A Cure For Tramps.

The Mayor of a rural parish in
Westphalia appears to have discov-
cred a sovereign remedy for the
tramp nuisance. He began by at
taching to the local aImshouse a
night shelter where the homeless
wanderers could seek refuge. He
next posted notices round the town
asking the inhabitants to refuse aims
to passing mendicants, and at the
same time placed other notices at
prominent places on the outskirts of
the town informing those whom 1t
concerned that bed and food might
be had at the shelter In exchange
for a few hours work. The expert
ment has been complete success.
The number OF tramps in the district
has considerably decreased. and many
by being given agricultural work to
do at the shelter have learned to earn

WHEN CAT AND EAGLES MET.
Story Explaining Tabby's HomeeoR,.
Ing and Death Of Two Big Hlrds.

Some days ago two large eagles
descended upon the town OF Milo and
carried OF Bin. the big Persian cat
belonging to Mrs. l.. H. Ryder at
the Silver Lake. Hotel. No one ever
expected to see her again, but Mon
Jay morning she reappeared outside
OF Mrs. Ryder's window apparently
but little the worse for her expert
ence.
Some of the long fur about her
throat was missing and there we're
several scratches on her back. but
she was purring contentedly and has
taken her customary allowance OF
milk and sardines today without the
slightest difficulty.
The final act in the drama was un-
folded this afternoon when Dave
HUTCHINSON arrived here from his
Bee Pond camps with the bodies OF
two eagles which he found in the
Ten Mile Shanty road about FIVE
miles from here. The head of one
OF them had been clawed terribly
and the throat of the other had been
torn open.
That they both met their death at
the hand Of the cat there can be no
doubt. But how she managed to des.
patch them without herself sustain

terry which even Bill Mcbride, the

W. G. Haslem deputy game warden
of Appleton, was voluntary witness
before the senatorial primary inyesti-
CATION committee Saturday. He had
$62G of Stephenson's campaign money
which he used up in 81 days in Brown
county. His salary was figured at
5000. Asked as to the activity or
game wardens in the Stephenson cam
paign in comparison with past cam
paigns, witness said: "ln the past
campaigns of La Toilette we got the
fair-minded merchants interested; we
did not this time" Haslem said he
never spent a dollar of the states
money while doing political work.
Witness said La Toilette called him
to Madison when he was governor
and said he wanted to defeat Hage-
mister of Green Bay for state senator.
La Toilette and Chynoweth, the lat
ter a supporter Of La Toilette, asked
how much the campaign would cost.
On being told it would cost $500, wit

OF $3.50 later.

Davidson Tells Where $1,000 Went.

In an interview with GOV. Davidson
the state executive told of the Sl,20O
which Game Warden Stone, testifying
before the investigating committee at
Madison, said had been turned over to
the governor for his campaign fund.
GOV. Davidson's version of the Incl
dent is as follows:
"One day Mr. Stone came into my
Office in the capitol and he asked me
for an envelope. He then placed a
package of currency in the envelope
and left it lying on the table. When
ar explanation of this act was asked
Of Mr.. Stone, he replied:
ASK me no questions and | will
tell you no lies
"He said that he was in a hurry and
that he would not have time to make
any explanation and he left before he
could be further questioned. The pack
age was placed in the vault IN the
governors office with the intention of
leaving it there until Mr., Stone could
be seen again At the time the Incl
dent occurred a number of people
were waiting to see me and | had no
further opportunity to make immedi-
ate investigation.
Shortly after the money had been
left in the office l went out on my
campaign of the state, and although |
made several attempts to see Mr..
Stone | was unable to do so. Finally
after the money had been lying in the
Office for some time | decided to place
it in bank, and there it still remains
awaiting Mr.. Stones explanation. The
money was not used for the campaign,
Il never asked Mr.. Stone for any
money, for any campaign contribution
or for anything else. | never asked
him to raise any fund among the
game wardens for my campaign and |
knew nothing of it if such thing
was done. | never solicited money
from any employees of the state to be
used for my campaign fund.
