at least four inches in diameter. The
roughnecks from Iowa kept the dep
uties covered while they made away
with Roschi. To draw a gun on a
sheriff is a serious offense, one that
is clearly extraditable, so the pros
pect for another story is good.

NATIVE SON OF
GRANT RETURNS
HOME TO VISIT
Mr.. and Mrs. w. I'll. Clark
Motor All the Way
From California.

Mr.. and Mrs. Will H. Clark motored
into Lancaster one day last week. In
fact they motOred all the way from
the western coast. Their home is in
Berkeley, Calf, but their hearts are
in Gods country-Wisconsin.
Mr.. Clark is a native of Grant
county, having grown to young man
hood in this city. And it seems he
comes home oftener since moving to
California some three or four years
ago.
Mr.. Clark went to Oklahoma from
Lancaster some SO years ago where
he gained considerable prestige in To-
cal political affairs in Oklahoma City,
at that time noted as the fastest grow
ing city in the southwest.
He lived in that city up until about
four years ago when the family moved
to California.
Mr.. Clark's political career in the
southern city is familiar to the writer,
who was employed on the Daily Okla
homan in Oklahoma City, at the time
Mr.. Clark was president of the city
park commission.
The splendid system of parks in
Oklahoma City is a direct result of
SoJ
rected against obstacles and opposi-
ton to his plans during his tenure as
head of the park commission.
Selfish private interests heckled ev-
cry move in the development of Mr.
Clark's campaign to give the city the
beautiful show places of which it now
boasts. His persistency prevailed be-
cause he was fair and conscientious
in the discharge of his duty to the peo-
pie as a public official.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark will remain in
the city some two or three weeks.
Mr. Clark has business interests here
which he will look after in the mean
time
The camping equipment of the
Clarks is compact of the essentials
of out door living concentrated into
the smallest space possible, with due
regard to accessibility and conven-
fence.
The car is turned into a highway
Pullman at night and canvas "lean-
to" anchored to the car affords sleep
ing quarters for the four of them.
The Clarks have company in the
persons of Mr.. and Mrs. C. M. Thusen,
who joined them at Atlantic. Ia. Mrs.
Thuson and Mrs. Clark are cousins.
They have their car parked under
big elm tree in the center of town
and will make this city their head
quarters while here.

and seating capacity of 1000, the
! exhibition room, meZZanine, and halls
on the first floor, which is the largest
space devoted exclusively to conven-
ton purposes in the United States.
A portable stage with full equipment
for the entertainment part of the pro-
gram was available at this time
Mr.. Orion is enthusiastic about the
educational value of these sessions
and makes it a point to attend every
time the convention meets in Chi

WORKMAN'S LIFE
CRU SH ED OUT
BY ROCK SLIDE
Ed Frawley Fatally In
jured at Quarry on Bass
Farm Last Wednesday

A distressing accident occurred al
the road rock quarry on the Bass farm
on the Beetown road west of this
city last Wednesday which cost the
life of Ed Frawley, one of the work
men employed at the quarry.
He died within an hour after being
brought to the Godfrey hospital in
this city, from injuries sustained in
slide of rock at the quarry.
A large boulder weighing perhaps
several hundred pounds, precipitated
by the slide, caught Mr.. Frawley
when he stumbled and fell in flight
following the slight warning which
preceded the slide.
The services of several fellow work
men were required to remove the
rock which had cruelty crushed the
lower part of his body. Mr., FraWley
was hurriedly brought to this city,
but nothing could be done and his
death followed soon afterward
Funeral services were held Satur-
day morning at ST. Clements church
in this city, and burial followed at
the Catholic cemetery west of town
Mr.. Frawley was married and is
survived by the widow and two chill
dren, Paul and Elizabeth. Two broth
ers and one sister, James and Will
and Fannie, are residents of Lancas-
ter. Another sister, Mrs. Ed Lind, lives
at Sitter.
Out of town relatives who attend
ed the funeral of Mr.. Frawley were
Mrs. Walter Meade of Chicago, Mrs
Roy Meade of Dubuque, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Patterson and daughter Mar
garet of Bloomington

Lancaster will dedicate her new
high school building Friday evening
September 4.
At this time it will not be the pur-
pose of the Herald to describe the
magnificent building and its commod-
ious appointments. That will come
later.
1t is indeed a monument that re-
fleets the far-sighted enterprise of the
citizens of this community. 1t repre-
sents something. Not many towns
much larger can boast of school facil-
tiles which the city places at the dis
posal of the faculty, for the benefit of
all, as the completion of this build
ing affords this community.
Next Friday it will be opened to the
public for the first time. Visitors will
be ushered through the building be-
ginning at 2:30 p. M, and continuing
throughout the afternoon and even
ing. Members of the faculty and stu
dents have been assigned to this duty.
All will be made welcome.
The dedicatory program and cere-
monies formally opening the building
will begin at 500 o'clock, with E. j..
Morse. president of the board of edu-
cation, presiding.
Musical numbers, both instrumental
and vocal, will prelude and inter
sperse the addresses of prominent ed
ucators of the Badger state.
Following the invocation by Rev.
John Birrell of the Methodist church
of this city, and vocal solo by Mrs.
S. S. McNelly, the dedicatory address
will be delivered by NJ. H. Jackson,
state department of public instruction.
"The School Program" is the sub
ject S. S. McNelly, superintendent Of
the city schools, will discuss in his
address.
E. G. Doudna, secretary of the State
Teachers Association, has promised to
be present at this time and deliver an
address.
The Lancaster band will contribute
to the program with one or two selec-
lions. Giacomo Fachinato, conductor,
will render a cornet solo as one of
the solo numbers of the program.
No doubt the assembly room, where
the exercises will take place, will be
well filled at an early hour.
1t is desired that all visitors who
care to go through the building shall
come before school sessions begin. AT
ter that time the faculty and students
will, of course, be unable to extend
the courtesy of personal attention.

Many Farmers Attend
Sunday Band Concert

Possibly 1900 people enjoyed the
concert by the Lancaster band at Ry
land park last Sunday afternoon.
They came from all the surround
ing towns in which the program had
been advertised Many farmers were
present Cars were parked solidly all
around the park square and back into
the side streets for a block on either
side of the street.
The innovation of Sunday concert
by the band proved attractive to the
surrounding country as well as to the
people of Lancaster, and the atten-
dance was gratifying to the band man
agement 1t is not unlikely that the
band will favor with another concert
or two before the season closes.
