DELAYS of Justice.

A man has been arrested in Aus
tralia for murder committed at CHS
wick in 1908. Legal records supply in
stances of a longer interval than this
between the crime and the arrest. The
leading case is that of Eugene Aram,
who was hanged for the murder of
Clarke fourteen years after the Of
tense. In the eighteenth century
man named Horne was executed for
the murder of his child 35 years after
the crime. There is also the we'll
known case of Governor Wall, who
was hanged in 1902 for a murder com
mitted in 1882. But Sir James Ste
phens recalls what is surely the most
remarkable case on record. He prose
cuted, as counsel for the crown, in
1868, a man who was charged with
stealing a leaf from a parish registry
sixty years before.

MEXICAN REBELS
EXECUTE AMERICAN
Captain Fountain of Federal

TRIED BY COURT MARTIAL
Slain Because He Removed and Sc

Villa Was Forced to
Retreat.

FL Paso, Tex. Thomas Foun-
tain of Las Cruces, N. NJ, captain
of a federal gun under Gen. Pancho
Villa, was executed by Mexican rebels,
according to the news brought here
by an American newspaper man who
has just returned from Parral, Next
co, with 1874 American and other for
eign refugees.
When Villa retreated last Thursday
night Fountain removed parts OF the
piece and concealed himself in pri-
vate residence. The occupants were
ignorant that they had guest in
part of the house seldom visited.
The American was driven by thirst
and hunger to reveal his presence
Sunday, after u hours Of self-imposed
torture. He was armed with revol-
yer, but made no resistance. Monday
he was compelled to show the rebels
where he had secreted the missing
parts of his rapid-tire gun, was tried
by court-martial and condemned to
death, apparently for having disabled

fort to get modification of the SEN
tence, bat without avail. American
Consul Letcher at Chihuahua sent to
General SaIazar what is believed to
have been an appeal from Washington
that his life be spared.
In Mexico they have recourse to
what is known as the law Of flight"
under which a prisoner who has been
condemned but where there exists a
doubt as to the legality of the SEN
tence, is allowed his freedom within
certain limits. The prisoner knows
that his fate is sealed. Even ii he does
not walk step, from some unexpect-
ed quarter the fatal bullet will come,
and the report will be made that he
was shot while lin flight.
1t was thus in Fountains case. He
told the correspondent that there was
no hope, but strolled about the streets
awaiting death. When his body was
brought in it contained four bullet
wounds, made by shots fred from be-
hind.
Fountain was a son of Col Albert
Fountain, a noted lawyer OF New Mex
leo, who was mysteriously murdered
many years ago.

SPECIAL SESSION
WILL Be SHORT
Governor Hopes Work Can Be
Concluded in One Week
TO CONFER WITH OFFICIALS
All Bills to Be Considered Have Been
Drafted and Copies Are Being Sent
to the Parties Who May be
Interested.

Madison-By holding conferences
with the presiding officers of each
house Of the legislature chairmen of
important committees and people par
ticularly affected by the proposed leg
islation, Gov F. E. McGovern is hope
full that the coming special session of
the legislature can be concluded in one
week. All bills for consideration have
been drafted and copies are being sent
out to the interested parties and their
attorneys.
The first of these meetings will be
held this week, when Lieutenant Gov
ernor Morris and Speaker Ingram will
meet with the governor to plan for the
committee meetings, to consider bills
to be offered, to arrange for visit
to Black River Falls and Portage by
the finance committee, and to attend
to other details to expedite the work
of the legislature.
The big water power conference will
be held April IL. All the attorneys on
both sizes of the litigation have been
invited to attend, as have many of the
owners themselves, to whom copies of
the bill have been sent in advance
Similar action has been taken with
reference to the bill to amend the
weights and measure law. The bills
for granting relief to Black River Falls
and for further protection of Portage
are ready to be submitted to the
proper committee, after having been
carefully considered from the legal
standpoint
In brief Governor McGovern has
planned in every way possible to do in
advance of the session such work as
can be planned out of the way, and
he is confident that by carrying out
the plans he has devised that the en-
tire session need not extend over a
period of one week.

HUBBY NOT THE GUILTY ONE
Mrs. Hilltop Bushes Yet When She
Recalls Her Experience as
Runner Down of Evil.

On one of the sun-kissed hilltops
overlooking our fair city there dwells
a pair whose married life for nigh
score of years had flowed along IN
unruffIed serenity. But recently the
cankering blight of suspicion fell upon
the house of happiness, the green-eyed
monster OF jealousy took up its abode
therein. It was all on account OF
Sadie" who was entirely too good
looking for an ideal domestic.
Now it had always been the custom
of Mr.. Hilltop, upon returning from
the days business, to enter the house
by way of the basement door, which
was the most convenient way. Until
Sadie's advent his action had always
gone unquestioned. But Of late Mrs.
Hilltop had heard certain sinister
sounds emanating from the lower re-
gions, such as whisperings, titterings
ana sundry smacks, which, to the fem
mime ear, bore tidings of evil import
She determined to keep an eye On her
husband. Also on Sadie.
The following evening at about the
usual time for her husbands return.
she arranged an errand for Sadie
which would keep her busy upstairs
for some time. Then she descended to
the kitchen, hastily donned the natty
cap and apron usually worn by Sadie,
and as heavy footsteps sounded on
the pavement outside she took her po-
sition in the dimly lighted hall
way with her back to the door.
Scarcely had she done so when the
door was opened, there was a chuck
lie, then she was seized in a lusty en-
brace, a rough chin was thrust over
her shoulder, and a resounding kiss
planted on her cheek.
With eyes flashing fire and bosom
swelling with jealous wrath, Mrs. Hill
top tore the Disgusting cap from her
mead, wheeled about-then tottered
weakly into a corner.
Before her stood a grinning giant
