ANOTHER STORE

Walker Bros. Robbed of $500
Worth of Clothing.

the Track.

Walker Brothers clothing store was

ing and large quantity of clothing
taken.
Mr.. Walker, however, did not know
that he had been robbed until yester-
day at noon when Mr.. Nelson, the
clerk, asked him about certain over
coat and some vests. An investiga-
tion as at once started when the fol-
lowing list of goods were missing:
12 overcoats, dark oolors, sizes
38 to AZ; | coat aud vest, double
breasted, brown melton; coat and
vest, square cut, blue ground, white
stripe, worsted; suit round cut,

coat and vest. round cut, black
worsted; 2 suits black clay worsted,
round cut; 1 coat and vest and suit
black cheviot round cut; coat and
vest double breasted, brown.
They at once notified the police,
who made personal examination of
the store and came to the conclusion
that the burglars entered the front
door by skeleton keys. secured the
goods and left locking the door after
them. This morning the officers
learned that several suits of clothes
had been disposed of at Brookside.
Officer Bugbee and Mr. Frank Nelson
went to Brookside this afternoon aud
located some of the clothing which
consisted both of suits and overcoats.
Mr.. Walker can not tell Just how
much was taken until he takes an in
ventory of his stock but thinks the
loss will be close to 800.
The officers believe that regular
organized gang of crooks are doing
the robbing and that these people are
the same ones who enrered the Had
ley Nero. Co. store a few days since.
The burglats take suit here, a
vest there and an overcoat some other
place so that it is hard in large
stock to miss few hundred dollars
worth of goods.
The officers will undoubtedly catch
the suilty ones.

Sold Mortgaged Tobacco Crop.

The city police and Andrew Jensen of
Edgerton would be pleased to know the
whereabo of a man named E. Burk9
lund, who has been working August
Baumann's place on Mineral Point ave-
nue. and isappeared from this city last
Sunday.
Nothing particular was thought of his
disappearance at first as he has gone
away in the same manner several times
before and left his family to search for
him. This time, however, it seems he
had motive to get out of town as soon
as possible and leave no trace of his
whereabouts. 1t appears that during
the past summer Burklund has been en-
gagged in raising tobacco on Mr.. Bau-
mann's farm, and had given mortgage
of S40O on the crop to secure him for
money advanced during the time he was
raising it. Some time ago he sold the
crop to Andrew Jensen, of Edgerton. He
told Mr.. Jensen the crop was free from
all encumbrances and delivered it at Ed
gerton on Thursday and was given a
check by. Jensen for S561, which he
brought to GAINESVILLE and had cashed at
the Rock County National bank Fri
day morning he left home and since that
time no trace of him has been found.
His wife complained to the police
about his absence and told about his
selling the tobacco. When Mr.. Bau-
mann heard that Jensen had paid Burk-
lund for the tobacco he at once notified
him that he had a mortgage of S4O0 on
the crop and should look to him for
his pay.
Jensen came to GAINESVILLE yesterday to
investigate the matter and found that
Mr. Baumann's mortgage was on file and
had not been paid. AS the matter now
stands he will either have to pay the
S40O to Mr.. Bauman or give up the to-
bacco. Mr.. Jensen has the police force
at work on his case and if Burklund is
located he will be brought back for trial
for selling mortgaged property. He has
been mixed up in two Or three scrapes
before, but each time has succeeded in
settling matters and escaping prosecu-
ton. If he is caught for this deal he is
likely to be severely dealt with. 4 Ga

Business Men Organize.

An impromptu gathering Of more than
forty of the business men of Edgerton
was held at the Carlton hotel Monday
evening to consider the proposition of
organizing Business Mems Association.
The meeting was organized by selecting
w. S. Heddles chairman and G. Ell. Bah
cock secretary. A general exchange OF
opinion regarding the necessity of an as
ISOLATION to advance the material inter
ests of our city was had and an express
sion taken, when it was unanimously de.
cided to form permanent organization
to be known as the Edgerton Advance
ment Association to advance the bust
ness interests of Edgerton. A commit
tee consisting of Mayor Doty, Henry
johnson, L. G. Whittet, G. FL. Babcock
and P. M. Ellingson was appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws, to be
submitted to a meeting to be held on
Wednesday evening March 18th, for
adoption. It is to be hoped that every
business man in the city will be present
at that date.
This paper has on several occasions
urged the promotion of such an associa-
ton as is outlined in the movement now
begun. A united action of the men who
believe in the promotion of their city
can certainly accomplish good results,
and we are glad to see the interest al
ready awakened on the subject for it is
an encouraging sign.

A big musical treat for the people of
Edgerton has been secured for March
21st. Pres. William G. Daland, of Milton
College. man recognized as one of the
ablest speakers of the state, will give his
lecture on the History of Music" Edg-
erton has not had an opportunity in
years of listening to man with such a
rare com bination Of literary and must
Cal abilities. His genius as a musician
has been acknowledged ever since he was
boy of thirteen, playing a pipe organ
in New York City, and his charm as a
public speaker will in itself draw full
house.
DR.. Daland will describe and explain
the music of ancient and primitive ma
tions and then the music Of the Greeks,
which was the basis of the early music
of the Christian church. Then he will
show the origin of the modern system of
music and of the ancient music modified
by the music of the troubadours Of the
middle age. He will then give an &C
count of modern music to the present
time. The lecture from the beginning
will be illustrated by numerous examples.
The lecture has been delivered to in
terested and appreciative audiences in
the eastern states and in London, Eng
land, and will give an opportunity to
learn the origin and development of this
wonderful art-one that none of our
music loving citizens can afford to miss.
Those who have had the pleasure of
hearing the lecture will require no per-
suasion to attend. They will all be
present. To those who have not heard
him, we can say that they will make a
great mistake if they do not go to Royal
hall on the evening of the q.

Mr.. Alfred Kelcy's great comedy, of

of Americas most talented actresses,
who starred in the production with i'm

augurates the appearance of the talented
Kennedy children, Iris and Helen, two
of the brightest juvenile artists the
American stage has ever welcomed. The
veteran journalist and oldest correspon-
dent Of the New York Mirror, William

lies in detachable cover that can be re-
moved quickly without the drawing of
nails, and at the same time preserves
the strength of the case. The new case
can be offered at only slight advance
over the ordinary box, and this can be
saved in labor at sampling. A few sam
pies will be introduced this season and
the case given a test of it's advantages

LEAGUE CONTEST AT MILTON.
Edgerton Awarded Second Place.

Tuesday evening about sixty high
school pupils together with the high
school teachers and number of town
people attended the annual declamatory
contest of the Rock River Valley League
which was held at Milton. While the
decision was not what the Edgertonians
had hoped for, their representatives ac-
quilted themselves in a manner to re-
fleet great credit to themselves and
honor to the school they represented.
Miss Lewise Pomeroy took second place
and will receive prize of five dollars
and be one of the representatives of the
League at the district contest to be held
later at Whitewater. The first place
was won by Miss Hattie Paxton of Mil
ton junction and that school also won
the banner.
While there was some dissatisfaction
among the Edgertonians over the decis-
ION, there was much greater indignation
at the general treatment received. The
contest clearly demonstrated the inabil-
lty of Milton to properly handle meet
ing of this kind. In the first place the
seating capacity of the hall was totally
inadequate. To make matters worse
there was evident lack of arrangement
and experience in handling crowd.
While the confusion arising from such a
state of affairs may make excusable mis-
takes on the part of those in charge, it
cannot excuse the rank discourtesy and
positive rudeness with which some of
our teachers and citizens were treated.
