Don't Like Jail Fare

VIM. Bruce, Jos. Gender and Thos.
Mallory, the trio of burglars that were
caught here recently with the plumber
they had taken from the Hahn hardware
store and Spencer's jewelry stock, un-
dertook to dig out of the old shell, that
answers for county Jail, last Thursday.
They had doubtless heard of the success
of one, Jack Hess, in breaking Jail and
had begun work in identically the same
manner, by removing the morter from
the stones in the wall The noise, how
ever, attracted the attention of Turnkey
Brown who discovered the men at work.
Each was then put into separate pen
and put on diet that fitted the circum-
stance.
4, The prisoners were taken before Mu-
nicipal Judge Fifield Monday morning
and Bruce and Gender pleaded guilty to
the charge while Mallory stoutly denied
completely in the affairs claiming he
was not party to the crime.
Bruce created quite scene in court,
says the Gazette when with burst of
eloquence he declared that he would
rather spend five years in the pen than
one more day in the Rock county jail.
He wound up by asking his honor TO
sentence him then and there, but Judge
Fifeld turned deaf ear to his touching
appeal and deferred sentence until Tues
day. In connection it should be stated
that Bruce is one of the men that Turn
key Brown soaked" when they attempt
ed to escape the other day. Hence his
desire to leave as soon as possible. The
trio were arrested October LIST at Edger-
ton, for burglarizing the store occupied
by the Hahn Hardware company and
John and May Spencer. Jewelers.. They
entered the place boldly in broad day
light and after they departed hasty in
ventory found the following articles
missing; SO pocket knives, valued at
S44.70; 3 revolvers, value S13; 10 razors,
value S15.75; Is watch chains, value
S62.5O: 80 gold rings, value s25; 40 gold
plated watch charms, value $50; 10 gold
plated scarf pins, value $3.50.

The Burglars are Sentenced

Marshall Geo. Rae, Ell. B. Knapp, Rob-
ert Kreuger and Elmer Davis were called
to GAINESVILLE Tuesday as witnesses
against the three burglars charged with
looting the hardware store of the Hahn
Estate and jewelry stock of John and
May Spencer, October 1st. Rae and
Kreuger testified to following the men
along the railway track east of town and
the recovery of the stolen property,
while Davis and Knapp identified the
prisoners.
The trio having entered a plea of
guilty, Judge Fifeld passed sentence on
them as follows: William A. Bruce,
three years and six months; Thomas NAL
lory, one year, and Joseph lander, two
years and six months. Bruce was the
first of the prisoners to inform the court
of his past history. He stated that he
was unmarried, fifty years of age and
| that Milwaukee was his home. He said
that he was driven to the crime by the
too liberal use of whiskey. Mallory then
stood before the bar of justice and in a
low tone stated that he had no excuse to
make and that all he had to do with the
crime was to receive the stolen property.
He said he took no active part in the
robbery. lander then admitted that he
took hand in the work and stated that
he had no excuses to make. Sheriff APP
pleby and Deputy Brown then escorted
the prisoners to the noon train, they
were taken to the state prison at Wau-
pun, their sentence to commence at II
o'clock Tuesday.

Lecture Course for the Season of 10000.

Lecture Course for the Season of $4,000.
1t has been the purpose of the man
agement to procure lecture course for
the coming season that will surpass any
course previously given in our city. By
reading the following all can readily see
that the talent secured is first class with
out exception.
The course will be opened on Satur-
day, Nov. 25th, by the Slayton Jubilee
Singers. Last year the regular Slayton
Go. was in the east and the bureau sent
a substitute company. They were very
fine as all will agree but this year we are
to have the original and only Slayton
Jubilee Singers.
All will remember the very enjoyable
evening spent with Col. Fl. w. J. Ham
last season. Col. Ham gave such univer-
sal satisfaction and so many have eX-
pressed desire to hear him again that
we have secured him for Monday, Dec
18th. His subject will probably be "Old
Times in Dixie"
For the third number on the course
we will have on Wednesday, January "a,
the Ariel Ladies Sextette famous Smith
sisters). This concert company is, per-
hapS, as we'll known as any company in
the United States. No lover of music
can afford to miss this number. The
demand for this company is SO great
that the bureau has offered the manage
ment handsome sum for their release.
This number alone will be worth the
price of the whole course.
On Saturday, February 18th, Benz. G.
Chaplin will be with us. This entertain
ment will be something new for the peo-
pie of Edgerton and we can assure you
that it will be up to the standard of the
most critical. He has received the
highest endorsement wherever he has
appeared. Mr.. Chaplin has the following
repertoire: rip Van Winkle," "Nicho-
las Nickleby," ''Cyrano de Bergerac,"
Merchant of Venice" Faust, ''The
Falcon, etc.
The fifth and last on the course will be
the orator, vocalist, mimic, actor and
traveller, John G. Clarke. This man is
as good if not better than any orator
that ever visited our city and we can
promise you very rare treat. Some of
Mr.. Clarke's subjects are "To and Fro
in London, "Hits and Misses" 1.-THE
Rose, Shamrock and Thistle etc.
The sale of tickets will be announced
later. Price will be S1.OO for full course.
This will be whole lot of good enter
tainment, enough to last through the
whole winter at very small cost and we
trust all will give their hearty support.

The Ladies Society of the Congre-
gational church will meet with Mrs. G.
l.. Culton Wednesday, Oct. Is.
The first Quarterly Conference will
be held at the M. E. church Saturday
afternoon, Oct. q at o'clock. Presid-
ing Elder Stevens will preside and will
preach Sunday evening, Oct. %.
There will be "Blue Jay" social at
the home of Mr.. Andrew Harried in
Stebbinsville Tuesday evening, Oct. II.
Light, warm refreshments will be served
and each one in attendance will receive
a blue jay as a souvenier of the occasion.
Justice Spencer's court was engaged
several days this week in the trial of the
case of the Mccormick Harvesting Ma
chine Co. VS.. Thos. and Henry Thronson.
The action was brought to recover the
value of corn harvester sold the Thron-
sons but returned by them, after field
trial, for the alleged reason that it did
not do satisfactory work. The fact de-
veloped on the trial that Mr.. Thronson
subsequently purchased rival machine
which might account for the bringing of
the action. A large number of machine
men testified at the trial while a
good sprinkling of farmers watched the
outcome of the case as interesting spec
tators. VIM. G. Quarles of Milwaukee,
and L. E. Gettle conducted the prose-
cution while the interests of the defense
was looked after by J. P. Towne. A
Jury had the case in hand.
The reception rendered Rev. E. j.
Symons at the M. E. church last Friday
evening was one of those pleasant affairs
occurring between pastor and people,
appreciation being mutual. A light
luncheon was served and short but in
teresting program rendered. The re-
turning of Mr.. Symons to this charge
for another year is most satisfactory to
the members of the church and to
citizens of Edgerton in general, all of
which was exemplifed by the spirit of
good will and hearty welcome at Friday
evenings reception. And Judging by
Pastor Symons' smiling countenance up
on returning from conference, his hearty
hand-shake on the street and the keen
appreciation of the reception, he too is
satisfied to remain with us. Mr.. and
Mrs. Symons are most worthy people to
be classed as residents of any town.
The property plot in Hoyt's Bunch
of Keys calls for more furniture and
office fixtures than the average hotel in
this part of the countryis equipped with.
The stage settings, scenery, ETC., used in
this play are simply immense and next
Tuesday evening the new stage in Royal
Hall will be fitted up in a way never
seen before in Edgerton. "A Bunch of
Keys" is one Of the best comedys of the
day, and the company presenting it here
Tuesday evening is gilt-edged in every
respect. They make only few stands
in the state, and Edgerton is by far the
smallest town in which they play. II
anyone is looking for an evening of fun
and enjoyment, just make Royal hall
headquarters on Tuesday evening, Oct
18th. Within four hours after the chart
of seats was put out over fifty seats were
sold, and this means that standing room
will be at premium.

gerton and vicinity should congratulate
themselves upon the opportunity they
have to see that rafting farce, "a Bunch

piece is the best Manager Bothner has
had in several years and they are win
ming hearty praise wherever they appear.
Edgerton is the only small city that the
Bunch of Keys Co." appears in Wis
consin, all of their time being put in the
larger places, such as Madison, Kenosha,
Waukesha, Watertown, Fond du Lac,

There was very little in the perform
ance of LaRoy Millard's Minstrels at
Royal Hall Tuesday evening to recon-
mend it as first-class minstrelsy, or to
entitle the company to as good patron
age as was accorded it. In the main we
think the show was disappointment,
though there were some redeeming feat
ures. The exhibition of trick bicycle
riding was fine and the musical part of
the program all right, but there was too
little ginger and too many stale jokes
perpetrated to make it really enjoyable.
We don't believe any of these criticisms
will apply to the show coming next week.
