U. v. ENGINEERS
At DEVILS LAKE
STUDENTS IN CArIP FOR THE NEXT
FOUR WEEKS-PROFESSOR L.
S. SMI1H IN CHARGE.

Thursday there arrived at Devils
Lake some so students from the
University at Madison. They are
embryo engineers, mostly from the
Senior and Junior classes, with some
SOphomores. They are under the
charge of Professor l.. s. Smith of the
topographic and geodetic engineering
course at the university. The boys
take their meals at Terwiliger'S hotel
and occupy ten large tents in addition
to several cottages, one of which bears
a large banner with the legend EN-
gineers' Special, Look Out for the
Cars" Two students from NOtre
Dame are also with the Varsity bows.
They will remain at the lake for
about month doing engineering work
similar to that which was done last
year at Portage. Practical field work
means good deal to the civil en-
gineering student and four weeks of
hard work will count for a good deal
in their university course.
Last night several of the students
were taking reckoning to within
few seconds of eXactness, from the
stars so as to have base line from
which to survey the lake by means of
triangulation.
A long pier has been erected, which
leads far out into the lake for the use
of the hydraulic engineers in rating
current meters. Other branches of en-
gineering work will be carried on in
Guiding soundings of the lakes bot
tom, which will be done with thor.
oughness that will enable the univer-
sity authorities to produce an accurate
topographic map of the bottom of Dew
lis lake.
Professor Smith does not expect to
find depth of over so feet and SCOTS
at the idea Of a bottomless lake. He
said that probably such story arose
from tale related by a fisherman who
started out with 800 feet of line aud
could not find bottom at certain
points. It seems the fisherman's line
kept breaking off at intervals and he
did not realize that his line was far
from 800 feet in length at the finish
and that his sinker was so light he
probably never knew when bottom
was reached.
The greatest depth in the Wisconsin
lakes Professor Smith found at Green
lake where depth of 24O feet was re-
corded. The deepest part of Lake
Geneva showed 140 feet, while Men
dots fails to show depth of over IS
feet.

attaining depth of 1000 feet and is
the home of the much touted Tahoe
trout. Amy one visiting Tahoe for the
purpose of killing SINE of these

absolutely necessary. This includes
800 or 400 feet of fine copper wire, u

dollar a pound at the swell city hotels.
The resorts around the lake are many
and varied in character from the tent
ed village to the swell hotei. You and
your dollars are as welcome here as

very short and they must make hay

three months.

CHARLES BUSCH
IS DISCHARGED
ROY CAPENER RARRESTEDF FOR CON.
FESSED BURGLARY FROr1
rlRS. BRAUN.

Charles Busch, charged with burg
larry upon the complaint of District
Attorney Malone made upon informa-
tion received from Roy Capener, was
brought before Justice Halsted Thurs
day. The boy confessed to the crime
himself but stated that Busch was i'm
plicated with him in telling him
where the money was secreted. Cape
ner testified that he got into the house
with wire key in the absence of Mrs.
Robert Braun; that he had taken $40
from box after breaking the lock and
had then divided the booty with Mr..
Busch, who is son-in-law of Mrs.
Braun and lives in the neighborhood.
1t was shown on trial that at that
time when Capener said he took the
money, Mrs. Braun was at home and
she testified that she was certain no
money was taken then. A week previ-
Gus however she, with Mr.. Busch and
other members of the family visited on
Sauk Prairie and it was then that the
money was taken. The youth on cross
examination so completely contradict
ed himself that it was evident that he
was not telling the truth. lie account
ed for five of the $40 gold pieces with
which he had bought goods about town
while according to his own story he
had but three $40 gold pieces and SIS as
his share of the $40.
The defense simply put upon the
stand six we'll known farmers, all resi-
dents of Greenfield, who swore that
the boys reputation for truthfulness
was very bad and that they would not
believe him under oath. Upon the
evidence the court did not feel justified
in putting the county to the expenses
of trial in court and the case was dis
missed and Mr.. Busch discharged
District Attorney Malone appeared
for the state and Attorney f, K. Bent
ley for the defense.
AT the end of the trial Attorney Bent
ley insisted upon the arrest of Roy
Capener as a self-confessed burglar
and District Attorney Malone immedi-
ately caused his arrest.
