WORKED FOR TRAMPS.
Queer Disclosures Are Made
BY a Tomah Boy

Kenosha, Wis, Aug 1O-Remark-
able disclosures have been made to
the Kenosha police by Edward Cum
mings, a I5-year-oId boy who was
arrested yesterday for vagrancy.
Cummings, who had run away
from his home at Tomah two
months ago, was a servant to a
body of older tramps when he was
found, and although his father is a
well-to- do farmer the boy pleaded
with the police to be allowed to re-
main with the camp of hoboes.
Cummings had been with the tramps
for two or three weeks and they al
ready had great influence over
him, forcing him to do their bidding.
He stated to the police that one
of the tramps, known as BLACK
lin" with whom he had been trav-
cling, made a regular practice OF
securing boys from 10 to 18years OF
age to work for him. The elder
tramp it is alleged, acting as a
guardian of the boys, would farm
them out to farmers along his
route for the small wages of $40 a
month. Each month "Black Jim
would make the rounds of the far
mers and collect the money alleged
to be due from the work of the
boys.
1t was stated by Cummings that
the man whom he was serving now
had four boys working for him,
The only remuneration given to the
bows was few cents each pay day
and a promise to make real tramps
of them during the coming winter.
The police are making efforts t
lcaptute BLACK jim.

FIR EE FERRY.
Portage Solves Problem Re-
sulting From Loss OF Old
Bridge.

PORTAGE, WIS, Aug. 8 - At I
special meeting of the common
council tonight it was decided to
establish a free ferry across the
Wisconsin river until 4 new bridge
is built to replace that wrecked by
the storm Tuesday night. Former
County Judge M. W. Barden claims
to have franchise from the state
to operate ferry across the river
at this point, as the Caledonia side
of the landing touches his property,
and he desires compensation for it.
The operation of free ferry it is
thought will dispense with the argu-
ment. A large scow of the steamer
Maine has been procured by the
city and is being fitted as a ferry,
which will be placed in operation
tomorrow.
Reports from Caledonia and other
vicinities today indicate great
damage by hail and wind to the
growing crops. Water in the river
is rising rapidly. Tomorrow morning
the Dells steamer Apollo will bring
an excursion down from Kilbourn,
and this will be the first boat that
has been able to pass through down
the river to the business center of
the city since the construction of
the bridge. Business men of the
city met this afternoon and passed
resolutions urging the council to
immediate action on bridge matter.
All the sheds on the Bronson
avenue side of the fair grounds
were wrecked by the storm.

array.
Charles S. Ladd at Merrimack is
veteran of that struggle. He
enlisted at Springfield, Mass, in the
regular army which was being re-
-uited for the Mexican war. In
llg 1917, he became a member of
company B. Third Reg, Third ar
tlIery and sailed from Governor
island, New York, for Vera Cruz.
He marched with Gen. Scott from
Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico
and in all the centuries ofwar there
has never been such march. Hun

more terrible than battle. Almost

there Mr.. Ladd lost his right arm.
He then returned to Fortress Mon

Ever since 1849 the government
has rev Irded Mr.. Ladd's good ser
vice with a pension and he is no

BARS DOGS.
Misses Rida HodSon and Alice
Long Bury Pet in Their
DOOryard.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Aug. six
weeks ago the Misses Rida Hodson
and Alice Long, maiden ladies re-
siding on Linu street, secured a per-
nit from the board of directors to
bury pet dog in the family lot in
Oak Hill cemetery. A casket was
made for the dead pet and the
ceremonies attracted wide at
tention.
Since that time President William
Shorer of the Cemetery association
has been assailed with marked
copies of periodicals containing
scathing editorials and caustic re-
mar ks on the action of the James
vile board.
Yesterday another dog belonging
to the same women died. They
again applied for permit and were
informed by the board that no more
dead dogs or cats would be buried
in Oak Hill. They were much cha
grined but, ordering a special cas-
ket, inferred the dead pet in grave
dug in their dooryard and banked
the mound with flowers.

3 Arm BURN ED
And Cow Killed Which Arch
lie Cook Was Milking.
From Wednesdays Daily.l

During the thunderstorm last
evening at about 8 o'clock, light
ming struck Mrs. O. H. Cooks barn,
about two miles east of the city.
The bolt came down through the
entire length of the barn and killed
her cow which her son, Archie Cook
was milking at the time. Archie's
arm was paralyzed by the electric
fluid and he was prostrated upon
the floor of the barn. He gu ckly
recovered, however, and assisted in
removing machinery and other
stuff which had been set on fire.
The building and large quantity
of hay were consumed. The barn,
which was a very large one and
worth from 81, 500 to 1000, was the
second one to be DESTROYED by light
ming on that spot and refutes the
theory that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place. It was
partially insured in the Baraboo
Farmers Mutual Co. The prompt
assistance of neighbors prevented
the house from being burned with
the barn.

BRIDGE BLOWN OFF.
structure Across Wisconsin
at Portage is Wrecked.
tFroln Wednesdays Dai,y.1

On OF the most terrific wind and
electrical storms of the season
struck Portage last night doing
much damage to growing crops and
property. Trees were blown down
on different streets and lightning
struck several places.
During the storm the Wisconsin
river bridge about a mile west of
the business center of the city was
blown completely off it's piers and
carried down stream a distance of
about 300 yards, being completely
wrecked. This bridge was consider
ed the largest wagon bridge in the
state, being over $50 feet in length.
The bridge was built in 1857 at an
immense cost to the city. This
bridge was objected to by the Wis
c0nsln Dells company as blocking
navigation on the Wisconsin river
between Kilbourn and The Mississip-
pi. THERE'S but one bridge other than
this of the twenty-five between
Portage and Prairie du CHEN that
has not got draw, the second being
that at Prairie du CHEN, owned by
the G. B. &. @. railway. The des-
truction of the Portage bridge is
considerable loss to the city and
steps will have to be taken imm
diatelY for the building of a new
bridge. Meanwhile the traffic be-
tween Caledonia, Fairfield, Merri-
mack and Baraboo will have to be
suspended other than that which
can be carried on by ferry.
It will probably cost Portage
about $50, 900 to put a new bridge
across the Wisconsin river.

Qrom Thursdays Daily.)

tives and close friends gathered at
the home of Mrs. Henry Marriott

ness the marriage of her daughter,
Hattie, to Mr.. Elmer Johnston.

passed through an aisle of ribbons
sustained by the Nevers, a club of
young ladies of which the bride was
a member. They passed to the
