NelOs Notes of Wisconsin

Mad1son.-Somewha of a furry
has been caused among the northern
members of the legislature by the
discovery that under the terms of a
bill introduced by Assemblyman
Urquhart, creating a new county in
the northwestern part of the state.
the jurisdiction of Sawyer county
over the Dietz family and their trials
on various charges might be seriously
affected. The proposed new county
takes in the Dietz farm, and under
the Wisconsin law, if the bill should
pass and be published before May 2,
the trial of John Dietz might have
to go to the new county. The stat
ute provides that cases arising In ter
ritory annexed to new counties, which
are created before the case pro-
ceeds to trial" must be handled by
the new county. Lawyers here do
not believe the Dietz case has t'pro-
ceeded to trial. and will not until the
trial has been actually begun.
Oconto.-A mare belonging to Ed
ward Classon received a kick on one
OF the hind legs few days ago and
the case developed into tetanus. DR..
w. j. Classon of this city injected
10000 units of anti-toxin and since
then the animal has been improving,
having recovered from the lockjaw,
but still suffering from the kick re-
ceived upon the leg. This case dem
onstrates the efficiency of the use
of anti-toxin in the case of tetanus
in animals
Conference.-The weather has de-
stroyed the ice logging roads and
caused the breaking up of logging
camps in this district three weeks
earlier than usual. Every outgoing
train is filled with homeward bound
lumberjacks. The past winter has
been ideal for logging operations and
the output has been the largest for
several years. About 5000 men were
employed in camps in this county
during the season.
Green Bay.-At the annual meet
ing of the Kewaunee, Green Bay and
Western the Ahnapee and Western
and the lola and Northern roads held
in this city, the following officers
were elected: President, S. S. Pal
mer; vice-president, J. A. Jordan;
secretary-treasurer, G.. w. Cox; gen
eral manager, F. B. Seymour; auditor
and cashier, J. C. Thurman; freight
and passenger agent, j. B. Call.
Madison. McGovern has
appointed the following to the third
national peace conference to be held
in Baltimore, May to 5 inclusive:
Patrick Cudahy, Milwaukee; ex-Lieut.
Gov. Emil Baensch, Manitowoc; B. b.
Northrup, Racine; P. Benson, Su-
perior; President G. r. Van Hise,
Madison, and Dr. Edward Evans, La
Crosse.
Stevens Point.-The body of the
Mosinee last summer has been iden-
tilted as that of Sammy Justus by
his father, who came here from Oma-
ha, Nebr., to recover the remains.
The undertaken who buried the body
has been fined for not securing a
burial permit.
Fond du Lac.--Frank Schaub,
former ball player, now serving
two-year sentence for perjury alleged
to have been given in suit for
diyorce from his first wife, has taken
y appeal to the state supreme court.

Sullivan looked at the little man
with sulky blue eyes.
1T was something like that, any
how. But it was a nasty business,
and it made matters worse that he
didn't care that a telegram which
must pass through half dozen hands
was more or less discriminating to me.
Then, to add to the unpleasantness
of my position, just after we boarded
