Attempt Shoe Store.

Evidently after the burglars were
successful in stealing good supply of
clothing they intended to get pair or
two of shoes. A hole large enough to
permit hand to pass through was cut
in the wooden door IN the back of M.
FL. Schey's shoe store. The key was
left in the lock an d for second the
burglars thought they had everything
their way but small bolt thrust in
the casing of the door and out of reach
of the thieves played the part of the lad
who saved Holland by holding his
finger in the dixie. The windo ws
were also attempted to be raised and
under one of them was found a fiat
jimmy used as a wedge. The device
which was used by the robbers is part
or an airbrake on boxcar or locomotive
and w. Il. Marriott states that he has
one of them in his possession at pres
ent which enabled Sullivan to enter

Mrs. Angeline Campbell Mrs. Cordea Sprock
En- ioying Visit After Separation of Fifty-eght Years
Photo by Mould.

Two sisters are holding reunion in
Baraboo after a separation of over
fifty years. That is a longer period
than most people have lived and in
that time the great west has been
peopled, states created and cities
founded.
The two sisters are Mrs. Angeline
Campbell, 7O8 Walnut street, Baraboo,
and Mrs. Cordelia Spirlock of Plumb
Station, Washington. The separation
came rs the result of the death of
their mother and is story of broken
family ties which one often meets in
connection with the migrations of
people. Mrs. Spirlock has come from
Washington TO see her sister, the out
ward trip requiring six months but
the return journey taking about ahalf
as many days.
The sisters were born in Vermont
and came to Wisconsin. with their
people vixen quite young. The jour-
ney was made by rail, by boat and by
team. There was no bridge across the
Wisconsin river and it was necessary
TO cross on ferry.
They found home on Cassel prairie
west of Sauk City and resided there
until their mother died. Mrs. Camp
bell took up her home with another
family which moved to Grand Rapids,
Wis, and Mrs. Spirlock, then child
of four years, went to reside with Mr.
and Mrs. E. B. Plumb. When Mrs.
Spirlock was twelve, and eight years
after she had seen her sister, Mr.. and
Mrs. Plumb and a number of others
from Sauk City decided to move to-
the state of Washington. That was
no easy task then for there were no
railroads across the continent and by
wagon train the Journey must be
made. With OK teams, covered
wagons and necessary supplies, the
caravan set forth from Sauk County
to brave trails unknown and Indians
with uncertain intentions. Among
those who went from Sauk county be-
sides the Plumb family were Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Mason, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Mason, James Mason, Alvah
Plumb, George Hubbard, M. Holmes
and others. The journey was begun
May, 1861, soon after the news had
been received that Fort Sumpter had
fallen and before the first great battle
of the Civil war had been waged. 1t
was six months before their destina-
ton was reached.

Burglars Enter Southside
Department Store During
The Night.
Arthur Farnsworth

Friday night was large one for
burglars on the southside as the Peck
department store was broken into and
a bold attempt made at entering the
Schey shoe store.
The bolt locking the window at the
rear of the grocery apartment of the
Peck store was broken by means of
prying with piece of iron. On the
Inside heavy wooden shutter cover
ing the whoe window and held with
four bolts was smashed in. The burg
lars took nothing but wearing apparel
and Judging from the goods stolen
there were three robbers in the deal as
three suits of clothes, three overcoats,
three suits of underwear, hats, neck
ties, collars, socks and other articles
were among the things taken. An
overcoat and suit of underwear were
taken from the show window and
were among the best garments in the
store. The marble plate was removed
from the top of the cash register but
there was no money in the drawer to
be taken. Mr. Peck estimates the
value of the goods stolen to be about
$3.50.

Story of the Journey.

Mrs. Spirlock was twelve years old,
as before stated. and has vivid recol-
lections of that caravan journey into
the new land. The covered wagons
with oxen for motive power slowly
crept across Iowa to Omaha
which was then the great supply
station for immigrants crossing
the plains to Utah or the coast.
Here the wagons were loaded with
necessities and with many others the
journey was continued. Indians were
numerous and often hostile so that it
was advisable to travel in as large
companies as possible. The caravan
moved up along the Platte river. the
most frequented route in those days.
When night came on, the wagons were
drawn up in circle and the stock
turned louse within the enclosure.
This was done for two reasons, to pre-
vent the Indians stealing the animals

COUNTY BOARD
DISCUSSES ROADS
~ :
Salary of the Highway
Commissioner Fixed at
$1,000.
EXPENSES ARE ADDITIONAL
Some Doubts as to the
Value of the Highway
Commission.
EXPENSES ARE ADDITIONAL
wRom fridays Daily

Supervisors Nehs, Buerki and Steck-
elberg reported that they thought the
highway commissioner should be paid
a salary of 81 800 year for term of
three years, the sum to include his
travelling expenses. Some OF the
members of the finance committee OBJ
iected to this, as it did not definitely
state what the expenses were to in
clude. The law was consulted and
District Attorney Malone was asked
for his opinion. Mr.. Malone said the
law applied the same as to the county
superintendent, a stated sum for the
salary and expenses additional.
Highway Commissioner Post was
called upon to state what his expenses
were during the past season and re-
piled about 1925. This did not include
the deterioration of his automobile
which had chugged over $500 miles of
the roads In the county. He said he
would take $500 less for the machine
than when first purchased.
Somebody then wanted to know
how many days in year the commits
sion should work and he replied 720.
(Laugh 'er.) He went on to tell of
some of the demands made and was,
not slow to state that much was ex-
pected.

Fixing Salaries.
Supervisors Welk, Rsgatz and Fry
compose a committee TO fix the salaries
of the county officers to be elected in
1912.
Some Opposed TO Free Travelling
Libraries.
The report of the travelling library
officers created lot of discussion by
the members of the toard. II was re-
ported that there were % libraries Of
40 or so books each and that $23.67 re-
manned in the treasury. The sum of
S2C0 was asked for new books and
other expenses. No lsooner was the
report read than Supervisor Barnett
of La Vale desired to know, if lit was
compulsory for the county TO main
tain the travelling libraries. He was
not against the books being circulated
but had been asked by some of his
constituents and desired some light on
the subject.
Supervisor Il. b, Dickie Of Freedom,
spoke several times against the institu-
ton and said there were entirely too
many books. He believed there were
enough good books in Sauk county
garrets to furnish all the reading
necessary and said that if man had
copy of Shakespeare and few others
he would have enough reading to last
him from the time he was ten years
old until he was sixty. He asked all
the members who had read travelling
library book to hold up their hands
and five responded.
Supervisor Welk of Baraboo said it
was all the scheme of the book trust to
sell goods.
Supervisor Goodell of Lime Ridge
said that In this community there was
great demand for the books and the
children were happy to get have them.
Supervisor Perry of Reedsburg add
ed that 1000 was being spent in his
town for library. He was strongly
in favor of maintaining the travelling
libraries. Supervisor Harvey of VAL
! ton spoke strong words for the books
and Chairman CLARK was also en-
phatic in retaining the libraries for the

the sewer problem because the city of
Reedsburg failed to provide for this
necessity as agreed upon. The maple
floor took on some beautiful updula-
tions like skyrocket in zig gag fall

Who Is Right?

About this time Supervisor Horkan
rose to his feet and said that when the
road was being built near Reedsburg
there was no material part of the time
and that the men were idle long
time at heavy expense to the county.
Mr.. Horkan thought $500 or $4OO at
least had been squandered and could
not be accounted for.
Mr.. Post refused to take any blame
for the men being idle and told Mr.
Horkan that Ableman rock was not
bought because he (Horkan) did not
want the money to go out of the town
to the Granite company, that better
gravel was not used because he Hor-
kan) desired the material obtained in
the town in order to keep the money
at om3. Mr.. Post further said that
gravel could have been obtained at 10
cents per yard but the price was raised
on the material used to 25 cents aud
then reduced to p cents per yard. He
told the supervisor it was nothing but
a dirt road anyway.
There was a mighty warm debate
for several minutes and then Chaira
man Clark raped for order.

repealed. The law is full of loopholes
and with all IS provisions it is in
