Outwitted by the Officers.

The doors of the hall were then sud-
denly thrown open and the officers
forming a flying wedge with BALI in
their center made a run for the depot.
The mob was taken by surprise, but
quickly realized the plan Ofthe officers.
The leaders made rush to intercept
the officers, but were hurled aside or
trampled on. Reaching the depot
just as the train stopped, the officers
threw BALI aboard, the engineer pulled
the throttle open and the train got
under way before the mob could rally
it's forces for another attack.
When it realized that it had been
outwitted by the officers, the mob gave
a howl of rage that could be heard
half a mile and caused BALI to cringe
with fear.
After being locked in cell in the
Sauk County Jail, BALI retired at once
and slept soundly. He did not get up
for his breakfast and at noon was still
asleep, evidently worn out by lack of
rest. He has nothing to say coocerning
his guilt or innocence. He will have a
hearing as soon as Mrs. Fronk is able
to appear.

REST ROOMS
FOR BARABOO

Through the energy and liberality
of Mrs. G. j. Koppke and the efforts
of the local w, G. 7. u, Baraboo is to
have rest home for women. Many
cities in the country have rest homes
or rest rooms and such an institution
has been very much desired in BarabOo
for long time.
From the proceeds of the sale of her
work, "Bows of White Ribbon" Mrs.
Koppke purchased the residence at 12O
Second avenue, nearly opposite the
post office and just west of the Masonic
Temple. Three rooms of the residence
she has donated for rest rooms and
these will be furnished during the next
few days. There is reception room,
dining room and kitchen besides a
number of sleeping rooms on the second
floor which will be furnished for visi-
tors at a nominal rental.

Fronk Protected Him.

FrOnk, the husband of the woman,
helped to protect BALI from the mob in
which her brothers were leaders. BALI
was taken before Justice Hathaway,
waived examination, and was brought
to Baraboo last night. He was nervous
and excited and was glad to run the
half block from the lookup to the train
through the large crowd to escape the
infuriated people.
While BALI was being arraigned be-
fore the justice the crowd outside grew
larger and more menacing. 1t seemed
as though the entire countryside had
turned out to take the law into its own
hands and avenge the crime against it's
WOmanhOOd.
The appearance of huge long rope
and the testing of nearby scafiold by
the mob alarmed the officers and they
decided that quick action was necessary
to save their prisoner. AT about this
iuncture the whistle of a passenger
train bound from Prairie du Chem to
Madison was heard. The officers saw
their chance, and took advantage of it.
The justice bound the prisoner over
for hearing before the court at Bara-
boo.

$4,000 FOR A
BRIDES LOVE
(Beloit News. Nov. 6.)

A damage suit for $4,000 for the
lalleged alienation of his wife's affec-
tiOns, may be started by O. A. Weig-
ley, who is now employed by the Be
lott Concrete Stone company, against
his father-in-law, John Smith, con-
ductor on the Northwestern road, un-
less his bride of month is allowed
to return to live with him.
Mr.. Smiths side of the story has
not been learned but the recital of
the affair as heard from Weigley is
exceedingly interesting.
According to his tale he became ae-
quainted some time ago with Miss
Ellen Smith at her home, 718 Grove
street, Baraboo. At that time, he
claimed, her mother had designs on
gentleman, Frank Weicy, whose
purse strings were long. This man
was deeply in love with Miss Smith
but for some reason she was unable
to return his affection with any ar
dor. One evening while at her home
he proposed to her and was rejected.
Becoming respondent, while she was
out of the room, he attempted to end
his existence by tying handkerchief
about his neck intending to hang him.
self. He was saved from his design
by the mothers opportune entrance.
EIope to Rockford
Soon after this Weigly met the
girl and their acquaintance soon rip
ened into love. When the question
of matrimony was broached to her
parents, they very promptly informed
the young man that their daughter
was not on the market. But there is
an old and hackneyed saying, that
Glove will find way" and nothing
daunted, the young people, four weeks
ago, quietly slipped from under
the parental wings and going to Rock
ford were married.
They then came to this city and
for time all was peaceful. How
ever, as soon as the brides parents
recovered from their surprise, they
took immediate steps to recover their
daughter and yesterday appeared in
Beloit to the astonishment and an
noyance of the newly married cou-
pie.
The interested parties met on the
N1nff Of In n Il
there little family tableau was en-
acted, with the bride and groom as
the unwilling heroine and hero.
Threatens An Exposure
The irate father after he found that
persuasion availed nothing, brought
up some rather unsavory matters con-
nected with Weigley's past method of
living and in plain language informed
him that if the girl was not allowed
to return to her home, he would have
him (Weigley) sent to prison. The
young groom was frightened out of
his wits and advised his little wife
to do as her parents bade until he
could see what could be done in the
matter. She consented and as soon
as they had her safe, Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith hurried back to BaraboO, TAX
ing her with them.
In the light of calm afterthought,
Weigley consulted an attorney, who
informed him that the father ran, as
he expressed it, ga horny-handed
bluff upon him."
| An ultimatum was this morning is
sued by Weigley's attorney to the
effect that if the bride was not re-
turned to her husband suit for dam
ages would be commenced at once,
and now Weigley is awaiting returns
from BaraboO.

vided for the home but few necessar-
les are yet needed. Further particu-
