ADMITS MURDER OF GIRL.
'sDoeskin'' Johson Abducted Annie
Lemberger.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 13.-John'
otherwise known as ''Dogskin" John
son, tonight confessed to the abduc-
ton and murder of little Annie Lem
berger, the seven-year-old child,
whose body was found in Lake Mon
ona last Saturday. He was immedl-
ately sentenced by Judge Anthony
Donovan to life Imprisonment.
A few minutes afterwards john
son was taken in an automobile by
Sheriff Andrew Brown to the State
prison at Waupun. It had been fear
ed that Johnson might be lynched.
Johnson was arrested Saturday on
suspicion, but after being questioned
he was released. The officers had
him under surveillance all day and
in the evening once more placed him
under arrest.
Although the police strongly sus-
pected Johnson of knowing something
about the crime they could not fas-
ten guilt upon him absolutely. On
the strength of their suspicion, how
ever, he was taken into court to-day,
pleaded not guilty and was placed
under a $4,000 bond, the prelimin-
ary examination being set for Sep
tember Is. The prisoner was then
taken back to his cell. He was plain
ly frightened.
Toward evening Turnkey John Foye
was called by Johnson and told he
wished to make a confession. CHIEF
of Police Shaughnessy was informed
and sent for District Attorney R. N.
Nelson, the county prosecutor, chief
of police and other officials soon gath
cred about the court house, where
the prisoner, before Donovan, con-
fessed to the crime.
Johnson said the deed was the re-
suit of a sudden impulse. He had
watched through the window the lit
tie girl and her sister undress at bed
time on numerous occasions, and on
the fateful night, shortly after the
children had fallen asleep, he raised
the sash and snatched little Annie
from the bed, dragged her through
the window and struck her unconsci-
Gus so there would be no outcry. He
then took her to the railroad bridge
and after beating her until life was
extinct, threw the body into Lake
Monona.

ASSAULT ON GIRL CHARGED.
Ernest Rollins, Of Greer, in Spartan.
burg Jail Awaiting Trial.

Spartanburg, Sept. 1S.-Ernest
Rollins, "a young white man OF
Greer, was tonight arrested by Con-
stable Mccall on a warrant issued
by MAGISTRATE K, M. Bowden and
sworn out by the Rev. Mack R. 1.
Caldwell, pastor of Beaumont Chap
ell. The warrant alleges that Rol-
Inns, who is married man, about
30 years old, attempted to criminally
assault a relative of the prosecutor.
It is charged th lat on Sunday even
ing while the ADung ladyin question
was visiting at Greer, Rollins en-
tered the room, in which two young
ladies were sleeping together; that
he choked his intended victim to in
consciousness, and before his pur-
pose was carried out the other young
lady was awakened and gave the
alarm.
The little town of Greer was much
wrought up over the act Of Rollins,
and when officers had made the ar
rest there we're plans for lynching
the prisoner, according to a state
ment of Constable Mccall. Howev-
er, no violent hands were laid on
the man, and he was brought to this
city and lodged in the county jail to
await preliminary hearing, which
will be held as soon as the witnesses
can be summoned.

CONGRESS FIXES PRICES.
Resolved that Farmers Must Hold
Cotton for Fifteen Cents.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 13.-Five
hundred farmers, and as many bank
ers congressman, United States SEN
ators and business men, representing
every cotton growing State in Ameri-
ca, declared in convention to-day that
the farmers cotton is worth Is cents
a pound, and resolved that the farm
er should hold his cotton for that
price. The resolution followed a
committee report that the crop in
America would not exceed 12,500,000
bales.
For financing the crop of this year,
a resolution was adopted to the ef-
feet that the farmer should deposit
his cotton in a warehouse and use
his receipt as collateral until he could
sell his cotton at not less than IS
cents. There was also resolution
urging that the several State legis-
latures should provide for system
of bonded warehouses.
Organization Made Permanent.
Declaring that organization among
the farmers, and cooperation among
them with the bankers and 1nanciers,
was the solution of the problem, the
convention resolved itself into a per-
manent organization, to be known as
the Southern Cotton Congress, and ad-
journed to meet in Atlanta at the call
of the president, E. j.. Watson, COM
missioner of agriculture of South
Carolina.
The meeting in Montgomery IS to
be followed by a similar convention
in every Southern State, t. be call
ed by the commissioners G: agricul-
ture of each State. By these conven-
tions the action of the congress IS to
be ratified and reinforced by further
steps toward securing better price
for cotton.

Twice Convicted.

Another lawyers story arrives.
We are told that man was charged
with picking a. pocket the other day
and that when arraigned he pleaded
guilty" The case went to the jury,
however, and the verdict was mot
guilty." And the court spake as fol-
lows:

out a stain on your character. BY
your own confession you are a thief.
By the verdict of the jury you are
a liar."- Plain Dealer.

SLIPPED ON PEEL OF BANANA.
May Result in Crippling for Life Of
Man Who Stepped on IL.

The Greenvilie Piedmont says
testimony to the effect that the
city ordinance against the throwing
OF banana peels on the sidewalk of
tne cfty's streets Is not enforced as
IL should be, and that failure to
enforce the law puts pedestrians in
n precarious situation is borne by
said incident that occurred recent
~, barely failing to cause death to
a Greenville resident.
Mr.. Robert Nash, a man who has
hyed here for about eleven months,
having come here from Virginia,
was walking down Main street near
the postoffice building a week ago.
Near the corner of Main and Broad
streets he slipped on a banana peel
and fell to the sidewalk, the base of
MS spine striking the pavement.
The foot that stepped upon the
peeling went high into the air and
he suffered a hard fall.
Persons on the street came to
the aid of Mr.. Nash and he was
taken to the Salvation Army cita-
del where he was given medical at
tention and Drs. Black and Brown
nave been attending him since. It
was found that the base of Nash g
spine was fractured and that the
nerves were badly deranged.
Nash has suffered terrible pains
and 1t is likely that he will never
walk again. The attending physi-
clan said that the injuries may
neal, but the chances are that
ne will never again have the use
OF his limbs. His legs have been
numb and feelingiess since the fall.
1t Is thought that the break in the
spine will heal but that his nerv-
Gus system will never be whole
again and that this will prevent
further use of the legs.
Nash is a young man and rather
tall and 1t is believed that his
nelght made the fall more serious.
1t Is thought that If it had been
an old man to suffer the fall death
would have resulted. However,
Nash, being young man, the
wounds will not prove fatal.
