EDGAR MAN IN TROUBLE.

Waldemir Krejcie of Edgar, was
brought to this city last Friday after
noon by an officer of that village and
taken before Justice of the Peace r..
n. Larner for a hearing on the charge
of having set fire to his property. The
complaint against Krejcie is sworn to
by Deputy State Fire Marshall w. E.
Finnegan, who conducted an investi-
cation of the matter, after the au-
thorities of Edgar had filed charges of
| incendiarism against the defendant.
The facts in the case, so far as known,
are about as follows: About midnight
on December 9th of last year the Ed
gar fire department was called out to
extinguish a fire that had started in
the building occupied by Krejcie as a
butcher shop and also as dwelling for
his family. Upon arrival of the de-
partment the flames had not as yet
spread to any extent, and were soon
extinguished. 1t was noticed, how
ever, that there had been a blaze at
three different parts of the building,
which fact looked very suspicious TO
the firemen, and after learning that
Krejcie carried considerable more in
surance than the property had cost
him and actually was worth, a report
of the affair was sent to the state fire
marshall at Madison. Deputy Mar
shall Finnegan was then put on the
case, with the result as above stated.
Justice Larner, after taking the testi-
mony offered by Marshall Finnegan,
bound Krejcie over TO the circuit
court, placing him under $4,000 bail,
which defendant was not able to
furnish, and he was taken to the
county Jail, to await his trial.

CORN AND GRAIN SHOW.
Stratford Arranges For Big Event on
the 18th OF February

A mid-week corn and grain show
will be held at Stratford on February
14th, particulars of which were given
in the last issue of the PILOT. 1t is a
very worthy undertaking and should
be largely attended by our farmers.
Therefore the PILOT desires to give it
all the publicity possible. The idea
is to secure a large gathering of the
farmers and awaken a greater interest
in the raising of grains and farm pro-
ducts generally. The grains will be
in competition, for which premiums
are TO be offered. The list includes
corn, barley, oats, rye, wheat, peas
and potatoes, and prizes of SO, 81 and
81 are to be given on each variety.
The program is as follows:

WINNING IN WYOMING

Pat Sullivan is walking adver-
tisement of the golden possibilities
of the State of Wyoming, says the
Popular magazine. He has 10000
head of sheep, an electric lighting
plant in his home town of Caspar,
lives in home which would be a
show place on Fifth avenue, has
been a member of the Wyoming
state senate for sixteen years and
owns flock of oil wells and
asbestos mines.
And this is the story of how Pat
happened to win out in Wyoming:
Twenty-Five years ago he left
Ireland and landed in New York
with all his wardrobe and earthly
possessions tied UP in a small cloth
sack. He got job as longshore
man on the New York docks and
worked at it for seven months. One
Saturday afternoon Pat walked in
to the ticket Office of the New York
Central lines. slapped down a
bunch of bank notes and handful
of silver coins, and remarked in an
Irish brogue as thick as a Navajo
blanket:
"0i want, sorr, to buy a ticket
for as far Wist as thot amount
of money will take me-"
The ticket agent looked ar him
seriously and Pat added: And OF
want to start at once"
The NAL behind the desk counted
ont S54.86 took down a railroad
guide and finally informed Pat
that that amount would just take
him to Green River Wyo.
"Tnot's all right" id Pat with
enthusiasm. Anything that's
green sounds good to an Irishman."
On the morning f the fourth
day thereafter Pat got off an over
land train at Green River, Wyo.,
and began to build up his Drincely
fortune by taking a job as sheep
herder at $50 a month. Later on
he iHarried the daughter If the
man who gave him that job.
