CORONER GIBBONS EIGHTY-THREE
Venerable Citizen Receives Congrat-
ulations on Passing Milestone.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Coroner George B. Gibbons was So
years old today. He received the con-
gratulations of his friends and gave
| the assurance that it would be a great
| pleasure for him to see the return of
| many more summers. In old England,
in the county Of Kent, February 20,
1925, Mr.. Gibbons was born. With his
father and mother, four brothers aad
two sisters, he came to America in 1881.
They landed at New York, March 81,
1881, went to Madison county New
York and remained there until 1851,
when the family established itself in
Milwaukee. Five years later Mr..
Gibbons came to Baraboo which has
since been his home except when he
was in the Service at the frOnt.At first
he was commissary sergeant in the 10Th
Wis. Inf. and later enlisted in the 4th
u. S. Cav. where he remained until
Oct. 8. 1866. He was discharged Oct. 8.
1865 at Jefferson Barracks, Mo.
Mr.. Gibbons has held many offices.
1e was sealer of weights and measures
four years, justice of peace, two years,
police justice two years, constable two
years, deputy sheriff under Martin two
years, and has been coroner for nine
years.
His father, like all English people
believed in long walks, and thou yht
nothing of measuring off eight miles a
day when up in years He died of heart
failure at SO. His grandfather lived to
be 95 and his greatgrandfather on his
mothers side was able to look back on
spal of 105.
Mr.. Gibbons was one of three broth
ers in the army. Of all the family the
venerable citizen of Baraboo is the only
one that remains.
March 20, 1852, was his wedding day
and Mary Pointon was the bride. They
still enjoy the sunshine of the years to-
gether.
Fifty-siX years ago yesterday Mr..
Gibbons became Mason and has been
a member of the lodge since that time.
Mr.. Gibbons and G.. q. Gollmar are
the surviving charter members of the
Bafaboo lodge.
Mr.. Gibbons planked down his first
presidential vote for William Henry
Harrison,a whig, in 1914 land when the
republicans came along he got in line
and has kept the pace ever since.

THREE DIE IN FORTNIGHT
Sad Calamity BefaIIs EIsing Home in
Prairie du Sac

Prairie du Sac, Wis.,, Feb. 18-Three
deaths in one family in less than a
fortnight is the remarkably sad record
that has befallen the Elsing family.
On Feb. 8, Mrs. William Elsing, Sr.,
died In this city of pneumonia. AT the
same time her sister, Miss Lizzie Mey-
er, also of Prairie du Sac, was battling
with the same disease and death
claimed her, too, Saturday. Yester-
day afternoon William, the eldest of
Mrs. Elsing's two sons, residing in the
own ofSumpter, ,also answered death st
call. lie took a severe cold while at
tending his mothers funeral a week
ago, his illness developing into typhoid
with fatal results.
There seems to be more illness in
and about Sauk City and Prairie du
Sac this winter than existed at any
one time in many years, and the death
rate has never been so great in this
vicinity.

SUPREME COURT
DECIDES CASE
THE MATTER WAS TRIED IN SAUK
COUNTY ABOUT YEAR
AGO.
PATERNITY OF CHILD INVOLVED
Judges Decides that Defendant Must
Pay For Support of Infant or be
Imprisoned.

On Wednesday at Madison the SUI
preme court decided that in the case of
the state of Wisconsin VS.. Joel Douglas
of LaValle, that the defendant must
pay for the support of the child or be
confined in Jail. 1t will be remem-
bered that the case was tried in the
Sauk County Circuit court about
year ago and at the time attracted wide
attention. There were many witnesses
from LaValle where the persons inter
ested in the case reside. The defend
ant was charged with the paternity of
child and in the jury trial it was de-
cided that Mr.. Douglas, the defendant
was responsible. The Judgment rem
dered by the court at the time was
based on the decision of the jury. The
defendant then appealed to the supreme
court and this tribunal affirmed the
decision of Judge Stevens.
1t is stated that it will cost the de-
fendant about 1000 for the support of
UAA' NAAAANA C1NA ICdUlIC vi
the case is that since the trial in the
Sauk County court the defendant has
married.
The families are all substantial citi-
zens of the village of LaValle and the
case has created considerable attention
in that part of the county. The costs
in the case come onto the defendant
also which is no small item on account
of its being in the court so long and
the large number of witnesses ca led
into the case.
James A. Stone of Reedsburg and
John A. Aylward of Madison were
the attorneys for the defendant, and
Grotophorst, Evans & Thomas of Bara-
boo were the attorneys for the plaintiff,
who won the case. She is about 19

ure of having few rides up and down
the river in a sail boat with Mr..
Locke's folks. The scenery is beautiful
and so are the apples and other fruits
that Mr.. Locke raises. We get plenty
of rain here at this time of the year,
but it is bright and warm today.
There is no snow except on the noun

for Pasco, Wash. Please send the

the fire had gained such headway that
almost nothing was saved. All of their

Indian Days in Sank
Head Man and His Chief.
By V. s. PEASE

This sometimes brought out extended
discussion, often lasting for days,
When all had spoken, vote was tax
en-, usually through tellers, who pass
ed through the assembly, one counting
the affirmative, the other the negative
votes. This action was final, for once
having been passed upon there was no
appellor reconsideration, and the an
nouncement of the vote by the Head
man made it the law of the Sauks.
These measures, as submitted to the
whole tribe, originated in the council
of chiefs, generally twelve in number.
Meetings of these functionaries were
held behind closed doors and were per-
ticipatedin by thefamilyof chiefs alone.
But after the proposed new law had
been discussed, amended and properly
licked into shape by the leaders in
secret session, a proclamation was is
sued calling the entire membership
into council to discuss and pass upon
it as related above.
A War Chief was nc more than any
other in these meetings. Only when
the war cry was raised did he come
into his station. He presided in the
councils of war, and if the issue came
to trial of arms, he led the braves
and warriors. Terms of peace he ar
ranged in the field, as commanding
general does among civilized folk, sub
ject to the approval of his people later
on in full council.
Soft is seen that the so-called savages
had civil and war departments in
their government the same as civilized
people.

PART FOUR.

Like many other families of aborigi-
nal people, the Sauks had Head-man
and War Chief. The Headman is
often called Peace Chief in the books
of early date, perhaps to the more
readily distinguish between the two
stations occupied in their political
affairs by the men elevated to the rank
of leadership. In the absence ola war,
the Head-man was deferred to in all
matters of internal policy. When a
cou neil was called, unless 1t was a
council of war, the Peace Chief pre-
sided. The people all assembled in
their accustomed place, the council
house in winter and an open square in
summer, and were seated on mats or
skins. At sign from the Head-man
all were silent, while he with bowed
head offered petition to the Great
spirit for guidance in the business at
hand. He then stood up and laid be-
fore his people the matter of business
or question of policy that had called
the council, often going into extended
details. In doing this the subject
sometimes gave the speaker opportuni-
ty for the play of the native eloquence
so commonly attributed to the red man.
1t is said that this matter of eloquence
had its influence in the selection of a
Head-man, although everything else
being equal, it was an hereditary po-
sition by common consent or selection.
After the business was fully set forth
an expression of opinion was invited,
and any person present, male or fe.
male, was entitled to express a view.

beautiful diamond ring by the en-
ployes of the Madison division. This

time in which he was master mechan-
ic. The honor of presenting the ring
was shared by the men of the whole
Madison division. Machinist G. @.
Lee made the speech of presentation.
Mr.. Huffman responded with ap-
propriate remarks expressing his ap-
probation of the gift.

chanic Osborne, and N. Riney also
spoke briefly.
The inscription on the ring was
