Heirs in Norway Get the Estate.

By decision of Judge Sale of the pro
bate court in declaring Annie Marie
Garsdatter Borlum of Konigsburg, Nor
way, heir to the estate Of Jennie w.
Tweets, who died two years ago in the
Mendoza insane asylum. settlement is
made in suit which has involved the
laws of two countries and which has
been the subject of much international
correspondence, and which will have a
bearing upon similar cases in the future.
Annie Borlum was the illegitinate
daughter of the deceased, who came to
this country some twenty years ago. She
saved from her earnings an estate OF sew
eral thousand dollars and upon her death
suit was brought by her brother, Ed
ward Robson, and sister, Mrs Sophia
jacobson, of Edgerton, to have the
money paid to Weveral Tweeta OF Ko-
nigsbufg, the parent Of the woman. Jen-
ME Tweeta died in the insane hospital,
being taken there after becoming violent
from the bite of dog, dying few days
after being admitted. Halle Stensland,
the Norwegian counsel at Madison, took
up the interest of the illegitimate daugh-
ter, and on recent trip to Norway made
a personal investigation of her claim.
Judge Sales decision settles the ques-
ton of an alien inheriting the mothers
property, which is contrary to Norwe-
gian law.

Dane County Man in Alaska

In an interview with Congressman
Gale, the representative from Alaska, at
Madison last week, that gentleman made
mention of former resident of this To-
cality who has become wealthy in the
hunt for gold. He referred to Lieft
Hottie, at one time owner of the Ben
Compton farm in Dunkirk. At Fair
banks, Lieft Hottie, Norwegian whose
home was on Wheeler Prairie, has be-
come exceedingly wealthy. In 1898 he
was in Dawson but most of his opera
tons have been in the richer fields of
Fairbanks. In the fall of 1905 Mrs.
Hottie and her baby daughter three
months old left to join Mr.. Hottie in
Alaska. She was accompanied by her
sister, Miss Olson. After reaching Daw-
son the ladies were too late to catch the
steamer for Circle City on the Yukon
and took passage the last of October IN
an open scow with party OF miners,
making the journey of 800 miles in this
hazardous manner, as the cold weather
was quite advanced and the ice running
in the river. The remaining portion of
the journey, 125 miles to Fairbanks, was
made over land.

Miss Child's Generous Gift.

The announcement is made by DIR.
Samuel Plantz. president of Lawrence
university at Appleton, that the largest
gift made by Wisconsin woman to the
cause of education has Just been ten
dered by Miss Florence Child of Edger-
ton, who gives twenty-five thousand
dollars towards fund of Sl25,O00 which
that Institution is attempting to raise to
be able to secure an endowment fund of
$4,000 from the general education
board. As recognition of Miss Child's
liberal donation the Child chair in
mathematics has been established. Miss
Chic very much prefers that her char
tiles are not given public notice and her
neighbors might not have known of this
act but for the information being given
out by Pres. Plantz. However. it is
quite generally understood that this gift
is only forerunner to much more pre-
tentlous amount which she ultimately
intends to provide for the educs tional
interests of Edgerton.

Madden Bros. will close the season next
Saturday.
E Haskins, Fl. G.. Mercereau and H.

ing upon local dealers Wednesday.
Charles Moulter, who has been in the

Mr.. Ralph Scott, who has been here
for some months looking after the pack
ing interests of his fathers firm, return.
ed to his home in Boston, Thursday
The Scott warehouse has been running
steadily since early in March and the
last bundle of their packing was cased
Tuesday night. In all little over 1000
cases of the 1906 crop have been han
died. Mr.. Scott anticipates trip to
Cuba after a short visit in Boston.
Brodhead independent: The extent OF
the tobacco industry in this immediate
section is hardly realized, and to many
it may be interesting to know that ap-
proximately 100000 worth of tobacco
was packed in the warehouses in this
city during the past season. The pack.
ing represented about three quarters OF
a million pounds of the weed, whose use
, is that of pastime, that of luxury for
men. To pack this crop it required an
average Of about 100 hands, men and
women, for about five months, and $l0,-
600 to pay these men and women, and
vet our city is located on the edge of the
tobacco district.

Charles Marsden, farmer on Albio

Charles Marsden, a farmer on Albion
Prairie, suffered slight stroke of apo
plexy Sunday evening, being found in
his barn, where he was milking, in an
unconscious condition. DR.. Morrison is
| in attendance and reports that he is i'm
proving.
H. s. Pomeroy is endeavoring to
work up a sentiment among the proper
ty owners favorable to plan of syste-
matte draining of the marsh in Albion
along Saunders creek, north of town.
In wet seasons it is sometimes difficult
to gather the hay on some portions OF
this marsh and it is believed by proper
ditching all of the property can be made
first-clas hay lands.
The shooting of George Schumacher
seems quite likely to entail considerable
expense upon Rock county, even if Flor
ence Dugan is never tried for his MUIR
der. At the meeting of the county
board the matter of paying the expenses
of Schumacher at the Mercy hospital
came up, as his relatives were unable to
further meet the bills. It was decided
that the county should continue to care
for the mar at total expense of about
$50 per week. 1t is believed there is but
small chance for his recovery.
Miss Nellie Bentley, the sixteen year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs, G. r.
Bentley, who has been attending the
American Conservatory of Music the past
year, is receiving many congratulations
for the gold medal awarded her at the
annual contest held last Thursday even
ing. There were a number of contest
arts selected by the different instructors
as best fitted to compete and her sue
cess is source of much satisfaction to
the many friends of the young lady, who
have watched her development as a
violinist OF much promise. Her prof.
cheney in this line is matter OF pride
to her friends in Edgerton as we'll as
to her parents. The judges we're un-
known to the instructors or pupils and
were newspaper critics and none of the
instructors were present.
The eighty-seventh anniversary of
the birthday of Mrs. Electa Ogden Coon

that many more like occasions may take
place.

Major Cruise Authorized 20 Buy
two Thousand Dollars worth
of Equipment for
stragElers.

Major Thomas Cruise. chief auartermaster
of the Department Of the Missouri, has
been authorized to buy a quantity Of quar-
termaster supplies for the Ute Indians
now in camp at Fort Meade. s. d. The pur-
chases will amount approximately TO R,OOo
and will include clothing, blankets, boots
and shoes and other necessary equipments
for the convenience of the Indians aside
from food. 1t is made from an appropria-
ton assigned to the Interior department by
recent act OF congress for supplying desti-
tute Indians All Of these purchases are
to be made in Omaha, exclusive Of supplies
furnished by the regular Indian supply
depot in Omaha.
These Ute Indians are the same parties
who left the Ute reservation last fall and
started on a hunting trip" into the
Powder River country in wyoming, under
Chief Appah. The Indians were finally
overhauled on the Powder River by the
Tenth and Sixth United States cavalry
regiments, and were escorted to Fort
Meade, where they have since been wards
OF the government. The band Is com
pletely destitute and numbers about 300.
They have been fed during the winter by
the government through the army COM
mlssary department, being rationed just
the same as the soldiers at Fort Meade.
II is not known at present Just what dis
position will be made of the Indians. They
are particularly averse to returning to their
old reservation In Utah, and want to go
TO the Northern Cheyenne reservation and
be permanently located there. The subject
of their disposal is under consideration by
the Indian commissioner. A delegation OF
the Indians under Chief Appah recently
visited Washington to have a talk with
the president, before whom they laid their
complaints and reasons for leaving their
Utah reservation.
