Of nursery orders with Norton, who

This afternoon Mr.. Foley and De-

It was Dec. when Mr.. Foley first
got track of the crookedness of this
salesman. Before he could get in line
to arrest him, Manuel, alias Smith,
disappeared, after forging orders to the
amount of $500, it is claimed.
The man had the appearance of hav-

Vision of Beauty.

There was an exquisite vision of
beauty on Sunday after the storm on
Friday and Saturday. On every tree
and shrub whereon the crystal snow
had gathered there was scene OF de-
light for the beholder. The sky was
cloudless and the January sun was
never brighter. The streets became
long avenues of embowered lovellness,
inviting the possessors of cameras.
Not in many years has there been
such genuine picturesqueness after
storm.

(FrOm Saturdays Da1ly.)
The few days Of most attractive near
spring weather were interrupted Thurs
| day when the rain began to fall stead
ily. Thursday evening the rain turned
to snow, with little or no change OF
temperature. Friday morning six or
eight inches of snow lay on the ground.
The song of the snow shovel, accom-
panied by the meloQiOus swish OF
broolns was heard on all sides. The
temperature lowered during the day;
the snow kept falling, and the wind
increased. Reports were brought in of
wires down and trains delayed Friday
evening and night were the worst That
this town has experienced in years.
Snow sifted in and through where it
never slfted before. The newsboys on
their trips in the evening struggled
bravely around, over and through
drifts that threatened to bury them,
while the wind howled binding snow
in their faces at every step. This morn
ing came the report that trains from
the south were some ten or twelve
hours delayed. The thermometer
registered below (zero.) The wind
still howled but the snow was mostly
on the ground.
On the Road none of the nighttrains
bound south had arrived in Baraboo
by noon today. They were stalled in
various places and wires were down in
ali directions. Beyond Dane they
are reported down as far as Evansville.
Yesterday morning train due at 6:2O
arriving from the north on time did
not get to Madison until 1890. The
train from the south due at 8:55 ar
rived at 1:5O, the same time the train
going south arrived. The train from
the south due at 2:05 arrived about an
hour late and was tied up for the night
at Kendall.
This morning train due at 2:3O, north
bound, arrived about 500 o'clock.
The 8:55 arrived at 11:3O with two ice
covered engines. It is the worst storm
since 1904 Dec. q. More snow fell
at that time and possibly that storm
was some larger than this. 1t will
be remembered as the time when the
old court house burned.
Jesse Cook left Baraboo in lumber
wagon Thursday, when the weather
was balmy, to get load Of household
goods which he is moving from Plain
vile to Baraboo. The storm came on
and when last heard from by telephone
he was still at Plainville, IA miles
north of Kilbourn The team he
hired was from Sherm Luce's livery.
The rural carriers made their trips
Friday, but were not able to make a
complete circuit, with the exception of
Ed, Bump.
Stage driver Ramsey of Kilbourn
made his trip as usual and not much
late, although he found many big
snow drifts;
DR.. Irwin met big snowdrlft OF
impossible proportions and returned.
He made the second trial this after
noon.
A number of farmers, who found
themselves in town last evening, de-
cided to stay until today on account OF
the gale.

came known, Marshall J. E. Buckley
recalled that he had a description OF
the forger and found the circular at
the city hall. The circular was from
Thomas Tyrrell, chief of police of Wau-
kegan, ILL.,, and to him The News ap-
piled for the newspaper cut and turth-
er particulars. The officer replied at
once by kindly sending the cut which
appears in this issue and also stated
that if there was anything he could do
he would be glad to lend his assistance
He says that they have sent out over
1000 circulars of the fellow known
as William l. Beck and in Sauk county
as William Saddler. The chief of
police will be glad to know if the
Sauk county officers have any luck.
Relative of Griggs Bros.
It develops that when Saddler, with
many assumed names, worked his
game at Waukegan that Henry Wedge
was the victim and lost $4,000 This
occurred some time last summer. Mr..
Wedge is a retired farmer at Wauke'
gan and is a cousin of r. B. and J. S,
Griggs, the clothiers, of Baraboo.
His Method of Working.
According to the circular sent out by
Chief of Police Tyrrell, Saddler's
method of working is as follows:
ga short time after arriving in the
County, he will look up farms that are
for sale, usually some distance from the
county seat. He tells the farmer that
he is a widower and is buying the farm
for his son, or some other relatives with
whom he intends to live. He asks him
if there is notary public near there
who can acknowledge the papers that
are necessary to be drawn. Learns there
is notary at the village near the farm
He then asks the farmer if he has an
abstract of his farm and gets, If possl
BILE, the loan of it,saying that he wants
his lawyer to look it over. he then per
suades the farmer and his wife to g
with him to the notary at the village
and induces them to give him either
power of attorney to sell the land TO
them or to sign an agreement to sell th'
land to HIM upon the payment of Ger
tain price, usually very good one
This power Of attorney or contract Il
then acknowledged by the farmer ant
his wife, before the notary, who sign
his name to the acknowledgment, anC
places his seal thereon. After getting
this seal, he either makes or has mad
