To Editor of MI. VERNON SIGNAL, /!
My dear sir
Would you be kind enough to
allow me space in your paper for
this article. | am tax payer in
the town of Brodhead. have lived
in said town nearly all my life and
while / am poor man, have
Al all times made it a point to
do all in my power to assist in
every way possible to build up
the town. l notice in the last
issue of your valuable paper your
Brodhead correspondent writes an
article in reference to side walks
being built in our town. He
states that our town board passed
an ordinance on last Wednesday
night that one and one hall mile OF
concrete side walk must be made
not later than Aug. Ist. 1912. He
says in this article that a number
of citizens were present at the
meeting of said board. l am sorry
to say that the number was very
small and I do know that two
thirds of the tax payers who are
now and have been opposed to
the proposed plan that has been
mapped out by the town board to
build our sidewalks. l know of
property owners who do live and
own property on the proposed
route that these sidewalks will
benefit by running directly in front
of their doors, who are positively
against the way this board is
trying to force the side walks to
be built. 1 again know that the
town board has made all kinds o..
promises to different citizens in
Our town who never had side wllk>
in front of their property and W ho
pay their tax every year that they
would build side walks for them.
I know that they have never Yet
made an effort in any way to
build these walks. / am tax
payer as 1 have told you and pay a
large tax and it does look ike
that if our money is to go to build
these walks that it should and
ought to be divided more &c tally
than the proposed route thar has
been planned. Now don't I'm Ter
stand me to be against side walks.
but l am against the plan Of some
few individuals saying, wha' We
should do. 1 am perfectly willing
20 do all / can TO assist in making
these walks, but am opposed to
the route they have laid out. You
must remember that we have good
citizens who have never received
any benefit from the money that
has been expended in our town
and now these very people are to
De deprived of the side walks if
hey are built as they have been
nopped out. Fair play is my
MOTTO. But in my judgement this
Gems 70 be a one sided issue. If
you are to build side walks doesn't
1t look like you could divide the
hing up a little. The route in
lew is the very highest ground in
he town and only few low bad
places. Just look in other direct
ions of our town and examine for
yourselves and see if it would not
ne better to spend some of this
money you have in the town
treasury in making these sidewalks
on some of our streets down IL tn.

Amos Barron of Lyons is a veteran
of the Civil war who saw great deal
of active service from 1852 TO 1865. Mr..
Barron doesl not talk much about his
war time experience, but can tell some
very interesting stories of those stir
ring times.
In all the battles, fights and skirm-
ishes that he took part in, he was
wounded but once, although bullets
cut his clothing on several different
occasions.
He was twenty-one years of age
when he enlisted, August End, 1862, at
Newark, n. j., in Go. II, 18th regi-
ment infantry.
His regiment had guns issued to
them on September End, 1862, and on
September 18th they took part IN the
battle Of Antietan, Gen. Mcclellan
commanding. They di not loose
much time in those days in getting the
raw recruit to the front.
Mr.. Barron's next important battle

SHOULD A MAN LEAVE A FOR
FEITlNG WILLP

When man dies should he leave a
will forbidding an heir TO marry on
pain of forfeitiug . fortunea Some:
times men do and case OF this ehafae=
ter has inst come TO light III Fhiadel=
phia. An eastern paper says that
stove dealer, 81 years old, suppes ed TO
be bachelor, has just died, his death
revealing the fact that he married
secretly eight years ago. During those
eight years his wife, under the name Of
Miss Simmons, had lived but block
away, and was known 10 the family,
who had no suspicion of their con
nection till they had found her at the
hospital where her husband died. The
reason was that he had inherited from
his father $25O,OOO with the proviso
that he should forfeit it if he married,
and now the natural question is what
is to be done with the fortune. What
ever may be the legal soundness of
such wills, they are morally wrong.
They exert formidable pressure of
temptation either to fraudulent evasion
like this or to an arrangement which,
while it does not affect the will, is
even more unjust to the woman con-
cerned.

Professionalism
Again In
Tolls

Professor r.. Travers Allen, niue
known in Baraboo and Portage, has
discarded the proverbial rabbits foot.
The M adison Democrat says:
r.. +. Allen was rearrested on a sta
tutory charge yesterd iy afternoon after
he had been discharged on COM
plant made against him by Alice
Billig.
fThis Is an attempt to drive this
man out of the city," declared At'or-
ney f. l.. Gilbert, council for the de-
PENDANT.
''That is pretty strong statement
and resent it because it is not true"
fetorted District Attorney Nelson.
In dismissing the case Justice John
=. Fehlandt announced that the evil
dence was not sufficient to hold Mr.
Allen for trial. While Mr.. Nelson was
making the motion for dismissal,
Chief Shaughnessy took Mr.. Allen out
OF The courtroom and read the new
complaint to him.
Mr.. Allen is CHI arged with having
committed statutory offense with
Bernida Pufahl who is now out of the
city. The state will attempt TO show
that he and Miss Pufahl registered at
local hotel, Miss Pufahl going under
the name of Della Allen, while Mr.
Aliens wife was i'll at Baraboo and
Miss Billig was taking care of her.
Mr.. Gilbert entered plea of not
guilty and announced that he would
express his opinion in the ma ter at
some other time. He was prepared to
proceed with the preliminary exami-
nation at once but Mr.. Nelson stated
that he had several other cases to dis
pose of.

Many P eople Assisted In
Killing an Ironton
Bear.
THE TWENTIETH STORY.

[ will not write a long story this
time but just give hint or two as to
how killed bear. If you are going
to kill bear do not let him know you
are excited. If he finds you are get
ting nervous he will get away every
time.
Well, in October, 1858 or 1859, we
were all eating supper except mother
who had gone to the far spring to get
pail of water. We had two springs,
the far and the near spring, as the old
folks called them. Suddenly we
heard a racket towards lhe road and
there stood mother with the hogs
about her. A bout fifteen or twenty
feet east of her stood the biggest bear [
had ever seen, looking at mother and
the little pigs which were all around.
L hurriedly reached up over the
door, got the gun and motioned to
mother to stand still. Resting the
weapon against the side of the door
casing, [ fired. The load shattered
bruins shoulder blade. He gave a
grunt or two and started for the
woods. [ attempted to load the gun
and not finding any balls, grabbed a
butcher knife, cut off couple of slugs
from a bar of lead and rolled them on
the floor with my foot until | could
get them in the gun.
AS L started | told my sister to make
me some balls and bring them to the
woods. hurried after the bear with
two slugs in the gun and after
going about forty rods [ came close to a
big tree top with plenty of dried leaves
about it. In going the only way

PROF. ROSS REASONS.

Prof. e. A. Ross, the distinguished
sociologist of the University of Wis
consin, is firm believer in woman
suffrage for several reasons. He says:
81 favor the extension of suffrage to
women both because of it's stimulating
and broadening effect upon them, and
because I believe that in the solution
of problems relating to health, sex,
morality, child welfare and the home,
women will contribute an experience
and attitude of their own which is
complementary to that of men and
equally valuable"

Sank County Bear Stories

stood right up in front of me and not
more than five feet away. | had to
take step or two backward in order
to get room 10 shoot and when the
gun was discharged he went straight
up into the air, then hurried down
through the woods on dog trot. By
this time the vicinity was alive with
folks and my sister came running
with the balls. [ loaded again and
followed bruin short distance and
shot him through the ear. That
finished him.
Then the folks began to come up.
My father had the garden rake, uncle
John Kinnaman had an old rusty shot
gun with no load in it and others with
silly war clubs. OF course they all
helped to kill the bear.
About a week after this | heard
someone hallooing and saw a man
running across the field bareheaded.
He shouted for my brother and | told
him my brother was not there.

it had killed. With gun and shot pouch

battle of Gettysburg, his regiment be-
ing in the fight on July 1st, End and
Sd, 1868. He was somewhat to the
right of the union center at the time of
Pickett's famous charge but near
enough so that he could see them
driven back, though fighting desper-
ately hand to hand with the bayonets
and butts of their muskets.
After Gettysburg he was transferred
to the west and the first big battle in
which he was engaged after being
transferred was that of Lookout Noun
tain, where Fighting Joe was again in
command.
The army then moved toward
Atlanta and before arriving there was
engaged in two fights, that of Kenesaw
Mountain and Big Shanty; then came
the battle of Atlanta after which Mr..
Barron was one of those who made
that famous march with Sherman to
the sea.
DutlhS CAAo LAdICu MI DdIIUu says
there was skirmishing with the enemy
nearly every day.
After the surrender of Savannah,
they invaded North Carolina and on
March Is, 1865, in the fight at Hams
borough, N. c., Mr.. Barron was
wounded, bullet striking him in the
face and passing downward, lodged in
his throat where it came within the
fraction of an inch of cutting the
jugular vein.
With other wounded soldiers he was
sent back to Newark, n. j., to the
hospital. While they were being
taken on board ship to go home they
heard the news of Lees surrender.
Mr.. Barron recovered from his wound
and was discharged from service July
II, 1865.
During his service Mr.. Barron saw
President Lincoln on two occasions,
when he reviewed the army at Mary
land Heights, and again at Stafford
Courthouse.
Mr.. Barron was born in New Jersey,
20, 1S41, and came to Bara-
boo at the time of the hop crash in
1868. His father preceded him.
