A good many of our readers, says the
EdgertOn Reporter, endorse the follow
ing excerpt from recent interview Of
J. NJ. Clancy of StoughtOn, we imagine:
1T cannot be denied that we have a
multitude of laws enacted for the sole
purpose of enabling political paupers to
obtain n dignifed living, and that we
have another brand which invites the
state TO poke is nose into every fellow =
business In my opinion the coming
statesman will not be "A preacher OF the
cries, an advocate of new methods of
taxation, an expounder of representa-.
tive government a bold agitator, but n
man who will promise to manage public
business ~ prudent man manages bis
own. Such man in the halls of legis-
lation and in the executive Office would
save approximately 81 600 600 a year to
the taxpayers of Wisconsin without in
the slightest degree impairing the useful
ness OF their government or its eifiic
ieucy."

Devils Lake, N. d., March o.
Hartley Shaffer pleaded guilty to
horse stealing here and was senten'
ced to four years in the penitentiary
Skaters case was an interesting one
all through this section and the state
had strong and carefully prepared
case. ~ There were eleven witnesses
for. the state from Mclean county,
where the defendant, it is claimed,
disposed OF the horses; these wit
nesses Identified shaffer as the man
who sold, and traded the Knauss
horses the day after they we're stolen.
Some Of these witnesses bought the
horses in question of man whom
they now identify as shaffer, the de-
fendant. Besides these witnesses the
state would have put F. C. Mcdonald,
one Of Skaters former associates, on
the stand to detail the story OF the
theft as told to him in October, 1905,
on an occasion of a visit to the Shat
fer farm. The witness says that
when going to Maddox with Shaffer
at that time, the latter drove past
the Knauss buildings and pointed out
to Just how the defendant; assisted
by Frank Schultz and Amos Wells,
teok the horses from Knauss' barn,
which was very near the house, and
the door Of which opened toward the
house. He was also to produce a
letter written to him b. the defend
ant about the matter Immediately az
ter the theft. The state would also
prove that in May, 1907, while in the
charge Of the sheriffs Of Benson and
Wells counties, the defendant secured
q rifle; stood of the posse and made
his escape. He was captured about
year later near Auburn, Washing
ton. ill.,.
AT Rugby, on the return trip, he
slipped of the handcuffs and shack
les, jumped out of his berth and
started to- run towards the car vesti-
hule, but was overpowered by Sher-
i'll Aker and his deputy and was fin
ally landed in Jail.

DOG TAX DEFEATED
A Lively Contention in the Police jury.
Sheep-killing Dogs.

One of the features of the Police
Jury's session today was the discussion
which followed the ordinance submitted
by Mr.. Mahlen providing the assess
ment of one dollar on each dog Ill the
parish, half of which the justice of the
peace or constable of each ward respec-
lively could retain on being collected.
1t was argued that if there are any
sheep-killing dogs in the parish that
such dogs should be killed regardless OF
their owner, but would a sheep-kllllng
dog, whose owner had paid the tax re-
quired, be. exempted from killing if the
dog killed sheep?
It was argued that there would be no
protection to sheep by licensing dogs
killing sheep, and the best medium OF
protection was to kill all dogs that kill
sheep.
The ordinance was defeated by vote
of seven to FIVE.
