Every effort on the part of the de-

that during the European journey he
had never seen Schenk under the in

Hester kept the remainder of the
money and witnessed couple of NOV

for over year.
His mother, careworn woman, was
in court. She said that she had to
work every day in the thread mills,
and had tried often to get the lad to go
to school, but without success. Her
husband. it appears, does very little
work, and when he managed TO earn
any money spends it for drink.

do so. As the trio was leaving the

LOST TWO BOARDERS.

Sheriff Frank O'Connor has lost two
of his boarders, and he is shedding no
tears over the matter. They are
Tony Imperio and Philip Roberti,
charged with the murder of the Villas
county sheriff, John Radcliffe. They
were taken before Judge Reid yester-
day afternoon and arguments made
for their admission to bail. Bail for
Imperio was fixed at $4,000 and for
Roberti at $4,000. At the same time
permission was given to remove them
from the Marathon county jail.
1t is probable that they will be sue
cessful in securing bail. There APP
pears to be powerful organization
back of them, and it is quite likely
that italian friends will come to their
rescue.
The Italians were taken to Milwau-
kee this noon by Sheriff w. III. Rad
cliffe, son of the murdered man, and
his deputies Jas. Oberholtzer and
Harry Mcintyre. They will be kept
there until some other disposition is
made of them.
The accused men are bad looking
whelps, Roberti especially.
1t is rumored that the money for
their bail is ready, and only waits the
formality of drawing papers. In that
event the result can be imagined.
The shooting of Sheriff Radcliffe,
sorrowful though it was, has borne
fruit in the fact that it has opened
the eyes of the officers of nearly all
cities in the northern section to the
danger of allowing Italians, Greeks,
ETC., to coloniZe in community.
There is a whole lot of justice in the
discriminatory provisions of the
immigration laws.

NO MORE POOR BRIDGES.

With the beginning of the threshing
season, news items recounting the
details of accidents caused by weak
bridges and heavy engines will begin
to appear The size of traction
engines used in threshing has been
steadily increasing, and with this
increase in the size of engines has
come an increased numberof accidents
due to weak bridges. The legislature
of 1911 recognizing this, has enacted
several laws designed to make the
strength of bridges built in the future
ample to take care of any increase in
the loads they may be called upon to
carry. One of these Chapter 642,
Laws of 19lD provides that all iron,
steel or concrete bridges with spans
of more than four feet built or re-
paired in the state shall be designed
to carry, without planking, all loads
up to fifteen tons. All iron, steel or
concrete culvertS of four feet span or
less, must be made safe for all loads
up to eighteen tons. Another enact

of one per cent. in towns valued at

bridges built in the future will be

LORE OF THE WEDDING RING
PurItans VainIy Sought to Abolish the

According to the ancient ritual in
marriage the husband began the ring
business by placing it upon the brides
thumb and putting 1t successfully on
the next two fingers, pronouncing for
each one a personal trinity, with a
final amen when the fourth finger was
reached. and there the ring remained.
The Greek church ritual directs that
the ring be placed upon the right
hand Puritan influence sought to
abolish the ring as vain and heather
