not take long to vote. The man least
favorably situated in Wisconsin can go

two or three hours of his time. There
is sentiment that everything is Re-
publican this year anyhow, and few
votes do not make any difference. The
more wide spread this sentiment, the
greater the danger. Over confidence
is the great danger this year. A Re-

Horse Thief Captured.

Henry Wilson, horse thief con-
fined in the Galena jail awaiting
trial, made an escape from that in
stitution Thursday night of last
week. Proceeding to Hazel Green
he confscated another horse belong
ing to Chas. Shelliam and also ap-
propriated conveyance and headed
north. He became mixed somewhat
in his journey, keeping on cross
roads and byways, and gotint Bee
town territory Friday evening. In
passing the house of VIM. Gates he
stopped long enough to steal two lap
robes and some other things and ar
rived at Bridgeport Saturday. At
ter crossing the bridge at that point
he learned his bearings and was
much put out by the information re-
ceived-so much so that his actions
aroused the curiosity and suspicion
of the bridge tender and caused him
to investigate a little. Telephoning
to Lancaster he learned that man
of Wilson's description was wanted
at Galena for Jail breaking and ac-
cordingly with aid of a constable
the horse thief was apprehended
and placed under arrest.
Sheriff Dickinson went to Bridge
port at once and returned with his
man. Monday he took the prisoner
to Montfort where the Galena sheriff
met him and took Charge of the
criminal.
