Butter touched the highest point
ever known in the Elgin market this
week when 40 cents was the price
agreed upon. Let all of us hope who
have to buy it that the limit has been
reached, or perhaps we had better do
without for while. 1t seems as if the
price fixing board turned the thumb
screws pretty hard on the consumer
in advancing the market four cents at
a single jump.
-Poormaster Anderson was called to
Lake Koshkonong last week where he
found Charles Stone, an aged man,
thought to be 70, with both hands froz-
en-, and Chris Johnson, aged As, with
both feet frozen. Stone has lived in a
tent at the lake for several years, and
refused to go to the county farm.
When his hands became useless he
managed to reach the hut of Johnson,
who was laid up with frozen feet. Both
men were helpless and would doubtless
have starved and died of exposure if
Mr. Anderson had not arrived when he
did. They we're brought to Edgerton
for medical treatment and then taken
to the county farm.
