Beer Burglary.

Tuesday morning Thomas Collins,
local agen. for the Blatz Brewing
company, discovered the door Of his
warehouse open, and upon examin-
alton found that his stock was shy
three kegs and two cases of beer,
Mr.. Collins began operations as a
detective. He first learned that a
team had been seen in the vicinity
early in the morning, driven by
Winfield Davis boy, and that it had
proceeded toward the fair grounds.
He met the boy with team coming
from there. The boy being question:
ed told said he been hired by John
Nichols and James Chesterfield,
who came to his fathers house
about o'clock in the morning, to
haul load for them. The men
went with him directing him where
to drive. In the rear of Martin 4
prideauX's lumber office the team
was halted, and there the kegs and
cases of beer were found and loaded
onto the wagon by the men. By
direction of the men the boy drove
to the digging lots near the fair
grounds, where the beer was unload
ed by the men, and where it was
afterwards found.
Officers We're promptly notified,
warrants for Nichols and Chester
field procured, and District Attorney
Whitman called from Dodgeville to
prosecute. The accused men We're
found after considerable searching
and in the evening Of the same day
brought before Police Justice Rey-

upon evidence substantially as
above recited were bound over to

Enterprising Fair Management

Since the organization of the Min
eral Point Fair Association nearly
10 years ago, it has never failed to
hold an annual exhibit, or to pay all
premiums and demands in full. liz
those years many competitors have
come and gone, while others have
had seasons Of dormancy. Unfavor-
able weather, crop failures and dull
times have been met and outlived by
the Mineral Point Fair. It's premium
list has never been scaled, whether
rain drenched or drouth parched.
The people who have made this re-
cord are not all now in the flesh, but
their spirits are evidently still active
and in control of the present man.
agement of the Mineral Point Fair.
Dispute many discouragements, it
was resolved to make new and eX-
tensive immprovements Tor the fair
Of 1896, and it has been done, at an
expense Of nearly $4,000. New sheds
for horses, cattle, sheep and hogs
have been built; the race track has
been remodeled, the home stretch
changed from south to north side Of
the field, the whole widened and
leveled, until it is admitted by horse
men to be as speedy as any half mile
course in the state; new amphi-
theatre is being erected, 30Xl50 feet.
where 1,20opeople can be comfortably
seated, having rests for their backs
and feet, shielded from sun
shine or rain, and from whence every
guest can see the horses at all points
on the course; the grounds have been
graded to the best advantage for
beauty and convenience. SO radical
and extensive are the changes and i'm
proyements, that old habitues Of the
fair will scarcely recognize the place.
For the coming fair, Sept. s 3, 10 and
III, more liberal premiums and purses
are offered than ever before, and
more than usual attractions are pro-
vided, yet the price Of admission re-
mains the same, only % cents.
