R. TRAvERS ALLEN:
CONTEMPT CHARGE

According to the Lacrosse Tribune,
Professor K. Travers Allen. we'll known
in Portage, Reedsburg, Baraboo and
Madison, has performed new trick
by giving all of his money to a lawyer
and his wife cannot get at it. The
Tribune says DR.. Allen, notorious
through his many appearances in the
courts Of Lacrosse county on charges
dealing with the gentler sex, was
again brought in touch with court
procedure this time fol contempt of
court.
Action for divorce was recently
brought by Mrs. Ella Allen, wife of
DR.. Allen. The action was held over
for the September term of the circuit
court and DR.. Allen was ordered to
pay $40 week for the support Of his
wife and child.
Previous to the divorce action.
he turned all of his money over to
Attorney w. E. Wolfe, he being held
in the county Jail for trial at the
September term of court on other
charges. The charge of contempt
brought by Attorney Frank Withrow
was on the grounds of non-payment of
the sum ordered.
AS the penalty of contemptis a Jail
sentence and DR.. Allen is already
confined to the county Jail, no action
could be taken to make him comply
with the court order. The motion
was dismissed and Attorney Wolfe
enjoined from making any disposal of
the money until action has been taken
relative to the divorce action.

BOOK SEVERAL OF PATCHEN FAMILY

The horse races at the Wisconsin
State Fair will be genuine speed
events. This is indicated by the
large number and excellent merit OF
the entries already recorded. The
number of entries in the eight events
already closed nearly equals that Tor
the entire fifteen events last year.
Several of the horses booked are be-
lieved to be faster than any on the
grounds last year. 1t is expected that
some new track records will be estab-
lished.
A. w. Prehn, superintendent or
speed, secured 141 entries for the
eight early closing races. Among
these horses are several which have
made remarkable records during the
last two years, and some of them this
year were racing in mid season form
as early as in June, so that, barring
accidents, they should be in condi-
ton to give excellent exhibitions at
the fair in September, as all of them
will be trained on the best circuits

Newport-An abandoned village on
the Wisconsin river in the town of
DeIton. DR.. A. Jones of Delton says
that Newport was so named because
it was the highest point reached on
the Wisconsin river by the steamers
which made regular trips for some
wears before the old Milwaukee 81 La
Crosse railroad reached the place. j..
T. Huntington of Delton writes
that DR.. Jenkins of Kilbourn advises
him that Newport was named by
Joseph Bradley. Bradley came from
Illinois and when the steamers reached
the village from Galena, the landing
on the Wisconsin was new port.
MIR. Huntington remembers that the
arrival of steamer from down the
river was a great event and the sound
