GAINESVILLE

Mr. and Mrs Carlisle Hubbard and
family have returned from six years
residence in Japan, where Mr. Hubbard
is connected with the M G A work.
Mr. Hubbard was with the Japanese army
in Manchuria during the recent war
with Russia, in charge of the Y M G A
tent
The Brodhead burglar, who was shot
last Tuesday morning while attempting
to get away with his booty has been
recognized as a man who formerly lived
in Brodhead. About fifteen years ago
the jewelry store of G E Doolittle was
burglarized and about seven hundred
dollars worth of jewelry was taken. No
trace was ever discovered of the perpe-
traitors of the deed, but Harry Parnell
or, as he gave his name to the police the
other day, B N Daniels, disappeared at
the time. He was recognized the other
day as the same man and it is believed
that he was the one guilty of the Doc
little burglary. Parnell, alias Daniels,
had so far recovered from the effects of
his wound as to be taken to Monroe and
lodged in the county jail.
Shersff Welch of Wood county Friday
placed under arrest here Vera Phillips
wanted for desertion, the warrant being
sworn out by her husband who resides
at Grand Rapids, Wis. It is alleged that
the woman left her husband and sixteen
months old babe. On arriving in James
Vile the woman went under the name of
"Miss" Phillips and as such hired out as
a domestic at the South Jackson street
home of Mr. and Mrs T E Welsh. At
the age of fourteen the Phillips girl was
married to youth of fifteen, Paul Chris
tian, who shortly after their marriage
was given twenty-year sentence in
Waupun. Love for her prison husband,
who is to be released next January,
caused her to run away from husband
No 2 and through letter sent to the
imprisoned man the woman was traced
to GAINESVILLE.
Geo Lee, aged 81 years, committed sui
eide Thursday by shooting the top of his
head off. He was married little over a
month ago to Mrs Griffin of Evansville.
His first wife died two years ago and he
came to GAINESVILLE from Loup City, Neb.
There he saw the woman who last month
became his second bride, her husband
having died. Last Sunday she became
violently insane and tried to commit sui
eide by throwing herself into the river.
The next day she tried to kill herself
again with razor, and she is now in a
critical condition. Monday, Lee walked
out of the house and went to the shed.
Mrs Lees daughter, Mrs Mabel Scott,
noticed blood dripping from out the
shed door. When the door was opened
the body fell out. The head was blown
off. Mr. Lee was supposed to be worth
between $4,000 and $4,000 1t is
thought that the fact that his wife had
become insane caused him to commit
the deed.

At the last moment, after more than
twc-thirds of the members of the leg
islature have shipped their plumber
boxes and left for home, there has
arisen situation that threatens to
prolong the life of this interminable
session for several days.
The stock and bond limitation bill
will be before the assembly today and
a quorum is necessary for its consid-
sideration. A "call of the house.
seems inevitable. Sergeant at Arms
w. 8. Irvine last night sent out some
55 kilograms to members of the pop
ulous branch, summoning them to re-
turn to their legislative task, but it
is assured that many will fail or re
fuse to return unless compelled by ex-
treme demands to turn back to the
law factory.
The situation is emergent in the
extreme 1t is understood that Gov
ernor Davidson last night let it be
known that he believed the passage
of an effective stock and bond limt
tation act to be one of the most need
ed results of the present legislative
session, and that unless satisfactory
action was had before the final adj
journment he would summon The leg
islature shortly in extraordinary ses-
sion to perform this important duty.
The stock and bond bill was before
the assembly yesterday. but Mr.. Nor
cross raised the point of no quorum
and the call of the roll disclosed that
there were present only 40 members,
SO that all the assembly could do was
to take a recess until evening and
then nothing could be done but to adj
journ for the day. Then the speaker
spoke to the sergeant and the latter
began to shoot kilograms all over the
state to interrupt the home-comings of
tired members. Last night the SER
geant received a number of replies,
some of them informing him that the
members were fastening back to
Madison and others being less salts

mus Zech was at one time one of the
leading lumbermen and merchants of

the Kerstens in their bank failure and
lost all he had there, and his wife al

through the infatuation with his
pretty stenographer eAfter the failure
