He0Uy Robbery IN Dane I!
81, 200 Stolen from Mr.. A. G. King.
$4,000 Reward Offered

We learn from ex-Sheriff Geo. W
McDougal, who has now gone int
business as detective police officer
for which he has admirable qualifca
tions-of a startling robbery which
took place in the town of Dane, abou
eighteen miles northwest of here, or
Friday night.
Mr.. A. C. King, well known citi
zen, who has been engaged for some
time in the business of buying cattle
on Friday afternoon, at Middleton, re.
ceived on the platform of the depot
from his partner in business, a Mr.
Smith of Chicago, the sum of 81 zoo
in large bills, some U. s. Treasury
notes, some National currency, includ.
ing three $1,000 bills, eight $500 bills
and two $500 bills. Putting the money
in his pocket, Mr.. King soon after
started for his home, taking the mon
ey out while on his way to sec that it
was all right, but not looking at it care
fully enough to tell how many notes
were of the different descriptions Of
currency. Just before reaching home
couple of men in cutter passed him
and looked at him rather carefully, but
he thought nothing Of it at the time.
After reaching home, and before re-
firing for the night, Mr.. King took
his money up stairs and laid it in q
package on shelf in closet, with
some other papers. In the morning
when he went to look for his treasure,
it was missing, and no trace of it has
teen obtained up to the present time,
ror any clue to the robbers.
Part Of the house in which Mr.
King dwells was occupied by another
family, the head Of which we believe
was absent at the time of the robbery
and their outer door was found open
the next morning, and also door lead
ing to the chamber up stairs. No
noise was heard, no one disturbed and
nothing known till the next morning
of the robbery, as to the perpetrators
of which all is in mystery, the unrav-
cling of which, almost without clue,
will be work of no small difficulty.
Mr.. King offers reward of $500
for the apprehension of the robber or
robbers, and 81, 500 for the recovery
of the money or in proportion for any
part thereof -Stdte Journal.

tgWest Blue Mounds

Is small village, situated at the base OF
the highest bluff or mountain in the State
of WISCONSIN, from which it takes its
| name. There are two mounds, one in
Dane, the other in Iowa county. The
county line divides them. They 60 by
the name of East and West Blue Mounds.
The west mound, which is in our county,
is the highest by about 80 feet. By actual
measurement it is 486 feet above the vii
lage; and it has been estimated to be
| 1160 feet above the level of Lake Michi-
gan. There are 70 acres of rich level land
with four beautiful springs Of water, about
40 rods apart, on the very top These
springs are always full of good water at
all times of the year. They are never af-
fected with drought. These mounds no
doubt are the great reservoir of a large
tractlof country. 81 '
The whole of the west mound is owned
by Mr.. G. B. Arnold, the hotel keeper of
the villnge. He has been probing and
digging little. here and there, about the
surface of the mounds, opening springs,
filling them up sgain, and trying num-
Der of other experiments; and while thus
engaged he has found many curious things,
among which, while opening out spring,
at the depth of five and-a-half feet below
the surface, he found large deer's horn.
imbedded in willow stump about six
inches in diameter Both were in an ex-
cellent stateiof preservation. He has also
found indications of oil. Wherever he
has opened out a spring the water is
strongly impregnated with sulphuric and
other gases. Bubbles will rise to the sur
face and burst which have the appearance
and smell of genuine oil. Many are of
the opinion that there is lead. in great
quantities in these mounds, from the fact
that wherever the surface has been dis
turbed, there has been found what miners
call beautiful dirt. e9a5 f5hda
Mr.. Arnold contemplates seeing at some
future day what these wonderful mounds
are made of by boring, and is about max
ing arrangements for machine for this
purpose. 1t is thought ne can get splen-
did artesian WELL lie is also thinking of
improving the summit by making carriage
roads through the timber building an
observatory, and making other attractions
sufficient to induce the pleasure-seekers Of
our State to pay tia visit s.qs3 =
Mr.. Arnold commenced keeping hotel at
this place sixteen years ago, and, notwith
standing he was burned out twelve years
ago, he has succeeded in making his for
tune. He is now one Of our strongest
western men, friendly and courteous to all,
with first rate business qualities. He is
one Of those men that succeed in whatever
they undertake. ~ Mn E.T.w.

FIREs.-Our Muscoda correspondent, B.
II. E., writes under date of Jan. 25th =
The steam saw mill at this place, belonging
to Samuel Bull, was entirely destroyed by
fire Sunday morning; loss, $4,000. No
insurance. The Touring mill of Charles
Rodolph was destroyed by fire on Monday
of last week, together with its entire con-
tents. Mr.. Rodolph's crops We're all stored
in the mill, and the loss falls heavily upon
him.
By the State Journal we learn that a Sc.
rious fire occurred at Boscobel on Sunday
evening, destroying the Gault House, kept
by Fred. Fritz,near the railroad depot Nor.
ris' Agricultural Implement Depot; the
building owned by Louis Rachel; and John
Comstock's saloon, kept by one Fowler.
The total loss was some $4,000. OF
$4,000, Mr.. Fritz's nearly $4,000, Ra
chefs $4,000, Comstock's about $4,000
Fowler's some 500, and Norris quite
heavy, as large number of machines were
consumed. The total insurance was about
$500. a6
The railroad depot, the Carrier House
Coates store, and indeed large part o.
the town was in great danger, but was
saved by the liberal supply of water from
the race of Sylvester's mill, which runs
through the street, applied by small fire
engine and hose.
