Star Lake Citizens After the
Services of Jas. OberhoItzer.

Jas. Oberholtzer, who has served
the past year as State Deputy Game
and Fish Warden, has proved himself
to be the best deputy which the state
has in it's employee. He is very
conservative and hard worker, and is
ever on the alert for violaters of the
law, mauy of whom have been before
Justices of the Peace and paid their
fines for their illegal sport. At pres
ent Mr.. Oberholtzer's territory does
not include the Star Lake district, but
the citizens of that place are con-
vinced of the good work being done
by Warden Oberholtzer, and desires
that he be placed over that territory
also, and to that end have circulated
a petition, which has been signed by
large number of residents, which is
to be sent to State Game Warden Ov-
erbeck, at Madison. The petition reads
as follows:
To the Hon. Overlook,
State Game Warden,
Madison, Wis.
We the undersigned residents of
Star Lake, Villas County, Wisconsin,
realizing the value to the inhabitants
of this vicinity, and to the people of
the State at large, of the fish and
game now abundant in this locality,
I'd desiring stringent enforcement
of the game laws, with view to the
preservation of the fish and game, do
hereby petition and request that the
territory now in the jurisdiction of
Deputy State Game Warden, James
Ooerholtzer of Eagle River, be ex-
tended SO as to include the territory
in the vicinity of Star Lake.

Vests minstrels will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight
 In reviewing the company marching under the banner of the late Billy" West the Cincinnati Post said;
 Vests minstrels, who have a reputa- tion to sustain. instead of one to make in Cincinnati, were on deck at the Wal nut. If minstrelsy seems to be less pow erful than of old, the fault lies with au- ditors who have become attracted by other forms of amusement, rather than with the performers. Two capacity au- dlences, which howled with delight. proved that the black-faced fun-makers are still in demand. Aside from the semicircular pow-wow there was an olio of merit, in which Frank H. McMahon and John King illustrated "I Must Have Been Dreaming amid bursts of laugh

 Formed an Opinion.


 "Did you form any opinion as to who committed this murder?" asked District Attorney Coatsworth.
 Yes sir
 ''When?"
 .Right after leaving the house that day"
 'Is 1t an opinion based on information or upon supposition?
 Upon both'
 You have some information?" ''Yes sir"
 Are you sufficiently satisfied that your opinion is correct to state whom you think the murderer was?"
 T think so.'
 Well, who was her"
 Arthur R. Pennell, or some hired as- sissin."
 What makes you think Pennell killed him?"
 All circumstances lead me to that con- clusion. I am satisfied that the murder grew out of the divorce proceedings" DO you know whether Pennell was in Burkcks house that night?"
 "I do not
 "Do you know whether he had key to Burdicks house?"
 No"
 "Did you every publicly accuse Pen- nell until after he died?"
 T do not know when I first expressed that opinion.'
 Do you know of any reason why the members of the Burdick family should want the case reported as suicide?" No sir"
 Have you any reason why for believ- ing that anybody in the house had any reason for seeking to shield the murder er?" asked Justice Murphy.
 "No'sir."
 Have you any reason for believing that anybody in the house not in collision with the murderer should want to prevent the police from getting information?" ''No sir"
 The inquiry was adjourned until tomor- row afternoon.

PRIVATE MAIL BOXES.
Useful Device for Private Houses.
 Signal Mail Box Company.

Some of the residents of Birmingham are purchasing private mail boxes which are being shown by representative of the Signal Mail Box company of Joliet. III.
 The box Is very unique device and is in every way equal to the aluminium cov- cred boxes used by Uncle Sam. except that 1t is smaller and better suited for residence purposes.
 Each box has lock and is fitted with a wire rack underneath for holding pa pers and parcels. When the postman puts a letter in it little red flag on top of the box raises itself to show that the box contains mail, and when the letters are taken out the flag drops down again.
 It is neat in appearance. being covered with aluminium. and is very substantial ly made of cast iron.
 It promises to become very popular.

Said the Gossip Was True.
 On the last occasion Burdick talked about his wife. He said that the gossip that had been going on about his wife was true, and that he had the necessary evidence to secure divorce. He did not exactly say that he had sent her away. but that was what was gathered by the witness
 BurdIck told Mrs. Payne that he felt very badly about Pennell, his friend com ing into his family that way. He said he had had a talk with Pennell and that Pennell had agreed to leave the city Once before Pennell had promised to leave home, but had not done so.
 Mir. Burdick never asked the witness to fix up an appointment with Pennell Mrs. Payne said she met Burdick down town several times by appointment, but did not remember what they talked about or why the appointments were made.
 When was the last time you had conversation with him over the tele- phone?"
 ''On the day of his death"
 ''What did you say to him?'
  and did not know whether she was going to attend the Elmwood dance or not. He said that if the Pennels were not going to be there he might go. He wanted 10 know If I was going. told him had a cold and would not go The night pre- viously he had called me up and asked me if I could find out whether the Pen nells wore in the city and let him know the following morning. That is why l telephoned him the next morning"
 Burdick Called Several Times.
 Burdick had called on her several times while Mrs Warren of Cleveland was there and had taken them to the theatre and she thought. to the dancing club. ts''While he was talking to you at Main and Summer streets, did he tell you that Mrs. Warren was getting divorce from her husband?'
 Yes sir
 "Burdick thought good deal of Mrs. Warren, did not he?''
 'Yes he admired her very much"
 Did he say there was any arrange ments by which he and Mrs. Warren were to be married when she got a divorce?''
 ''No sir"
 Mrs. Payne said she was at home on the night of the murder. Her boarder, Miss Cunningham had a visitor who re- mained until quite late. She read until 9:3O o'clock and then went to bed.
 She did not see Miss Cunningham or her friend again that night. She had no company that night and did not leave the house. A.
 ',Did you have any telephonic commu- nication with MT. Burdick that night?"
 NO sir.
 ''The night he was murdered?'
 ''No sir. I received a message by tele- phone from pr. Phelin."
 ''Is Miss Cunningham here now?" l"No, l understand she is out of the city"
 Do you know where she isg
 T do not know"
 Witness was at Pencils house about
