Souths Fined $25 for Stealing Gasoline Two 18-year-old town of Pelican youths, Clarence Keso and James Mineau, were fined $25 and costs each today in county court when they pleaded guilty to stealing from pai-ked 'cars on Anderson street Wednesday night. Unable to pay the fines, they went to jail i on, the alternative 30-day sentences.

The youths told Judge H. F. Steele they had been siphoning gasoline from parked cars in the city on six previous occasions. Some of the other thefts occurred near the Atlas Plywood corporation, the Daniels Manufacturing company and the Rhinelander Paper company property at the site of the old refrigerator company plant. Dist.

Atty. George A. Richards told the court the arrest of the two youths probably solved most of the gasoline thefts reported to city police and the sheriffs office recently. Chief of Police Joseph J. Hack said two patrolmen apprehended the youths Wednesday night as they prepared to take gasoline from a car parked on Anderson street between Rives and Davenport streets.

Keso and Mineau told the court they took gasoline to run a car which they used to haul wood and junk. "We wanted to earn some house here to obtain a clear pic- lure of his town's financial condition, its legal requirements, his authority in certain matters and many other details necessary for capable direction of the community's affairs. His only comment here was: "Boy, I've got me a job!" Do you remember the experience of Tom Thumb within the sack of cherry stones? Edward Krause, a Lincoln countv logger who is well known in this territory, is wondering if his recent predicament isn't comparable. Krause and his brother, Reinholt, were moving a load of camp equipment, including beds, mattresses and articles of sturdy furniture, from their logging camp to their spending money, and that's the only way could run the car," they explained. headquarters recently.

Edward rode on the back of the truck to keep the load in place, but he fell into a cavern in the load and was imprisoned. The truck, traveling over a stretch of rough road, tossed Edward back and forth within the load. Unable to free himself, he shouted desperately to his brother, but the noise of the truck drowned out his cries. Finally, however, the driver heard him and stopped the truck. Edward, shaken into unconsciousness by the time his brother brought the truck to a halt, quickly revived as soon as he was released from the load.

His entire body was bruised, and he said he felt "seasick" as a result of his bouncing ride.

Some Rhinelander motorists think city police are "double-crossing" them on the matter of checking cars for overtime parking violations on downtown streets.

In the past years, patrolmen put chalk marks on the right front tires of parked cars to keep track of the length of time cars were left on the streets. This year, however, patrolmen don't always do the checking of parked cars. Malt Kluball. new city traffic I officer, won't like this, but here's how some of the parkers get caught: Kluball. riding his motorcycle and carrying a long pipe into which a piece of chalk is inserted, cruises about the streets and marks the left rear aires of parked cars.

He carries the marking tool like an old fashioned knight's lance, and can patrol ihe downtown area in 10 minutes to mark all parked automobiles. you're one of Ihe car owners who watch for chalk marks on the right front tires before moving parked automobiles, better play safe and abide by the restrictions.

April 12 The slate supreme court took under advisement today a request that it order Circuit Judge Henry Grass to dismiss civil suit for $30,000 against two former Forest county officials resulting from an alleged loss to the county on land deal with the federal government. Atty.

Allan Classon of Green Bay. counsel for Lester A. Carter, Leo Samz and the Massachusetts Bond and Insurance company, asked the court to exercise its supervisory power and issue a writ of mandamus against Judge Graass. Classon contended dismissal of the action, originally authorized by the Forest county board, was warranted because the board later adopted a resolution to settle it for one dollar. Carter, former county treasurer, and Albert J.

Hess, former county supervisor, were accused of making a $21,000 profit on a sale of tax delinquent lands to the federal government for forestry purposes. The charges against -them later were dropped. In the civil action former county clerk, was named a defendant because he was a bonded official. The suit was ordered to trial before Judge Graas in circuit court at Green Bay when Judge Arnold F. Murphy disqualified himself Classon contended that in view of Judge Graass' refusal to dismiss the action, intervention by the supreme court would be a "short cut" to settling the dispute and would save both sides considerable expense.

He said a large number of witnesses would have to be called and records would have to be transferred from Forest to Brown county. Atty. A. B. Fontaine of Green Bay, special counsel for the county board, said he had an affidavit that two members of the county board finance committee had refused to sign a stipuation to settle the suit.

He named these members as James Sipple and William F. Bonack. Fontaine declared the supreme court had no reason to interfere since the action was a civil one. He no general question of public right was involved. He also argued there was no showing Judge Graass had erred in refusing to dismiss the suit.
