Gored by a Bull.

Clyde Human, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. A. Hinman, of Hardin, met
with a mishap Monday evening of last
week from which he was extremely
fortunate to escape without the loss
of his life. Clyde was working on
the otto Englehart farm between
Luana and Monona, and the family
being away from home he set about
doing the evening hores. He drove
an old bull out of the barnyard and
as he turned to loosen the gate the bull
made rush for him, knocking him
down with considerable fore and get
ting down on his knees the bull be-
gan squeezing him with his head.
Clyde happened to think of the dog
at the house and whistled for him
and the faithful brute answered the
call and came to the rescue, the bull
attacking the dog while Clyde in a
half-dazed condition made his way
out of the barnyard and to the home
of his uncle, Will Human. hardly,
where medical aid was summoned and
it was found Clyde had suffered
fracture of the collarbone The
fracture was reduced and Clyde is
getting along as we'll as could be ex-
pected, and may congratulate himself
that he so fortunately escaped from
perilous predic ment that nine times
out of ten would have resulted fatal

traded the stock of goods to Guenther

land, relying on the representations
of Guenther as to its value. The land
was not as represented and an action
was brought to recover. Mr.. Gunther
set up as counter claim that the
stock of goods was not as represented
but the court awarded $l4. 300 on the
ground that the goods had been in
spected by both parties while the
land was taken wholly on the repre-
sensations of Genther. The Supreme
court affirms the decision of the lower
court The judgment is one OF the
largest ever awarded to civil case in

der direct primary. Again, it Is to
be the first time United States con-
gressmen from this state are elect
ed by districts, the selections hav-
ing been heretofore made at large

Again, there Is a United States SEN
ator to be elected this time, and
this election will come partly I'M

der the old plan. That is to say,
while the legislators to be elected
this fall will probably be pledged
under the primary law to support
the party primary choice for sena-
tor. there are number OF hold
over senators, elected two years
ago. who are not bound by any
such pledge, and the votes of these
hold-overs may be the deciding
ones in the selection, Another
lovely feature OF the situation is

the primary law.
Altogether, even at this early
date. the campaign gives promise
of being mighty interesting.

BAT7IESF1ZP POTTER
j LOOKING FOR NOTORLETY

RIO JANIERO, Jan. 20.-The po-
ice are still searching for Jean
Fedher, one of the anarchists who
is alleged to have been mainly i'm.
plicated in a plot to blow up an
American battleship now in the
harbor. His capture is expected at
any moment, and with his arrest
it is believed several suspects will
also be taken into custody.
The police believe the alleged
plot to be mere Pigment of Fed
hers brain and that he told the
story merely to gain notoriety.
The police here received ad.
vanced warning before the feet ar
rived that French and German an
archists had plotted the destruc-
ton of as many United States war
vessels as possible here. Fedher
is suspected as the author of the
conspiracy if 1t proves that such a
plot was really in existence. The
ships are closely guarded and the
waterfront heavily patrolled.

JAP SPIES DOG
HIS TRAIL

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-Jap-
anese spies have been DIGGING the
movements of Lieut.. James II.
Walker all the way from Japan to
America. While in San Francisco
even, this officer declares he was
made the victim OF Jap espionage.
Walker Is returning to Washing.
ton from a trip over the Far East.
The Japanese evidently believed he
was spy or bearer Of important
information and dispatches for per-
sons whom they wished to discover.
They picked up his trail and logged
him through Japan into Manchuria
and the Chinese ports. They took
berths on the same steamer and fol.
lowed him to his hotel in this city
and are supposed to have gone East
with Walker.
Walker had been investigating
the reputed part Of Japanese in
stirring up anti-American feeling
which caused the boycott in China.
His report is such that the Japan
would give much to have a copy
of it. This caused the spies to fol-
low him in the hopes of securing a
copy in some manner.

Today she is again telling the
story of her relations with Stan
ford White.
1t was much the same story that
she told year ago. Perhaps it
lost bit by it's retelling. In spots
the keen dramatic effect of the
woman's recital was lost by the
knowledge of the sordid sequel up
to which she was working, but In
all, 1t will remain for years, as 1t
has stood since its first utterance,
the most staggering story Of re-
fined human brutishness that has
ever been cast into Justices scales
In an effort to tip the balance.

Special Correspondence to The Press
Suppose you had been fighting
off darkness with the weak aid OF
tallow candles for two months
What would you give for glimpse
of sunlight and clear blue sky
above you?
There were moments with us
since Dec. 4 when we would have
given 10 years of our lives.
You can't imagine till you've
tried 1t, the terrible monotony OF
such Imprisonment as was ours. A
seven-up game gets mighty stale
when you keep it up for month
You want to get out and walk and
walk and walk as If you couldn't
ever tire.
And it isn't pleasant to know
that any moment another cave-in
may bury you deeper than ever
and maybe cut off your food chute
No more of it for ours.
Our friends stood with us finely
They left nothing lacking. Every
thing we asked for We got.
At first we had to sleep on the
damp ground. 1t was anything but
pleasant. When they sent us a
roll of canvas we made cots, and
afterward slept in comparative com
fort.
Just after the cavern the air
condition were terrible. We
nearly suffocated and how we
lived through it is more than we
know. The dust was sitting. 1t
settled over everything, almost an
inch thick.
We were in utter darkness and
attempted to burn torch made OF
waste saturated with oil. The fumes
only increased the distressful con-
oitions and the idea was abandoned
instantly. We had no light for "a
hours.
1t was Bailey's idea that we
might communicate with the folks
outside by means of the pipes.
First the steam pipe leading into
the engine room was tried. 1t
brought no response. Then we
pounded with a hammer on the
big water pipe. Maybe we were
not happy when back came an an
swering signal
We leave this to your magma
ton. We danced about in the dark,
arms around each other, like trio
of maniacs.
We had all kinds of trouble in
disconnecting the pipe, but finally
got it loose. Then we could talk,
but it was almost impossible to UNI
derstand Words came believing
in a tumble through the big pipe.
After that 1t was easy. We made
1t plain that We needed air and they
hitched up the fans to the pipe. We
had fresh air in jiffy. Then came
the first food supply. Maybe we
didn't eat. Then Bailey connected
the telephone wire to the other
cable and we were in touch closer
than ever with the world again.
From then on 1t was a case of
waiting. finding occupation as best
we might. We played cards; used
up a score of decks. but the cham
pionship Is still in dispute. We read
the papers and more novels than l
had ever seen before. We took
turns about on watch at the open
ing of the pump station, and used

will make a try for the north pole
