VIII Keep Up Fight.

When Burrell Oates was advised
by a representative of this paper
that his case had been affirmed
he plainly showed that he was dis
appointed. He declared that he
would keep up the fight for free
dom until the last. He maintains
that he is innocent regardless OF
the verdict of six juries to the
contrary.

''The jury, however, could not
agree with him on the facts and
the court at last has given the de-

must, therefore, conclude by say
ing that under the record here pre-
scented we believe there is no such
error as would justify a reversal
of the judgment. and it must be
affirmed"

by the lower courts six times and
securing new trials on TECHNICAL
ties several times.
The opinion was written by Pre-
siding Judge Davidson, who has
heretofore reversed this case four
times This was the fifth appeal
for a reversal of the verdict Of a
trial court by this noted negro
criminal who has six times had the
sentence Of death passed upon him
for the murder OF Sol Aronoff in
his suburban store at Dallas on the
night Of November 20, 1904 Oates
mad five trials and four convictions
IN Dallas county The last trial
there resulted in hung jury. In
the two trials in Ellis county Oates
was convicted and given the death

CHEAP HOUSES IN
UPPER WISCONSIN

The family thinking of getting back
to the soil naturally wants to know
something about the cost OF houses i'll
the locality in question. This is emf
nently proper, and indicates concern
for the welfare of the family.
in this regard, the cheap lands of up
per Wisconsin offer advantages. If linn
tied means preclude the modern idea of
a frame, brick or otherwise constructed
home comfortable one may be built
of logs, that while new, answers the
purpose handsomely.
Later on, or at the beginning, if
means permit, frame house can be
built in the upper Wisconsin counties
at a minimum cost.
Much of the land now available for
settlement still has upon it sufficient
logs not taken by the lumbermen to
answer the needs of the settler. In
this case the cost of lumber would lie
in the work (Which can be done in the
winter) of cutting and hauling, and g
saving bill of about $4 per thousand
feet, which can, if desired, be paid for
in labor 1t follows that to secure
building lumber is a matter of industry
upon the part of the settler.

GAME WARDENS TAKE EXAMINA-
TION AT MADISON

On Friday last 4. G. Russell and d
H. Smith returned from Madison where
they attended competitive examina-
tbon of Game Wardens from all over
sense OF the word success. DR.. Palm
er of the Department of Agriculture of
Washington, D. c., attended and gave
some very instructive talks on game
protection and the laws of different
states. Resolutions were drawn up,
respecting the changing of some of the
game laws, which will be presented at
next meeting of the Legislature, one
being to have a closed season on Black
Bear. Russell was the only one out, of
66 wardens who opposed the measure.
Tuesday, July 9th, the wardens march
ed in a body to the University of Wis
consin, and the professor gave an in
structive and lengthy talk on the econ
omic value of birds. In the afternoon
the meeting was held in the assembly
hall in the Capitol building, where all
present had the written examination
for advancement. Then came the
physical examination, followed next
day by an oral examination in which
all participated. Tuesday evening Gov.
McGovern addressed the assemblage,
and complimented them ~on the good
work done during the past year.
Thursday all the boys started for
their respective homes throughout the
state, where they will be anxiously
awaiting the examination. Sixty-six
wardens attended the meeting. The
Department is to be run on the merit
system; those deserving more pay will
receive more; the number of unwise
arrests will count against the applicant.
