Have Adverse Hearing Before
Justice Halsted.
(From Fridays Dafly.)

Two adverse examinations were held
yesterday before Justice Halsted as
court commissioner. The first case
was that of Joseph Hem VS.. Theodore
Hurth in which Mr.. Hem is suing
for $4,000 on the charge of assault and
battery, which he claims took place at
Sauk City on February 21, 1910.
Another case in which the adverse
testimony was heard yesterday was
that of Joseph HEM VS.. andre Hurth
in which Mr.. Hem charges that he
was slandered by Mr.. Hurth who said
among other things that Mr.. HEM
killed his wife and committed perjury
in the circuit court case held some time
before Mr.. Hem sued for $4,000 in
this case.
The three parties are residents OF
Sauk City. The two cases are the out
growth of a circuit court case heard
last fall in which both claimed an
island in the Wisconsin river below

Edwards and the murdered man were
together late Saturday afternoon. He
has traced them to several places and
as far as the Yahara river. Edwards
said they separated on Williamson

who has been raising one dollar bills
to SIS, and So bills to SO bills, this by
means of pasting finely printed imi-

raising the numerals. The raised bills
are stated to be the work of clever

NO SWINE FAMINE
High Prices Have Been Incentive
for Farmers to Give More At
ton to Breeding Hogs.

According to, .stockbuyers through
out the coutrY there is small possibili-
ty of another pork famine in the near
future. Farmers are giving great at
tention to hog breeding and great
many are coming on. When the
scarcity of hogs was first noticed it
was noted that many farmers even
sacrificed their brood sows to the
high price paid for pork. Since then,
as the prices began to climb, hogs
have received more attention and it is
believed that next fall will find
enough to satisfy the demand.
There is however, a possibility of as
great famine in beef cattle this fall
as there has been in hogs during the
last twelve months. Cattle are said to
be scarce in every section of the
country.

Edwards Tells Story.

The knife apparently plays no part
in the case, but it was produced for
the effect it might have and because it
might lead to something else.
Edwards is an Englishman. He left
his native land when he was IA years
old. Today he is "a years old, and dur
ing all these years he has been without
home, wandering from town to
town, mending umbrellas, sleeping in
harms and cars and spending not a
little money for drink. His story to
the coroner's jury was told frankly,
and in steady tones. He looks like q
man who will stick to that story for a
long time. Perhaps the only strange
part about his testimony is the fact
that he became separated from bis
"pal" late Saturday afternoon and
made no attempt to find him. Another

Baraboo was referred to the license
committee. The license COMMITTEES
later reported that they would like tC

not he is practical plumber. Severa
aldermen objected on the ground that
this would delay the matter and worh
was already waiting until this action
was gone through with. A motion
was passed authorizing the license
committee to grant the license before
the next meeting of the council if the
plumber is found satisfactory. The
authority was also extended to the

COMPANION Of
MURDERED MAN
HELD BY POLICE
SUSPECT DENIES ALL KNOWL-
EDGE OF DEATH OF FELLOW
UMBRELLA MEMBER.
Madison Journal.)


Ia mender, who was arrested in Bara-
boo Tuesday on information wired out
by Chief of Police Shaughnessy, is be-
ing held by the Madison police in
connection with the murder in Hobo
Grove Saturday night.
He is the last known man seen In
the company of the stranger whose
throat was cut. At the coroner's In
quest Edwards, under oath, told
long story, the essential part of which
was that he and the murdered man
separated between and O'Clock Sat
urday afternoon. The police, however
cling to the possibility that the man in
custody may have been an eyeWlt-
ness to the crime in Hobo Grove, and
anay be withholding important intor-
mation because he fears violence from
Others who took part in the struggle in
the hobo camp.
Murder is Verdict
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
that the stranger, whose name
Edwards says he does not know was
killed with sharp instrument in the
bands of an unknown person.
For just one tieeting moment dur
ing the inquest today it seemed as
though the mystery might be solved
and Edwards might be forced into Civ
ing some illuminating information.
Henry Reynolds, yard inspector for
the Northwestern railway company,
about 1880 O'Clock Saturday night
said he saw two men pass by, not
more than twenty feet from where
he stood, on their way to the grove.
A few minutes later, said Reynolds,
there was a free-for-all fight between
the two men, said TO be umbrella
members. and others III the grove.
REYNOLDS felt confident that he could
identify both of the men who passed
him.
When he was giving this testimony
Edwards was at the police station.
District Attorney Vroman Mason said
he thought it would be best to sum-
mon him to the inquest. Reynolds
was told to take good look at him
and try hard to identify him. Stand
ing off in a corner, the railroad man
scanned Edwards from head to toe,
looking long and earnestly into his
face. Then he shook his head mean
ing that Edwards was not one of the
men who passed him.
Recognizes Dead Man.
"He is about the same height" he
declared, ,'"but looks lighter"
1t was suggested that the fact that
Edwards was clean shaven today
might make difference. Reynolds
admitted that it would, but that he
was uncertain and could not say. that
Edwards was one of the two men
who passed him and later were mixed
up in the fight in the grove.
After the inquest the Northwestern
inspector was taken to Science hall
at the university where the remains
Of the murdered man lie embalmed.
He was accompanied by Coroner
Lynch and City Detective Boyd. One
glance at the face of the dead man,
and Reynolds turned TO Mr.. Boyd and
Mr.. Lynch and said:
eyes, remember him; he passed
me on the way to the grove"
During the inquest knife foun q
upon the person of Edwards was pro-
-duced. 1t was an old butcher knife
with a well-worn blade, half its natu-
raj size. Edwards said IL was his knife,
and added:
at wouldn't cut butter"

the treasurer to take steps toward the
collection of the costs which were

The petitions for the construction OF
a sidewalk grade on the west side of
Summit street between Eighth and
Ninth avenues and for the improve
ment of the Summit street road with
clay or other hard substance were re-

committee and granted by the council.
The street committee reported that
it was not deemed just that the prop

sidewalk on the east side of Barker
street between Second and Third
streets where the sidewalk had been
condemned, as the street was but 20
