STEEL CAR PLANT FOR DULUTH.
VIII be Companion Concern for the
Trusts Big Steel Mill.

VIII be Companion Concern for the
Trusts Big Steel Mill.
Pittsburg, June 20. - A steel car
plant to be erected at Duluth, Mimi,
as a companion to the new steel plant
of the United States Steel corpora
tiCn is the next expectation.
Officials of the corporation say that
unless either the Pressed Car compa'
ny or the Standard Steel Car company
goes into the project the steel corpora
ton will erect and operate the plant
itself.
Officials of the Standard company
say that there is no possibility OF
them starting the construction of an
other plant for some time. The Press
ed Steel Car company has also SHE'D
at the proposition. Having just gotten
an addition to it's producing capacity
under way at Montreal, Canada, the
directors feel that they do not care
to take up another enterprise of this
nature.
Because of the inability to secure
any definite promise, it is learned on
good authority that company which
will also be a subsidiary one of the
steel corporation, will be organized in
the near future to finance and build
the car plant.

WILL NOT CHANGE TRAIN.
Request of Brother of the Rev. Jenkin
Lloyd Jones Turned Down.

Request of Brother of the Rev. Jenkin
Lloyd Jones Turned Down.
The state railroad commission dis
missed the petition of Enos Lloyd
Jones of Spring Green for an order
compelling the Milwaukee road to
change the leaving time at Madison
of the west-bound passenger train, No.
SO, on the Prairie du Chen division,
from 1905 a. m. to 1850 a. M, so as
to connect with a train from Chicago.
The petition set forth that the Hill
side school, Tower Hill encampment
and Tower Hill summer school are To-
Gated at Spring Green, and that
large number of people residing in
Chicago are interested in them. These
people arriving in Madison from Chi
cago at 11:45 a. m. are compelled to
lay over until 4:25 p. m. for train
to Spring Green.
In denying the petition the commits
sion says that the benefits that would
accrue by ordering the change would
be greatly overbalanced by the incon-
venience that would result. 1t also
calls attention to the fact that train
leaves Chicago shortly before noon,
which makes close connections with
the train leaving Madison on the Prai-
RE du Chine division at 4:25 p. m,
and that Chicago people desiring to
go to Spring Green can travel on it,

State News of Interest
SHOOT BEAR IN TOWN.
Animal Appears at Barron and Gives
Bad Eriuht TO [ title Girl

Animal Appears at Barron and Gives
Bad Fright to Little Girl.
Screams of a frightened little girl
who, on her way home along the edge
Of the town of Barron, was confronted
by huge bear, speedily brought forth
a dozen men, armed with shotguns
and rifles, one of whom killed the ami
NAL within the town limits.
When the girl and bear met at the
edge of the clearing the surprise was
mutual. The girl was frightened, but
not so with the bear The girl imme-
diately took the back track leaving in
her wake series of piercing shrieks.
The animal made no attempt at pur-
suit, however, but continued it's search
for something edible, and the slaugh-
ter house near by attracted its atten-
ton.
Meantime the girl flew in the direc-
ton of home, screaming "E-e-a-r!"
with all the strength of her young
lungs. Harvey E. Wygant was one Of
the first to be met by her. and he ar
rived in the vicinity of the slaughter
house in advance of a dozen men who
had hastily grabbed their guns and
followed the directions of the girl.
When Wygant came to the slaughter
house ne went around the building
and came face to face with the animal.
Two shots dropped Bruin in his
tracks. The bear weighed 200 pounds.
Some years ago it was not an infre-
quent occurrence to see bears inside
of town, but this is the first shot ont
of the woods for some time.-W.

500 FARMERS AT UNIVERSITY.
Big Excursion Party From Barron
County TO College.

4IS any FIOiu DdIIOT
County to College.
An excursion party of 500 farmers
and dairymeD travelled 500 miles from
Barron county to Madison Thursday
for a twO-day visit to the University
of Wisconsin college of agriculture.
They were met at the station by Dean
w. A. Henry and members of the fac
ulty and students, who acted as guides
throughout the two days. Thursday
night Gov. Davidson held reception
at the capitol building for the visitors.
Friday morning at 8 o'clock they filled
the big auditorium in the main agri-
cultural building, where Dean Henry
gave them his formal welcome. Groups
were then formed, under the direction
of various professors, for the more
convenient inspection of the different
buildings and Of the fine stock on the
experiment station farm. Demonstra-
ton lectures were given in the dairy
school, the horticulture-physi build.
ing and in the stock judging pavilion.
Dean Henry predicted last years eX-
cursion would be worth a million dol
lars to the county. A Barron farmer
said this year: THE renewed interest
in dairying, the raising of better stock
and the formation of the Barron
County Breeders association are all
direct results Of last years excursion.
One man has figured that twenty thor
oughbred dairy sires imported into
the county would produce a million
dollars in increased profits in ten
years. Over twenty such sires have
been brought into the county since
last fall"

FRAUDULENT USE

GOVERNMENT BEGINS PROSECU.
TON OF WISCONSIN GRAIN
AND STOCK co.
SEVEN WARRANTS SWORN OUT

st. Paul, June 30.-Lewin A. Wood,
president of the st. Paul Automobile
club, was arraigned at $3.50 last even.
ing before United States Commission
er Spencer on d charge Of using the
mails to defraud. He entered a plea
of not guilty and was released on So
900 bail to appear for hearing at 10
o'clock next Friday.
The arrest was made in connection
with prosecutions commenced by the
government against the Wisconsin
Grain and Stock company. Seven war
rants were issued on application of P.
A. Ewart, assistant district attorney.
The warrants were for the arrest of
L. A Wood G. w Wood, G. q. Phelps,

ny; M. P. Quigley, cashier and treas
Urer of the company; G. T. Kelley,

tary and agent of the company in SUI
periOr, Wis.

Inspector Ketcham Gets Busy.
The cases are the direct result Of
numerous complaints which, it is said,
have been made to the authorities that
the Wisconsin Grain and Stock compa-
ny was not transacting business ''ac
cording to Hoyle." The postoffice de-
partment detailed Inspector w. NJ.
Ketcham of Chicago on the case six
months ago. He rounded up sixty-five
complainants, who join in asserting
that the methods of the company are
not as represented. The dealings Of
the sixty-five compliments represent
transactions amounting to $4,000,
and it is contended by the government
that the trades were fictitious.
Conspired to Deceive.
The contention of the government is
that the defendants conspired to de-
ceive and that they used the United
OIdI0S uldIlS III CdII9 IuS Ou CHG uGCCp@
ton. 1t is claimed that the statements
sent to customers and purpOrting to be
memoranda of actual sales of stock
and grain were not genuine, and that
there has been no actual sales of
stock. 1t is claimed that the Superior
board of trade, on which they deal, is
in reality a subterfuge and that the
trades supposed to be made there are
merely a pretense.
History of Trouble.
The trouble began several years
ago, when the Edwards-WOod company
became very active in an effort to
drive the Coe Commission company
out of business and later succeeded,
as it did with one or two smaller con-
Germs. The Edwards-Wood company
then had trouble with the Chicago
board of trade and with the Minneapo-
lis chamber of commerce, and lost it's
membership in both institutions.
The Wisconsin Grain and Stock COM
pany was then incorporated and pur-
chased the business and good will of
the Edwards-WOod company.

Holy Jumpers Attorney Quotes Scrip
ture to Court.
After a trial in the municipal court
at Waukesha lasting all day Elizabeth
Meinung and Mrs. Elite Blinn, mem
beFs of the "Holy Jumpers" arrested
for making disturbance on the
street June 16, were found guilty OF
disorderly conduct and sentenced to
five days in the county Jail in default
of fine of 81 and costs each, which
they refused to pay. The case was
tried before Judge d. w. Agnew OF
Oconomowoc.
City Attorney Lockney, who prose
cuted the case, asked that the mini
mum penalty be imposed, for the rea'
son that the defendants were women
and one of them the mother of several
small children. 1t was the second
case, he said, and the final warning.
In the event of any subsequent ar.
rests, Mr.. Lockney stated that he
should demand the maximum penalty
of $50 or sixty days Imprisonment
The defense was conducted by T..
w. Haight and was along the line that
the defendants were immune because
of their religious belief, the attorney
quoting the Bible and various works
of prose and poetry in support of his
contention.
Some interesting inside informa.
ton" of the inner workings of the
sect was brought out on cross-exami-
nation. 1t was testified that persons
joining the sect turn over their prop
erty and money to the association. 1t
was also testified by the defendants
that the street meetings were held by
the order of Edwin L. Harvey, the 10.
cal head of the sect, who, however,
has not laid himself liable to arrest by
participating in the downtown meet,
ings, but has remained quietly at the
quarters at the Fountain house.
