Manitowoc Herald News, Wednesday, January 23, 1924 P.2 ********** COST RAPIDS MAN EXTRA FIVE WHEN HE REFUSED TO APPEAR Thos. Stehula, Charged with Illegal Fishing Was Stubborn and Pays for it-Old Excuse Failed to go this Time Thomas Stehula, an aged resident of Rapids, is inclined to be somewhat stubborn and when he don't want to do a thing he just simply won't unless there is some power to force him to it. This attitude cost Stehula and additonal $5 in municipal court yesterday afternoon when the amount, or nearly that, was taxed onas (sic) costs to the fine which he paid on charge of violation of the fish laws. Stehula was charged with fishing with a net within 200 feet of the Rapids dam, having been caught in the act by game wardens at midnight Wednesday. Stehula was not arrested but was told to appear in municipal court yesterday morning at 10. He failed to show up and a warrant was issued and given to Sheriff Engelbrecht for service and Stehula was brought into court late in the afternoon. He admitted the violation charged and was assessed a fine of $25 and costs, totaling $30.35 and paid. A plea that his wife was ill and that he wanted the fish for her was made by Stehula but the court was told that three or four years ago when the man was deteced (sic) in a similar violation and had made a piteous plea, advancing some excuse, he had not been prosecuted but had been warned of the law, and the excuse failed to go down. It was also stated the Stehula had given the wardens a fictitious name Wednesday night and he admitted it excusing the action by saying he thought the officers were fooling him. Later he did not want to correct the misinformation, but the wardens learned his name from others. Wholesale prosecutions are probable as result of reported violations which the wardens are investigating, Warden Egan having the assistance of two Sheboygan wardens this month. Four cases have already been before the court. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, April 14, 1916 P.1 ********* [bur 01-26-1924/cause: pulmonary tuberculosis]
