The annual exhibition of the
Southwestern Poultry Assn. will be
held in Dodgeville the first week in
January. Doubtless many from this
county and immediate vicinity will

Hugh Kehr, of Dubuque, pleaded
guilty before Judge Goodsell yester-
day to the charge of manslaughter in
the fourth degree and was sentenced
to nine months and twenty days in
the county Jail. 1t will be remem-
bered that Kehr was the driver of the
buggy that ran over and killed Jacob
Peryon on the road from Kimbeli' s
Park to Dubuque several weeks ago.
The three other occupants of the
buggy, John Glass, Rose Meighan,
and Phyllis Wortley were also ar
rested on the same charge as the driver
and are awaiting trial.
The following stock shipments
were made during the past week ;
Wednesday, John Dobson- one car

large during the past week both by
freight and express. Large shipments

John Rumble met with bad &C.
cident early Saturday morning while
engaged in his duties at the railroad
yards. Since the razing of the old
round house and while the new one is
being completed it has been necessary
to do all the work of cleaning, keep
ing up fire in the engines ETC., out of
doors. The men are very much in
convenienced by this arrangement and
it was perhaps, due to this. that Mr..
Rumble was hurt. He had just taken
a heated poker out of the engine, had
put it aside and leaned down to pick
up some wood. When he arose he
struck his head against the poker, the
heated part inficting very painful
burns in and about his left eye. A
ply stefan was instantly summoned
and he found the injury extremely
serious. Not only had the flesh close
to the eye been burned badly but the
eyeball itself was blistered. The

Rev. Inner, the Methodist
minister who formerly lived in Fen
nimore. dropped dead )ast Saturday in
Dodgeville. Heart failure was given
as the csuse of his death. Rev.
INNER was on hisway from La Crosse,
Wis, to his home in Illinois and had
visited in this city with his daughter
who attends school here and also with
friends. 1t seems that his death was
not altogether unexpected as short
time previous he had given instruc-
tion to acquaintances on the train as
to what steps to take, who to notify
etc., in case anything should happen
to him. He had stepped off the train
just a few moments before he fell
dead
John e. Carroll and Daniel
Bowler, we'll known throughout this
section asyagents of the Western Land
Company, are in serious trouble. 1t
seems that they came down to Prairie
du Chen from La Crosse and after
Turing Atty. Alex. Athey to room
in the Dousman House, attempted to
extort money from him, finally as
saulting the man. He, of course,
swore out warrant for their arrest
and they were taken before County
Judge ]. W. Graves, of Prairie du
CHEN. After a preliminary examina-
tion the court bound them over to ap-
pear at the May term of Crawford
County circuit court. They produced
the necessary bonds of 81, 900 each and
were released flom custody. The
trouble is said to have risen over the
foreclosure of a certain mortgage.

new FACTORY
NOW RUNNING
Building is Not Completed. But
Machinery Has Been Tenn
porarily Placed.

The new plant of the Lumbermans'
Manufacturing Company is nearing
completion. In fact the big building
would have been completed several
days ago, but for the non-arrival of
several carloads of steel for the con-
struction work.
In the meantime, however, Manager
Williams is not idle. In order to meet
the demands of customers who have
placed advance orders, several ma.
chimes have been temporarily installed
under the old sheds and a number of
workmen are now busy.
This factory will take over the bust.
ness of the old cross arm factory. II
will also manufacture a variety OF
wooden novelties, boxes, crates and
similar articles.
Mr.. Williams states that he will
employ at least fifty men from the
start. This number will be gradually
increased and he expects to be able to
give remunerative employment to
nearly twice that number before the
end of the year.

negro CHICKEN Thief
GETS Term ON Street

Nose Sloan, colored, was before the
police justice this morning on the
charge Of stealing four chickens from
Mr.. r. B, Harris, and as a result for
Moses fondness for chickens of an
other, he will pay a fine of $40 and
spend ten days in Jail.
The case against the negro grew out
of another case tried several days ago
in which Polly Graves, colored, was
found guilty Of receiving stolen goods.
Polly bought the chickens from Nose,
and it was the theory of the court
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-01-22

that she knew they were stolen at
the time. On her trial Polly told
where she got the chickens, but Nose,
for the time being, was nowhere to
be found, but the mill of the court like
the mills of the gods, grind slowly, but
exceedingly fine, and it was not long
before Nose was in the tolls of the
law.
Carrie Owens, another colored wo
man, was in court, charged with re.
failing, but on account of the absence
of a very material witness for the
city, the case was postponed.
