Stanley Stout, of Liberty, was a
pleasant caller upon Viroqua friends.
He has just completed compiling his
tory of early events in his town to be
used at the county semi centennial cele-
bration on May 81. Mr.. Stout says
the soldier record of Liberty was re-
msrksble. Nearly every man who was
eligible went to the front.
A young man named A. G. Cubela,
from near Muscoda, was placed under
arrest here, Monday, on complaint OF
County Clerk Brandon. The charge is
that he attempted on the day named to
procure the county and state bounty on
seven young wolves, which the officers
suspect were brought from Grant county.
Cubela claims to have killed them in
Wheatland. He has partner, he says,
in wolf hunting. young Aiken, OF
Readstown, who secured bounty on six
wolf scalps about week since. This
litter, it is alleged, was captured in
Sterling. Cubela's preliminary hearine
is set for Thursday.
