UpSetS DarrOW

LOS ANGELES. Cal, June IL
Patrick Joseph Coouey, Of Chicago,
was expected to undergo a rigid cross.
examination today at the hands of
the attorneys for the defense in the
trial of Clarence S. Darrow, the Chi
cago attorney accused of jury brib-
cry
Members of the defense made no
effort to disguise their impression as
a result of the fling by Judge Hut
ton yesterday, the effect of which
would be to open the doors to all sorts
of evidence which would tend TO show
that the defendant and his assistants
in the Mcnamara defense had been
guilty of wholesale corruption of wit
nosses as well as jurors during the
pendency of the Mcnamara case, as
charged by the prosecution. MIR. Oar
row expressed disappointment at the
courts decision.
Under this ruling" he said. Il
might be called upon to defend myself
in almost any part of the country.

What brought forth the remarks Oh
Judge Gaskill was the notice which
the receivers, Samuel X. Robbins,
Theodore French and George j. ber-
gen had served upon Vice-Chancelior
Stevens and the board, that tney
would apply to the chancellor on
Tuesday of next week to revoke an
order of reference which the receiV-
ers had asked the vice-chancellor TO
grant.
Acting on this petition of the re-
ceiyers. the e-chancellor drew the
order. but it failed to satisfy the pc
titioners. Now they want the chan
cellor to revoke the proceedings,
1t was only Saturday that the re-
ceiyers decided to appeal to the chan
cellor and, their attorneys sent a let
ter to vice-C Chancellor Stevens on
that day telling him that they wanted
the order set aside by the chancellor
thus taking the proceedings away
from Chancellor Stevens.
"This is an unheard-of thing to
me- said former Judge GaslSill. DO
they want to undignify the Court of
Chancery by making the vice-chan-
cellors subject to the whims of few
LAWYERS? These receivers act like

When the game doesn't suit them
they won't play, and declare they
are going home
J. Kearney Rice, of New Bruins
wick. told the vice-chancellor that he
was surprised at the move OF the
receivers.
When Vice Chancellor Stevens told
the receivers two weeks ago that he
would sign the order of reference. he
made the provision that they should
serve bill of particulars on the
defendants. The receivers seek to
recover from members of the board
of directors between 100000 and $780,
900. which is alleged to have been
lost in loans made by individuals of
the board.

WHERE ARE THE
GAME WARDENS?
Law Breakers are After the
Deer on the South Side
of the Bluffs.

What are the game wardens doing?
writes a correspondent to the News.
1t is no uncommon sight to see poor
deer driven out onto the open prairie
by the heartIess law breakers, who
make a practice of chasing the poor
harmless creatures. A few days ago
one came bounding across Alex Steu-
ber's field, leaping the fences, and the
last we saw of her she was going down
the road toward Charles Miller's place.
One day recently the tracks of four
deer were seen on the south side Of the
Baraboo bluffs and the tracks Of three
men following them. If the deer were
caught they would be unfit for food af-
ter this long cold winter. We fail to see
how there would be much pleasure in
wading in snow knee deep, as it was,
where the tracks were seen.

Thirty Years Old
Today

IETOIl 1uuFSudS . Od1ly.J
Baraboo became city thirty years
ago today. For many, many years the
village had been growing and it was
decided to add the dignity of city
charter and city officers. An act was
approved in the Wisconsin Legislature
on February 25, 1882, to change from
the village to the city form of govern
ment. It was provided that the cleo
ton be held on March and the change
to take place on the fourth Tuesday of
the month or March IS. g. A. Swine
ford was elected the first mayor.
The first aldermen were Herman
Albrecht, f. Avery, H. P. Barlow,
James Dykins, T T. English, Fl.
ID. Potter, P. Pratt, j. S. Workman and
J. Van Orden. J. G.. Train was elected
the first city clerk and Frank Avery
was the first president of The council.
At the census taken in 1880 or a little
over thirty years ago, Baraboo had a
population of 4 4,594. Today the num-
Der of people exceeds 1924. While
Baraboo has not grown as fast as some
places, her people have many things
of which to be prowd. Fine streets,
beautiful public buildings and other
things make this place in which TO
live that has few equals.

Young Man Meets Instant
Death Near Depot Here
Last Night.
WAS STEALING A RIDE
Was Barber by Trade And
Home Was in
Canada.
(From Thursdays Daily.l


A young man by the name of Charles
Ross and whose home was in Ontario
Canada, met instant death near tn
North western derot here last nigh
when be was struck and terribly man.
gled by passenger trainNo. 511 which
arrives here about 11:15 o'clock. The
man was standing on the northbound
track directly in front of the baggage
room and intended to steal a ride on
the train. Evidently he did not expect
that the train was coming on the
track on which he was standing be-
cause when it drew near he commenced
running between the rails Immediate
ly ahead of the engine. The night
baggageman,lH sherman Weynar, noticed
Ross running on the track aud yelled
to him to get off. The man was struck
near the west end of the platform and
the trunk of the oody was found a
short distance from the Lynn avenue
tagging shanty several rods from the
depot. Both legs were cut off and the
arms, head and body were consider
ably battered.
Although Mr.. Weynar saw Ross
directly in front of the engine he was
not positive whether he was struck or
not as he noticed man climbing be-
tween the baggage coaches of the train
after it had stopped and he believed
Ross had escaped. Neither the engi-
neer or the fireman knew anything of
the accident and the remains were not
found until shortly after the passenger
train had gone. When Mr.. Weynar re-
turned to the baggageroom he told
couple of the men employed in the
yards that man came near being
killed by the train, but he believed
he escaped. At this one of the men
took his lantern and had walked up
the track but short distance when he
found a hat and soon the remains
were discovered and carried to the
baggageroom.
Chief Dispatcher E. P. Wright inn
mediately telegraphed to Elroy for the
man who stole the ride on 5l1. The man
returned to Baraboo on 502, gave his
name as John Miller aud proved to be
a partner of Ross. Miller stated that
Ross was 81 years old and that his
home was in Ontario, Canada, where
he had a sister residing. He said that
Ross had just been released from a
hospital in Chicago where he spent
year. The two were without money
and were beating their way to Mime
apolis. Ross was barber by trade and
had certificate on his person when
found. Miller claims his home is in
Chippewa Falls.
The mangled body was taken to the
Erswell, Melzl & McGann undertaking
rooms. 1t has not been learned as to
what di position will be made of the
body. Relatives of Ross have been mott
fed.
