GETS TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS
AT STATE PENIT EN-
TlARY
VIM. ATKINS GETS 10 MONTHS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

The arrest and subsequent convic-
ton of William James, by a Flea Of
guilty before Judge Stevens yesterday,
was the result Of some very clever de-
tective work ON the part of Sheriff
StackhOuse, and to him is due all Gre
dit for the result accomplished in
bringing James to justice. A day or
so after the Lee-Radke burglary in
which William Atkins first confessed,
Mr.. Stackhouse, with only bare and
faltering statement of the self confess
ed criminal, Atkins, to work on, made
q trip to Madison and searched about
the railroad yards. He saw many men
OF different natiOnalities, clad as crooks
and tramps usually are. Without fur
ther evidence of completely in the
Lee-Radke Offense on the part of
James the sheriff was able to detect
him as the probable accomplice Of At
kins. A search disclosed the posses
sion of new knife on the person of
James. James was brought to Bara-
boo and the knife proved to be a part
of the stolen property, and although
James persisted in denying his guilt
he was forced to the wall, so to speak,
and finally at the last moment entered
a plea of guilty, and received his SEN
tence of two and one half years in the
penetentiary at Waupun. Atkins
was sentenced to eighteen months.
The people of Sauk county are to be
congratulated on having a sheriff so
solicitous of the public interests.
The case Of the State VS.. Leslie Max
ham in which the defendant is charged
with assault and battery, was begun
yesterday. Henry E. Stewart is the
complaining witness. Both of the
parties live in Reedsburg. The trouble
arose, according to the complaint, from
Markham crossing property which
Stewart had ploWed after notice 10
desist. Markham claims that he knew
nothing had been planted then and
that Stewart had threatened him
previously.
In the case of Ella Britton VS..
Harry Britton, divorce was granted.
$65 suit money was allowed by the
court.
The case of Link VS.. Sweet was
stricken from the Calender upon mo
tiOn Of Atty Kelly.
The case of Loverin & Brown VS.. Ab-
bic Travis is now before the court.

INJURED IN RUNAWAY
Two Ladies Thrown From Buggy and
Bruised s mewhat.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

While out driving last evening Mrs.
Thomas Burton and Mrs. Frank Bur
ton were thrown from their rig. 1t
seems the horse became frightened at
the corner of Fifth and Ash streets and
turned suddenly, overturning the bug
gy. Mrs. Frank Burton was dragged
a short distance and bruised somewhat
Her sister-in-law sustained slightly
injured shoulder. The buggy was
slightly disfgured.

(From Thursdays Daily)

After having been out some time in
the case of the state VS.. Leslie Max
ham, the jury found the defendant
guilty. He was fined $40 and costs,
amounting to $57, total of $67. The
case was started in Reedsburg in JUS
tice Behn's court, from which an ap-
peal to the circuit court was taken.
The case of Loverin Browne Co. VS..
Mrs. Abbie Travis is an action concern
ing a guarantee bond. This was before
the court all of the forenoon today. 1t
seems that Loverin and Brown sold
goods to H. E. Ferris on the strength
of guarantee bond signed by Mrs.
Travis. Later she married and and
interposed the marriage as an argu-
ment against guarantee.

Sauk county was more than loyal

JOE WENT BACK HOME.
Turkeys Are All Right With Cran-
berry Sauce He Says.

Middletown, Conn, March 1S.-Joseph
Bailey. nine years, city boy who came
TO visit his uncle, Capt Dan Wright,
at his turkey farm last week, packed
his grip and went back to the city to-
day.
Wright's turkey farm is at Killings
worth. Young Joe says the place is well
named. The Wright turkeys have a
reputation as big as the state of Con-
necticut and regularly sweep the ring
at poultry shows
When Joe arrived last week his uncle
took him out and showed him the tur-
keys Joe said he had seen larger ones
IN the park zoo at home. His uncle
dldn't say anything, but a little later
told Joe not to make too free with
big bronze 4O-pounder named Tom.
Tom is three years old and cock of the
walk by survival of the f1ttest
It was not long afterward that Cap
tain Dan beheld his nephew throwing
snowballs at Tom the majestic. Tom s
hackles were up and he was gobbling
like a pirate. but Joe, when he con-
scented to cease firing, added that he
was not afraid of just a turkey.
Joe took a stick yesterday and adj
ventured into the turkey yard. 1t was
the first time he and Tom had been
on the same side of a wire fence. and
Tom rose to the occasion.
Before Joe had a chance to get the
stick in action Tom bore down on him
ana la1d him PROSTATE with a single
blow of a powerful wing. Instantly he
followed his advantage by springing on
the bows body. Then he struck the
boys face with his beak. The volley
of blows he rained was as fast as ma
chine gunnery Every blow brought a
spout of blood.
Joe rolled on his face. kicked and
screamed. His uncle ran out, to find
Tom still striking viciously at the back
of the boys head. Captain Dan drove
him off with a club. and the bird re-
treated. taking a piece of the boys
scalp as large a half dollar
He was carried indoors and his hurts
dressed. When the last piece of stick
ing plaster was en- he told his uncle to
hitch up and drive him to the station.
His last words as he boarded the train
were:
Turkeys are all right-with cram
