SEVEN YEARS AT WAUPUN.
Jack Cranage Sentenced For His As
sault Upon Mrs. Belscamper.

Jack Cranage, the evil doer whose
deeds of lawlessness have been out
lined from time TO time in this paper,
was brought into court Thursday Of
last week to receive his sentence for
the outrageous assault upon Mrs.
Belscamper in this city o. the night
of June 9th last.
When asked by Judge Clementson
if he had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced upon
him, Grange in his customary nervv
manner stated that he was convicted
of crime he was innocent of. etc, and
did not deserve punishment at all
But this was not the verdict of twelve
of his fellowmen who had listened to
the damaging evidence against him,
and the codrt thereupon read his SEN
tence, that Of seven years at Waupun
Of hard labor and one day of solitary
confinement.
Sheriff Dickinson took his prisoner
to Waupun Friday and was accom-
panied by Mrs. Dickinson who had
Lizzie Ginger in charge. The latter
was brought back here from prison to
testify as witness against ID. S.
Graham who was on trial for adultery.
Cranage was exceedingly ugly and
abusive from the time of his sentence
to the moment the sheriff left him at
Waupun, renting his feelings upon
every one he CHANGED to meet. For
downright meanness he is the worst
criminal Sheriff Dickinson and family
have been obliged to contend with
and all were pleased to see him 90.
1t is to be hoped that his term of in
generation will bring about needed
reform in his character and that if he
ever returns to his old stamping
grounds it will be to live within the
boands of law, and be an upright citi-
zen

After the autopsy, which revealed
the brain as normal, or above normal,
the body was placed in black stained
pine coffin, every portion of the anat-
omy being replaced under the supervi-
sion of Dr. Germ and Warden Mead.
Shortly afterward it was taken TO the
prison cemetery and an extraordinary
precaution taken to completely destroy
it. Accordingly, a carboy of acid was
obtained and poured upon the body in
the coffin after 1t had been lowered
into the grave Straw was used in
the cour corners of the grave as the
earth was put in to give vent to such
gases as might form. 1t is the belief
of the physicians that the body will be
entirely disintegrated within twelve
hours During that time and as long
as deemed necessary a guard will be
kept over the unmarked grave.

ANOTHER VICTORY.
Lancaster High School Team Wins
Over Platteville High.

Football reached high-tide in Lam
easter Saturday. Never before in
the annals OF the game in this section
was there such universal and pervad-
ing interest The contestants were
the high school teams of Lancaster
and Platteville and the game brought
into play the finest athletic material
that could be supplied by these insti-
tutions It was fought with pluck
and skill and was highly creditable
both to the winners and to the de-
feated. The Astounding enthusiasm
called out, both from the visitors and
our home folks, will do much to en-
chance the popularity Of this siren
uous form OF athletics.
Lancaster won by the decisive
score of % to 6. This was victory
of unexpected magnitude, as the Wis
ting players were regarded as for
midable, and proved to be so when
lined up on the gridiron; but they
could not wit hstand the weight and
prowess of the Lancaster boys, sup
plemented as it was by the skill ac-
quired through thorough practice.
The Platteville contingent came to
Lancaster to win They claimed
superiority to the Normal team Of
their town, having defeated that az
gregation recently by score Of II to
To- But they failed 10 reckon with
their host and the story Of how it
was done is given herewith:
Lancaster kicked off 10 Platteyille.
Chapman got the ball and returned
it ten Yards In three trials the Wis
itors failed to advance the ball an
inch. showing up Lancaster's defense
as being superb. When the home
team secured possession of the Pug
skin the result Of the contest was not
long in doubt, for after three minutes
play Lancaster showed Gellbach over
for a touchdown, and this was again
repeated before the close Of the first
half.
The second half was well played.
After Six minutes Whitney bucked
through Piatteville for the third
touchdown and Mackey scored the
fourth and final one five minutes
later. The last named player kicked
3 out Of goals Near the close Of
the second half Platteville took a
brace and Plourd ran forty yards

1t was just exactly III o'clock

strapping was completed and the
guards stepped back. Warden Mead
raised his hand and at 1:121a Electri-

threw l 700 volts IF electricity into the

The rush of the current threw the
body so hard against the straps that
they creaked perceptibly. The hands
clinched suddenly and the whole atti-
tude was one of extreme tenseness.
