preme Court.

Appleton, Wis. Feb. S.-[Spccial /
1abcas corpus proceedings are to he
brought today in case which Will be OF
Importance to most Of the counties IN
Eastern Wisconsin. The conStitutiona!ity
of the laws for the establishment OF
warehouses is TO be tested in the Su-
preme court in the case of Sebastian
EeldSchmiGt. who was sent up tor five
days. after being brought up before the
circuit court.
Sheriff McMurdo claims that there is
no law allowing a justice to send Il va
grant to the workhouSe. but that al
commitments should be made to the
county jail. the recognized legal mode Of
punishment Tor petty otfrnscS Even II
a commitment to the workhouse is leGal.
Sheriff McMurdo says he is entitled 10
fees and hoard bills for persons sent up.
and in this case the workhouse should be
in his charge. If the sheriff wins his
case, like action will undoubtedly he
brought by the authorities in other Coun-
ties where the same mode of ira mp caring
is i'll vogue.
The establishment of a wOrkhOuSe two
years ago proved a godsend to the people
of this county, as it effectually cleared
the neighhOrhOod of the hobo element.
while before the workhouSc was open. the
every winter night, now 4 tramp is 6
rarity. and there are but two or three
occupants of the stone breaking sheds.

Thousands OF tons Of these ores are left
OH the dumps in this locality and have al
ways been considered practically worthless
Col. Frambach during his visit here, has
made thorough tests Of this particular meth
od Of handling the above ores, and has be
come convinced of its practicaity. He has
secured an exclusive franchise in this 10
cality for this process.
During the present month he will com
mence the construction of a plant. the site
of which will be near Victor, for the redur.
tion OF ores in Fremont county. II is re-
ported that he has secured the site for an
other reduction plant near Florence. He
will reside in Denver. and has already given
one or DenverS real estate agents an order
TO buy for him an elegant home on Capital
hill.
Col Frambach left Kaukauna for
Chicago last week and has not yet re
turned. Ii is we'll known here that he
has had for nearly year n trusty repre-
sentative i'll these Western mining re-
gions. who has been investigating the
various phases of mining in different To-
calities. If he has invested there it has
been on no hasty judgment. Should Col.
Frambach leave this city his departure
will be regretted by everyone here.
Mrs. ID. G. Clunc died at her home in
South kaukauna Saturday. She was the
wife of Assessor ID. G.. Clunc of Buchan-

lrou>ly for its promoters.

sons Who. according to undiSputed testi-
mony before tn" board during the inves-
tlGatI0n. were guilty of smuggling letters
IN and out of the prison for convicts
| hcse were the same persons who
brought on th" investigate together
with cX-ChaDlain Bancroft. There is a
statute which makes the smuggling of
letters III this manner an offcnse punish
able by Imprisonment in the state prison
The board of control held Il special ses-
sion this morning to discuss the matter
and will consult the attorney-General
Members say that the law is very clear
and that there is little question but that
the parties will he prosecuted for a Grim
nal OffCnSc
President Heg and the other members
OF the board are somewhat amused by
explanations made as to the Manypenny
draft, which was the concluding feature
OF the prison investigation. Probert, who
was employed in the chaplain'S office
claimed that he had. after securing Many
penny's endorsement of the draft. sent the
money, so. III two drafts to Madison,

nrdS in Manypcnny's case. the other of

To correct an error in recent issues Of
Wisconsin papers | take the liberty Of giving
you the history of the Manypenny check,
which seems To have been a factor in the
recent prison investigation at Waupun. A
check for 500 was sent Manypenny by me
in January, 1897, from funds belonging to
him held in trust hy me. The contested
check is endorsed. Pay to W. G.. Bancroft"
ana signed by Mannyprnny. There is no
question about the gcnuinrneSS of the sigma
tur" as hold number of his papers signed
by himself, with which compared this one.
Mr.. Bancroft then signed the check and the
remainder of .hP endorsements are those of
the banks through which it passed, showing
that Manypcnny did know who handled 1t,
and that 'robcrts name does not appear on
the check If Probert handled it at all II
must have been for W. &. Bancroft. The
warden asked for the Cancelled check, which
was sent him, and which will at east elimi-
nate few lies from the problem.
