WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Madison, May 18.-Tne governor

IA. requiring that every village shall
constitute a separate road district.
In his IN, sage the governor point
ed out that if his bill became law
it would place the burden of building
bridges, either on plated or implanted
portions OF the village, entirely upon
the village, where prevailing statutes
provide that where a bridge is con-
structed connecting a village and town
the expense shall be equally divided
between the two.

CLAIM STRIKERS
WERE LEGITIMATE
| SKINNY MkDDEN'S ATTORNEYS
PRESENT GREAT MASS OF
TESTIMONY.
DEFENSE WILL ATTEMPT TC
DISPROvE TESTIMONY THAT
MONEY WAS ACCEPTED.

Chicago, May pa new tack vas
taken yesterday in defense of Martin
B. Madden, and his union labor asso-
ciates in their trial for alleged &C
ceptance of money to settle strikes il
the building trades of this city.
Instead of resting the case with a
few witnesses, the attorney for the Ia
Dor men began the Introduction of q
great mass Of testimony bearing upon
the legitimate nature of the strikes in
question. They hope by a prepon-
derance of evidence to disprove the
testimony of George S. Andres and
other contractors that tn paid Mad
den or his represent yes various
sums to call off the skies. P. Z.
Miller, of the Cyclone Blow Pipe
company, testified that his firm began
work in the Joseph Klicka plant a
month before the strike, which it is
alleged was settled by the payment
OF $1,000 to Madden. Miller's firm
is said to employ non-union labor and
this TACT is alleged by Madden to
have caused the strike.
Several members of the executive
board of the sheet metal workers
union told of grievances against the
Klicka firm.
Members of other unions gave tes-
timony as to the trouble over union
matters at the Klicka plant and two
witnesses who were present when
Klicka's attorney, Andres, had the
interview with Madden, denied that
any money passed between the attor
ney and the labor leader. Testimony
for the defense probably will not be
concluded before the middle of next
week

these!"

So when the shoeing was done
the king threw down a silver coin
on the anvil to pay for the work,
and what did the blacksmith do but
break the coin in two with his
strong fingers.

The king threw down another coin,
and the blacksmith broke that, and
five more. one after the other as

The king was much crestfallen

Then he rode away, leaving the
