ESCAPED
TWO CoNvICTs TAKE A SUDDEN LEAVE OF THEIR
KEEPER.

Yesterday afternoon A. Whitfield, and j..
McTage, two convicts. made their escape
from keeper Chedic at Treadway's ranch.
1t appears that four of the convicts were en-
ployed at the place to dig reservoir. After
several days digging, they threw up high
embarkment. 1t was customary to allow the
men to go to and fro between the reservoir
and water closet about fifty yards away.
Yesterday the two men went together, and
after passing over the embankment nothing
more was seen of them. There was high
board fence behind the water closet, and the
keeper was certain that they could not get
over this fence without his seeing them. He
finally got uneasy over their non-appearance
and investigating the matter found that they
had torn board off from the lower part of
the fence and crawled throug H.

A GREAT INJUsTICE.-The Bcdie Free Press
has the following deacon Parkinson was
seen several days since travelling out on the
Antelope read on blackboard. 1t is sup
posed that no is making his way to Nevada to
hunt for a certain ''sack" which is supposed
to be floating around that State. The Deacon
presented a bill to Hoole, of the .SNeus
for $3.50 for services rendered in writing
Democratic editorials in violation of his Re
publican conscience. Mr. Hoole was fully as
liberal as the Deacon and gave the bill right
bl *. The Deacon is now looking for the
''sack" so as to make suitable return to his
old time friend Of the iS-Ne.es.' There GER
tainly must be some mistake regarding Mr..
Parkinson's writing Democratic editorials. He
never did such thing in this State, and he
would be no more likely to do it in California.
Such an attack upon the good Deacon's poll
tics is not creditable to the Press and does
him great injustice.

departs for New York this evening to take up

.TelUe[a,ax There's.

Christian Stats, proprietor of the sa-
loon and restaurant on Third street, did
not entertain angels in disguise last Sun
day. Two not very progressing look
ing fellows made their appearance at
the establishment in the morning and
ordered breakfast, which was duly eaten.
The pair then went their way saying
they would be back for dinner. When
noon arrived the guests were on hand,
but this time so dirty as to require ablu-
tons. They were shown up stairs to
wash and fix up, Staying away rather
longer than necessary, unless dressing
for ball, Mr.. Stats went up stairs to
look after them. One of the chaps was
busy looking things over in the bedroom
of Mr.. Stats daughter, but nothing was
mons to dinner having been given
the familiar gentlemen all repaired
to the dining room. The repast was
evidently well relished and the bill for
it promptly settled Once more the
fellows wendell their way bidding
their landlord an afectionate farewell. In
a short time it was discovered that there
was quite shortage in the .jewelry stock
of the Stats family The value of the
articles missing was estimated at ninety
dollars. During the afternoon officers
overhauled the patrons of Mr.. Stats and
a diligent search of their persons was
made but nothing found upon them that
would prove them to be the jewelry
thieves. They were locked up, however,
and Monday forenoon were taken
before Justice Halliger. Nothing posi-
tive was proved against them in the ex.
animation, but the justice decided to hold
them on charge of vagrancy and they
were sentenced to 80 days Imprisonment
in the Jefferson jail and for the first &c
days to be fed on bread and water. The
theory about the theft is that the two
thieves had an accomplice who was hand
ed the precious haul and he put it away
where he thought it would do the mos
good to the two.

acquitted, of Coarse.

Nobody will be surprised to learn Of
the acquittal of o. w. Traynor, the de
faulting democratic treasurer of Dodge
county. After numerous laws delays,
at the defendants request, which seem to
have been for the purpose of affording
witnesses time to forget the facts in the
case, or to die, he was finally brought to
trial last week in Green Lake county.
AS before stated, he was found not guilty.
Perhaps the verdict was in accordance
with the law and evidence. We are
bound to presume that it was. But there
is one damning, startling fact standing
out in bold relief, and that is that the
Dodge county treasury was robbed during
Traynor's term of Office of something
like 1925, To this must be added the
cost of prosecuting him, probably $4,000
more, and we have the sum total of what
the taxpayers of Dodge county will pay
for the luxury of having Traynor as it's
custodian of the public funds. Whether
this money went into Traynors pockets,
or was used for the benefit of the ring of
democratic officials who infested the court
house at the time, nobody knows, or at
least no one will tell. 1t is strongly
limited, however, that Traynor was more
sinned against than SHINING, and that in
imitation of the methods employed by
state treasurer Jansen during William
A Barstow's reign as governor, whose
defalcation was owing to the appropria-
ton of the state funds for the use of the
gang about him, Traynor permitted him
self to be used by his friends in the same
way. It is suspected that some of the
funds were diverted for conducting demo
cratic campaigns in Dodge county, and
we hear it limited pretty broadly that a
certain democratic politician who once
could, if he would, account for 81 900 of
the missing money. But this is entirely
immaterial now or at least is of no
avail so far as restitution to the county
is concerned. The taxpayers know that
their money is gone; they know that
there is no way to get it back; they know
that they lost it through the wrong doing
of democratic official and they know
that he has been shielded by many promi-
nent democrats whose actions have al
most denoted that they were as deep in
the mud as he is in the mire. 1t is a
democratic steal in the banner demo
cratic county of the state, and should, as
itsundoubtedly will, have its effect in
driving away many votes from the sup
port of the democratic ticket. The "ring'
organs in Dodge county, the "ring" Or
gans in Jefferson county, and democratic
ring politicians generally have now
a little matter of their own to attend to,
and they will not probably have much to
say for awhile about republican corrup-
ton and steals in Office. IF they do, just
mention Traynor to them, and see them
crawl into their holes, pulling their holes
in after them.

The Harvest.

The spring wheat harvest is progressing
favorably in this section and large por
ton of the crop will be cut this week
Spring wheat, it is safe to say, on the
whole it is turning out tolerably well; GER
tainly far better than was expected from
the outlook two weeks ago, the late cool
weather helping it out very much. While
some pieces will prove nearly total fail
ure from blight and rust, the result OF
the extreme hot, muggy weather, many
fields have done finely, making on the
average fair yield. Barley has yielded
well although most Of it is colored and
will rank about No. 2. Oats have q
heavy stand and many pieces will be har-
vested with considerable difficulty on &C.
count of being lodged There is a fine
prospect for an abundant corn crop.

The picnic party from here to Lake Mills
last Thursday had narrow escape from
a fatal accident. Edward Hendrickson
and two young ladies were out on Rock
Lake in row boat when it capsized and
all three were left struggling in deep
water. Mr.. Hendrickson had presence of
mind to turn the boat bottom side up
and the three held on the frail craft for
dear life one of the young ladies, however,
losing her hold several times but regain
ing it through the assistance of her COM
rades The party were finally rescued
by boat after a battle with the waves
for nearly half an hour. Nothing but
the rare pluck and great endurance dis
played by the young ladies saved them
from watery grave.

A dispatch to The Sentinel dated
Oconomowoc, July 26th, says:
Mr.. Persons Farr, an old resident of
Waukesha county, sustained serious and
probably fatal injuries this morning by
being run into by the 1870 train at the
Main street crossing in this city. Mr..
FAIR was driving his horse and wagon
across the track, unmindful of the ap-
preaching train. The hind wheels Of the
wagon were caught by the locomotive
and thrown to one side, while the sue
ton of the train carried the old gentle
man against the side of the engine, and
the recoil threw him some distance from
the rail. The survey of the injuries sus-
tanned reveal large scalp wound I'M
covering nearly one third of his skull,
and number of minor bruises. 1t is
thought that the parallel rods of the en-
CINE caused the most dangerous wound.
Mr.. Farr is about rs years of age, and his
recovery is extremely doubtful.

RELATIVE to the contemplated extern
sion of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway which is expected to run through
this county, The Milwaukee Sentinel of
recent date says:
In regard to the Northwestern Railroad
Company's extension to Madison, the
difficulty at this point has not yet been
surmounted. Outside of this drawback
the Company is ready for work. The
route which they have determined on
will run short distance south of Lake
Mills and between one and two miles
north of Jefferson. The right of way has
been secured through Jefferson County,
which the village Of Lake Mills will do
nate at cost of $40, 000 The right of way
through large portion of the other coun-
ties has also been secured. The North
western Road has also given notice that
if the right of way along the entire line
can be secured by the first of August,
grading will be commenced Immediately
thereafter. 1t is understood the North
western will begin work at several points
at once, and will endeavor to have trains
running over the new line before snow flies.
