OFFICER AFTER
WRONG MAN
A Case of Mistaken Identity
at Prairie du Sac,
Wis.
prairie du Sac News. J

A little out-of-the-ordinary excite
ment prevailed on our streets on Sat-
urday afternoon, when il became
known that Sheriff Grant Dryer of
Baraboo was in town for the purpose
of arresting A. G.. Wenzel as a suspect
in burglary which was committed in
Baraboo the night before, Marriott's
Hardware store being entered and sew
eral hundred dollars worth of jewelry,
knives and revolvers stolen. Mr.. Wen
eel, who claims Prairie du Sac as his
home, and who had arrived in Bara-
boo during the night, came here per
automobile about 6 o'clock Saturday
morning, and as he is practically
stranger in Baraboo, and circum-
stances indicating that he might be
one of the robbers, the sheriff was sent
after him, but after some light was
thrown on the matter, il proved that
he was not the man the authorities
were looking for.
Mr.. Wenzel, who is travelling
representative of che Rock County
Sugar company, and who came here
to visit his family and other relatives
in this vicinity, explained the situa-
ton to News reporter as follows: 81
came from Bangor to Baraboo Satur-
day night, arriving at Baraboo at 3:15.
L went TO the Warren House per bus,
but as did not want to go to bed [
inquired of the night clerk whether L
could get an automobile to go to
Prairie du Sac at once. The night
clerk made arrangements for an auto
mobile and | met the same at the
Northwestern depot lunch room and
started for Prairie du Sac at $50, ar
irving there 40 minutes later. re-
mained in town until 800 o'clock,
when [ hired livery rig and drove a
few miles out into the country, where
my brother was threshing. After din
ner | came back TO Prairie du Sac and
found that the Sauk county sheriff
had a warrant for my arrest. My
grips were searched, but none of Mar
liott's goods were found. The sheriff
was satisfied that was not the man
he was looking for. Under these cir
my visit to Prairie du Sac
was not a very pleasant one"

by tiling. Ono lies at the base of the
Lower Narrows along the west side of
the Baraboo river. In the "sixtiesn
this section was owned by DR.. Tay lor
the second husband of Mrs. Garrison
of pioneer fame. Cranberries grew
abundantly over most of the land in
those days, but since they died out
there has nothing grown on the land
except willows and poor quality of
marsh hay.
The land has been drained by the
owner G. w. Whitman, and this sea-
son has produced as fine crop of
corn as one would wish to see.
There is another piece of land three
or four miles below the linen mill
bridge owned by II. G.. Langdon that
always has been so wet as to be unfit
for anything except pasture, that was
drained and last year produced a fine
crop of hay. The sod was broken in
the fall and the ground seeded to oats
last spring. The oats yielded a fine
harvest of good No. grain. There
are other tracts that have been drained
with equal success, but these two are
enough to prove an object lesson for
those that think they must seek farm
ing land in some far section and that
the possibilities of Wisconsin are a
thing of the past.
The cost is something to be consid-
cred but that is no greater than the
expense of starting on virgin soil in
some newly undeveloped country,
where everything must be taken
in the rough. - M. s. FL. p.

A TRIP TO HOOsIERDOM
A Baraboo Citizen Greatly
Pleased With Land of
Writers.

DR.. Ell. J. Irwin, who has returned
from trip IN Al RingIing's automo-
bile to Indiana, was wonderfully sur
prised at the resources in the storm
center Of literature of the United
States. The idea has long prevailed
since Edward Eggleston wrote The
Hoosier Schoolmaster that Indiana was
one unbroken stretch of swamps and
barren hills. The land of Lew Wal
lace, James Whitcomb Riley, George
AIDE and the other famous writer's is
far from that.
The Baraboo party left in an auto
mobile and made the first stop at Be-
lott, then on to Hammond, Delphi and
Kokomo. They found the worst
roads in Wisconsin, better in Illinois
and the best in Indiana. Gravel is
largely used in the Sucker and Hoosier
states for roads and they found the
long white stretches ideal for automO-
billing. Gravel is in many banks along
the way and this makes good road
building comparatively easy. Corn
was good all way. and just as fine in
Indiana as in Illinois.
With The Show.
At Kokomo, Indiana, they found
the -Forepaugh show of which
Mr.. Ringing is the proprietor. He is
tireless worker. Mr.. Ringing is the
last to leave the lot at night and al
most the first on the ground in the
morning. He desires to see the last
wagon and the last hoof on the cars
before he finds rest in his private car.
With his automobile he easily goes
back and forth, saving much valuable
time.
They passed through Indianapolis,
the capital of the land of authors.
They found there wonderful system
of trolley lines, all centering in one
great station in the heart of the capt.
tai.
The party Travelled with the show
and when Bloomington was reached
DR.. Irwin surprised his brother, who is
an attorney in the fiourishing city.
When the Baraboo physician walked
in upon Attorney Irwin he could
hardly believe his eyes not knowing
that he was with the great show as a
guest.
