Linden Boy" IN his day one
of the best known running horses
in this section of the country, has
finished life's run, the horse being
dead at Roub's veterinary establish
ment in Monroe where it has been
under treatment for an ailment that
veterinary skill failed to overcome.
The horse was native of Linden,
Iowa county, and was the greatest
half mile runner ever owned In
Southern Wisconsin. Old horsemen
say he was one of the most con-
slstent race horses ever tracked,
and one that won more than his
full share of races The horse was
on the turf from 1890 to 1900 and
was a favorite at all the county fairs
in this section of the country.

"A thorough investigation of the
smallpox situation in Galena has
disclosed the fact that there are
twelve cases there. There has not
been a death and no patient is seri-
ously i'll. Quarantine is being main

Railroad ticket men declare that
more than so percent Of the travel
ing public in Wisconsin use the
5OO-mile book which, at the sugges-
ton of the Wisconsin railroad COM
