In Honor of the Soldiers OF Wood
County Who Fought in the
Civil War.
WILL BE PLACED NEAR
COURT HOUSE In CITY
Monument to Cost About $1,000
will Be One of the Finest
in This Section.

The question OF erecting nonu-
ment in honor of the soldiers from
Wood county, VINO fought in the civil
war, will be decided by the people at
the next November election.
The committee composed Of E. p.
ArDin, j. e. Ingraham and Jacob
Sprecht, who had the matter in hand,
recommended to the county board
that monument, at a cost not exceed
ing $4,000, be erected on the court
house square. A member from the
northern part Of the county amended
the committees report making it
read that two monuments should be
erected, at a cost not exceeding $4,000
each, one at Marshfield and the other
at Grand Rapids.
1t was found by reading the statutes
that no county could erect more than
one monument at a cost not exceeding
$4,000. Thus the double monument
question was disposed of.
w. d. Connor, therefore, amended
the committees recommendation
striking out the word "Grand Rapids"
and inserting "Marshfeld.
d. d. Conway thought that Mr..
Connor must be in one of his joking
moods. 81 believe that the only
proper place for soldiers monument
should be at the county seat. The
voters want the county's property at
the county seat"

there should be any session of the
county board. We are only wasting

LETTER OF DEAD MAN
is READ in COURT
Showing Alleged Moroseness on
Par, of MISUNDERSTANDING
Experts Testified.

Composed, and even smiling At
times, Mrs. Jennie Harroun sat in the
witness stand Friday and was the
central figure in the trial in which
she is charged with the murder OF her
husband. The courtroom was crowded
throughout the day as the accused
woman told the story Of the death Of
Walter Harroun.
The testimony Of Mrs. Harroun was
devoid of sensational incidents, though
three letters which she introduced as
testimony created intense interest
among the spectators. The letters
were exchanged between herself and
her husband and referred to the do
mestic difficulties that had arisen
between them.
The first of the letters was written
February "a by Walter Harroun, In
which the writer stated that he
thought his wife did not intend living
with him longer and declaring that
he would prefer to remain separated
| il there were to be domestic quarrels.
He stated also that there was much
| talk in the neighborhood about his
wife, whose name was linked with
| that of DR.. David Murray.
Asked Husband to Return.
| The reply of Mrs. Harroun to this
letter was dated March s. She wrote
to her husband that she was sorry to
learn that he was more fond of the
company OF bis neighbors than of bis
wife and regretted that he blamed DR..
Murray. The letters concluded by
Informing Walter Harroun that his
children were both well and asking
him when he would return to his wife
She wrote:
"Walter, did you ever think that
you were faultleSS? You have faults
as we'll as me- Dr. Murray never

You can never turn your wife out

| Under date of March 10, Walter
Harroun wrote his wife upbraidint
her for allowing Dr.. Murray to sit OIL
the edge of her bed and hold he

After these letters had been reai
and perused by the jury Mrs. Harroul

Petition to Form a New Town Of Detached Territory
the City of Marshfefd Lost by
Vote OF rs to Is.
SECTIONS STILL BELONG TO
THE CITY OF MARSHFIELD
Opinion OF District Attorney Brazeau That the Majority
Electors Did Not Vote in Favor of
Detachine the Territory.

d. D. Conway took issue with Mr.
Connor, saying that the forming of a
new town, contrary to the statutes,
would invite legal strife and event
ually cost the county a great deal OF
money.
w. D. Connor: ''I do not believe
that the great majority Of the citizens
of Marshfield right down in their
hearts desired the sections to go, but
they were accommodating the people
of the sections who were continually
lamenting the high taxes paid to the
city. II we now take the nine sections
back again they will think we have
been trifling with them"
The roll call showed Ii in favor Of
organizing the sections into new
town and z6 against the proposition.
Or. Hayward:-"I still maintain that
l do not know where the nine sections
are at. They certainly seem to be up
in the air.
D. D. Conway: IT refer you to
Attorney Brazeau's opinion. 1t is
clear. 1t states that the sections
belong to the city OF Marsh field"
DR.. Hayward: "No, there is an
alternative. / don't understand.
Supervisor of Assessments Cochran
advised the representatives from the
city of Marshfield, for the protection
Of the city OF Marshfield, to see to it
that the nine detached sections were
assessed this year, now that it had
been shown that they still belonged
to the city OF Marshfield.
W. D. Connor: II am certainly
surprised. l never thought Ghe time
would ever come when it could be
said that the city of Marshfield had
piece Of territory that was unassessed."
Attorney Cochran: 81 suppose you
mean to insinuate that l have been
putting the property in the city of
Marshield too high?"
W. D. Counor: "Take It just as you
wish. / am making no accusations. "

Thursday afternoon Chairman Eich.
steadt of the committee on town
organizations brought In the report
to the county board that the nine
detached sections of the city of Marsh
field be annexed to the town of Marsh.
field. ". D. Connor moved that the
committee be instructed to draw up
an ordinance forming the nine sections
into a new town to be called Cameron.
In accordance with this motion the
committee brought in the resolution
Friday afternoon.
Attorney Goggins, in behalf of
District Attorney Brazeau, stated
that he did not believe that the new
town could be legally formed as 1t had
not been properly detached from the
city Of Narshfield. He said that
it would take the majority of the
electors resident In the city to decide
the question. At the election In
question there were 251 votes cast for
the municipal judge, It's for detaching
the nine sections and 73 against de-
tachment. II the Interpretation Of
the law on this question was not
correct, then the nine sections be-
longed to the town of Marshfield to
which they belonged originally.
Neal Browns opinion was cited.
He said, IN substance, that he thought
that the majority Of the voters act
ually cast in Marshfield had decided
in favor OF detachment and that tie
nine sections now belonged to the
town Of Marshfeld. He agreed with
Mr.. Brazeau that il the sections did
not belong to the town of Marshfleld
they belonged to the city OF
Marshfield.
w. D. Connor said: II am in favor
OF giving these nine sections a town
organization. So long as there is no
one present, interested In these
sections, who objects and as long as
the people OF both the city and town
of Marshf1eld and the nine sections
favor it, We ought to do their wish. !"

assessments. You have the figures.
do not intend to stretch nv con-
science for any one."
Assemblyman Cady when seen by a
representative of the REPORTER said
that he had been asked to introduce
in the last legislature bill legalizing
the division of the city Of Marshfeld,
but that he had been advised by the
attorney general that such a division
could not be legally made until the
charter had been amended in sHch
manner as TO permit it.

1t is the opinion of the district
attorney,
L. That the south west quarter
OF township 25, north, of range 3
east, comprising nine sections of
land is yet q part of the territory
OF the city Of Marshfield, for one
reason among others, that a ma jor-
ity Of the electors resident In said
city Of Marshfieid did not at the
election held in said city April I,
1908, vote In favor Of the PROPOSE
tion to detach said territory from
said city.
2. That II 1t be conceded that
said territory by said vote was so
detached, then the same by virtue
of such detachment became a part
OF and now is part OF the town of
