Lodi Merchant Goes to the
House of Correc ton.
(From Wednesdays Daily.o

Peter J. Walch, formerly of Lodi,
pleaded guilty in the United States
court at Madison yesterday to an
indictment charging him with per-
jury. He was sentenced to the
house of correction in Milwaukee
for six months, the sentence to be-
gin today.
Walch, 1t will be remembered,
several months ago was a merchant
in Lodi. He repor ted to the Madi-
son police department that during
his absence in the country his store
had been entered by robbers, the
door of his office safe sawed off and
the sum of $1,000 in cash taken
therefrom. Just prior to the time
Walch discharged from his employ,
at the instance of his wife, a young
woman named May Heller, whom
he afterward met in Madison and to
whe m he was seen to give money.
It was found on investigation
that the door OF. the safe had been
sawed off while the safe was open,
that Walch was a bankrupt, that
he concealed 81, ,0OC worth of goods
in a shanty in the eastern outskirts
of Madison, that he had sent 81, 900
worth of merchandise to man in
Ohio, that his liabilities amounted
to approximately SIS, 600, that at the
bankruptcy proceedings he had
made false oath as to his property,
that he had an accomplice in the
attempt to defraud creditors and
that the accomplice, and later
Walch himself, made a substantial
confession of all these facts.
When arraigned on the charge of
perjury, Walch pleaded not guilty
and in default of bail was committed
to Jail to await trial. Yesterday
he appeared by his attorney, J. M.
Clancey of Stoughton, asked for
leave to change his plea, and on
being granted the same pleaded
guilty and WIS sentenced.

WORK OF DAsTARDs.
Break Monuments i'm West.
ern Part of Sauk County.
(Reedsburg Free Press,)

Ever since the cemetery at Lime
Ridge was entered and a number Of
the monuments either broken OF
desecrated, the people of that vicin.
ity have been justly indignant nor
is that all, parties who have moved
away but left dear relatives or
friends buried in that cemetery
were aroused as seldom before at
such a dastardly act. The damage
seemed not to be directed against
any particular one but apparently
a desire to destroy and desecrate as
# the fend were angry at all man
kind.
The Indignation of the people did
not stop with their words but a
fund was raised and a secret ser
vice detective was ordered from
Chicago and he spent nearly a week
in the vicinity of Lime Ridge col
lecting such evidence as he could
find to be used when the proper
time should arrive.
1t is very likely that the aggres-
siveness of the people in resenting
the outrage is such that no other
attempt will be made by the GENE
terry fends but this does not signify
that the matter has been dropped
for the work of ferreting out the
rascals is in the hands of men who
are well known for their tenacity of
purpose and who are not easily di-
verted from their path of duty.

A Sauk county doctor tells the
following story which is a good one:
A patient called at his Office, stated
his ills, and the doctor wrote a
prescription and handed it to him.
The patient inquired the probable
cost of getting it filled and was told
about 60 cents would pay the bill.
The patient then asked the doctor
for the loan of that amount and
the doctor, scratching his head,
drew a line thru several parts of
the prescription and then handed it
to the patient, saying, NOW you
can get it filled for dime. Those
l scratched out were for your ner-
yes; but I see you do not need any
thing for them"

Withlthe exception of the panic
period beginning in 1898, this is
the most wholesale reduction of rail.
road working forces known at any
one time. The main cause of this
sweeping wave of railroad economy
is the rapid falling off in freight
shipments within the last six weeks.
