LAUDERDALE LAKES, Wisconsin, July 15. Dillingcr and
his gang have a hideout here. They don't happen to be occupy
ing it at the present time, but they have guards, watch dogs
and a couple of machine guns, at the place.
This startling information was given us by Miss Mary K.,
a native daughter of Lauderdale, who has lived on and worked
her own little farm for over half a century, and knows so much
about the flora and fauna of this section of Wisconsin that
naturalists, browsing about here, never fail to consult her. She
is gray and bent by "rheumatii-.'' now, but in the late nineties
could and did do her stint in the hayficld with the men.
She still milks a couple of cows, and tends a flock of cHickens,
but what she calls the hard work is done by hired men.
"If you don't believe it" said Mary, noting our quizzical
smile, "go up and see for yourself. They won't shoot you. An
old man and a boy live on the place, and if the dogs don't scare
you off they will."
The locale of the hideout we know well. It is at the far
western end of Middle Lake and known as the Sulphur Springs,
surrounded by marsh, tules and
being so choked with weeds at many places that you can t row
a boat but have to stand up, pull out an oar and push it over
them.
The springs themselves, are deep and very beautiful
banked with solid weeds down to the bottom, where the sand
boils up, like porridge on a hot stove, the prevailing colors being
a light sulphur yellow, and a
and a sapphire blue sometimes
rowed up there a favorite Sunday afternoon excursion after
the Saturday night dance, to which to invito the "best girl."
It was always a surprise after pushing the flat bottomed boat
through the 8cd choked channel, and floating over the crystal
clear springs, to find that the boat stayed calmly on the surface
cf the water, instead of dropping down those precipitous mossv
cliffs to the bottom far below !
However sve didn't accept
Springs but instead motored into
police department.
"What about this Dillinger hideout at Sulphur Springs?" wc
inquired.
"Well WHAT about it'" came back the "chief."
- "Is there such a hideout?"
"That's what they say and there's one over at Tibbet's too,
and a third in the middle of Troy marsh Dillinger hideouts
are thicker round here than flies around a beer barrel."
"All a lot of hooev, eh?"
"That what YOU said" (The "chief" didn't seem to be in
very good humor.)
"What do you say?"
"I say nothing."
"OK chief. Just a newspaper man browsing about, thought
I might get a story."
The speed cop immediately softened. "Newspaper man eh?
Why didn't you say so in the first place. So many wise euvs
nose around here since that Twohy clean-up, we got to look out,
or we won't do nothing by answer silly questions. What paper
you you represent!
"The Mail TRIBUNE." How about it is there anything
t( theM vm tgiM.
(We accented the Tribune, and let it go at that, knowing full
well that the Medford Mail Tribune would mean no more to the

It worked. At least his excellency did not ask further de
tails and proceeded to become almost human.
The Twohy kidnappers were caught by the Elkhorn police
when they made a break from their hideout near Lauderdale for
Chicago but ran into a telephone pole at Bethel church about
two miles from where this is being written.
Since then evprv-nnn hna hppn .orlnin tli Tli'llin,..-... :..

may be, but the chief doubts it.
mer resort here, the Twohys were caught here, the section is
so popularly regarded as an underworld hideout that it's the
last place in the world any criminal as Rinart as Dillingcr would
choose for his rendezvous.
However, reports come in ery day that the master criminal
is in southern Wisconsin somewhere, and the chief can't ignore
them, for you never can tell and if a tip should be disregard
ed and then the old fox should show up, what, a SAl that
would make out the Elkhorn police to be!
Yes he had looked up the Sulphur Springs story. There was
an old man and a kid in a broken down farm house out there,
and they did have dogs and a couple of guns, but that was no
crime. Anyone living in the woods can have docs and irons n,I
(can order off trespassers if they
said 111c cniei, and as long as
will mind ours."
Returning to Lamlordalft "Mary K" was informed of the
result of the interview.
"Hah!" quoth she, "these countrv cops are jest like nil the
rest of Vm skeered to death. Hut Onole Snm ain't lie's hvn
told and one of these nights that Kul'hur Springs hideout is
Kom to disappear and a lot of had egus with it. Just murk
what I'm telliu' ye and if they pet Dillinger and one or two
of his gals, 'twont surprije me."
If Mary K. is as wise about crooks as she is about birds and
flowers a big front page story may break around here.
So i;aek to the fresh (and soft wf.ter) lake of bovhood davs,
finding the little cottage built in "iSSfl a d. rather in need 'of

There are three small lakes, Mill. Middle and lireen. each

and probably still docs. The weeds annoy the bathing beauties,

passed to their reward, but for many years they got just what
I they wanted. Eight miles from a railroad, no phones or electric.
: lights, no daily mail this side of Elkhorn, Lauderdale was for
nearly two decades as cut off from the rest of the world, as the
lower reaches of Rogue river.
In the entire Middlewest there was no better fishing. In the
early morning or evening, whipping the bull-rushes just across
the channel never failed to bring home a good string of black
bass while anchoring the boat in the middle of the lake seldom
failed to add a pike or pickerel to the fish crate tied to the pier.
We shall never forget the 21 pound pickerel that Uncle B.
caught everyone around the lake came down to see it, before
it was cut into three parts and baked, for it was far too large
for the family cook stove.
Ah "THEM were the days", but the gasoline engine de
stroyed them. The automobile soon brought in the crowds, and
the put-put boats scared those fish to death that were not caught
by the casting pros from the Chicago ioop.
In the early days even we boys scorned blue gills. One
could pull them in from the end of the pier, as fast as one could
bait a hook. Perch were slightly more difficult. One found
them principally in the gravel shoals, and they were not like
sunfish and blue gills, stupid greedy things.
At this time of the year bass and blue gill fishing is about
all that remains, and you have to hunt them, they won't hunt
you and dash in dark shoals for a hook only partially covered
by a nip of raw ham. Early in the season, there is still good
bass fishing both black and small mouth, but the pike and
pickerel have gone.
Old Dave and his spaniel dog have gone too. Old Dave his
last name was Dunham, was a hermit direct from the auld sod
in Ivelant, and it was from him this land was bought in 18S3.
He smoked a clay pipe, drank raw whiskey from a tin pitcher,
and propelled his flat bottomed boat by pushing the oars instead
of pulling them. He had a reason and a good one. He wanted
to see where he was going, and what was in front of him, for
he was a hunter and a trapper, and the lakes were alive with
mink, musk-rat and wild ducks in the early days. He seldom
went out without a gun, even when the wild life" had rlisnnnpsr.
ed and therefore to us boys he was always a romantic and
adventurous spirit. A crack shot, the sound of his rifle always
un ul some Kina ior
wasted his ammunition. In his
and crows and anyone who can
wiin a ritle, need never take lessons in marksmanship from
Buffalo Bill. ,
Old Dave died as he would have wished, in his bunk with his
dng at his feet, and a jug of whiskey by his side. R.W.R.

that dazzle the eyes these days It
seem still the rule that the more

Even when the

necessarily anemic. Anemic Indi
viduals sometimes have rosy com

look pale In comparison with the
florid adult of mature ae who may
have one foot In a hole already.
Pallor Is noticeable In various con
ditions even though the Individual's
blood strength Is up to psr. Some
times pallor Is sjwoclated with an
actual increase In the number of red
corpuscles In the blod, as in mild or
chronic carbon monoxide polsonlns,
where the blood count is likely :o
show more red corpuscles than the
healthy person's blood haa
In certain cases of Brlght's disease,
or arteriosclerosis (hardening of the
arteries) In the early atages, the pa
tients look anemic but are not.
Morphine, heroin, cocaln addicts
often show a pallor yet are not neces.

The pallor of chronic lead poison

of blood strength, is familiar to phy
sic ions.

who ha lifted slap-atick comedy Into

a feeling one Is watching a master.

"An egg truck was overturned at
San Ramon. Strike pickets cruised
In Llvermore, Issuing warnings to
gasoline station operators to close."
"A truck carrying a load of pears
waa sent hurtling Into a canyon at
Dublin"
A LITTLE farther on we read: "Na
tional guard troops, with tanks,
machine guns and one pounders, be
gan to converge rapidly upon the.
stricken area.
"Regular army troops stood ready
for call at the Presidio military head
qua rtera here."
WHAT does It airinean?
It means Just this: Labor wants
something which employers have re
fused to give, so FORCE, In the form
of the general strike, has been re
sorted to to obtain what is wanted.
Aa always happens, the use of
force on one side calls for the use of
force on the other.
WHAT will come of It?
Well, back In 1914 Germany
wanted something which the rest of
Europe refused to give, so Germany
resorted to force to get what she
wanted.
The result was a war that cost mil
lions of Uvea and billions of money
representing the savings of people
everywhere, that Interrupted and set
back the progress of civilization im
measurably, and so disorganized the
structure of business as to bring on
the greatest depression ever known,
with vast Increase of poverty and
suffering.
That la what force does.
THE use of force here on the Pa
cific Coast, aa represented by the,
strike on the one side and the neces
sity on the part of the public to
protect Itself on the other, will have
results exactly similar to those of
the world war. The only difference
Is they wilt be smaller in size. j
Business recovery will 16 set back.
unemployment will be enlarged, abil
ity of Industry to provide growing
buying power will be crippled and
poverty will be Increased.
Wars always do that, and strikes
are wars.

WE OF the interior are the Inno
cent bystander. We had noth
ing to do with the quarrel, but will
do our part of the suffering for It,
losing our markets while it goes on
and for some time afterward while
our customers recover from their
wounds.
But it Is always that way. Holland
and Switzerland were innocent by
standers when the world war started,
but they suffered along with every
body else.
There la no such thing as Justice
when FORCE enters the picture. j

Why Not Raise the Awnings.
iTo the Editor:
My attention has been directed to
an order made by the city council,
or the proper authorities, that each M
property owner shall see that the
branches of the trees on his property
extending over the sidewalk, shall be
trimmed a distance of 10 feet above
the sidewalk; and I was strongly im
pressed with the necessity for this
order. I am Impressed with this par
ticularly because of the fact that
every awnir.g in Medford Is aliowed
to be constructed within six feet of
the sidewalk, and this arrangement
affords an oppotrunlty for real men
to extend to their full height when
they get out of the business district.
Now when men of such stature as
Bob Hammond. John Tomlln, Paul
Scherer, Chief McCredle. together with
the writer, emerge from their homes,
they can do so with a full limit of
their height, when walking under
their trees that are trimmed 10 feet
from the ground: but when th.y
reach the business section, in order
to avoid colliding with the support
of an awning or the flap that extends
for 10 Inches to two feet below the 4
support of the awning, they are ill
required to telescope themselves about
10 Inches.
Y'ou have all observed Paul Scherer
slipping several of the vertebraes of
his spinal column Into one. so as to
avoid bumping hla head against the
cross-pieces of the awnings, and
others who have attained the height
of real men are required to do like
wise to a lesser degree.
It seems as though the city coun
cil's order, when applied to the resi
dent aection of the city, was issued
for the purpose of allowing men to
walk straight up, but that when they
reach the business center, either a
humped position or a stooping pos
ture was to be assumed by them.
The ordinance passed by the citv
council with rterence to the awnings,
and the helnt from the sidewalk,
was evident. contemplated for such
Lilliputian. as Wilson Walt. Sebastian
Apollo, Vern Shanle. Owney Patten
and Dr. Holt, and others of like stat
ure, and it does not seem a reason
able regulation to ha ve the trees In
the residence section trimmed 10 fe
above the sidewalk and to have the f )
awnings in the business section only
six feet above the sidewalk. This
awning regulation Is very conducive
to the destruction of headgear of mea
who have attained to six feet or over.
The "eteranl fitness of things," and
the total absence of absurdity, is no
where better illustrated than by this
tree trimming ordinance and this
awning ordinance!

These are evil days for Republican
politicians. There are no government j
Jobs to be had. there are few state y
Jobs anywhere and. business not bems
what it was In the boom days, there
are fewer ways In which a politician
may be taken care of.
One of these Republican politicians,
who would appreciate a berth some
where, was lunching recently m a
crowded restaurant when he was
greeted by an old friend who :
passing the table. They chatted for
a few minutes and then the friend
noticed there was another man sit
ting at the same table with the ps'l
tlcian, but who had remained appar
ently uninterested and hardly seemed
aware of the politician's presence.
"la this man with you?" whispered
the friend, as he nodded toward tha
man seated at the table.
"Is he with me?" exclaimed the
politician. "He's paying f-tr my
lunch!"
