was beauty, and 1t seemed impossible
to realize that he was really wild as he
lay on one side, looking at me with his
head raised as a dog does when he

fat as butter, sleek coated and glossy.
"My pony, as the breeze was coming
from the other direction, did not wind
him and went steadily on without SO

was walking on in front. about ten
yards, and luckily did not notice him.

lowed along the road behind me, but
after going about 100 yards, he turned

to keep live fish indefinitely in cases lined

The fish are kept in a little water. int

MUaDERER's PLOT FoILED.
Desperate Attempt to Break Jail
Made by WenzeI Il. kabat.

1t has been found out that Wenzel e.
Kabat, convicted of the murder of Mi
chael Mccarthy, a Kaukauna farmer
made a desperate attempt to escape from
the Winnebago county Jail while being
held pending his trial. Since then he has
been lodged in the State prison at Wan
pun for life. Several days before he was
taken to Appleton for trial he cut two
of the steel bars from section of his
cage, making a hole large enough to get
through the corridor. Then he tried to
saw through the bars in the window of
the corridor, but was unsuccessful. He
planned to hit the jailer over the head
when he came with his food. Sheriff
Simpson and Deputy Sheriff Saru brought
in the supper instead and he was afraid
to tackle both men.
