ing. This is about equal to the
growth of rubber on several of our

SMOOTH GAME IN

BROTHERS VILE FIGHT SUIT
Claim That Horse Firm Has Reen
Fraudulent

Fraudulent
What is characterized by Attorney
Joseph G. Ewing as a smooth game
to defraud farmers has eliminated
IN suit filed by the First National
bank of Platteville against Barthel
Kern and Frank Kern. brothers, to
recover on promissory note for
5000. alleged to have been given by
the brothers to Robert Burgess &
Son, horse dealers. with headquar-
ters at Wfnona, Ill. The note was
not honored at the bank by the Kern
brothers, Barthel claiming that his
signature was forged and Frank
maintaining that he was forced to
sign the note under threats. Joseph
G. Ewing and William r. Kelly have
been retained as attorneys in the de-
fense.
1t is claimed that the securing
OF the note is the result OF a shrewd
game worked by the Burgesses
through the farming districts. Their
method, 1t is said, was to form q
Farmers club to purchase stations
This club would buy a stallion, each
member taking a part of the stock
The horse sold to the club in which
the Kern boys became involved was
valued at $4,000. 1t is claimed thai
through this system the Burgesse:
cleaned up hundreds of dollars ant
that the horses they were putting
out are worth less than half tn,
price they have been receiving.
Attorney Ewing declares that TIL,
present case will be fought to a fin
ish and that an effort will be mad,
to prove that the methods of th'
Burgesses are fraudulent.

given in the Tribune some time ago.
The building will be about 100 feet
by IT'S. The basement will be high
enough above ground so that all
lie basement rooms will be we'll

to have room enough to meet the
growing needs O.. the city. The
building will be modern in all its

Hated, lighted and heated. 1t will
be completed and ready for occu-
pancy by September, 1910.
Mr.. Roeschlaub will see the super

local requirements. Mr.. Roeschlaub
states that it will take four days to
decide as to the arrangement and
number of rooms, and arrangement
of the offices, labratories, cloak
rooms, basement store rooms. lunch
room, auditorium. etc.
Roeschlaub & Sons have built more
school buildings than any other firm
in the west, and being so experienced
will give suitable as we'll as beau
tiful building.
The board disapproved of the idea
of having concrete building. The
matter was fully discussed with the
data at hand and it was found that
these buildings were not as beautiful
and were far more expensive than
the common frame or brick build
ings.
The gymnasium, when construct
ed, will be located on the northeast
corner of the west half of the Meek

ing will be ready for occupancy at
the same time the high school build
ing will be completed. The gym
will be entirely separate from the
high school.
At recent meeting Bruce G.

with this request and the idea was
approved by the board. Mr. Eaton
pledged $4,000 toward the new
