HOLDS JUSTICE FOR PLOT.
Court Officer and Alleged Accomplish
Must Stand Trial for Placing Ven
ison in Enemy's Larder

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, April 2.-Frank
Lamont, the witness who made a sensa-
tional escape from the authorities at
Hayward March IS. the day before a
trial, was recaptured at Ironwood Mich,
by Sheriff Fred Clark of Sawyer county.
He was the chief witness in the case
against Lee Mcdonald of Draper,
charged with being in a conspiracy with
others to have G. H. Maddocks, hotel
keeper of Draper. arrested for serving
venison out of season. Lamont confessed
that he had put venison in Maddocks'
shed. but that Mcdonald had told him
to make the complaint.
Mcdonald and Lamont admitted that
i'll feeling had existed between them and
Maddocks; also that Lamont thought by
placing venison in Maddocks' shed and
having the latter arrested he would be
getting even with Maddocks for having
shot over his house and frightening one
of the children so it fell out on the floor
and broke an arm.
Mcdonald is justice of the peace of the
town of Winter and stated to the court
that he thought he was doing his duty
by writing complaints to the game war
den for Lamont.
The court decided that the charge of
conspiracy had been we'll founded and
bound Mcdonald over to the circuit
court fixing his bond at $500. Lamont
will now have a trial for contempt of
court, and after that will be placed on
the stand charged with having been in
a conspiracy.

CEDARBURG FIRE:
BURNS BUILDINGS.
School, Fire Station and Saloon De-
stroyed by an Early Morn
ing Blaze

CEDARBURG, Wis, April 2.-[Spe-
cial. Fire, which was discovered at
o'clock this morning, destroyed the fire
station. all the fire apparatus, the village
school in the same building and a stone
structure adjoining which is occupied by
a saloon, entalling an aggregate loss OF
$4,000, with only $41O0 insurance.
The fire station is on the first floor of
the school building. In it were a fire
steamer. ladder truck and other fire ap-
Daratus. 1t was in the basement that
the fire originated, though the cause is
not known.
Gives Alarm; Hurt by Glass.
Charles Killing discovered the blaze
and gave the alarm. He was injured
about the head by falling glass in break
ing into the fire station.
AS entrance was effected, the floor of
the station gave way and the apparatus
sank into the basement, the vehicles be-
ing wrecked. Then the building burned
to the ground and all in it was lost.
The damage is estimated at $4,000,
with $4,000 insurance on the building.
Villages Send Help.
The adjoining building was a stone
structure owned by Mrs. NJ. Kuether
and occupied by Nicholas Schulz, who
conducts a saloon. This building was
destroyed, nothing but the stone walls
being left. 1t was valued at $4,000 and
only $500 insurance was carried. The
saloon furniture was saved.
AS the fire prevented getting out the
fire apparatus from the start, Milwau-
kee was telegraphed for assistance, but
fore a company there started for the
village, distance of twenty miles, by
rail, the request was withdrawn. A
bucket brigade showed that the fire could
be confined to the two buildings and that
there was no hope of saving these. Graf
ton and Thiensville sent help.

FULL RESERVE is UPHELD.
Wisconsin Lies Old Assessment Policies
Must be Made Self Sustaining,
Says Attorney General.

MADISON, Wis, April 2-[Special. I
In response to a request by Insurance
Commissioner George Beedle relative to
the affairs of the Wisconsin Life Insur-
ance company, Attorney General Frank
L. Gilbert today rendered decision
holding that the company must assess all
policy holders whose premium rates are
insufficient, such an amount as is needed
to put them on a self-sustaining basis or
reduce the amount of insurance to a
sum the present rates will purchase
This affects policies written before the
company changed to the full reserve
basis in 1899. The decision holds the
company is estopped when setting up the
defense that maintaining the reserve is
an illegal burden.
Either an assessment may be levied or
a lien filed against the policies to be paid
at maturity. This ENHANCEMENT does not
arise under the present method of con-
Quoting the company's business.

WOMAN SHOOTS A JUDGE.
MRS. WILLIAM OGDEN, RIPON, EMP
TIES REVOLVER IN COURT
ROOM-TWO HIT.
NOTE BOOK SAVES HIM.
Charles Kashaba, Spectator at Larceny
Trial, Seriously Injured by Wom-
ans Bullet.

RIPON, Wis, April 1.-[Special. i
Mrs. William Ogden, late Saturday shot
Justice of the Peace L. e. Nohl in his
court room after he had convicted her
husband of petty larceny, and also
wounded Charles Kashaba, who was in
the court room. Today she will be
given a hearing at Fond du Lac.
Justice Nohl, whose life probably was
saved by a note book he carried in his
pocket, which diverted the course of the
bullet, was about the street today,
though the shot still is in his body.
Charles Kashaba is confined to his home,
though it is expected he will recover.
1t was only after an exciting COM
bat that Mrs. Ogden was captured after
her escapade in the court room. She
threatened to kill herself, saying she had
been robbed and that her children are
starving.
Went for Money; Got Revolver.
A charge that William Ogden had
stolen $40 worth of scrapiron from q.
Pinskir, a peddler, had just been tried
by Justice Nohl, Ogden being found
guilty and fined 81 and costs. Mrs.
Ogden was much incensed at the finding
and used abusive language to the JUSTICE.
She left the office ostensibly for the
purpose of securing funds to settle the
matter, but instead went to a hardware
store and purchased a revolver and box
of cartridges. She then returned to the
Justices office and fired pointblank at
Justice Nohl. She also fired four other
shots, one striking Charles kashuba,
who was in the office, over the heart.
Looked for Another Enemy.
When arrested the woman was search
ing for the NAH who caused her hus-
bands arrest and made desperate re-
sistance. She was bound over for exam
ination before Justice Older, and in de-
fault of $1,000 bail, was committed to
Jail. She refused absolutely to make
any statement to the justice or physl-
elan.
Justice Nohl made light of his injury,
although the bullet is lodged in the
tieshy part of the right CT t. He said
the womans husband had veen repeat
eddy before him in the last year, but he
knew of no reason for any grudge.
l.. e. Nohl is brother of Fred Nohl
of Milwaukee.

WAUKEE MAN.
DILLON DENIES DEED.
Deathbed Statement of Young Man IS
Evidence Against Liquor
Dealer.

RACINE, Wis, April 2.-[Special. i
Jacob c. Best, Jr., son of the wealthy
liquor dealer of Milwaukee, who was
shot in the abdomen during a quarrel IN
saloon here last week, died early to-
day.
Charged With Murder.
VIM. Dillon in whose saloon Best was
shot is in jail and, although Dillon de-
MES the deed, a dying statement OF Best,
together with the statements OF men VINO
were in the saloon at the time OF the
shooting, charge Dillon with the crime
The district attorney has secured war
rant charging Dillon with murder.
Father at Bedside.
Mr. Best was conscious to within half
an hour before the end. His father was
with him, and talked with the dying
man. Young Best suffered great pain.
Yesterday the young mans condition
seemed improved, but toward evening II
took a turn for the worse.
Autopsy Is Held
An autopsy was held today. 1t re-
vealed that death was caused by gan
creme, setting in from the bullet wound.
The body was taken possession OF by
the Schweitzer Undertaking company OF
Milwaukee and left here at $50.
Jacob Best, the father of the dead man
visited the jail this morning and saw
Dillon. He asked Dillon what he shot
his son for, and Dillon replied that he
did not shoot MIN, and the elder Best
replied, "We'll see,' and then walked
away.
New Facts Brought Out.
This morning Hans Gibson the porter
in the saloon was taken to Dillon's sa-
loon by the chief of police, the sheriff
and the district attorney and explained
exactly in what position Dillon stood
and Best stood when the shot was fired.
Considera bic new facts came out. Glib
son states that Dillon with q revolver in
his hand pushed Best out of the door
and at the same time kicked him and
that Best opened the door and tried to
kick Dillon in the bowels and when he
raised the gun it exploded and that Best
was outside of the door when this hap
paned and not inside at all. 1t is pre-
sumed that an effort will be made to
prove that the shot was fired accidently.
An inquest will be held at 3:15 this
afternoon.
Was Only 26 Years Old
Jacob G.. Best Jr., was 26 years old.
He was the only son of Jacob A. Best,
we'll known liquor dealer of Milwau-
kee. Since he completed his education
at the University of Wisconsin several
years ago he had been associated with
his father in the wholesale liquor firm
Of Jacob Best & Co. He was well
known among the younger element in
Milwaukee and had a host of acquaint-
ances throughout the state.
