Officers Investigating the case went
to Green Bay yesterday and secured
statements from two persons that are
said to be damaging to the man behind
the bars. One charge implied that a
forgery to gain possession of the $780,
600 farm owned by McCarty was pro
posed. A search is being made for Nc

Possibilities in the Berry Line.
To the uninitiated it will probably
seem incredible that the various berries
grown in the southern states with more
or less success, flourish luxuriously in
northern Wisconsin.
Strawberries, raspberries, blackber;,
ries, ycurrants, gooseberries, cherries and
plums grow wild everywhere, and
wherever these fruits are cultivated i'm

tanned. Several varieties Of apples

crop has disappeared from the markets
of all southern and eastern cities There
is nothing to hinder the growing Of
strawberries for the markets Of Mil
waukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit or
even New York, Boston, st. Louis or
New Orleans. Immense fortunes can
be made by persons who understand the
cultivating and marketing of these
small fruits, for nowhere are finer ber-
ries or surer crops grown.
And so it is seen that the same crops
that produce the money in the south
and on the prairies of the west are not
at all necessary in northern Wisconsin,
and northern Wisconsin produces as
much or more, money for its settlers as
any other farming community in the

The fence that incloses the Angoras

the goats will not push thru or climb

the profit from these animals justifes
this expense. Their meat finds a ready

Wisconsin may be wrong and may not.
I notice in the majority Of literature,
and in almost every conversation have
had with northern Wisconsin immigra-
tion hustlers, that great deal of time
and space are devoted to talks con-
corning the profits to be made. by the
settler on the increase Of value in lands
for clearing and cultivation. 1t doesn It
seem to me that it is any longer mI neees-
ence of every old-settled community
proves that beyond the shadow of a
doubt. There are few points which it
is essential to place before the man
cultivating farm that is worth from
from $1O0 to $175 an acre, in such
manner as to overcome the impression
he has received from years Of reading.

all off preparatory to raising small
grains. Today he doesn It do that. The
timber on his land, which is valuable
for piling, telegraph poles, railroad ties
and cordwood, is cut for these pur-
poses, and each one of the above com
modities commands good price in
the market. When the heavier tim

Recent Stabbing Affair at Ford
Results Fatally.
JACOB JONES THE VICTIM
Henry Matkins Arrested and
Will Be Tried For Murder
Of Jones.

Jake Jones, young man of about "a
years, Of Ford township, died the latter
part of last week from wound received
in cutting scrape which took place a
week before. Henry Watkins, who has
been running butcher shop at Ford,
was arrested last Thursday and will be
tried on a charge of murder. The affair
Is most deplorable one and seems to
have come about through Matkins being
under the influence Of whisky at the time
It happened. Although the exact par
ticuars of the stabbng of young Jones
have not been learned here it Is under
stood that there was no i'll feeling be.
tween the two prior to the killing. The
report heard here Is that those two and
Others were playing cards at Matkin's
shop. Intoxication and trivial quarrel
resulted In Jones being stabbed. 1t was
heard here few days later that Jones
would get well, but it appears that blood
poisoning or some complication finished
the work the stabbing started.
Watkins is a middle aged man and sin.
gle. lie went to another part Of the
county after the trouble at Ford return
ing to Ford few days later, at which
time he was arrested. 1t has been stated
here that he did not know after the spree
was over that be had stabbed Jones.
A preliminary trial will be held some
time next week.

necessary to better the condition in
county affairs? There is no question
but that the county is sadly in need
of a new courthouse. The only ques-
ton is whether or not they want to
spend $4,000 or 100000. The re-
Quirements demand an $50, 900 court
house. and now do the people want
to vote to sustain the requirements?
The commissioners really want the
approval Of the people for a court
house which they have already Sc
lected the plans for. II the people
do not vote for an $4,000 court
huose, the probabilities are that the
commissioners will build court
house at a less cost, which would al
ways prove satisfactory. A new court
house is essential, and the commits
sioners realize it. They want the
backing, however, of their constit-
uents.
