WISCONSIN'S RECORD.
FAITHFULLY TOLD IN READABLE
SHAPE.
Horrible Tragedy on a Lonely Farm
Peculiar Attempt at Suicide-Lost
Child Found Dead in a Swamp-Iron
Found on Penokee Range.

No trace of Louis Murgaw, the half
breed Indian charged with the murder of
the three children of Robert Bosley, can
be found. He is thought to be in hiding
near Spooner. Robert Bosley came to
Burnett County last spring and settled on
farm, ten miles northeast of Orange
postoffice. He had three children, Jen-
ME, aged Is; Henry, 10, and Robert, 4.
Murgaw began paying attention to Jen-
ME soon after the family came, and, al
though he was told not to speak to the
girl, still he was employed about the
place. On recent Sunday the father
and mother started for the cranberry
marshes and took the Indian with them.
They left the house in charge of the girl,
for they were to be gone two days. Here
was the Indians opportunity. He left
Mr.. and Mrs. Bosley after they had gone
a short distance, and said that he would
not go with them. He is alleged to have
gone back to the house and assaulted the
girl and then killed her and the children
and set fire to the house to conceal the
crime.

Fall Planting.

With nearly all fruit trees, except
peaches, which must be planted in the
spring, there is to be said in favor Of
fall planting, that the soil can be put
in better condition at less expense of
time and labor than in the spring. The
planter generally has more time to de-
vote to the work in the fall, and hence
can do it much better. Then, too, the
trees from the nursery are generally in
better condition than after they have
passed through a winter. The nursery
men also have fewer orders in the fall,
and can give more care to filling orders
at this season, and generally furnish
better stock. Even with the more ten
der sorts it is possible to give them
needed protection during the first win
ter by throwing furrow toward the
trees on either side. Unless there is a
large area to be planted and other work
seriously interferes, everything is in IA
yor of fall planting.

Cuts Veins, Catches Gore.

A remarkable attempt at suicide was
made in Milwaukee by Thomas Bosford,
who is believed to be a travelling man
from indianapolis, although he registered
at the Davidson Hotel as from New
York. Leaving the hotel he rode on a
street car to the end of the line, went
to the dwelling Of Emil Hobus, knocked,
found no one at home and the door I'M
locked, entered locked the door after
him, removed his coat and vest, cut a six
inch cash in his throat with his penknife,
lit cigar and was found smoking and
holding his hat to catch the blood which
was squirting in torrents from the wound
and which had nearly filled the hat.
When Bosford was asked what he was
doing by the police officer who found him
he said he did not want to soil the floor
or make any more trouble than was nee
essary, because he did not know the peo-
pie who owned the house. His hat was
full Of blood, but owing to his thought
fulness there was but little on the carpet.
He appeared perfectly sane and uncon-
cerned. At the emergency hospital it
was thought he might live, as the cut,
although deep, missed the jugular vein.

For Fastening Horses.

With some horses there Is always
constant trouble when they are at the
manger, by getting their feet over the
rope which fastens them to the stall.
OF course, this can be obviated by
shortening the rope, but this is not adj
visable where the horse is locked up
for the night after the feed is put in the
box, for the short rope does not give
him the opportunity Of lying down in
a comfortable position. The trouble
indicated can be remedied by use of Il
halter ring fastened on the strap going
over the nose of the horse instead of
under the jaw as usual. The rope is
attached to this ring, and then run
through staple in the wall directly in

The lifeless body of the 3-year-old son
of Andrew Kragness of Menomonie was
found in a swamp three miles from home,
where he had wandered and persisted
from exposure, fatigue and fright. He
went into the woods with two older boys,
and when night came he could not be
found. A searching party numbering over
200 was formed, and the adjacent coun-
try was secured, without success. Worn
out with fatigue a new party of over 300
was formed the next day, which renewed
the search with increased determination.
Wilson Greek was dragged for two miles
and every farm house within five miles of
the city was visited. After two days
the lifeless body of the little fellow was
found. His tear-stained face and bruis-
ed body showed signs of great suffering
from fright and pain.

RilIu The Kids Annearance.

Near the present home of Pat Garrett
is the grave of Billy the Kid, one of the
worst of the outlaws of the West, and
certainly bad as man could be. AS the
grave received him, he was a short, I'M
dersized little man, with legs none too
good, and the habit of a riding man.
His eyes were blush gray His chin
so far from being broad and strong
was narrow and pointed. His teeth
were large and projecting, the teeth OF
a carnivor. Providence alone knows
through what miscarriage in the icons
of evolution the soul of some fierce and
far-off carnivor got into the body of this
little man. He died at the age of TWEEN
ty-one. A man for every year-indeed
had Billy lived he might have grown tc

Vegetables for Poultry.

During the summer months on every
farm there are large quantities of vege-
tables too small for table use. which
usually go to waste. 1t will pay to
gather up these vegetables and feed
them daily to the poultry. Even if the
flock of fowls is on the range, the feed
ing of these odd vegetables chopped
fine will furnish variety which will do
the fowls good. In the fall when pota
toes and other root crops are harvested,
there is always a quantity which is
unstable, but which might be kept
with care for several months. 1t al
ways pays to do this, feeding these root
crops at least once a day during the
winter Even after the home crop is
used up, it pays to buy small potatoes,
cabbages, and other green crops for
poultry food.

be trimmed so that they are level, and
the animal should be shod with a small
outside calkin at the heel outside. The
inside heel should be plain and short.
Have the calkins placed on each side Of
the shoe about two inches from the toe.
Interfering sometimes comes from gen
eral debility of the horse, and when
this seems to be the case the animal
should be brought up in every way pos
sible, feeding 1t on oats and bran with
good hay. OF course the interfering
which is brought about by general de-
bility, is caused by the weakness of the
ankles. This, however, is not often the
case.

Flavor in Half Grown Chicks.

There is considerable complaint every
year on the part of consumers that the
half-grown chicks marketed as roasters
have very undesirable flavor. There
is no doubt that in nearly every case it
is due to poor quality of food given
the growing chicks. Meals of various
kinds, usually cornmeal, is fed largely
to growing chicks in some sections.
When bought at the low price it is
generally found that it is filled with
worms This sort of food given to
chicks will faint the flesh every time.
1t is hard to understand why those who
raise fowls for market will persist in
buying cheap foods. If the chick is
worth raising at all it is worth being
fed ON the best obtainable. If given
the best grains in variety, and a good
grass range, there is no reason why the
flavor of the growing chick should not
be all that is desired.-Exchange

front Of the horse in the back of the
manger, as shown in the cut. By at
taching weight of some kind to the
end of the rope to keep it taut, there
will be no trouble caused by this rope
getting in the way, for when the horse
moves toward the manger the weight
will carry the rope down. The weight
should not be heavy enough to incon-
venience the animal when he is lying
down at the full length of the rope.

edge large enough for the ears of corn
to pass Through on to the block. This
board should be about ten inches wide.
By slipping the ear of corn through the
hole, the chopping is done on one side
of the guard while the ear of corn is
held on the other side, SO that it is i'm
possible for one in any way to injure
the hand holding the corn. An opening
in the board above the hole is made for
convenience in handling the block.

Care of Winter Armies.

Apples marketed during the winter
always bring a much higher price than
when offered for sale just after har-
vest. OF course, it is well understood
that it is impossible to keep apples
through the winter for the high prices
of early spring unless they are kept in
cold storage, but with an ordinary
storehouse, or a good cellar, it is pos
sible to keep the fruit several months
longer by handling it properly. 1t
should be carefully picked from the
tree, and be free from imperfections or
bruises. In putting it into the barrels,
the barrels should be laid partially on
one side so that the fruit may be turned
into it from small basket and roll to
the bottom rather than fall. In this
way there is little chance of the apples
becoming bruised. Great care should
be taken to see that the fruit is so pack
ed that there will be little or no space
between the specimens, and they should
be packed into the barrel as firmly as
possible without enough pressure to
bruise them. After the barrel is filed
it should be carefully hoped, and the
head put in so that it will hold the top
Iayer firm, but not with much pressure.
Apples packed in this way can be kept
until midwinter easily If stored in a
building where they will not freeze, and
where the air is reasonably dry.-Indi-

If you ut one for water, make it
shorter, and before putting the end

enough to fit between the ends and nail

there is considerable danger of the per-

iron Found on Penokee Range.

Ashland and vicinity are in a furore of
excitement over the discovery Of the first
vein of iron ore ever found in Ashland
County, and land values in the new min
eral section have greatly appreciated. For
some time past James Cues has been
prospecting on the Penokee range, and
last week his efforts were rewarded by
the encountering of a body Of specrlar
ore of great promise. A company has
now been organized at Mellan to develop
the property while numerous others have
been formed to conduct exploratory OPP
erations elsewhere on the Penokee range,
particularly along the western end.
