ATTORNEY OF JuSIIC0 COuII'
Last Tuesday evening the village
board of trustees of Cuba City voted
to revoke the saloon of P. G. Richards
and to allow Geo. Wiedernold to re-
tain his In Richards case the vote
stood six to one in favor of revocation
and in the case of the latter four to
three against revocation. The circum-
stances leading up to the considera-
ton are known to Herald readers.
Some time ago these men were brought
to the county seat and paid fines for
allowing gambling in their respective
saloons. The complaint against them
was brought by E. L. Cooper.
-The opinion of those from Lsn-
caster and vicinity who attended the
football game at Madison Saturday is
that Wisconsin was not only out
weighed but was outclassed in other
particulars as we'll. Coach Williams
of the Gophers unbottled a varied
assortment of plays that fairly
dazzled the Badgers. Only at one
or two brief intervals did Wisconsin
show that it was in the same class as
the giants from the north. The final
score-34 to is said to fairly represent
the relative merits of the two teams.
1t Is claimed, however, by some Wis
consin adherents that a wet. slippery
field prevented, their favorites from
engaging in the line of battle Coach
Barry had planned, in which speed
and forward passes were to be featured.
1t was indeed gratifying to note
that the county board not only acted
favorably on Supt. Brockert's sug-
gestion that $50 be appropriated to
defray the expenses OF a Spelling.
Adding and Writing Contest next
year but added an extra fifty thus
making their appropriation 800 In
perhaps no better way can be shown
the sentiment throughout the county
regarding this contest. The board
members acted as perhaps three-fourths
of their townspeople would. Never
has a school event taken place in this
section that has brought out go much
enthusiasmAand interest and at the
same time conferred such a lasting
benefit upon the participants as did the
first annual Spelling, Writing and
Adding contest held here last snrinp
The terrific storm Thursday after
noon wrought considerable damage to
the property of the railroad company.
The three sides that were completed
of the new round house were blown
over and two sides of the depot ad-
dition were blown in, although the
damage to the latter was slight and
was easily and quickly repai red.
