Pressed for details of the capture, Poss said:

“I found that she came from a good family in La Crosse. I permitted her to call them on the telephone last night. They came and took her away. I doubt if I shall ever see her again. I can’t divulge her name, but she was a perfect lady.”


The sheriff was visibly affected.

Sparta people do not readily accept Sheriff Poss’ official report. In preference they are inclined to credit a widespread story that “Eve” slipped through the sheriff’s fingers at an early hour this morning.

“What right had you to let her go?” a reporter asked.

“We didn’t have a thing on her,” explained Mr. Poss.

Jeff, interesting story! Years ago I found this medal that's from the 1910 War Maneuvers in Sparta, Wisconsin. Wonder if the person that lost this medal could have been there in 1915?
