Edgerton Boys Go to Prison.

Two Edgerton boys, Ralph Harrison
and Emil Stanke, with hayward ten
denotes, were yesterday morning SEN
fenced to the Green Bay reformatory
by Judge Donovan in the municipal
court at Madison for holding up and
robbing another companion, Fred Sher-
man, on Northwestern train between
Evansville and that city Monday even
ing. The story as told by Sherman IN
court of the occurrence is as follows:
81 left Edgerton TO go to GAINESVILLE
Monday evening and there met friend
and remained SO long that l missed the
train back home. | got back to the
depot about II 80 o'clock. I met Har-
rison and Stanke. They told me we
could get back to Edgerton on freight
train. They induced me to get into the
empty freight car, but when the train
pulled out in the wrong direction and
knew that / could not be going toward
home, was going to jump off. They
told me we might just as we'll go to
Madison, where we could get passen-
ger for Edgerton. Nothing unusual
occurred until we got outside of Evans
vile. Harrison pushed me7into cor
ner and choked me while Stanke went

but had no chance against two of them.
They used me roughly until they got
the $40 bill, then they quit choking
me. They told me that if | squealed
on them they would kill me. First
they threatened to tie my hands and
throw me out of the box car. They also
threatened to tie me in the car and
leave me there, but none of these
threats were carried out
After they piled out of the freight
car near the Milwaukee station they all
but walked into the arms of a police
man who had been notified by Sherman.
The latter had dropped off the train in
the outskirts of the city and telephoned
to the police station.
On the way to the police station
Stanke tried to get rid of the $40 bill
but he was closely watched and was
prevented from removing from his per-
son this bit of damaging evidence.
When confronted in court the boys
plead guilty to the crime and will have
ample time to repent while serving out
their sentence.

DISHONEST tree agents are plentiful
in this state according to the reports
from Secretary Cranefield of the State
Horticultural society. Agents claiming
to represent Illinois and Ohio firms are
selling varieties of cherry entirely I'M
suited to Wisconsin climate at exhorbi-
tant prices. One farmer is reported as
buying 1000 trees at $1.10 each and
others large numbers at SIS to 65 cents
each and buyer agrees in addition to
give half the first crop. Reliable nur-
serymen in Wisconsin and elsewhere
sell better kinds at 80 cents each. Bar
mum stated a great truth when he said
people liked to be humbugged. Both
the Horticultural society and Agricul-
tural college constantly offer free adj
vice on such subjects.

Made Her Pay Well.

A certain queen of Hanover once
upon time when travelling stopped at
an inn called the Golden Goose. She
remained two days TO rest herself and
retinue and receive such entertain
ment as was needed and for the same
was charged 800 thalers. On her de-
parture the landlord besought her with
obsequious Difference TO favor him
with her patronage on her return.
IF you desire that. my dear man,
replied her majesty. you must not
again take me for your sign"

Three Resolutions to be Voted on at
General Election.

At the November general election
this fall three joint resolutions adopted
by the state legislature at the regular
sessions of 1907 and 1909, will be voted
upon. Joint resolution No. provides
for an amendment of section of arti-
Gle w of the constitution relating to
apportionment. The amendment will
abolish the state census, and the ap-
portionment and redistricting of the
members of the legislature will occur
every ten years instead of five. Under
the present article the state census is
taken every ten years, the same as the
United States enumeration, but as the
first state census was taken in 1856,
and every ten years thereafter, and the
u. S. census falls on the years ending
in naught, the state really has now an
enumeration every five years, and a
consequent reapportionment.
The second joint resolution is to
amend section q of article 4 of the
constitution, and provides for an in
crease of the compensation of the MEM
bers of the legislature from $500 to
$1,000 for each regular session.
The third joint resolution provides
for an addition to section 10 of article
VIII of the constitution, relating to in
ternal improvements. The amendment
provides for the appropriation of mon
eys for the purpose of acquiring, pre-
serving and developing the water pow
er and forests of the state, but the
amount shall not exceed two-tenths of
one mill of the taxable property of the
state as determined by the last state
assessment Under the present article
the state cannot contract any debt for
works of internal improvement, except
on certain grants of land made to the
state.

LIVELY BIDDING
FOR BUSHER WITT
Rival Clubs of the Big Leagues
Are Boosting Youngsters
Price Up
[Spc+;ol Dispatch to The Call

CINCINNATI, Aug. 16.-At least one
minor league player brings a fancy
price every season. Third baseman
Witt of the San Francisco club of the
Pacific coast league probably will be
the big money chap this year. The
club which gets him probably will pay
record price, at least it will have to
pay very big money to prevent some
other club from landing him.
Very little has been said or heard
about Witt. in the eastern part of the
country, but according to President Gar
ry Herman of the Cincinnati club. he
is the niftiest infielder proposition in
minor leagues today. Cincinnati scouts
have been watching him carefully and
say he is the man Cincinnati needs and
of course Herman is after him.
Witt plays a marvellous game in the
field, hits the ball hard, and is fast
on the bases. A dozen major league
clubs were bidding for him. includ-
ing the Cincinnati club, and his price
has gone up so high that the club own
er who gets him will think he is pur-
chasing a whole ball team instead of
one player
1t is figured that the club which
lands Witt will have to pay pretty close
to the record price to land the young
Ster.

LARNED MAY GO
TO AUSTRALASIA
National Tennis Champion and
Maurice Mclaughlin Likely
to Comprise Team
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

NEWPORT, r. T., Aug. 16.-Tennis
followers took more hopeful attitude
today with regard to Americas pros
poets for sending a team to New Zeal
and to participate in the Davis inter
national cup contest. 1t was suggested
that William A. Larned might be per-
suaded to make the journey, though
the national champion has not COM
mitted himself.
Should Larned consent the American
team would be complete, for Maurice
E. Mclaughlin, the rapid fire Califor-
MAN, is ready to try his hand--an old er
and perchance a Steadier hand than a
year ago-once more against the in
vincible Brookes and Wilding, the Aus
tralians who now hold possession of
the most coveted tennis trophy in the
world. Beals Wright stands ready to
make the long journey also.
Larned's rapidly developing friend
ship for Mclaughlin is a most consist
ent step toward such an Acceptance. In
the minds of many of the tennis sharps
it appears to indicate that Larned has
seriously considered the ACCESSIBILITY of
tieing up with the speedy westerner in
a double team. Such a com bination
should prove capable of wrestling the
doubles match from the Australians.
Larned's interest in Mclaughlin has
led to considerable coaching or the
Californian by the title holder even to
the. extent of a few lessons as to how to
defeat certain others of notable posi-
ton in the tennis world.
The first round was completed dur
ing the forenoon and good progress in
the second round was made. The Pell-
Johnson match, which attracted a
large gallery, was won by the former
indoor champion in straight sets.

RUGBY A HIT At
BERKELEY HIGH
Students Line Up at One of the
Greatest Rallies Ever
known There
By WILLIAM UNMACK

The Berkeley high school yesterday
held the best football rally that has
ever taken place in the history of the
school. There were more than 1000
participants and the enthusiasm was
very strong. Professor Brink addressed
the gathering and urged the pupils to
do something" not only in athletics,
but in all walks of life
The meeting was addressed by Foot
ball Manager Kaufman and Captain
Hunt. and they both urged the men to
come out for the team. Professor
Lowell, who will coach the team until
a regular coach has been appointed
gave the men some sound advice and
called on all last years players and the
new men to report for practice after
school.
At 4 o'clock the boys reported and so
signed for practice. Coach Lowell eX-
planned the rudiments of the game to
the men and kicking and dribbling
were INDUCED in. The squad will prac-
tice daily on the grounds at Durant
street, where the Intercollegiate squads
practiced in former years. The team
is endeavoring to. get the California
field to practice on. The Durant
grounds are not suitable for Rugby and
the squad is at disadvantage.
An innovation has been introduced
in the athletic squads at Berkeley that
requires each candidate to pass both a
medical and physical test before ne
viii be allowed to compete in any of
the different branches of sports
The football squad was the first of
the squads to go through the examipa-
tions. OF the so men signed up for
football practice Doctor Hoag. the
school medical attendant, examined
more than 20 of them and the results
so far have been satisfactory.
Though Berkeley has not played the
Rugby game in previous years, the boys
who turned out yesterday with proper
coaching ought to make an exception
ally good showing. They are a husky
lot of athletes and several of them are
said TO be particularly fast.
J. Sturges, who last year played
fullback on the University of the Pa
cifc team, San Jose, has registered at
Berkeley and he will no doubt be Sc
lected to fill his old position. c. Sin
clare last years captain at Berkeley,
returned to school this week and has
announced his intention to come out
for the Rugby game. He will make his
first appearance today at practice. I'M
cell. captain of the 1908 team, has left
Berkeley and has registered at the
University of California.
Next Monday football burlesque show
is to be given by the students and the
girls of the associated student body
have volunteered their services to help
make the affair a success. The new
suits for the squad have been ordered
and will be on hand to be distributed
at the end of this week.

Girl Kills Deer With
Fence Picket
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
FAIRFAX, Aug. 16-Of the many
strange incidents that have happened
to Marin county deer hunters this sea :
son the most unusual was the killing
of spike near here this morning by
II year old Mary McAdams, the daugh-
ter of John McAdams, a we'll known
rancher. So many adventures have be-
fallen sportsmen this season that hunt
ers who have not actually witnessed
the various experiences are growing
skeptical, but the fact remains that
the little girl killed a young deer with
a picket this morning.
The spike had evidently been run
ming several hours from dogs who were
on the Roy ranch after a wounded
buck. 1t came YEARLY across the field
and tried to force it's way through a
picket fence that skirts the front yard
of the McAdams home In some man
ner its head became wedged between
two pickets.
Little Mary saw the young deer from
the porch and, thinking the animal was
endeavoring TO break into her fathers
garden, ran down to drive him away.
Selling a picket she struck the ex-
hausted animal over the head, break
ing one of its horns. The tired deer
tried to back away, but at the next
blow it dropped dead.
