Not ''BiIIV the Kid"

Some days ago there was some ex-
element at Sauk City because it was
thought that man wanted for the
murder of the marshal at Fairbury,
H., was employed there. The man
was painting for Andrew Schroeder
but he was not Billy the Kid as the
Lone Rock Review explains:
"The young man followed by the
Sauk City officer was not Scriven,
however. The local marshal and Frank
Straub located him after getting infor-
nation from the Sauk City officer.
He lives about two miles from
Gotham. We will not publish his
name because of the unfavorable not
oriety which would result. He ad-
mitted to the local officers that he
worked for painter at Sauk City.
That he had left that place when he
learned that the people suspected that
he was connected with murder in
Illinois. He did this because of the
publicity that would follow in case he
was arrested. He bears a very good
reputation. His description does not
correspond with that of the man who
is being sought with the exception
that both wear the same sized hat"

LONG DISTANCE
TRAVELLER STOPPED
HE is ATTRA CTED TO A WHEEL
AND ARREST AT MERRlrIACK
FOLLOWS.
iFrom Tkursuay's Daily.)

A bright, red wheel belonging to
William O'Brien, Jr., was too much
of an attraction for George Smieada
when he espied it at the Chicago &
Northwestern station this morning
about 1880 o'clock. The wheel and
young man went down the track
merrily together and in due course
of events Mefrimack was reach
ed. Here a pause was made to
obtain lunch and in the
meantime the telephone had been
busy. Some boys saw the wheel go
out of Baraboo and the employees of
the railroad company at Merrimack
saw the wheel come into town. While
the young man was getting his break
fast Sheriff Grant Dryer, Marshal
Buckley and Conductor William
O'Brien hurried over the bluffs
to the village on the Wisconsin
river. By the time they arrived the
fellow was being detained in the bar
Der shop of Justice G. +. Kirschtein.
1t was no trick to bring him back.
1t took only few minutes for the
sentence to be given, three months at
hard labor in the county jail. The
maximum sentence would have been
six months.
The young man gave as his excuse
that he had bee a waiting for a train
since six o'clock and could find on
means of reaching Madison.
He says that he is long distance
traveller and that he halls from Sacra-
mentO Gal

MISS F0LA LA TOILETTE
AS SUfFRAGETTE
Reads From Suffrage Play i'm New
York and to Enter the Campaign
i'm North Dakota.

Miss Fola La Toilette, daughter of
United States Senator Robert M. La
Toilette of Wisconsin and an actress,
has gone actively in the work of win
ming votes for women. Within a few
weeks Miss La Toilette, it is said, is to
take a novel part in the campaign in
North Dakota for an amendment to
the state constitution extending the
suffrage to women.
She will appear on the platform at
meetings in that state and give read
ings from the suffrage play, "How the
Vote Was Won,'' which was produced
by Beatrice Forbes Robertson in Lon
don year ago and which was written
by two English suffrage leaders,
Cecily Hamilton and Miss st. John.
Miss La Toilette was the guest of
the Wage Earners' league of the Polit-
ical Equality associations in New
York and read the play. 1t tells how
the women of England went on strike
demanding that they receive votes or
be supported by their nearest male
relative, or, falling this, be supported
in the poor houses at the rate payers
expenses. In the end, when the men
found their homes filled with unat-
tached females of distant relationship,
they rose enmasse and dem anded that
women vote and women did.
Miss La Toilette convulsed and con-
vinced her audience in the same breath
The differentiation in her characterize
tions was artfully done and each type
as it appeared in the voice and face of
the actress was recognized by her
hearers.

From Fridays Daily

The teachers and pupils of joint
district No. gave an entertainment
at the school house last evening. The
school is one OF the best in the country
and the Entertainment given under the
management of Miss Platt and Miss

The class flower was the yellow rose.
The room was beautifully decorated
with flowers, ferns, and canopy of
ribbon streamers of maroon and gold
the class colors.
An interesting program held the
attention of the audience for nearly
three hours, each rendering their parts
with marked ability. We would es-
pecially mention the Glenville baby
show as the little mothers devoted
love for their own and jealous disre-
gard for the other babies, that is often
shown by older mothers on similar
occasions.
District Clerk S. S. Pearson in a
few we'll chosen words presented the
diplomas and l.. d Burtch gave a
short talk appropriate to the occasion.
There was picnic in McArthur's

SCREENS ARE NOT
CURTAIN STRETCHERS
Excitement Follows When Fly Pro-
tectOrs Fly Away--r1an
Disappears.
(From Thursdays Dany.)

A certain south side business man
created a disturbance at a late hour
last night at the Cummings boarding
house. The business man had been told
that he could borrow some curtain
which were setting against
the side of the boarding house. At
about ten O'Clock he went after the
stretchers and saw several door screens
which he took under his arm and
started away thinking he had succeed
ed in finding the object of his quest.
Miss Cummings through the window
espied the man and her rapidly disap-
pearing properly and of course con-
cluded that the place was being rob-
bed. The boarders were quickly arous-
ed and an officer notified but the busi-
ness man had been swallowed up by
the night.
The screens were found set ting
against tree some distance from their
former location. He evidently thought
the weather too cold for them to be of
use to him.
The victim of the occasion will prob
ably be accompanied by dark lantern
the next time he borrows curtain

EXCITEMENT AT ROCKFORD
Rioters are Showed Through the
Jail Doors Like
Sheep.

| With less than two weeks of salOo rs

lied by wild orgy, rioting and the
storming of the city Jail resulting in
80 arrests according to message
sent out from that city. The men are
held on charge of rioting. More ar
rests are expected.
1t seems that although the saloons
are not allowed to have chairs or
window-screens, these simple regula-
tiOns have not availed to prevent
saloon excesses. Neither have the
promises of the saloonkeepers that
they would cause no disorder.
The riot had its inception when
Policeman Charles Cavanaugh tried to
disperse crowd. One, who was
drunk, refused to move and was ar
rested. While taking him to the po-
lice station, Cavanaugh was attacked
by another man, whom he succeeded
in capturing. Cavanaugh, fighting off
the others, landed his assailant in the
station.
When the patrol wagon arrived
with other officers, general fight be-
gan, in which the police used their
clubs.
The disorder continued and more
police were rushed to the scene. The

Suddenly some one raised the cry:
"Storm the JAIL" and in an instant
the mob rushed TO the Jail, ten blocks
distance. On the way it riddIed win
dows of street car barns with stones.
When the mob arrived at the city hall
it numbered about 800 men and boys.
When the yelling crowd came in
front of the police headquarters de-
tail of police rushed out and began
dragging in all they could get their
hands upon. Iney were alde0 Dy Cne

MANHATTAN
Will SOON BE
BANNER CAMP
ALI. RESIDENTS OF THE NORTH
ERN CAMP ARE AFTER
LEASES

Manhattan is rapidly assuming
its old-time appearance and indica-
tons point to its becoming the ban
ner camp in the northern section of
the county," said Ed Malley yester-
day. Mr.. Malley spent Sunday and
Monday in the placer camp and
during his stay made trip of in
spection to all the different prop
critics. He secured an interest in
a lease on the Crescent ground that
looks very promising and in short
time men will be at work develop
ing the holdings.
"All the mills are working" con-
tinued Malley, and there is hardly
an idle man in the camp. Houses
are at premium for the population
is being increased daily. Every
body in the camp is on the jump
and prospectors are about the hills,
going over the ground in an effort
to find a suitable place for lease
A noteworthy fact is that there are
a great many demands for leases
The leases are desired on grount
located at different parts of tn,
camp and not at any one particular
section
During my stay strike wa
made in the lease of Pierce an,
Larson on the Mustang, Abou
two and one-half feet of high grad
, ore was uncovered at a depth 0
thirty feet, Assays taken from thi
body gave returns as high as $500
to the ton. Shortly after the strik
was made Pierce sold out his inter
est to Chapman brothers.
1T is my opinion that the Ion
expected boom has arrived and this
from now on Manhattan will be
the limelight to stay"
