but now a resident of Ladysmith, is a
candidate for district attorney in Gates
county. Gates is the youngest county
in the state and if the people of that
bailiwick are looking for one who will
do the right thing at the right time
they should place Mr.. Carow where
he can go ahead and do things. For

NEWSPAPER RESPONDENTS
HAVE MUCH FUN WITH
PORTAGElTE.
is LED INTO A CRUEL SITUATION
Things Slaughtered Out in the End
Victim Groaned When the Light
Dawned.

When "Dan" Grady ,Uhe fiery young
insurgent of Portage, was in Denver
duri,ss the. recent Democratic conyen-
tion, he foregathered quite bit with
the newspaper men. One of the latter
had succeeded in forcing his way into
Denver home where there were a
couple of charming girls. The proud
, newspaper man introduced his friends,
and as Dan is rather personable, boast
ing wavy gray hair, which some girls
just dote over, he gave the lawyer a
chance to compete with the correspon-
dents for the favor of the girls. Mr..
Grady is bachelor.
Now, Mr.. Grady was thereby led in
to cruel situation. Those clannish
scribes had made up their minds that
though they would allow "Dan" to
'Etrail in' am bear as large part of
! the expense as he wished, they would
not let him "get too strong" with the
girls. Dan was ahit with "the skirts"
all right and things were sure break
ing fine fer him when the reporters
fell on him.
Twas a delightful evening. The pale
moon shown lambent and soft over the
mountains. A balmy breeze played
merry pranks with the f1irty frilleries
wherewithal those simple mountain
maidens were plentifully adorned. AS
has been said, Dan was sure gettin' on
fine. He was discoursing easily and
entertainingly and the ripping laugh
| ter of the girls bore eloquent tribute to
his ability to please. Story succeeded
story in his best vein land be it observed
that "Dan" Grady can tell a good story
when he tries. The newspaper men
had tears in their eyes and they hated
to do the bastard deed they had III
mind. But those two correspondents
are hardened veterans and they long
since have passed the periods in their
careers where their feelings have any
weight when work is to be done. Mr.
Grady had just concluded a particular
Iy clever bit of Irish characterization
and when the laughter subsidized one of
of the reporters laughingly slapped the
proud lawyer on the back.
"That was great, Dan" he said with
vast cordiality. 81 always liked that
story. Remember as well as if it hap
pened yesterday the first time [ heard
it. Do you remember that time [ came
out to Portage? Let's see, it was about
six years ago I think. [ met you that
afternoon and you asked me out to
your house to supper. Don't you
remember? Gee! l had bully time
that night, III never forget how Mrs.
Grady tried to founder me with the
swellest supper l ever sat down to"
"Mrs. GradyD' shouted the girls in
unison. Don't you mean Mr.. Grady S
mother?"
"Mother?" cried the reporter in
great surprise. swell, [ just wish
Mrs. Grady could hear you. No, in
deed, little one. [ mean Mrs. Dan
lGrady and mighty fine handsome

ACTION COMES AS THE RESULT
OF THE LOW PRICE OF ORE
OTHER REASONS
ABOUT so OUT OF EMPLOYMENT
Enough in the Stock Pile to Last
Money-Saloon Hit.
'From Thursdays DaTIy.)

The iron mine at North Freedom
closes down Saturday. The action
comes as the result of the cheapness of
ore. For some time the independent
companies have been getting in the
field until at the present time it is
cheaper for the trust to buy than to
mine
Besides, it may be the purposes of
the company to sink another shaft, but
nothing is known concerning this
point. In case another shaft is put
down it will be some distance to the
west or southwest.
At the North Freedom mines there
is enough ore in sight in the stock pile
TO last three months. This will be ship
ped to Chicago and while this is being
done new shaft may be put down but
this is not certain. Tn the old shaft the
ore is so far from the entrance that it
is no longer profitable to work. The
old shaft may be used to take down
timbers and other material for new
mine in case one is opened.
Nine or ten pumps are being re-
moved from the mine and placed in
building erected at the mouth of the
shaft. Two are left on the lower level
for future use.
Miners Without Money.
Some of the miners have already
gone to the lead region and other
places. Some with families have no
money and do not know how to get
away. Aformer emplOye of the mine
was in Baraboo and stated that one
miner wept bitterly because of his fam
lily when it was announced that the
mine would close but soon after he was
at the saloon spending what little he
had.
The saloon is hard hit. The town
board raised the license from 5000 to
S4OO which was recently paid. With
the closing of the mine,
business will be dull in the refresh
ment line.

OVERLOADED BOAT SINKS NEAR
BOAT LANDING IN VIEW OF
SPECTATORS
GAUSEO] BY STEAMER WAVES
@, n. Farnum Of Baraboo Saw The
Unfortunate Craft Shortly Before
The Accident

Drowned in the dells not far from
the bort landing, and in view Of hum
dreds oi spectators, was the fate THUS
day afternoon of four Chicago persons
of party of nine, coming from the
upper dells in a a gasoline launch.
The Chicag0ans had been stopping at
Schofeld cottage, on the banks of the
river in the Upper Dells, and had
taken the trip down the river with
Mr.. Wirtz, who is business man of
Kilbourn. The river is high and swift
as a result of recent heavy rains, but
the journey past the many points of
interest and through the narroWS had
been made in safety until the launch
reached the broad expanse of rushing
water just above the big power dam at
Kilbourn, where the docks are located.
The yacht, was heading for the dock
when the large excursion steamer
Apollo crossed in front of it, churning
the swiftly running water into aseeth-
whirlpool. Almost instantly the pilot
lost control of the launch, which was
tossed about like a cork and rapidly
filled with water.

Boat Quickly Sinks.

Boat Quickly Sinks.
1t sank almost Immediately and the
occupants found themselves strugg ling
in the waves. The launch was well
equipped with life preservers, but the
accident came so suddenly that none
of those on board lad opportunity to
take advantage of the safeguards.
The alarm was at once raised and
launches from the shore set out to the
rescue, while the excursion steamer
stopped and threw out ropes and life
preserVers.
Before the first of the launches had
with difficulty reached the spot the
four victims of the accident had gone
~ wn to death. The others, exhausted
and all but unconscious were dragged
into the relief launches and taken
ashore and it was not until their stOr-
les could be obtained that it was def
nitely known that four lives had been
lost.
Efforts were begun at once to recover
the bodies, but although it was $3.50
o'clock when the accident occurred, it
was almost dark before the bodies of
Mrs Heath and Miss Mabel Ward
were found. This morning the search
for the bodies of Mr.. Pfeiffer and his
son was still without result. The water
in the vicinity is treacherOuS and 1t
may be some time before the bodies are
found.
G.. H. Farnum and four others of
Baraboo in another launch passed the
party and noticed that the boat was
loaded very heavily. He said that
only few inches of the unfortunate
launch remained above the water and
the waves from the launch he was in
washed into the other. He said that
the launch was a sixteen fOOter and
that there were ten persons in the
boat. He says that he counted the
members of the party and noted the
bo which was supposed to carry five
persons was carrying nine. besides the
operator.
Those drowned were:
Emil G. Pfeiffer, Ralph Pteifer, his
son, 10 years old.
Miss Mabel Ward
Mrs. Esther Heath.
The bodies of Mrs. Heath and Miss
Ward were recovered below the dam,
