The election in the Second district,
to fill the vacancy in Congress occa.
stoned by the resignation Of Judge
Dayton, takes place tomorrow. We
hope that all is well with the Repub.
lican nominee, Mr.. James S. Lakin,
and we feel that success awaits him.
There ought to be no doubt of his
election on the part of anyone in view
of the fact that there Is a normal Re-
publican majority in his district OF at
least 1000. However, we have real.
lied all along that Mr.. Lakin has had
a heavy load to carry. I'VE shuddered
when we heard that he was being sup
ported by Sam Montgomery and Bill
conley. If their support be sincere,
which we very much doubt, 1t will de-
tract from, rather than, add to. the
strength of the Republican candidate.
Especially will this be the case
throughout the Fourteenth Senatorial
district, consisting Of the counties Of
Preston, Tucker, Grant, Hardy and
Mineral, in all Of which Montgomery
and conley are extremely distasteful
to the good people who know in what
a shameless manner Sam was nomi
mated for the State Senate, as IT was
through the Vaccinations Of Rar
Stalnaker, chief lobbyist for the B.
TO-, Conley, its attorney for Preston
county, assisting. 1t should not o
course, but the fact that Mr.. Lakir
has the apparent support Of the fel
lows named will undoubtedly be hurt
full to his cause, but We trust that h,
may be strong enough to overcom,
such serious handicaps. We under
stand the feeling in both Mineral an,
Tucker counties against Stalnakel
Montgomery and Conley is intense.

THIEF CAUGHT,
Broke Into TWO Homes North
of The City
(From Fridays Daily.J

Two homes north of Baraboo
broken into and the capture of the
burglar was. yesterdays record in
the criminal line. During the fore
noon Franklin Johnson's house was
entered while the family was away
and while he was at work in the
orchard at the rear of the house.
Twenty dollars in money, a solid
gold watch valued at $50, and some
articles of lesser value were taken
When Mr.. Johnson discovered the
loss he at once notified the officers.
A little later Barton Battles, who
lives north Of Mr.. Johnson, heard
his dog bark and went to his house
Just IN time to see a young man
coming out of it. He gave chase
and not being able to catch the
fellow set the dog after him. The
dog grabbed him by the leg and
Battles soon had him. He took
him to the house and while asking
questions the fellow made another
sprint and got away. Battles also
notified Sheriff Hill who concluded
that the thief's course was to the
northeast. He tracked him to the
big marsh where he discovered his
trail in ditch and further in the
tall grass where he had crawled
along to escape being seen. He
finally overlook his prey and took
him into custody. The burglar
proved to be Herman Brown of
Baraboo, a young man of about
twenty-one years of age. In his
pockets were the valuables stolen
from Franklin Johnson's house and
he confessed to having stolen a gold
ring from Battles house, which he
said he had thrown away when the
dog grabbed him. He was brought
to Baraboo and was placed in jail.
Brown has been in and out of
Baraboo considerable, of late, and
the officers have been suspicious of
him and have watched his move
ments. He has been suspected of
several small robberies that have
occurred in the city.
Brown confessed his guilt to the
district attorney today, and pro-
ably will appear before Judge
Stevens and receive his sentence
without trial.
