Senator Wilcox of Appleton Favors Nov
ing It Either to Milwaukee

Appleton, Wis, Feb. 81 Special. i
Senator T. NJ. Wilcox is in favor of
moving the capitol from Madison to
either Milwaukee or Oshkosh. Ee said
that it is not the Milwaukee and Osh-
kosh representatives that are doing all
the, talking. Regarding the subject he
said:
L earnestly believe that if an organ
lied effort was made to have the capitol
taken from Madison it would be accom-
pllshed. There has just enough hap
pened during the past two weeks to con-
vince many legislators that Madison. is
one of the most inconvenient places in
the entire state in which to have the
capitol. The railway accommodations
are wretched, to say nothing of the no.
tells. If it is proven that but little of
the old building can be used for the new,
l believe a change will be made.o

and pushed him out of the door. Later
he found Wren lying in the road. He
said that he supposed that his skull had
been fractured by a fall on the frozen
ground

The confession of Schumacher is
backed up by confessions made by
Douglas Barhyte, A. K. Bolton, David
Rooney and Charles Wannamaker. Boil
ton, in his confession, also duplicates
John George, the barkeeper in the sa-
loon, and claims that he aided Schu-
macher in throwing Wren out. All of
the men are under arrest with the eX-
ception of George.
Schumachers son is dying, and for this
reason two deputies were appointed to
take the prisoner to the bedside of the
