Brewery Safe Robbed

night and by means Of a croWbar,
chisels, sledge hammer and other con-
trivances forced open the vault in the
office and getting about $50, overlook
ing a much larger sum, probably in a
hurry to make quick getaway. They
took Joe DOser's automobile and
ditched it down near the depot They
then, it is presumed, returned to the
brewery and took Arthur Cardey's
Ford sedan with which they made
their escape. When the burglary was
discovered the following morning the
sheriff and other officers were notified
and trail for the offenders was i'm
mediately begun. Up to Saturday no
trace had been reported, though it
was said that the burglars were ap-
pretended and the sedan located at
place in Iowa, and others saying they
were captured in the northern part of
Wisconsin. However, nothing definite
is known at this writing.
LATER-The sedan was found in
Dubuque and three men were arrest
ed at Watertown, Wis. AS yet it is
question whether they are the ones
who committed the burglary.

Old Former Resident T. jSeS
We note the passing of another old
timer in Potosi, Chas. Bazinett, who
died at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
r. L. Osborn, at Harlan, Ia, Satur-
day, Sept s. Funeral services were
held at the home of his son, D. ].
Bazinett, in Dubuque, and the burial
was made in a cemetery at Platteville.
He was born in Montreal, Can, in
1888, and VITA other young men, JOS
eph MilIet, Cyrille Marcue, Felix
Bruneau, Ernest Sttcn and one or two
others came to this country in about
the year 1857. They found employment
over near the Platte river chOpping
wood 70" n On and II lin SmstJ and
maintained b~chelOr quarters. They
were a bunch of jolly young French
men and made friends by the score.
Some of these departed for other
parts but Bazinett, Millett and Mar
cue remained in POtoSi. In August
1862, Charlie Bazinett enlisted in the
service of his adopted country and
went to the front with Captain Swans
of Potosi Badgers, Company Fl, 25th
Reg. Wis. Vol Inf, and served to the
end of the Civil war. Sometime follow
inc his return he was united in mar
riage to a most estimable young lady
named Moore, over in the town of
Harrison and reared a nice family of
boys and girls. His wife preceded him
in death some years ago and after her
death he had abided among his chill
dren. Thus another old veteran of the
Civil war has fought his last battle.
