QUEER CASE COMES
FROM BEAR CREEK
JOSEPH WILCOX LANDED IN JAIL
CHARGED WITH AN UNUSUAL
ASSAULT.

Joseph Wilcox of Bear Greek is
boarding at the Sauk county Jail and
thereby is attached a strange story.
From Wilcox it is learned that there
was a rumor in Bear Greek that two of
the pupils in the school being taught
by Miss Mary McPhillips at Loretto
were carrying revolvers. This is
against the law of the land and one of
the residents of the district appointed
Wilcox to search the boys and ex-
tract the revolvers, IF found upon them.
When Wilcox hove in sight to per-
form a humanitarian act the boys took
to their heels and the snow flew. In
due time one of them, Harold Scallon,
landed in tree top or. some brush
with Wilcox in close proximity. Will
cox was so close that he was able to
search the trousers of the lad and in
stead of bringing forth deadly re-
volver brought to light an iron bolt of
uncertain length that the lad was
carrying around in mis- pocket. Just
why Bear Greek boy should carry a
dangerous iron bolt is not explained
but in the scuffie or fall tits stated that
he received some scratches and Wilcox
was brought before the dignity of the
law.
The case came before Justice Adam
Leicher of Loganville and Miss Nc
Phillips with number of the pupils
were there to produce the testimony.
Justice Leicher found Wilcox guilty
of assault upon the youth, Scallon,
and fined him S1.O0 and costs or 80
days in Jail. The fine and costs
amounted to $3.50 which was mo re
than Wilcox was able to produce so
suddenly so he decided to try residing
in Baraboo. The fray took place Feb.
II, 1909, and Constable Colyin came to
town with Wilcox on Friday.

SAUK COUNTY
JEWELER IN JAIL
CHARGED WITH LARCENY FROM
A STORE OWNED BY JASPER
FISH

Joe Barnes is in jail. ae is charged
with larceny, the goods, including a
diamond, watch and other jewelry
from the store of Joseph Fish atReeds-
burg. Barnes came to Reedsburg
some months ago and was employed
by Mr.. Fish as his jeWeler. Barnes
boarded at the Stolte house and had
become we'll acquainted in the Second
City.
On Sunday, FebrU arY 21, he went to
Chicago and said he would be back on
Tuesday. He did not come and Mr.
Fish understood he would return on
Friday. In the meantime Mr.. Fish
could not locate some of the property
in the store and sent an officer after
Barnes. Constable Edward Stolte
went to Illinois, procured requisition
papers, and found Barnes in whole
sale jewelry store. Barnes expected to
come on Sunday, but instead of COM
ing alone Mr.. Stolte accompanied him
on Saturday night to Baraboo and is
now in Jail.
It is also stated that some of those
around the hotel have missed small
sums from time to time, but there is
no certainty as to who took the mon
ey. The amount gone is about 5000.
The officers also state that there is
woman in the case.
Barnes is a comparatively young
man, dark hair, well dressed, neat in
his habits, and without beard He
is an easy talker.
The amount of money missing is
$500 and the value of the jewelry
taken is about $4,000 or S125.OO in all.
District Attorney John A. Malone is
prosecuting the case. Constable E. q.
Stolte of Reedsburg accompanied the
prisoner from Baraboo to Reedsburg
where the case was begun in Justice e.
F. Sheldon's court, where an adjourn
ment was taken to March IL. Const able
Stolte returned with Barnes to the
Count Jail at Baraboo.

MINISTER MAY
UMPIRE GAMES
THE IRONTON PASTOR SAYS THAT
THE DEVIL WAS LICKED TOA
FRAGILE IN HIS CASE.
SAID IRONTON is DEAD IN SIN
Young Pastor Considered FavorabIy
by rIany Friends-Some Disagree
With Him.
SAID IRONTON is DEAD IN SIN

In the case of Rev. A. E. Friedrich
at Ironton, it has been decided that
it is all right for him to umpire basket
ball games. The Milwaukee Free
Press says:
"The young pastor, whose work has
been marked by remarkable progress
in that territory, could not have been
more completely vindicated. w. p.
Vance, district, superintendent of the
Lacrosse district, met with the church
board to consider the case of the young
minister who had officiated at basket
ball contest, which did not meet with
the views of some of the old-fashioned
Methodists of Sauk county. After
listening to the story, Mr.. Vance de-
clined even to entertain charges
against Friedrich, and he praised the
young pastor in the strongest terms.
ellis work here has been remarkable,
Mr.. Vance declared. "I would not
think of permitting prejudice TO hurt
him. / am proud of Mr.. Friedrich,
and he will most certainly continue
his work at Ironton."
Rev. Friedrich said:
ST expected this exactly. God has
stood by me; the devil is licked to
frazzle'
Ironton Dead Because OF Sin.
The Madison Journal says:
"Rev. Friedrich was sent back to
lronton for his second year by Bishop
Neeley at the annual conference held
at Ashland last September. In gener-
al he has been we'll liked and has been
exceedingly popular with the younger
generation. The older people have
also considered him favorably, al
though it Is said he preached too
fiercely for some of them. He has
particularly aroused their ire by say.
ing that Ironton is dead, and dead
because of sin. No one denies that
Ironton is dead, but no one will admit
that it is dead for that reason. Rev.
Friedrich has been declared to be too
fast for the town. There is a little
truth in his statement, however,
that the twentieth century has not
vet dawned in Ironton. His style of
preaching is distinctly evangelistic.
His sermons cause continual sensa-
tions and never has the church been
so filled with people as since he has
been pastor"

Growth Of Dairy Industry In state.

jackson, Miss, May 25.-Evidence
OF the growth of the dairy industry in
Mississippi is found In the fact that
the railroad commission has Just been
called on to make rate by which
milk and cream may be shipped from
one town to another at a prO6it.
There are hundreds Of dairies in the
State, but the great majority OF them
cater only to local trade, and have
heretofore never felt the Importance
OF having express rates that will en-
able them to do business in neighDor-
ing cities and towns.
President Lee of the railroad COM
mission has taken hold Of the matter,
and finds that milk has been shipped,
when shipped at all, as vegetables, or
farm produce, and at rates that are
confiScatory, especially when passing
through the hands of two express com
pandes. He is now working on rate
for milk and cream that will be sub
mitted to the express companies in
an effort to get them to make a rea-
sOnable rate without any orders from
the commission. In order to do that
he has found 1T necessary to cut the
rates that have been applied 10 dairy
products heretofore in twain, and will
see what can be done.
You would be surprised" SAYS
President Lee, lat the amount of milk
that is shipped over the railroads
these days. Down here at Hatties-
burg, they do not seem to have any
dairies-if there are any there they
do not begin to supply the demand,
and a great deal of milk is shipped in
there Some of this milk comes from
away down about Port Gibson and
Hermanville, around by Jackson per-
haps, and over two or three different
Lines of railroad, paying about $3.50
per 100 pounds, which is more than
milk can stand"
The rates prepared have been care
fully figured out, and will be sub
mitted to the express companies be-
fore offered ito the commission for
adoption
Courtesy, like charity should begin
at home. OF course one does not ex-
pect to find the same degree of cere-
mony practiced there as the formal
ties of mere acquaintance Ship exact,
but there certainly should not be less
respect and Difference paid to those
who are nearer and dearer to US, than
to outsiders. The man who is a gem
tleman in his home and among those
who comprise his immediate house
hold can be trusted to do nothing
unbecoming to gentleman when be-
yond the precincts of home; but the
man who is courtesy itself when
abroad is oftentimes the ver;est boor
within the confines of his own dwell
ing place. Such man may pride him
self ON being a gentleman; but he is
deficient in the elementary instincts
of the true type, and is consequently
somewhat akin to counterfeit that
has obtained more or less circulation
among the uninitiated, but is never
theless a spurious coin, the worth
lessness Of which will he discovered
sooner or later.

Good Humor Priceless Boon.

There is but little doubt that good
humor is a priceless boon. 1t is the
Gil that smooths many a rough place
I'M life which otherwise would be very
hard shedding. A man who can smile
at misfortune and the mistakes he has
made i'm life, and has the courage to
correct them and work manfully to
make amends, has that in him which
deserves success in the end. III
hMmor sulks in its tent. The sun
never shines bright enough to drive
away thhe clouds of gloom which con-
tinually surround it, 1t has snap
and sffarl for any who may attempt
to point out a better way or offer a
crumb of comfort in case of real
need. Good humor rises to the &C.
caSion and meets misfortune with a
smile, however much the heart may
be pained, forgetting its OWN heart
pains by lending a helping hand to
those less fortunate Good hnmor is
a fortress, strong tower, where the
possessor may flee to gather strength
for a renewed battle with difficulty
and danger. Good humor is simply
invincible. A man who laughs at mis-
fortune and sets his face braveIy to
do the right as God has given him to
see 1t is worth more t0 the world by
far than the snarler who sets down
amid a broken fortune to beTnOan
his fate and make life a wilderness
of woe for every one within hailing
distance.
