HIS SUSPICIOUS ACTIONS I'm THE
RAILROAD YARDS LED

STOPPED TRAIN AT MERRIMACK
Officer Desmond Saw Two at the
Depot-Other Taken at Mad
isOn.
(From Fridays Daily.)

William Atkins charged with taking
the knives and raZOrs missing from
Lee q Radtke's hardware store Thurs
day morning was brought before
Justice andre this afternoon and
bound over to circuit court, the amount
involved being over thirty dollars,
On Wednesday night, when the rob-
berry took place Officer Desmond saw
two men at the depot whose ac-
tiOns led him to ascertain where they
were going. They said they were
bound for st. Paul. When the train
came in he lost sight of them and sup
posed they had gone, but latter devel-
opments showed that they had sneaked
off to the yards, for yesterday after
noon Mrs. Wolfardt of the South Side
notified the officers that she had seen
a man picking up something out of the
grass and putting it into his pockets
after which he climbed under one of
the trains bound for the south. The
officers at once telegraphed to Merri-
mack to have the train stopped and
searched, with the result that Atkins
was found with about twenty-five
knives and half adoZen razors, amount
ing in all to about thirty one dollars.
1t seems that his companion had
boarded the train before, and today
was located in Madison and was
brought to Baraboo.
1t is important, as this case proves,
that citizens should let the officers
know of the actions ofany strangers in
town, because no matter how unirn-
portant they seem at the time, the in
results. If Mrs. Wolfardt had not
promptly notified the officers Of what
she had seen, the offenders would
probably never have been captured.

CONDUCTOR DIES,
Funeral of James F. McGaffery
GAINESVILLE.

-A~Tov'A f1Ailw
Superintendent P. J. O'Brien went
to Janesville today to attend the funer-
al of the late conductor, James F. Nc
Gaffrey. He died after long period
of unconsciousness, induced by an ab-
scess in the brain, and was one Of the
best known conductors on that pOr-
ton of the Chicago & Northwestern.
His run was between GAINESVILLE and
Chicago. Some months ago he injured
one of his limbs and took treatment
for time in Chicago hospital, and
only few weeks ago he was stricken
with fainting spell just as he was
about to board his train in the metrop-
oils. It is believed that some of the
deceased cells from an abscess in the
leg were carried to the brain and lOdg-
ed there. DR.. Church, Chicago
specialist who has the chair of nervous
and mental diseases at the North
western medical college, was summon
ed Sunday but after an eXam1na-
ton of the patient was able to offer
little or no hope. Deceased was born
in Chicago and was forty-nine years
of age. He had been with the G. &
n. w. Ry. Co. for thirty-three years,
entering its employ while boy of
sixteen. He was a member of the
Order of Railway Conductors and the
knights of Columbus organizations.
A special from Chicago brought many
officials to the funeral.

RING[|NG ROBBERY
QUITE A LOSS
MORE GOODS WE'RE TAKEN THAN
Was AT FIRST sup
POSED
MANY VALUABLE ARTICLES GONE
Quilts, Sheets, Silver, Furs and Fruits
Included in the Property Carried
AWaY-No Clue.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

The robbery at the Kingling resi-
dence, 821 Oak street, is now believed
to be almost clean sweep. When it
was first discovered that people had
been in the house it was thought that
the goods had possibly been taken
away by some members Of the family
after the death of the occupant last
winter. Since Mrs. Ringling's demise
the house has not been occupied. When
it had been discovered that the home
had been entered and the front door
found open, IAN investigation was made.
1t has now been found that all of the
sheets, something like ten quilts, lot
of silverware, valuable furs and canned
fruit from the cellar is gone. Had the
residence not stood in thickly popu-
lated neighbOrhOod the furniture and
carpets would no doubt have gone
also.
Of the articles taken some had been
in the family for years and were
treasured heirlooms. Some of the
articles were gifts so that the money
value alone does not cover the loss.
Neighbors noticed people about the
house and saw them there and aside
from that nothing is known as to who
plundered the home.

Mail Carriers on RL -. = :
to Abate a Genuine Nuisance.

The Sauk county rural free delivery
mail carriers will hold a meeting at
Reedsburg on Labor Day to discuss
the penny nuisance. Patrons on the
routes all over the country insist on
placing pennies in the boxes when it is
desired to have letters posted. The
carriers must dip down into the cold
receptacles in zero weather and get the
copper pieces. They do not object to
this when it is necessary but some
patrons are never thoughtful enough
to have stamps on hand and make it a
business to mail their letters in this
way. On one of the routes out of
BarabOo last winter carrier found "A
pennies in ne box and to pick up
hundred during the day is not unusual.
1t is the purpose Of the carriers to have
the department take the matter in

CITY To BUILD

ESTIMATES FURNISHED BY THE
VARIOUS CONTRACTORS
TOO HIGH
JUSTICE +. (. SHUTS RESIG NED
Wages of Teamsters Raised to 85
Cents Per Load-New Work on
Streets Recommended.
(From Fridays Daily.)

In the report submitted by the sewer
committee the members expressed
themselves dissatisfied with the bids
received from the various contractors
Tor the new proposed sewer, the price
being too high in comparison with the
estimate made by the city engineer.
The lowest bid for 80 inch vitrifed
sewer pipe was over $4,000, while the
engineers estimate was around $500.
The lowest bid for 36 inch con-
crete pipe was around $4,000, while the
engineer estimates that it can be done
fol- some less than $4,000. The engineers
estimate was so liberal and such an
abundance of allowance was made for
extra expense that the committee pro-
possed that the city furnish the mater
ial, pay the mems wages, and allow
the contractor his regular percentage
for doing the work, and that bids he
received to that end. The council ap-
proved of this and adopted the re-
port.
f. e. Shuts handed in his resig-
nation as justice of the peace for the
First ward. This was accepted.
In response to petition from the
teamsters for raisein pay for deliver
ing crushed rock onto the streets the
council passed a resolution raising
their wages to S5 cents per load of II

This report was adopted by the coun-
Gil.
The council voted to reconsider the
question of changing the boundaries
