WANT ELECTRIC LIGHT,
he Two Rivers Chronicle SAYS:

The Two Rivers Chronicle says:
The farmers living along the Range
line road want electricity for light and
power purposes and propose to run a
wire along the road on the poles of the
Rangeline Telephone Company. The
matter has been discussed and met with
favor. They will apply 70 the municipal
plant in this CITY for the current and if
same canrot be obtained, it is possible
that the farmers will build their own
power plant. A meeting will be held in
n short time to determine the cost of
equipping the line and estimating the
number Of lights that will be installed.
This is the first attempt to establish a
line of this kind in this county and it is
possible that it will not be long before
electric lights will be rs popular with
the farmers as telephones now are"

the labors of Senator George b. Hudnall

even by him who runs. In addition, it
must be remembered that, if the reports
of the committee on claims had been
followed in all cases by the Legislature

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

On last Thursday evening the jury
returned verdict of guilty in the case
in which Israel Solkowitz was charged
with receiving stolen property. The
case was an appeal from the municipal
court in which SolkowitZ was convicted
on the charge of having purchased some
fifteen sacks of grain from boys who had
taken it from G. & N. w. cars The YER
dict was accompanied by a recommends
ton which the court did not make public.
The case of the state VS.. John Boehm
on charge of burglary went to the
jury Friday. After being out two hours
the jury returned verdict of not
guilty.
Boehm was freed on plea that he
was not responsible for his acts because
he was 30 drunk he did not know what
he was doing. A feature of the testi'
mony was Boehm's statement that he
had consumed % drinks of whiskey Oh
the day of the alleged crime. The
strongest evidence against Boehm was the
testimony of Police Chief Groffman who
declared that Boehm knew what he was
about when he was taken into custody
and pleaded with the officer not to make
a muss of 40 small a thing. In his
charge to the jury Judge Kirwsn cited
that intoxication was no excuse for
crime unless the condition of the defen'
dant was such as to render him physi-
cally unable to act or to render him
unable to form a criminal intent
The next case taken up was that of
the state VS.. the Dembski brothers
They were charged with breaking into
c. & N. w. cars and carrying away
grain The defendants set up al aibi
which they proved to the satisfaction
of the jury, as a verdict of not guilty
was returned within 40 minutes after
the jury retired
The case of the state vs. William Will
da on charge of arson was begun Mon
day afternoon. The defense set up the
plea of insanity. The case went to the
jury Tuesday evening. The verdict of
the jury was that Vida was insane at
the time of the crime and not respons-
ible for his acts, and insane at present.
Vida was charged with having set
fire to two barns owned by w. j. Coop
or and j. Ahrens just north of the city
limits. both of which burned on the
morning of April 20. Wilda was repre-
sented by Atty. A. P. Schenian. AS ex-
pert witnesses for the defense Drs. j. E,
Meany and c. M. Gleason both testified
that they believed hat Wilda was in
sane at the time the barns were burned
and is insane at present.
In his charge to the jury Judge Kir-
wan said that if the defendants mind
failed to grasp that his act was wrong,
he was undoubtedly insane and ire
sponsible. By order of the court Wilda
has been committed to the Northern
hospital at Oshkosh.
The Villa case completed the crimi-
nal calendar.
The civil action of Greiling Bros. VS..
the Central Coal q Dock Co. of Superior
was commenced Wednesday and is still
