BACK FROM CANADA
Attorney Daniel RuggIes Has ReturE~
ed from the Great Northwest
Reports of Conditions

Attorney Daniel Ruggles has return
ed from Calgary, Canada, where he
went last week accompanied by Mar
vim A. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson remained
and will continne farther north as far
as Edmonton, and will probably spend
several months in that country.
The weather during Mr.. Ruggles'
stay there was pleasant most of the
time. The farmers have been seeding
for two weeks. Wheat is about all in
and the planting of oats and other
grains has begun.
Attorney Ruggles and Mr.. Wilson
inspected the irriga ated lands of the C..
P. r. located for 14O miles this side of
Calgary. The farmers who have been
located for two or three years are pros
porous and have good buildings. The
land is much like that onSauk prairie,
although somewhat heavier.
AS rule there is no snow in Canada
at present.
At Banf, 80 miles from Calgary,
there are sulphur springs where peo
pie bathe the year around. The tenn
perature of the water is SO degrees and
and the picture Of people bathing
when snow on the bank is five feet
deep is peculiar.
Calgary has population of $4,000,
has three dailies, streets naturally
paved, and is big distributing point.
The International Harvester company
sold during last year a million and a
quarter dollars worth of agricultural
implements.
There are two vaudevilles and three
or four picture shows. The slides for
the illustrated songs come from the
United States and manyssOf the songs
sung are United States. They fire.
quently.close the program by singing
America.
The town is also provided with a
monster skating rink, a fine race
track, base ball cricket and polo parks.
The snow capped rockies are in sight
and withal it is town with many at.
fractions. Not the least of these is the
optimistic exhibition of physical ener-
gy along all lines of work.
Attorney Ruggles was delayed on
his return trip by wreck ahead OF

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM ACCIDENT
MAN IN FAIRFIELD HAS
AN EXCITING RUNAWAY WITH
FOUR HORSES,

B. F. Thomas, president of the Fair
field Creamery company, was in Bar
abooFriday and gave the particulars of
an exciting runaway which his son,
Peery, experienced a few days ago.
He was driving four horses abreast to
a large disc harrow when the animals
became frightened and ran toward the
house. The young man set the
machine and the earth flew faster
than it ever did in the Panama canal
zone but the team tore along neverthe-
less. The driver was in great danger
for if thrown in front Of the harrow it
meant a fatal accident. He held fast
until the seat broke and he was thrown
to the ground fortunately to the rear of
the wheels or discs Of the harrow and
without injuries. The four horses ran
a short distance intending to pass
through gate when one of them fell
and the others stopped. The driver
soon had them under con troll. 1t was
very narrow escape and Fortunate for
the driver. It is not known what
frightened the horses.

The Bank of Baraboo is installing a
new system of electrical vault protect
ion and public demonstration of the
same will be made as soon as the work

of drill, or any explosive; or the
turning of the door handle or lock will
result in the ringing of immense
gongs, located about the building.

Law Cases of Much Int crest DispOs-

Justice Hathaway's court was one
of the busy places in town last Tues
day afternoon, and business was done
there in a short time that will be re-

and that will be a lesson TO others who
might otherwise have a desire to break

II. S. Davies, Bob. Davies and Otto
Fingerhut were brought before the
court by Marshal Utendorfer on war
rants charging them with 'engaging
in and abetting fight" in the village
of Spring Green on April 26th.
The judge made an assessment on
each member of the trio as follows: H.
s. Davies, $1,000 and costs; Bob Davies,
$25. and costs; Otto Fin gerhut, $1,000
and costs. The reason the last-named
got off for a less amount than the
others was because he appeared to have
been drawn into the engagement,
which took place near the saloon OF
George Haas, without any desire or
intention on his part of going into
battle. But with Bob it was different,
he appeared TO be "spiIing' for fight,
having engaged in another set to after

To officers the trio denied all know
ledge of any crime, stating that no
child had been born and that they
never disposed of any babe and knew
nothing about the matter. Friday
morning the girl, Mary Reabuck, who
appears to be about half-witted,
stated that she had been the mother
of baby and if the officers would
take her to her home at Lone Rock
she would show them where the child
had been buried. Acting under this
information, Sheriff Hoke III company
with District Attorney Bunham and
Coroner Nee took the girl t) Lone
Rock. She led the officers to an old,
weather beaten barn and pointed out
a corner where she stated that the
babe had been buried. Digging fer
the small body was commenced and
after a search of about half hour the
remains were found, buried under two
and one half feet of dirt. During the
digging the girl stood by watching the
operation with evident interest and
gave directions where to dig. The
body of the babe was found under
about thirty inches of earth and was
located after digging over consider
able space. The body was that of a
fully developed child and weighed
seven and one-half pounds.
The body had been put in the
ground without any covering, simply
dumped in the earth like dead cat,
without the least care. No box or
even a cloth had been used to protect
the small body from the earth. The
body was in good state and no oevi-
dence of any violence cou'd be found
on the remains. After bringing the
body to the surface the dirt was
washed from it and the remains laid
on a rough board to await the sum-
moning of a coroner's jury.

Doctors Examine Body

A coroner's jury composed of A. J.
Dickerson, ,GeorgeBeardsley ,Freal DeX-
ter, Frank Holly and Bert Davis were
summoned and viewed the body, Drs.
P. G. Lasche, of this city, and George
Jameson, of Lone Rock, performed an
autopsy on the body. They explained
to the jury that by taking out the
lungs and putting them in water it
could be determined if the child was
alive at birth or dead. If the lungs
would float in the water the child had
at one time breathed,i if they would not
float the child had never breathed.
The lungs were taken out and when
placed in water they foated around
like cork. This test satisfied the doc
tors that the child had been born alive
and that it had died from unnatural
causes. The coroner's jury then ad
journed until Wednesday morning
when they will return a verdict.

'Tnter- esting! you just bet it will be-" ex. claimed the newspaper man, who re- membered long months of close associa. tion with the "profesh" as press agent and gleefully conjured up elab- crate pictures of the strenuous kanga- roo court. "We can fix it nicely" added the vengeful one. The Thespians kept the appointment to the minute. Deputy Sheriff Rawlings was all smiles when he opened the iron grated door and told them to call when they were ready. The former press agent assumed a graceful attitude on the safe side of the bars and settled down to see the fun. Flournoy looked like bishop as he stalked into the interior of the place of punishment; Lee had on sympa. thetic look that would have moved the gallery gods to quit chucking peanut debris. "Naco Bill" appointed him. self committee of reception and met the visitors at the. door. He told all about himself and all about all the oth. CTS. Lee was almost sobbing; Flornoy was austere and grave, but kind. The prisoners circled about them, surveying them from every side, but not one had the heart to sing out the fateful [" Hear Ye!' that presages a session of the kangaroo court. The strangers did look so confoundedly impressive. They parted from "Naco' Bill with few words of brotherly advice and tenderly loving handshake and turned to the door, "Leave us ont, pleasc,' '' and it was all over. Of course, it was up to the newspaper man to buy, but Flournoy and Lee are charter members of the water wagon crew and even eoals of fire were denied to the man who had hoped for an ungodly revenge.

He predicts T great future for the mines under the management of Fred Dixon. The formation of the country rock is lime, iron, porphyry and diarite, with a strong carbonate surface showing. There is plenty of timber and water and the lodges are permanent and can be followed for many miles.
