HObOeS in the Tolls.

While an extra freight train on the
Milwaukee road was on a siding at
the depot at 700 o'clock Saturday am, a
man entered the car but the night
operator and a lineman who saw him,
got after the fellow and landed him
in the depot to await an officer.
While attending to other duties the
watch on the fellow was relaxed and
he took leg bail. All he took from the
car was lemon.
He said he did not break the seal
but that it was done by tramps. He
claimed to be shoe cutter for the
M. d. Wells company and had been
on a spree The police were notified.
Shortly after, the culprit was ap-
pretended by Chief of Police Block
and landed in Jail. No charges have
been preferred against him and it is
said he will be released.
Three hobos James Costello, Dav-
export, Iowa, Joseph Dougherty, Du-
buque, Iowa, Dan Connolly, ST. Joe,
Mo-, were arrested this morning for
the alleged holdup of man in the
yards of the Milwaukee road at the
junction Friday night. The complain
ant was Bernard Hedman, a tailor of
Madison, who was in the city in quest
of work Hedman was struck across
the head with a cane and rendered
unconscious and the hobos went
through his pockets and took an
empty purse and a union working
card. The three men were taken be-
fore Justice w. d. Stacy and the case
was adjourned until July 25. They
were held without bail and committed
to the Jefferson county Jail.

In the base ball game on Sunday be-
tween OcOnOmOWOc and WatertoWn at
the first mentioned place, the locals lost
a game that should have easily gone
to Watertown, they having the game 6
to 2 up to the eighth inning. The final
score was to 6. Four hundred local
enthusiasts, including band, followed
the Watertown team and one hundred or
more would have gone had the accom-

MAKING SHOT.
The Tower Process Used Only For the
Smaller Sizes.

The Tower Process Used Only For the
Smaller Sizes.
The tower process of making shot
was invented by William Watts 4
plumber of Bristol, England, in 1859.
His tower was built" by saving
square hole In the center of the various
floors of his house and locating a well
in the cellar. into which the globules
Of molten lead dropped and were in
stantly cooled and hardened. Watts
secured a patent in 1852 and sold his
London rights in 1900 for $48,885.
His tower is still in use, although it
has been heightened by the addition Of
several stories. The lead when molten
fl poured into sieve-like receptacle
at the top Of the tower. and these
molten drops. falling into the well.
120 feet below, form the shot. which
are then passed through polishing
grader. They are then spilled from a
hopper on to ansinclined plane, the per-
feet shot runntng on second plane.
while the imperfect drop through an
opening between. The shot pass over
four series Of planes, and only the per-
feet reach the last plane.
A larger size than BBB cannot b.
made by this process. The larger
sizes. including shrapnel. are made by
two different processes. In the me-
dunn size wire OF the proper ma
terial is fed into q machine which
mashes it into ribbon shape and
punches irregular formed shot The
largest are made by pouring the metal
into long bullet mods, which, in cool.
ing, form irregular shot. The various
sizes are then placed, each by itself,
in gins. which are revolved for six
hours, when the shot come out perfect

; Declined the invitation.
A somewhat striking story dealing
with the now obsolete conventional
suicide, harakiri. or happy dispatch "
once common in Japan, was once told
by the French Admiral Gourdon.
When he was young man he had a
comrode who. having assisted in the
organizing Of the Japanese navy, was
subsequently raised to the rank Of ad-
mirai in that force. He took the part
of the tycoon against the mikado in
the revolutionary war and, having
been captured. was tried by court mar
tiaI and sentenced to death, which in
those days implied harakirl. When.
however. the fatal sword was pre-.
scented to him he fatty refused to Kill
himself and declared that If he was
to die somebody else must kill him.
Threats and entreaties alike proved
unavailing. He resolutely refused. The
whole Of Japan was scandalized at
such immoral behavior, which. how
ever, saved his life. The Japanese
penal code had never contemplated
such contingency as a man inhuman
enough to refuse the harakir1, and in
the end he was banished from the
country and returned to France.

case came to the supreme court on
appeal by the defendant and the court
held the plaintiff guilty of contribu-
tory negligence. and set the verdict
aside. Then Lee brought an action
under a state statute which provides
that dealer in kerosene and gasoline
is liable for any damages resulting
from an action through the sale of
oil which has not been inspected by
he state. This oil, which contained
gasoline, had not been officially in
spected. The defendant Morrison de-

PRIMITIVE SURVEYING.
Beers With the Fleetest Horses Got
the Biggest Farms.

Beers With the Fieetest Horses 0o'
tho Biggest Farms.
According to legend Of Shutdown
N. T., the township was originally
measured of by primitive method.
The first settler was one Smith, who
bought from the Indians as much land
az a bull could 60 around in day.
Now, Smith had a smart bull. trained
to carry him and to half trot and half
lope at a rapid pace. That day the
bull was up to the mark. BY night he
had tnclosed so much land that the
amazed Indians nicknamed its rider
Bull Smith.
This tradition has its counterpart
among the Beers Of South Africa.
Their "runs." as the farms Of these
Dutchmen are called, contain, general
" speaking. from 1000 to 5000 acres.
Of which only few acres are under
cultivation. Small monuments OF
stones piled up at certain points mark
the boundary lines.
The first settlers. knowing nothing
OF surveying. measured ou tA~aA
runs" by horsepower. Having piled
up a lot of stones. the Beers would
start from them and ride in straight
line for half an hour as fast as their
horses could carry them.
Hating, each rider would build an.
other beacon and again ride for half
an hour at right angles to his first line
Then he woul1 pile up another stone
beacon. Two more turns and an hour
more of riding brought him back to
his starting point
The square tract inclosed within the
two hours ride and the four beacons
became his farm. OF course the Boer
who owned the deetest horse obtained
the largest tract of land.-.WIgtE
