Stoughton

Andrew Norman, who returned here
little over a week ago from an alb
sence of nearly year in Colorado,
finds that this climate differs greatly
from what he has been accustomed to,
and is contemplating returning to Col
orado in the near future.
After hearing the testimony of half
dozen witnesses in the case of the
killing of Nels Prestekvern, Wednesday
noon, the coroner's jury refused to fix
any res possibility for the accident, and
as the result. of few minutes deliber-
alton, merely returned verdict that
the deceased came to his death as the
result of an accident.
Simon K Simonson of Deerfield was
here for a visit over Sunday with his
father, Ole Simonson, who on Monday
was successfully operated upon for cat
aract by DR. Iverson, and who is still at
the Stoughton Surgical hospital In
another week he will probably be able
to return to his home with the sight of
his right eye fully restored.
Concordia lodge Knights of Pythias
is contemplating the erection of lodge
hall sometime in the future and a com
mittee has the matter under considera-
ton. The first move will be to invest
in site and then build as soon as the
means can be. obtained The Knights
are sub-leasing from the Odd Fellows
in the third story Of the First National
bank block. To start the move going
it is likely that stock will be subscribed
by the members.
Miss Sarah Drotning, the youngest
daughter of Ed Drotning, and Walter
Rosenberg, of the high school faculty,
stole march on their friends Satur-
day before last by getting married in
Chicago, the young couple going from
here on the early train. They returned
the same evening and informed the
brides immediate relatives of the
event, but determined to keep the mar
riage secret for few weeks, though,
as we see, without success.

StoughtOn Woman Arrested for Viola
ton of Quarantine Regulations.

Sheriff Scheibel went to Stoughton
Monday and placed under arrest Mrs.
A. e. Gilley, wife of Stoughton's truck
gardener, for breaking quarantine at
Evansville recently. The action was
brought at the instance of the state
board of health. Mrs. Gilley appeared
at GAINESVILLE Tuesday morning to an
swer to the charge. The fine is not
less than $25 and may be more at the
discretion of the court. The little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilley was taken i'll
while visiting his grandmother at Ev-
ansville and found to be suffering from
scarlet fever. His mother arrived and
she says that she asked the attending
physician if she could take the child
home, providing that the quarantine
was observed in Stoughton, and he re-
piled that it would be all right and that
he would see the health officer about
the matter. Meanwhile her husband
had sprained an ankle and could not
come, for them, SO she bundled the child
up carefully and took him home.
In commenting upon this matter the
Courier-Hub has this to say in explain
alton of Mrs. Gilley's unconscious vio-
lation Of the law:
When Mrs. Gilley went to Evansville
for short visit several weeks ago, her
son, who accompanied her, was per-
fectly we'll, but was taken sick during
the visit with a mild case of scarlet
fever. They remained in quarantine
until after Mr.. Gilley suffered an acct
dent by which he sprained his foot,
when, as she was needed badly at home,
she inquired of the attending physician
if it would be all right to return to
Stoughton, provided they at once went
into quarantine again upon their ar
rival here. She was assured that it
would be all right and was also told
by the physician that he would see the
health officer. Mrs. Gilley heard moth
ing more from him, and taking for
granted that there were no objections
to her departure she returned home and
was in quarantine here for a time.
But to avoid further discomfort and
notoriety, in the municipal court Tues
day Mrs. Gilley pleaded guilty to the
charge and Judge Fifeld imposed fine
of S25 and costs, intimating that the
fine would be RENTED.
