BADGER HELPED TO
CATCH JEFF DAVIS
Wright of La Crosse Was the
Youngest Member of Squad
Which Took Rebel. =

La Crosse, Wis. April 14.-George A.
Wright, clerk of the circuit court OF
La Crosse county, a member of Conn
pany B, First Wisconsin Cavalry during
the Civil war, refutes the claim of a
Kokomo, Indiana, writer that David
Jones of that city, who died recently,
was the last of the squad who assisted
in the capture of Jefferson Davis.
81 thought you were member Of
the squad that captured jeff Davis,
was asked of Clerk Wright few days
ago.
""Well I was and live one, too,"<
he replied. "There WASH It an Indiana
man in the squad. 1t was the FIRST
Wisconsin cavalry which captured the
rebel president at Irwinsville, Ga, May
5, 1865, and | am proud to say that I
was there and probably the youngest
man in the army at the time.
"What was done with jefferson
Davis?
After he was. brought to Macon,
he was sent under guard by way of
Savannah to Old Point, Va, where he
was kept prisoner for several months,
Governor Upham of Wisconsin, the
lieutenant in the United States q Nv,
being one of the officers to guard him.
Davis was finally released on bail,
Horace Greeley and others going on his
bond.
How was Davis dressed?'
'He wore common slouched hat,
nice, fine boots, coat and pants of light
blue English broadeloth; taking all
circumstances into consideration, he was
neatly dressed.' (
Mr.. Wright confirms the report given
of the affair by Lieutenant-Colo
Harden, who wrote book of war in
cidents and stories. -'-.- .=
The hoopskirt story started from q
remark made by a soldier to the effect
| that. when JEFF Davis came out of his
tent his wife's shawl was over his
| shoulders. f So 70 1---- ~.
This remark was telegraphed north,
and was added to from time to time so

Marquette, Mich, April 13.-Former
Mayor Walter T. Wards contest to re-
gain the chief magistracy, Of the city
will receive an airing in the state su
pTeme court at Lansing on Tuesday.
The common council, voting eight to
four, denied Ward a recount and de
to the executive position by seven ma
jority. Ward, alleging Irregularities
in three wards, has been granted an
order from the supreme court calling
upon the council to show cause why
mandamus should not be issued COMPEL
ing the aldermen to reconvene as
board Of election canvassers and ap-
point a proper committee to recount the
votes cast in the recent election.
Incidentally, the order restraints
Mayor Culver from making his munich
pal appointments and the council from
confirming any nominations submitted.
The turn affairs have taken has caused
no worry on the part Of the friends
of the new administration.
\ The action Of the common council was
dictated for the reason that Ward 8
charges were too general; that they in
cluded no specific allegations of abuses,
and his failure to claim that even in
the event Of his contentious being true
the result of the election would be al
tered. The council also took the posi-
ton that, as a canvassing board, it had
no power to open or cause to be opened
the ballot boxes inyquestion and make a
recount, and that by refusing to receive
the petition, the contesting candidate
would have redress in tribunal of COM
petent jurisdiction, thus leaving the
matter open for the courts to decide.
There are hints that two or three of
the ballot boxes have been tempered

which Gray pulled his gun and shot
Murphy thru the body.
The injury was a famous one in some
respects, as it was similar to that re-
ceived later by President Mckinley.
The bullet perforated the bowels in
fourteen places.
After shooting the chief, Gray started
to run. A spectator tripped him and
ne fell to the bridge, where he was held.
Murphy ran up to the PROSTATE man
and fired into his head as Gray lay on
his back. jtt
This is what angered Gray. He did
not mind being arrested and serving
doubleheader terms in the penitenti-
aries of Minnesota and North Dakota,
but objected to what he termed the
treacherous methods of the officer in
trate position and shooting him in the
head. f.. -s.e.. -. 80. Y
Gray was taken to Moorhead imme-
diately after the shooting. On his re-
covery he was sent to the penitentiary
in Saltwater eighteen months for the
burglary. Immediately on. his release
he was arrested on requisition papers
and brought to North Dakota, where he
was given ten years, for shooting Muir

seems to have been the predominating

- To what extent this enterprise will
be carried on is not known, but if it
proves success, there is no knowing
what the outcome will be, and to- what

In any event, there will be a strong
effort made by the people at large to
induce the next state legislature to pass
a bill purchasing all the land about the
lake and>conv erting it into state park.
This will be the only way to preserve
this beautiful spot from destruction. !.
Thousands of tourists from all over
the United States, who visit Devils lake

First Christian Science
Church Built at Oconto

Green Bay, Wis, April 14.-Perhaps
there is no more remarkable fact in con-

Science movement than that the first
church of this denomination should
have been built in the comparatively
unknown city of Oconto in Wisconsin.
It was in 1866, while Mrs. Mary Baker
G. Eddy was a resident of Lynn, Mass,
that the discovery on which is based
the Christian Science religion came to
her. 1t seems remarkable that it was
twenty years before the now worldwide
movement had gained sufficient head
way to warrant the erection Of a
church building, and that the first
church should have been built in a
small and obscure town, thousands of
miles from the section where the move
ment had its inception.
