Will Have to Erect Guide Posts.

One of the last bills signed by
Governor Davidson provided for the
erection of suitable and appropriate
sign boards along all main travel
ed highways. The law makes it COM
pulsory for the town boards to do this
and also to keep the sign boards in
repair.
On them in black Roman letters
two and one-half inches high is to be
painted the names of adjoining or
important towns, villages or cities
to and through which the highway
leads, the distance in miles to such
places, and any indication or direc-
tion which will be helpful to the
traveller.
Guide posts are badly needed all
over Grant county, and this law will
be welcomed by every good citizen.

WARRANTS AGAINST GUARDS
Bickford and Boyd Charged with
MansIaughter Following Probe OF
Smiths Death at Reforma-
tory in Green Bay.

Green Bay, July ga warrant was
issued by Municipal Judge Monahan
for the arrest of o. E. Bickford and
Frank Boyd of the Green Bay reforma-
tory. charging them with manslaugn-
ter following the verdict Of the jury in
which it was found that the death OF
John Smith was due to cruel and in
human treatment received at the instl-
tuition.
The coroner's jury which has been
investigating the case OF John Smith,
found dead in bed at the reformatory,
returned a verdict in which certain
of the institutions attaches are direct
ly blamed.
An investigation by the state board
of control is recommended by the jury,
which fayed Assistant superintendent
Bickford and Guard Frank Boyd for
their alleged cruel treatment of Smith
and severely criticised the methods OF
medical attention at the establishment.
The jury's verdict was:
1--WE find that the death of John
Smith was caused by acute nephritis,
UIOuSuI OA ny VI uO4 anu u cav
ment ordered by Assistant Superin-
tendent o. E. Bickford and executed by
Guard Frank Boyd in most cruel and
inhuman way. We further find that
the medical attention and examination
were inadequate in every way, for had
he been given proper medical care,
which the testimony shows he had not
received, he would not have been put
to such punishment and work which
he was required to do while he was
at the state reformatory.
1--WE further find that had Superin'
tendent G. w. Bowron made a more
careful investigation of the mode of
the punishment received by John
Smith, this jury is satisfied that the
above would not have happened. We
recommend that the Wisconsin board
of control investigate the system of
punishment at the Wisconsin state re-
formatory."
1t was announced later that the
board would make such an investiga'
ton at once.
