Fisherman Caught SEEMING.

Deputy Game Warden Peter Drafahl
and two assistants from Madison watch
ed the shores of Lake Koshkonong Tues
day night and their vigils were rewarded
in raiding a couple of law breakers
caught seining. They succeeded in ar
resting Tony Brown but his companion
got away. The boats which the fisher
man had were taken to the shore at
Bliven's and broken up, their seine was
carried away and as evidence of violation
of the game law and a barrel of fish
which they had taken from the lake con-
fscated. Brown was held to answer
the charge of illegal fishing in the mu-
nicipal court at Madison Wednesday and
given the limit of the law, $50 and costs,
in all $3.50, which was paid. The wardens
count their capture an important one as
they have long had Brown on their list
of men suspected of violating<the law

The Dutch Market.

The ladies of the Relief Corps gave a
unique entertainment at the G. A. r.
hall Wednesday evening in a Dutch
Market, where edibles were sold from
tastefully decorated booths. The man
ner in which the people secured their
supper caused much amusement. When
visitors entered the hall they were di-
rected by reception committee to the
first booth, where Mesdames Kelly and
White handed out plate, napkins, and
bread and butter to each one. At the
second booth they could buy from
Mesdames Dickerson and Gessart a va
riety of cold meats, sauerkraut and
salads. Then came baked beans, pickles
and cheese presided over by Mesdames
Crandall and Leedle. The pie, cake and
jelly department was in charge of Mes
danes Schmidt and Holton. Then came
the candy and ice cream booth by Mes
danes Wesendonk, Shackleton and
Pruyn, who watched over their charge
jealousy, the result of which proved a
great success. After all had purchased
such eatables as they desired they sat
down to the tables where they were
served with coffee which was very highly
spoken of as to it's quality. All those
who enjoyed this beverage should re-
member the brand, "The .Blanke Coffee"
and it can be purchased at the Boston
Store. The attendance was encourage
ing and handsome revenue realized
from the venture.

Instructions to County Assessors.

Thirty one assessors from the towns,
cities and villages of the county gather
ed at the county clerks office Thursday
pursuant to call issued by Supervisor
of Assessment W. j. Mcintyre for in
struction on the manner of assessing
property under the rules laid down by
the state tax commission. At the morn
ing session all the assessors of the county
were present except those from Clinton
and Clinton village. The morning ses-
sion was devoted largely to the discus
sion of the general rules.
At the afternoon session they were ad-
dressed by Senator Whitehead and Dis
trict Attorney Jackson and w. J. Nc
Intyre. Senator Whitehead in his re-
marks to the supervisors stated he would
not attempt to discuss the new law. The
statements issued by the state tax com.
mission are so full that they are easy to
understand. The assessors should con-
suit frequently with the district attor-
ney, supervisor of assessment or the tax
commissioner direct.
This would bring about more uni
form assessment. The equalization of
the county board of equalization is u.s.
ually more correct than that of the state
boards on account of politics being kept
out OF the county boards. In the state
board political influence often had a
great bearing on the matter of assess
ment.
At the close OF Senator Whitehead's
speech District Attorney jackson ad-
dressed the assessors on the legal bear
ing OF the different sections of the law.

WILL CONTEST SETTLED.
Heirs of G. n. Vedder Bring Suit in I
bate Court.


Heirs of G.. n. vedder Bring Suit in Pro-
bate Court.
A contest over the provisions of the will
of the late Cornelius n Vedder of Albion
was made in the probate court at Madi-
son on Wednesday last. But one wit
ness of the several neighbors in Albion
that were summoned to appear was
called when settlement in the contest
was reached. The witness was T. B.
Collins, who drew the instrument that
was being attacked, and the contestant
was l6-year-old boy, Lewis w. Clark,
the onl y lineal descendant of the estator
and who would have received the entire
estate of some $500 had the will been
broken. j. @. Virgins, the residuary
legatee, and the missionary society Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, one Of the
legatees, defended the will and were rep
resented N court by M. S. Dudgeon and
F. W. Hall respectively. The contest
ant, by his attorney, J. NJ. Clancy took
the position that the testator had been
in the insane asylum number of times
and that he made his will the day fol-
lowing his discharge from the mad
house, that he was incompetent at that
time to execute will and did not know
what he was doing. The man who made
the will testified that the testator was
not clear upon what would become of
much of the property in certain contin-
gencies and it seemed that the will was
indeed in shaky way. A recess was
taken upon the suggestion that settle
ment might be effected and the parties
got together and consented to a set of
stipulations that ended the contest.
Under the will the boy, Lewis w.
Clark, was to receive, when he came of
age, the sum of 81, 900 with the interest
thereon. According to the stipulations
mutually agreed upon he is to be paid at
once 1000 in cash in addition to his
legacy. The will in all other particulars
remains the same. The missionary So
ciety of the Methodist Episcopal church
gets 81 900, there are various other minor
charitable requests and the residuary
legatee, J. G. Virgins of Kansas, gets
the remainder.

1t will only be the reports of the gun
club down near the river shooting clay
pigeons. Last Tuesday evening sports
men of the city to the number of about
forty met at Mcintosh Bros office and
organized a gun club. The officers of
the organization are: P. nj. Ellingson,
president; VIM. Mcintosh, vice-presi-
dent; Carl Peters, secretary and treas
urer. The purpose of the organization
is to furnish recreation during the sum-
mer months and better the marksman-
ship of those who love to sport with the
gun. 1t is proposed to plat field on
the Peters land near Rock river where
stated Shoots" will be held, and where
parties of two or more may go any day
and participate in a shooting match. An
attendant will be there all summer long
to care for the paraphernaIia of the club
and wait on the shooters whenever they
desire to shoot. 1t is just the kind of
an organization that Edgerton has long
wanted, and now that it is here let all
help push it along.

Farm House RIlrnad

The farm house of Gov. D. Wixom, To-
Gated three miles west of Milton juno
ton, took fire and was totally destroyed
between three and four o'clock Saturday
morning. The nurse who was attending
Mrs Wixom, who was quite i'll, started
fire in the kitchen stove and half hour
later fire was discovered in the chamber
above, having caught it was thought
from the chimney. The flames were we'll
under way when first seen and Mrs.
Wixom was carried from the house in
her bed to the barn and the children
rescued, one of whom was but few days
old. By this time the house was envel-
oped in flames and very little of the con-
tents in furniture or clothing could be
saved. Mr.. Wixom reached his bed
room and threw out of the window some
of his clothing, saving his pants that
contained about 5000 of money. The
hired girl lost her entire outfit of cloth
ing and sum of money, and not par
ticle of the clothing belonging to the
children was saved. Mr.. Wixom worked
for nearly an hour in his night shirt.
Mrs. Wixom was removed later to the
home of neighbor and it is believed
she suffered no i'll effects from the ex-
element and exposure. The loss will
reach nearly $4,000 on which Mr. Wixom
carried an insurance of $500 on the con-
tents.

Mad Dog Does Damage.

Farmers residing in the towns of
Center and Magnolia in this county are
expecting an outbreak of hydrophobia
among their dogs, cattle and sheep, on
account of a trip through these towns of
dog suffering with rabies. He went
about ten miles before he was finally
killed. The farmers have taken vigorous
methods to suppress the disease and
have killed fourteen dogs that were
known to have been bitten. There is
more hydrophobia this spring among
cattle, horses and sheep than has been
known in years.
