MIGHTY MEAN MAN.
Darns His Stockings on
Front Lawn to Harrow
Up Wife's Feelings

A man may mend his own trousers
and darn his own socks, but he hasn't
the right to do this on the front lawn
and call the attention of the neighbors
to the fact that his wife has overlooked
these little jobs.
The Hennepin county district
court at Minneapolis settled this ques-
ton in decision filed granting Nettie
Weekly q divorce from Henry r.
Weekly.
In less than three months after
marriage, she said, he began mending
his clothes on the front lawn. She
said he also hid the soap so that she
could not get the clothes clean.
Mrs. Weekly said he kept tab on
her by looking into the garbage can to
see what she wasted. She could new
er peel the potatoes thin enough, she
said.

]. RUTLAND ASKS DAMAGES

There was an adverse examination
in Court Commissioner Halsted's s
court Wednesday and the case is very
unusual. DR.. P. II. Fowler, physi-
clan of Plain, Or. Otto Sporleder, a
physician of Black Hawk and Joseph
Nachreiner, an undertaken of Plain,
are defendants in an action brought by
John Rutland of Plain. On Decem-
ber Is of last year daughter of Mr..
Rutland was taken i'll and the physi-
clan pronounced it appendicitis. A day
or so after, the daughter died.
In preparing the body for burial the
undertaken was assisted by the physi-
clans. In embalming the body
it is claimed by the plaintiff that more
was done than necessary by the de-
PENDANTS, virtually amounting to an
operation. The daughter was aged
about -15 years. The defendants
are represented by the law firm of

Estate PARK BOARD
AT DEVILS LAKE
Four Pieces of Property are
Appraised by the Mem
bers Thursday.
WILL FILE REPORT SOON
Other Property to be VAL
ued at a Date After Per-
sonal Service.
WILL FILE REPORT SOON

On Thursday Assistant Attorney
General J. E. Messerschmidt of Mad
ison and L. E. Birmingham, l.. g.
Colman and Gustaf r, Egeland of the
state park board visited Devils Lake
and appraised four pieces of property
which are to go TO make up the pro-
posed state park. They came on the
$50 train and left the lake on the 4:30
passenger in the evening. They apprais
ed the four pieces which were advertis-
ed; namely, the American Refractories
company, the Treadwell property and
the two parcels belonging to Miss
Carrie Martin of Virginia. One of the
pieces is between the American Re-
fractories company and the property
formerly owned Iby Mrs. n. q. Kirk,
and the other is at the north end of
the lake where the boat house is Situ-
ated. Miss Martin is sister of DR..
Martin of Merrimack and of G. E.
Martin, formerly of Baraboo.
B. B. Mossman, r. K. Temple,
Louis A. Reinhardt and A. S. Whit
man interested in the American Re-
fractories company were present. The
other property owners were not there.
The board will make report in a
few days of the work done.
The remainder of the property will
be appraised at later date. Personal
service is given in these cases as the
owners reside in Wisconsin.
After the report is made and if the
owners are rot satisfied with the price
fixed by the board they have a right
to appeal. This is seldom done as the
work is usually so satisfactory that the
owners do not care to take the chances
of getting more money after the cost of
litigation is paid in case they think
the valuation is too low.

WOOD TO BURN
Large Shipments Being
Made From Merrimack
to Madison.

&. F. Cooley of NJ adison is shipping
between $50 and 800 cords of wood
from Merrimack to the capital city.
The dry second growth oak is piled all
about the little village station for there
are not enough cars to handle il. The
price paid delivered at the station is
81. 80 per cord and it costs 35c more to
place it on the cars. Charles Helm OF
Caledonia has the greatest amount to
sell and uses four teams in delivering
the staple. He hauls about IA cords
day. The wood will sell in Madison
for $500 to $1,000 per cord. In the
old days when brick were made at
Merrimack the amount of wood de-
livered was very great but that time
has passed.

BARABOO FOLK
WIN TEST CASE
Not Compelled to Pay For
Land on Which They
Could Not Get Title.

Attorney Daniel Ruggles this morn
ing received the decision of Judge
Stevens in the case of the First Ma.
tional Bank of Milwaukee VS.. A. +.
and II. A. Fisher. The judgment is
in favor of the Fisher Bros. and
against the First National Bank.
This is in a way test case and the
decision will be received very CRATE
fully by a large number of local peo-
pie who bought land of the now de-
funct Northern Blue Grass Land
company.
1t appears that several years ago the
Northern Blue Grass Land company
sold certain Dakota lands to local peo-
pie, among whom were the Fisher
Bros, Ruggles, Bentley, Thornton,
Pearson, Foley and others, the pur-
chasers taking land contracts from
the Northern Blue Grass Land COM
pany when buying these lands. 1t
afterwards turned out that the North
erp Blue Grass Land company had no
title to the lands and were unable to
deed the same when called upon, and
in the meantime the Northern Blue
Grassland company had sold the con-
tracts 10 the First National Bank OF
Milwaukee, who endeavored to realize
ON the contract, by suing with the re-
suit that they were unsuccessful.
The Fishers were represented by At
torney Daniel Ruggles of this city, and
the First National Bank was repre-
sented by the well known firm of
Glicksman, Gold d Corrigan, Milwau-
kee.
