Sues L. o. Brictson for $4,000

Papers we're filed in the circuit court
Monday afternoon in the suit of G. E.
Roe, as receiver of the Dane County
Bank, of Stoughton, against [. O. Brict-
son, of Deerfeld, to recover judgment for
$4,000, the aggregate of seven notes
given by Brictson to J. FL. Joice, who
was cashier of the bank before it's failure
and which it is alleged in the complaint
were endorsed by him and delivered to
the bank and became part of its prop
erty.
In his answer to the complaint Mr..
Brictson states that there had been ne
gotiations between himself and Joice as
to the latter acquiring an interest in the
Hacienda de San Goes de las Rusias."
in Mexico, in which Brictson had inves-
ted $4,000, and that it was agreed that
Joice should invest at least $50 900 there
in. That Brictson signed the notes: as a
convenient mode of showing the amount
to be so invested, with the express agree
ment that they were not to be paid by
him, and he alleges that the officers of

New Mileage Ticket

The Milwaukee railroad has abandon
ed the mileage certificates and will soon
begin issuing mileage credential ticket,
which is something new in the ticket
business. The ticket is made up of
several attached coupons. One of these
is detached by the agent one by the
first receiving conductor and one is re-
tanned as credit coupon by the passen-
ger. Attached to these are the passage
coupon, in number agreeing with the
number of conductors runs covered by
the routing of the ticket The ticket is
paid for at regular rates and the stubs
detached are sent to the auditor, each
conductor detaching a stub for his run.
The purchaser signs the original and the
credit stubs and each of the conductors
take his signature. He retains his credit
stub until 1000 miles haye accumulated,
when he sends them to the mileage
bureau of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, where they are checked against
the returned stubs and the rebate paid.
By this plan everybody can have the
privilege of the mileage ticket without
having to pay for the entire 1000 miles
down. The new form will be tried on
the Milwaukee road and if it proves
satisfactory it will be made the regular
mileage form.

The Morgan VIII Case

The attention of the circuit court was
taken up nearly all of last week in the
trial of contested will. The Morgan
will case was an appealed one from Judge
Sales court. Last January Mrs Nor
gan died at her home in Milton Junction,
leaving an estate valued at $4,000. In
her will she left nearly thirds to her
daughter, Mrs. Charlotte Goodrich, wife
of Ezra Goodrich, and nearly one-third
was left to a son, William Morgan. The
balance was given to seven grandchil-
dren, who received 800 each. The con-
test is being made on the part of the
grandchildren who claim that undue in
fuence was used over Mrs. Morgan when
she made the will and that she was not
capable of making it. A verdict was re-
turned Saturday afternoon by jury,
permitting the will to stand. The seven
defeated grandchildren in the contest
are anything but satisfied with the YER
dict of the Rock county circuit court
jury who on Saturday found that Mrs.
Morgan was of sound mind at the time
she made out her will. These grand
children have petitioned the court to set
aside the verdict and grant new trial.
They say that they will take the case in
to the state supreme court.

RUNDOWN BY A TRAIN.
Henry Whitaker of Fulton Struck by a
Switch Engine at GAINESVILLE

Henry Whitaker of Fulton Struck by a
Switch Engine at GAINESVILLE.
For the second time in his life Henry
Whitaker, of Fulton, narrowly escaped
death by being run down by railway
train, the last accident occurring shortly
after 10 o'clock at GAINESVILLE Tuesday
evening. The particulars of the accident
is thus told by Wednesday mornings
Recorder:
Mr.. Whitaker drove in from his Indian
Ford farm yesterday with a fine bay
mare and a top buggy. Last night
North street his rig was struck by a
Chicago & Northwestern switch engine
coming north. The horse suffered a
broken fore leg and was shot later by
Officer John Brown. The buggy was
wrecked and Mr.. Whitaker was pitched
headforemost to the ground. The fire
police ambulance was summoned and
the injured man was taken to the lock-
up on Dodge street where his wounds
were dressed by DR.. e. F. Woods, one of
the company's local surgeons. There
were several bad cuts on his head, one
on top and one on the back part, while
the wholescalp was loosened from the
skull. After the cuts had been sewed
up and his head dressed he was removed
to the Palmer hospital where he is being
cared for.
Mr.. Whitaker is wealthy farmer of
Fulton and had quite a large sum of
money on his person when the accident
occurred. He is seventy-two years of
age and is remarkably active for one of
his advanced years. He is full of life
and after his wounds were dressed he
lighted cigar and smoked up as though
nothing unusual had happened. He is
father-in-iaw of Charles l.. Culton, the
we'll known tObocco dealer of Edgerton.
Several of Mr.. Whittaker's friends
called on him last night and expressed
their sorrow at his misfortune. 1t was
very fortunate accident and it is great
wonder that he came out of it alive. He
met with similar accident at Edgerton
many years ago. He was struck by
train and barely escaped being killed.
One of his horses was killed at that time.
Evidently he is not destined to be killed
by the cars. Mr.. Whitaker is widower
his wife dying several years ago.
Walter Nolan, who is employed as call
boy by the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company, was also hurt at the
same time, although the fact was not
known up town until after Mr.. Whitta
ker's injuries had been attended to. Mr..
Nolan had been out to make call and
caught ride up on the switch engine.
He was standing on footboard in front
of the engine and emerging from line
of cars he saw. the horse and the front
wheels of Mr.. Whittaker's rig. A mo-
ment later the crash came and he was
thrown from lis position. He did not
think his injuries amounted to anything
but he was induced to go to DR.. Woods
office where it was found on examination
that he had sustained cut about three
inches long on the back of his head,
which extended down to the skull. DR..
Woods sewed up the cash and found no
other injuries. 1t was most fortunate
accident in every respect.

While walking down State street, says

tracted by large crowd in front of an

soon explained by the bystanders, who
said that the gentleman with the long
grey hair had bought several oranges,
and found five dollar gold piece in each
one. While talking he had purchased
another, and to the onlookers amaze
ment, five dollar gold piece fell out as
he divided it. Then the Italian refused
to sell any more. AS he stepped away.

few months ago James ]. Dow filed in the
Superior Court Of this county a petition
In which he alleges that in August, 1S49,
William Dow and Elizabeth d. Dow in
termarried and remained husband and
wife until the death of the latter in 1871;
that said Elizabeth left surviving her the
children. John Dow and James j. Dow
and her husband, William Dow; that at
the time of her death she and her hus-
band occupied the lands described in the
petition as a homestead which had been
duly declared and recorded by the hus-
band out of the community property in
1867. and that William Dow died in 1882.
Petitioner prayed for decree of the
court that upon the death of Elizabeth
ID. Dow said homestead property he de-
clared vested absolutely in said William

upon the 9th day of May 1899. In obedi-
