GET HIGH CLASS STOCK.
Marathon County Farmers Buy Full
Blooded Cattle and Pigs from
Insane Asylum.
WAUSAU, wis, July 29.-IS

WAUSAU, Wis, July 20 Special !
Supt, Joseph RoohI, Jr.. Of the Mara
thon County Insane asylum has insti-
tuted plan whereby the farmers of this
county are supplied with full-blooded
stock and grains adapted to this climate
at market prices. During the sprin.
about 100 young pigs ami several head
of cattle were sold to Marathon county
farmers. but the demand is still far in
excess of the supply. Tho stock is sold
at market prices, SO that the farmers
may replace their scrub stock with full
bloods without any financial loss. 1t is
hoped in this way to ultimately have
nothing but high grade stock in the
county. Grains are supplied on the same
basis and the demand is strong This
year the management is experimenting
with a grade Of barley which, it is
claimed, will sprput in six days. Mr..
Rochl said the crop looked good and a
big yield is expected.

"AN AGGRAVATED OFFENSE."
These Are Words Used by Judge Dono-

Before Him.
YOCKEY PLEADS FOR LENIENCY.

MADISON. Wis, July 3l.-[Spe
cial. Found guilty of perjury last Fri
day afternoon, Frank 7. Wagner of
Milwaukee was this morning sentenced
to serve three years in states prison
at Waupun. Judge Donovan, in speak
ing sentence, referred to the case as an
aggravated offense,' and the district
attorney asked that the extreme penalty
be imposed.
When asked by the court if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced, Wagner arose from
his seat and standing before the Judge
made reply. He read from written
statement which he said he had prepared
in order that there would be no mistake
as to his meaning. He said: II have no
apology to offer to this court TO the
senatorial investigation committee or to
anybody connected with this case Tor
what | have said or done. Were | OF
tered immunity or freedom to repuulale
that testimony | would refuse it. |
would rather be at peace with my Goa
and Maker and be in prison, and am
not DESTROYS of going there either.
Jockeys Motions Denied.
When court opened, Attorney 1ockey
offered two motions, one that the find
ing of the jury be set aside as contrary
to the law and evidence, and the other
for a stay Of sentence because certain
points of law were involved which the
supreme court has never passed upon.
Both We're denied.
Mr.. Iockey made n short plea for
leniency. He said other men had com
mitted perjury before the investigation
committee. but Wagner was the only
one WHO was unfortunate enough to be
Arrested for it. rar vs. -
Il still believe the story Of this de-
PENDANT is true in its main points, he
said. Senator Marsh told me Friday
night that Wagners story was still true
in its main points,
An Aggravated Case.
The district attorney replied that he
did not believe Senator Marsh had been
correctly quoted by counsel and that he
did not believe that a story like NaG-
ner's could stand up. Mr.. Mason added,
1T is a most aggravated case. In adj
dition to the palpable misstatement of
facts, there was further oflense in
speaking falsely against the good name
of five reputable men"
Here Wagner said in reply to the
statement OF the district attorney i'll re-
gard to the character of these other men,
Il wish to state that my character is as
good as theirs" Wagner was taken to
Waupun at l O'CLOCK today. BY good
conduct he will be released after serving
two years and six months.
