THESE ARE REAL WOLVES.
No Nature Taking About the Ones
Found in This County.

Reports from different parts OF
the county indicate thar the num-
Der of wolves has increased TO such
an extent as to make them a
nuisance. Every night the slnmber
of the residents of North Lancaster,
Little Grant and neighboring town
Pshipe are disturbed by their howl
ing. *& .e
Their boldness is more apparent
this year than ever before and
several farmers have suffered losses
as the result Of their depredations
on their focks of sheep. One
farmer reports one of the skulking
brutes as icing so bold as to stroll
about his barnyard in the day time
as unconcernadly as if he were in
his natural baunts. However in
neigh borhOods were the farmers
own number of dogs the wolves
are kept on the move and lose their
boldness but add to their cunning.
Parties made up of neighbors
have put in a great many DAYS
hunting them. trying to rid their
respective communities of the
creatures. The wolves have been
too elusive for the nimrods as a
rule, and large parties have been
unsuccessful in many cases and have
succeeded only in wOunding them.
Individual hunters, however. have
met with better success and have
brought down a number of them.
1t used to he charged that county
hunters would allow female wolf
to go unmolested until che produced
a litter of cubs when the "wary"
hunter would swoop down upon
her, kill the cubs and take the
scalps to the proper authorities but
let the mother escape, thus 1nsuring
another litter for the next season.
Such is not the case now. Hunters
are hunting them seriously for they
know that they must be exterminat-
eG or the focks and herds will be in
constant danger. It is hoped that
they will succeed in their endeavors
to clean out the pests.

will be in the up stairs room of the
city hall. The arrangement for the

the executive committee to The
Woman's Club, and with their

pass them to be sampled, lecturing
while at work. She will encourage
discussion and will be glad to
answer any questions that may
come up. The Woman's Club will
assist in various ways and it is ex
pected that this feature of the
institute will awaken much interest

conducted last Saturday, and inter
ment was made at the cemetery al
Wing.
On April IA, 1880 deceased was
united in marriage to Martha E
Bushnell, and to this union can be
figured three additional births: Ell
wood G., Sylvia A. and Jennie E.,
all-of whom have been familiar fig
ures at the old. home since their
birth.
1t was in the early days that Mr..
McFall came to Wisconsin from the
east and settled on a farm in what
what is now known as Harrison
township. In 1851 the ''gold fever
became an inducement too strong to
resist, and an overland journey
was made to California, where three
ye ars were spent.
Upon the resignation of R. B..
Showalter as superintendent of the
Grant County Asylum and County
Home in 1883, Mr.. McFall, then a
prominent member of the county
board of supervisors, was chosen to
fill this responsible position. His
administration of years at these in
situations was an able one. Retir-
ing to private life, he was at once
called upon to represent his town
ship on the county boar1, position
he continued to hold for a long
term of years. His services were
valuable, his advice conservative
and his suggestions were always
given the consideration generally
accorded one one who took so prom
inent part in public afr airs as he.

Polnter for Hushands.

When you have married your wife,
you would think you were got upon a
hilltop, and might begin to go down
ward by an easy slope. But you have
only ended counting to begin mar
riage. Falling in love and winning
love are often difficult tasks to over
bearing and rebel1ious spirits; but to
keep in love is also a business of some
Importance, to which both man and
wife must bring kindness and good
will. The true love story commences
at the altar, when there lies before
the married pair most beautiful con-
test of wisdom and generosity, and a
lifelong struggle toward an unattain-
able ideal Upattainable? Aye, surely
unattainable, from the very fact that
they are two instead Of one.-R. L.
Stevenson.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
John S. Johnson Case up for the Third
Time at Milwaukee.

John 5. Johnson Case up for the Third
Time at Milwaukee.
Judge Clementson goes to Mil
waukee Monday to preside at a
case in circuit court, taking the
seat of Judge Brace who acquiesces
upon the motion of a change OF a
change of venue. tfss
The case to be tried has gained
statewide notoriety owing to the
fact that the approaching action
will be the third airing it has had
in the same court.
On August 10, 1904, In the city of
Milwaukee. the defendant, John S.
johnson, became engaged in an
alteration with neighbor, Patrick
Doyle, over some trivial matter.
Words led to blows and in the
melee which followed Doyle was
killed. Johnson's arrest naturally
followed, and in Judge Braces
court jury of his fellowmen found
him guilty of murder in the second
degree. The court was lenienG and
gave the prisoner the minimum
penalty for offense-14 years of
hard IL Dor at Waupun.
The defendant was incarcerated
and spent a year at states prison.
In the meantime his attorneys car
ried the matter up to the supreme
court, where a motion for 2 new
trial was granted.
Some of Judge Braces rulings
on the first trial did not rest well
with defendants counsel, and they
expressed demand in the custom
airy manner for another presiding
judge. Through courtesy Jugde
Clementson reluctantly responded
and tried the case. After a long.
tedious trial the matter was sub
mitted to the jury, but they failed
to come to an agreement. and now
the case will have to be tried all
over again, with Juega Clementson
once more in charge.

The city council went on record,
at its regular meeting, last Tuesday
evening, against the tramp feeding
industry in this city which was
shown uD by County Chairman w.
j. Brennan a short time ago. AL
derman Barnett introduced mo-
ton, in writing, to the effect that
the practice of committing, housing
and feeding tramps 10 avs at the
county Jail be condemned. The
mayor saia he would make it his
business hereafter to see that
Migrants were simply given a

In the morning without running up
a bill of expense against the coun-
ty." The mayor and members of
council discIaimed responsibility for
the state Of affairs shown up in the
Lancaster papers, and said the bills
had been incurred without their
knowledge.
It was decided to ask the county
to provide an enclosure, next fall,
where tramps can be set to work ON
a rOck-pile.
1t was voted to reduce the price

A TREMENDOUS
AUCTION SALE
Nick Adams Stuff Sold Well
Drew Large Crowd
Another Case Where Advertising Paid
Well--Total Value of Stuff
Close to $4,000.

One of the largest auction sales
ever held in Grant county was the
enc by Nick Adams, on what is
known as the Matthias Adams farm,
q miles south west of Lancaster
and q miles west of Hurricane, on
Wednesday of this week. Mr..
Adams put out $50 of the mammoth
1896 auction posters issued in the
Herald job rooms and also publish
ed half page advertisement and
half. column reading notice three in
sertions In the Herald, as we'll as
reading notices in three other papers
in the county, and as consequent
result of such judicious advertising
drew a very large crowd to his sale.
r. N. Hoskins, of Bloomington,
was the auctioneer and w. A. John
son of this city, clerk. The sale
started at 10 o'clock and at Ais 1T
was all over. the immense lot of
stock, mac hinery etc, had been sold
and the auctioneer was on his way
home.
In this sale were % head of horses,
$50 head of cattle. 80 head of hogs,
a lot OF hay and grain and an i'm
mense lot of high-class farm ma
chinery. Most of the things solo
well; the hogs brought Just about
market price, and the machinery,
much OF which was nearly new,
brought about 90 per cent of what
it cost when new.
The registered Clydesdale stallion,
Sir Richard 2OO3, was bought by
W. A. Gault, of Elizabeth, who also
bought 10 head of other horses. S.
]. Edge, who has leased the farm
formerly occupied by Mr.. Adams,
bought the best matched team of
gray mares for 1856. A registered
Clydesdale mare was sold to Lewis
Heiliger for $186, and the other
horses sold from $157 down. g
The largest buyer of cattle was
Attorney Harry Brown. of this city,
who is also largely interested in
farming and stock raising. He
bought about 20 head, which cost
him 1888. The next largest buyer
was Chas. Kuenster, of Cassville,
who got about 80 head for prices
ranging around $33 each. A num-
Der of young bulls were sold at
prices ranging from $50 each down
to SIS.
The total sale amounted to
50, 271-20 and Mr.. Adams held out
Al steers and 1000 bushels of corn
which, if they had also been sold
would have brought the total up
close to $4,000.
Mr.. Adams is a stronger believer
now than ever before that it pays to
advertise, and he always did have
plenty of faith in 1T.
