ECHO OF THE ROSTER SUIT.
Agreement Reached Whereby the Fa
nous Case is DroDped

Madison, Wis, April 4.1[Special l.

at last buried, and only it's echoes win
remain to haunt the memory and dis
turb the slumbers of the Democratic
statesmen who once held sway in Wis
consia. The case was appealed to the
Supreme court from Judge Siebeckers
decision, which was virtually that the
plaintiffs, George and Robe Dow, the
members of the firm of Tracy, Gibbs &
Co. and w. J. F. McFail could not
recover damages nor the cash bonus
paid TO secure the roster contract from
the defendants, who were Gov. George
w. Peck, Private Secretary c.. l.. Clark,
Adjutant- General J. B. Doe Attorney
General J. l.. O'Connor and State Sem
ator II. NJ. Bashford, for the reason that
if there was fraud in the deal the
plaintiffs must have known it.
The appeal has been dragging along
unargued in the Supreme court nearly
two years. But it will not be argued.
Friday the attorneys on both sides of
the case signed stipulation for it's dis
miSsal which was filed in court today.
Under the terms of the stipulation the
defendants will pay all the court costs
in the case, amounting to about $4,000,
on condition that the appeal be dis
missed.
lit is stated here today that under
the terms of agreement the appeal is
dismissed without costs to either party.
and the Judgment for costs in the circuit
court heretofore entered is declared sat
isfed and discharged, and the defend
ants are to satisfy and discharge the
same of record accordingly. 1t is also
stipulated i'm all cases except that of
Doe that no further actions are to be
begun by either party against the other.

The prospect for large yield of maple
sugar in Marinette county is Rot very en-
couraging at present. Those who have
years in the western part of tire county
claim that the crop will be the lightest
in years, owing to the total absence Of
snow which is always an important
agent in producing an extensive flow of
sap. To many farmers who own large
tracts of maple timber, and who have
the best appliances for making sugar and
syrup, it will prove serious misfortune.
