JACK FROST GETS
MANY POTATOES
Scores of Acres Remain Not
Dug and Still Others
Freeze in Pile.
From Thursdays Daily

Jack Frost got many acres of potatoes
before they could be dug. The buyers
report that whole fields have been
caught and are ruined. 1t has been q
discouraging year for the growers. At
first it was too dry, then too wet and
next too cold. The crop was exceeding
IL large but there was not time for
them to ripen. Bushel after bushel
was frozen in the pile. 1t has been
difficult for the buyers to keep the
frosted ones separate but they have
done the best they could. Many loads
went back home and still others are in
the warehouse to await developments.
The buyers have been busy. One day
last week George Carpenter received
over 2, 400 bushels and the. other two
firms, Ell. M. Johnston. Lumber COM
.pany and l.. D. Burtch report heavy
receipts. ...>-. .,.,

ACCIDENT
RESULTS
FATALLY
Fred Rischmueller of Prair-
ie du Sac Falls From
Wagon and is Killed.

Yesterday Fred Rischmu eller Of
Prairie du Sac drove the wagon owned
by the Standard Oil Company from
Prairie du Sac to Merrimack and the
started 10 the home of his brother
north of the village. He was driving
a three horse team and on the way he
was so badly injured that he died dur
ing the night. Just how the sad event
he was alone at the time. He has
been lu declining health for some time
the disease being diabetes. 1t is
thought that either he fell from the
wagon forward onto the horses or he
lost his place on the vehicle in runa-
way. When found both legs were
broken, ribs were fractured and he
was unconscious. He was not able to
speak after the sad affair.
The accident happened near the
home of Paul Thurow and the uncon-
scious man was brought to the home
of Walter Dobratz. DR.. Beuhler of
Prairie du Sac and Mrs. Rischmueller
arrived by automobile before the in
jured man passed away, but he did
not regain consciousness at any time.
Deceased was born in the town of
Honey Greek about Al years ago. AS
3 boy he resided on the farm next to
Supervisor John Schneider and both
were in school together. When Mr..
schneider was informed of the acci-
dent today he was greatly grieved.
He moved to Prairie du Sac about ten
years ago and was engagedI in the
draying business. About year ago
he gave that up and devoted all of his
time to the oil business.
He leaves a wife and two daughters,
aged and years.

A. E. Welch of the town of Sumpter
contributes an old lantern which has
glass on three sides and tin door on
the other. A tailow candle was used
instead of oil and the snuffers accom-
pany the gift. The lantern took first
premium at the Sauk county fair this
year.
Mr.. Welch also gives hand made
iron fork dug up in the town of Sump-
ter.
The Babb family of Reedsburg gives
pair of old names. The names were
worn by horses driven by P. III. Babb,
son of J. w. Babb, from Ohio to
Reedsburg in the fall of 1916. Mr..
Babb drove a six horse team and drove
them with one line. They crossed the
Baraboo river at Reedsburg, Dec. 8th,
and the ford was afterward named
Babb's ford.
Other gifts will be noted in these

CONDUCTOR HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Stone Hurled at F. O. Les
ter While in Dining
Car.

While seated in the dining car on
the south bound train leaving Madison
at 5:45 O'Clock, Conductor F. O. Lester
of Madison, narrowly escaped serious
injury, if not death, about five miles
south of Evansville, when stone the
size of the palm of mans hand was
hurled through the double window of
the car. Glass was scattered all over
the table at which Mr.. Lester was
seated, some of it cutting his neck in
several places. The rock was thrown
with great force, and hadit struck Mr..
Lester in the head, the result certainly
would have been serious.
At first the conductor thought that
some mischievous boy probably had
thrown the big stone. A careful in-
spection of the place where the rock
crashed through the window indicates
that the person who threw it actually
took aim. Conductor Lester is we'll
known and well thought of, and his
friends find it hard to believe that any
one was trying to do him harm.
This is the second accident of this
kind within few weeks. Recently at
Brooklyn, few miles north of Evans
vile, an engineer was struck by a
stone and he is now in serious condi-
tion at a Chicago hospital.-Madison
Journal.
Conductor Lester formerly resided in
Baraboo and is we'll known in this
vicinity.

BROKEN BOW INDIAN CLUB

The following articles have been
given to the Sauk County Historical
society since the last report;
d. &. KonKel sends from Broken
Bow, Nebraska, an Indian war club.
The white stone has band around it
with handle attached. The instru-
ment is modern one.
A. J. Craul of Reedsburg gives an
Elk horn found on the DR.. Rood farm
one mile southwest of Reedsburg. The
horn is partly gone and shows that it
has been long, long time since the
wearer wandered over the hills of this
county.
Frank Quiggle gives an instrument
for bleeding horses. There are several
knives which open from the handle.
1t was once used by Michael Quiggle.
Mrs. F. Il. Woodruff gives an old
gun which was given her by courtly
hammered old negro whose life looks
back over more than eighty years.
He now lives in his little cabin near
Williamsburg, Virginia. His fine
manners were acquired from the
cultured southern family in whose serv
ice, as butler, he had spent his years
before the war, for good old uncle Ben
Jones was born a slave in Virginia
and spent his life on great plantation
till, as he said, "De good Lord and
Abe Lincoln set me Free" He says
he had good "Massa and Missus.v
When his freedom came TO him, he
worked his way through the lines to
Richmond and was employed by
some of the union officers as a serving
man. He had supposed the Yanks
a dreadful class of people, but became
greatly attached to these officers who
were very kind to him. At the close
of the war when arms were stacked,
this gun, which had been taken from
a confederate soldier who had carried
it through the war, was given to uncle
Ben by one of the officers who knew
that the greatest desire of his soul was
to be the owner of gun. He had
carefully guarded it during all the
years since 1865, but one day when
Mrs. Woodruff was calling at his
cabin, he gave it to her to be preserved
by the historical society at Baraboo.
r1rS. Woodruff Also Gives.
A buckle, which had been the proud
badge of some confederate soldier,
came into the possession of Mrs. Wood
ruff7s brother, Edward Lincoln, who
gave it to her when he came home at
the CLOSE of the war in which he had
served for four years. 1t bears upon it

Fight State Secretary's
Right to Hold Office.

tary OF State Knox may be given

Attorneys now contestlng the ex-
tradition OF Porter Charlton. ac-
cused OF the murder of his wife at

dition papers for Charlton. they
would make II necessary for Knox
to prove that he is really secretary.

The Charlton attorneys have re-
yived the discussion which arose
soon after President Taft chose
Knox. II was discovered at the
time that clause in the constitu-
ton prohibited former senators or
representatives In congress from
holding office whose compensation
had been increased while they were
members OF congress.
