Notes relepnoned From rhe Asylum.

Mrs. n. Nastwochtel, an insane
person who came here from Mendoza
asylum three weeks ago, made her es-
cape from the Grant County asylum
Monday morning at o'clock by elud-
ing the attendants and crawling out
under the back fence. A terrible
blizzard was raging at the time and
when her flight was discovered the ut
most CONSERVATION prevailed among
the asylum people, lest She perish
from cold and exhaustion. After a
vigorous hunt lasting almost all day
she was found on Platte river three
or four miles from the county farm.
To say that Superintendent Anderson
was delighted to find her alive and in
fairly good condition, but mildly ex-
presses it.
A patient from the town of Wood
man, Mrs. Catharine Lynett Reyes,
died here Thursday, February 6, of
consumption She was buried in the
Mt. Hope Catholic cemetery on Satur-
day. She was Al years of age and
leaves a father and step-mother and
several brothers and sisters. Deceas-
ed had been married but was separat-
ed from her husband She came to
the Grant county asylum in June,
1895. and was quite sick when receiv-
ed here. Her relatives were here at
the time of her death and all were
fayorably impressed with their kindly
ways and well-bred manners.

SONG Corrections.

In our last weeks review of the life
of Isaac Shepherd two statements were
made that have since been disputed.
Though there is still much conflicting
testimony on the questions, it seems
to be pretty well settled that Shep-
herd never received a gift of so acres
OF land from Horner or any one else
and that he did not live as a married
before coming to this state and conse-
quently did not the freedom OF wife
and children. These storie have been
current among old settlers and not
few believe them yet but as the Shep-
herd family have no knowledge of
them and claim they are not facts
their existence must be accounted for
in the tendency of mankind to envelop
the lives of historic characters with
halo of romance and to ascribe to
them noble deeds which their admir-
ers believe would have been performed
had the opportunity for them ever
occurred
The story of Washington and his
little Ratchet is a myth, but it is so
inspiring and SO typical of the char
acter Of the Father of his country
that it is good as though it were true.
These stories Of Shepherd and the
generous Horner though they may be
fiction viii do no harm though they
should live and become part Of the
of the latter slavery days,
to shed little brightness on its sad
and cruel history.

FROM LIMA'S BAD LANDS"
ALBERT HOOKS. WHO JUMPED HIS BAIL
TURNS UP.

Gives AWAY His Whereabouts by Bring
ing Suit Against An Attorney For Brib-
cry.
Sheriff Win Dyer and James Nc
Gonigal of Lancaster were subpoena
ed as witnesses in case in Iowa and
left here Friday. At the present writ
ing (Tuesday) they have not yet re-
turned, but we are in possession of
certain facts relating to their trip
which will interest the Herald read
ers in the vicinity of that part of the
township of Lima. Grant county,
known as the bad Lands, or .Hell's
Half Acre"
Concerning the Iowa case we have
only the knowledge that Albert Hooks,
once a resident of Lima, brought suit
against an attorney for bribery. That
the attorneys father came here and
looked up Hooks record, in conse-
quence of which Messrs. Dyer and
McGonigal were detained as witnesses
by the defendant attorney to testify
to certain things against the good
character of Hooks.
In the year 1885 Albert Hooks was
arrested in the town of Lima, charg-
ed with adultery, his partner in the
crime being named in the complaint
as-Phoebe Hudson. At the conclu-
sion OF his hearing the justice placed
him under $3.50 o. bonds to appear at
the February term of Grant county
circuit court, 1885. Messrs. Elijah
Hooks and Hosea T. Mundon were his
bondsmen and they had TO pay the
$4,000 in to the court as Albert Hooks
suddenly disappeared before his case
came to trial. The case of bribery in
Iowa gave our officers a clue to his
whereabouts and it is said that besides
giving evidence concerning his past
character Sheriff Dyer will bring him
back to answer to the charge of adult
cry.
LATER.-,Mr. Dyer returned today.
Says that the bribery case was put
over to next term of court and that
Hooks will be watched so that he can
net get away. 1t is reported By wire
that James McGonigal was arrested
at Ossian, Iowa, for suspicious
character.

They D,dn't Play Fair

A good story comes from Cuba City.
1t seems that number of the specu-
lative young men of the village have
been indulging in the innocent game
known as draw poker. 1t also APP
pears that Dame Fortune has been
smiling upon one more than the 9TH
ers. A young harness maker has
been gathering in the free silver and
sound money of the other fellows with
a quiet dignity that narrowed the
souls of the unlucky ones and awak-
ened in their troubled breasts grim
determination to clean out and hum
BILE this proud gatherer of fat jack
pots.
Accordingly smooth plan was laid
to engage the unsuspecting ..waxey"
in little game and at convenient
time when it was the turn of one of
the conspirators to deal. the lights
were to be accidently put out and in
the darkness and confusion "cold
leckn was to be sprung which would
We to the victim an ace full, and to
the others four tens. The
scheme worked to charm. The
game was begun, the festive harness
maker was in betting mood and at
an opportune moment the lights were
extinguished and the decks of cards
changed. But more changing was
done than the three Jolly schemers
knew. 1t scenes that the swave har-
ness maker chad got onto their little
game and complacently substituted
deck of his own for the frigid one
slipped in to annihilate him with.
The cards were dealt, the three
partners got cards about as they ex-
pected, one having four tens, and the
betting began. Small change was
first staked, then dollars and finally
bills, silver certificates, green backs,
bank notes and shining gold were
wagered and piled in reckless profu-
sion on the players table.
The honest manipulation OF leather
and wax had bet all of his money but
the fever of all concerned to enlarge
the Stake was still burning and a sty-
lish new harness and choice family
COW were, so to speak, piled upon the
table with the rest of the valuable.
Then the hands were called and the
gentleman with the four tors. with an
air of triumph and satisfied revenge,
was about TO rake in the wealth when
the supposed victim, with little
more exhiliration of spirit than is his
usual wont, exclaimed II guess not;
that's mine; ! hold four aces.
Then an awful silence pervaded the
apartment Il was so dense as to al
most crowd out the atmosphere and
the crest-fallen trio gasped for breath
while the happy winner slowed his
gains into capacious pockets and with
a '.smile that was childlike and bland =
commiserated the bad luck of his fell
lows.
The story soon leaked out and the
men who had bet on a .'sure thing
and lost were enraged.
Legal proceedings were begun and
in Squire Stephens court fines and
costs for gambling were assessed but
on an appeal to Court Commissioner
of Platteville the whole case
was dismissed on account of irregu-
larities in the same and the harness
maker is still winner

A Careless Driver.

Saturday afternoon as Henry Block
was driving from Lancaster to the
house of his father. Carl Block, one
mile west of town, with single horse
hitched in road cart, a team OF horses
hauling lumber wagon with a hay
rack on, came up behind him at a
rapid pace. The driver did not pull
up his team, and before the boy was
aware he and the horse and cart were
making some astonishing mid air
revolutions. When the bow crawled
out from under the badly splintered
wreck OF the cart in dazed and
bruised condition. the man was driv-
ing right n out of sight at the same
rapid gait with which he had ap-
preached him, apparently taking no
notice of the calamity his recklessness
had brought about Henry was in
