first organized in 1865, when part of
the old Kruzen property, then located
near the center of the city, was pur-
chased for the sum of 81 500, and start

Mathews and Geo. r. Wisong. In this
building about 500 pupils were instruct

grades were taught preparatory to the
grammar department, which occupied
the second story, containing q large
school room and two recitation rooms.
The grammar department occupied
the lower story which contained two
school rooms and a recitation room.
Here in this one building the young
people obtained their learning for
years, but IN the course of time the
population increased so as to necessi-

ing in the Second Ward, at cost of
$4,000. The pumber Of youths of school
age from this time increased so rapid
~ as to require building in the Third
Ward at cost of -; one in the
Fourth Ward, costingS5, 200; and one

A Jury Found for the Trial of the Sic
b0ldt Lynchers.
To the Editnrs

DARLINGTON, Wis, March Is, 1892.
"A joint effort was made last week
by the friends Of the defendants and a
few persons who were appalled, by the
expense of the Sieboldt trial, to bring
about a meeting of the County Board
Of Supervisors and to induce the Board
to recommend the dismissal of the
prosecution by the district attorney.
This scheme seemed at one time in a
fair way to succeed. Nearly all the
members of the Board assembled, and
Mr.. Simpson, the district attorney, ex-
pressed willingness to dismiss if the
Board as such would recommend it,
but while majority signed such rec
ommendation, they did so as individ-
uals only, and not in their official
capacity. This was not satisfactory
to Mr.. Simpson, and the effort to secure
a jury went on. After three hundred
and eighty-six men had been exam
ined as to their competency, of whom
three hundred and five were excused
for cause, fifty five challenged by the
defense, and fourteen by the state,
jury was at last found on Friday
which was accepted by both parties.
Their names are: MIN. Johnson, VIM.
Field, J. E. Miller, E. r. Blake, John
VanMatre, O. M. Richards, Geo. Brin-
egar, Francis Mayhem, John Row
lands, Frank Campton, VIM. J. Steel,
T. B. McGranahan.
The evidence offered up to this time
has been upon the question of the san
ity Of the defendents, which was put
in issue by their attorneys.
