HOLDS EX-SHER|FF
MUST FACE TRIAL
SUPREME COURT SUSTAiNS IN
DlCTMENTS AGAINST FOR
MER OFFICIAL.
CHARGED WITH DISHONESTY
Other important Cases Disposed o
by Decisi ons Handed Down by
Wisconsin Supreme
Court.

Madison. That technicalities and
hair-splitting differentiation will not
be permitted in Wisconsin to turn
the scales of justice to the advantage
OF the individual who seeks thereby
to escape the processes of law, was
again disclosed in the judgment of
the supreme court in reversing the
order of the circuit court of Mari
nette county in the case of the state
against Thomas w. Brown.
The case was one of those in
which a public official is charged
with offenses against the state by in
dictment, and objection Is made by
the defendant to the terms OF the
indictment. In the present case
Brown, who was sheriff of Marinette
county, and who was charged in each
Of some ten indictments, objects to
the proceeding upon the ground that
the Indictment charges that Brown,
by false pretense, induced the county
of Marinette to pay him certain sums
of money.
1t was contended by Brown that
there is no charge that the county
paid the money or that Brown re-
ceived it; that the only offense
charged is that the county was in
duced to pay with no suggestion that
it did pay.
The court, in an opinion by JUS
tice Barnes, declares that "prece-
dents from foreign Jurisdictions on
matters of pleading and practice in
criminal cases are often illusory and
misleading. On a question such as
the one before us, the judgments
Of other tribunals may aid, but they
cannot control or conclude this
court"
The indictment in the present case
says that the defendant did induce
Marinette county to pay the money,
and the supreme court finds no rea-
son in the form of the language to
conclude that it means anything
other than that the county paid the
money as charged in the indictment
and that the defendant received it.

She Bored Him.

The opening day OF the exposition
brought many street beggars to the
city. At the corner of the Federal
building sat an old man blind and
minus one leg While the parade was
passing n sympathetic lady stopped
and gazed at him in pity
Finally she approached him and be-
gan asking him questions. She asked
him If he were married, how many
children he had, where he had worked
last. how he had met with the acct,
dent that had incapacitated him for
work, and "A thousand other ques
ttions.
Finally the unfortunate one became
pcevish. Madam" he exclaimed
harshly. you may think this Is an in
formation bureau. 1t is not; It Is a
collecting agency "-Ciucinna Com

PREDICT LONG. COLD WINTER
Weather Prophets and Nature Ex-
perts Agree That 1t viii Be
Unusually Hard One.

Milwaukee.-Get your rutabagas
in the cellar and give the parsnips
an extra covering.
Likewise, if you have steam pipes
around the house, look TO the plumb
ing.
Weather forecasters predict that
the winter of 1910-'11 is going to be
long and hard. Wisconsin, they say,
will have its usual delightful fall,
but when winter comes, and it may be
few days earlier than is its wont.
the days will be cold and there will
be little relief until spring, which
may be late.
Reports are coming from the state
in support of these predictions, and
altogether it appears that the coal
man has an energetic press agent.
Keeper Bean of the Washington
park zoo, while not claiming to be
weather prophet, says that his fur
bearing animals are going to have I'M
usually beautiful coats this winter.

PASTOR A FOOTBALL COACH
The Rev E. A. Foley, Formerly OF
Milwaukee Y. N. Q. A., to Aid
Menomonee Falls Team.

Menomonee Falls.-The Methodist
church of this city has versatile
pastor who believes in athletics. He
has made an offer, which has been
accepted, to act as coach for the viii
lage high school football team this
fall. The pastor is the Rev. E. A.
Foley, who was a former star in the
Brown university team and for fif-
teen years a coach at Hammond uni
versity. When he entered the min
istry he did not think it necessary to
make his exit from the football field.
It is Mr.. Folley's theory that he can
do more good to the football play
ers by going among them and aiding
in the uplift of the sport than he
can preaching sermons to them from
his pulpit that they might not come
to listen to.
Mr.. Foley was connected with
the Milwaukee Young Mems Chris
tian association for the year ending
Sept l, 1910, as religious work sec
rotary.

SAILING CRAFT STILL HERE.

Commenting upon the passing OF

the clippers was the last chapter IN
sail navigation on the high seas.
When merchants were able to send
their caagoes more cheaply by tramp
steamers or BY regular liners than by
the swift sailing and inexpensive clip
pers. il was time to haul in the sheets
and bansh all sailing vessels from
the seas"
The Times-D Dispatch has overlooked
the schooners. IL Is true that the
clippers are disappearing and the sail
ing craft as a factor in across the
seas trade is fast becoming thing
of the past. But the feet schooner,
the finest type of sailing vessel Tor
coastwise service ever constructed,
never played more prominent part
on the Atlantic coast than it does to-
day. New schooners-five and SIN
masters-sre being turned out con-
