NEW TRIAL MAY
Be ASKED FOR

here today Sheriff Davis says Mel
mm does not act as one who fully
Irealized his position under the shadow

much and when spoken to about the
case laughs in half-witted sort of
way as one might when telling about
a trivial incident that had a humorous
aspect Nelum has no relatives in
Cairo. He was employed at some II
the clothes pressing establishments
before the tragedy in which he be,
came involved. He is about % years
old, understood and quite black His
manner is not that of a rowdy or
swaggerer as is that Of so many
negroes of the drifting class.
His case was still the talk among
groups at prhlic places yesterday.
one OF the jurors was quoted as hav
ing said that one argument which
persuaded those who at first were
for life imprisonment to come over
to the majority who were for banginaI
was that If he We're sent to the peni. |
Tertiary he would very likely be re-
leased in few years and come back !
among us to kill some one else. So |
many eonvicts We're being turned |
loose under the parole feature of the
law.
Sheriff Davis is net yet worrying
about the prospect of being called
lpon to perform a painful duty. He
says 1t is time enough to think about

LIGHT ON cousrYNoRnaL QUESTION
A Few Good Reasons Why the Institution
Should Remain in virOqua

Even if it were possible for any other
community to offer equal advantages
for the Vernon county training school,
Vroqua. as the county seat, would be
the logical location. The question of a
site, which is something any town
would donate literally toward, is not
the important question. The buying of
a location is not expensive, and is not
the real issue
The training school was established
for the avowed purpose of providing
trained teachers to conduct the public
schools of the small towns and country
districts. 1t was hoped that the proper
training OF these teachers would mean
that Vernon County would have better
teachers and better schools. If re are
really trying to so educate the teachers
for o.lr public schools that the children
of Vel hon county will receive better
instruction, we must consider more than
the one question of site whether do
mated in whole or part.
Actual conducting of classes of pupils
is an important phase of the training
normal students should receive. In
Viroqua they are working with large
corps of teachers who have had exper-
ience and state normal training. They
have opportunity to attend classes and
learn the value of manual training and
domestic science. At a nominal cost
they can secure advantages of a trained
vocal teacher. The normal students
have access to the best public library
in the county. They make much use of
this last named advantage and espec-
tally of the reference department in
working up material for debates and
literary work. The location of the
school here would make it easier for
the county superintendent of schools,
who resides here, to give the school
close personal attention. Being a lar
ger town Viroqua has more to offer
students in the lecture and entertain
ment line and in church advantages.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The high school took collection Mon
day to secure bulbs for the school yard
beds and for the table in the main
room. The collection amounted to
about nine dollars. To this the train
ing school added several dollars, thus
ensuring us fine lot of bulbs and we
hope flowers.
Gen. f. nj. Rogers gave most i'm
teresting talk to the ancient history
classes one day last week. After sew
eral weeks of study upon tie history of
Egypt, his talk upon Egypt and the
pyramids was warmly appreciated.
The two literary societies are organ
lied and at work The Boys Debating
club meets Monday evenings in the
main room. A splendid program was
presentek this week. All things prom
ise an excellent year for this branch of
school effort.

THIRD REGIMENT WINS PRAISE
Make Enviable Record In Indiana Army
Maneuvets-BandM Makes Good Too

Col Orlando Holway and his officers
of the Third regiment of Wisconsin
National Guard are greatly pleased ov-
er the showing made by the regiment
during the army maneuvers just closed
at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana.
From General Carter. who was in COM
mand of all the maneGvers, Col. Hol-
way received the gratifying informa-
tion that the Third had made the most
creditable showing of any regiment
that had participated there this year.
The Third regiment band was by long
odds the best band of several on the
grounds. Col Holway was greatly
pleased with their work and the fact
that they were chosen to give a concert
before General Carter's headquarters
spoke highly in their favor An of the
boys of the band had ample opportunity
to visit the city of Indianapolis some
twelve miles away. On one of these
visits Berli, Moore saw the final vote
taken by the assembly upon the county
option bill when it was passed in spec
ial session by vote 55 to 45. The SEN
ate had passed the bill few days pre-
vious by large majority. The intense
excitement and dramatic scenes incl
dent to the victory of the anti-saloon
measure will never be forgotten by
Berlie who was a fortunate spectator
Lack of space forbids our giving a
more extended account of the exper-
fences of our boys on the trip.

And Are Happily Married in Phoenix After Causing Parents Some Worry ss 70 Their Where
 abouts.

Miss Annie Simpkins and Marion Crismon quietly elOped Thursday aft ernoon. and were later married in Phoenix. The couple was accompanied
 by Miss Irene Blackburn and Charles Sweat
 The young people who are well and
 favorably known in Mesa had been paying much attention to each other for sometime past, and as to what req sons they had for eloDing. the parents are unable to fathom, as they had no serious objections to the marriage.
 Miss SimDkins left home Thursday afternoon, stating to her mother that
 she need not wory if she did not re- turn until late that evening The
 daughter did not return. and reports were soon current that Miss Simkins and MT. Crismon had been welded, but nothing definite could be learned until late Friday night. Yesterday 1t
 was learned that Mr. and Mrs. Cris- mon had returned from the Capital City and are now residing on the Cris- mon ranch in Lehi.
