HEAVY SEA FOG
UNVEILS GILL

Gill, July 17.-"Heave ho."
Reef in the mizzen mast!" Keep
lookout at the starboard side!"
These and similar sea phrases
came to the minds of the Gill farm
ers Tuesday morning when they
awoke and found heavy fog over
the land, reminding them OF ocean
voyages taken or dreamed about.
BY six O'Clock the fog was SO dense
that there was talk of sending for
Cap Tom Macy but the sun finally
dissipated it and shown forth on
ripening grain fields and potato
patches instead of the ocean blue.
Crops. by the way, are looking
fine here There has been few
indications of the ordinary blight
on the potatoes but the potato acre
age is not unusually large. There
are acres of beets and the alfalfa
piled in the stack and coming on
tells of thousands of fat sheep to-
be fattened for market in the Gill
yards next fall and winter.

CONTINUE TO TEST COWS.

That Wisconsin farmers have come
to realize the folly of allowing cows
affected with tuberculosis to remain
in their herds and transmit the dis
ease to healthy animals, is indicated
by the fact that, despite the repeal of
the law requiring all dairy animals to
be tested for tuberculosis, nearly forty
thousand doses of tuberculin have been
sent to stock owners in the state dur
ing the last nine months. This tuber-
culin is manufactured by the depart
ment of agricultural bacteriology of
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
{ The educational campaign carried
on by the university among farmers
during the past few years seems to
have awakened farmers to the fact
that one COW affected with tuberculosis
can infect whole healthy herd and
that such herd will in time be en-
tirely destroyed by the disease.
With approximately as many cows
as Wisconsin, Pennsylvania has tested
less than half as many cows for tuber-
culosis in fifteen years, as Wisconsin
tested in the single year, 1911.

SEEK HORSE THIEF HERE.
Man Accused of Stealing Four Horses
at Waukegan Thought to Be Near.

Police officers on motor cycles and
in automobiles were patrolling the roads
between Waukegan and Kenosha today
in an effort to capture man wanted
at Waukegan on charges of horse steal
ing. The man is alleged to have stolen
four horses at Waukegan early this
morning, but later two of the horses
were recovered. Sheriff Green, of Lake
county, notified the local police depart
ment at five o. clock this morning that
the thief was supposed to be on his
way to Kenosha with two of the stolen
animals. It is thought that the thief
was a man who had formerly been con-
fined at the Waukegan Jail on charges
of horse stealing. He was released a
short time ago on account of the fact
that the officials believed that he was
demented. No trace of the man or the
stolen horses had been found in Keno
sha up to a late hour this afternoon.

Leaders of Factions Club
and Abuse Each Other in
Fight Over Tobacco.
MANY ARRESTS BEING MADE

Two hundred of Wilbur Glenn Volt
lya's crusaders at Zion City, singing
hymns of praise, were attacked by a
" blackjack" band Of citizens, led by
the town marshal, Monday evening.
Both men and women were beaten and
trampled on the ground in the rioting.
The attack was the outgrowth Of
the bitter feeling of citizens styled
Independents against the church
men IS cru 3ade on the tobacco using
employees" of Zion City's new indus
tries. The crusaders had massed near
the Cook Electric plant to pray for
the workers as they left the shops.
Following the riot, in which several
Of the churchmen were seriously in
jured, Voliva caused the huge bell of
Zion Hall to be rung continuously for
an hour. That summoned 1000 Of the
faithful" together.
In the meantime angered "indepen-
DENTS stormed in mobs up and down
the streets, driving Voliva followers
indoors. Mayor w. F. Miller caused
Sheriff Elmer Green to rush from
Waukegan to the riot-ridden town
with armed deputies. Throughout the
evening there were threats of further
trouble on every side. The deputy
sheriffs patrolled the streets with a
free display of weapons.
The command of Voliva alone avert
ed serious clashes on the street early
in the evening after the first encount-
/ err Gathering his followers in the au-
ditorium at Zion Hall he exhorted
them to avoid trouble. The feeling
grew bitter, however. as the list of
the injured became known.
Joseph Bishop, a youthful follower
Of Voliva, was the most seriously in
ljured. In attempting to defend wom-
en- about him in the mad rush at the
prayer service he was beaten to the
ground by blackjacks" and "bil-
| lies in dozen hands. 1t is thought
his skull is fractured.
It was just O'Clock, the time for
quitting work, when the church work
ers took their stations opposite the
electric plant. The meeting was one
of the two to decry the tobacco
curse which have been held daily,
and which have caused the bitter feel
| ing.
Marshal John Hoover, with forty
deputies, had already stationed him
self at the factory. He had served
the Voliva followers with notice that
their meetings melted riots and that
he would stop them.
Elder f. M. Royal was there as lead
er of the prayer service. With three
other elders he was on platform,
built on fenced-in church property
across the street from the factory.
The 200 followers, a large majority of
them women, were gathered about the
platform.
"Conquering now and still to con-
quer," the worshipers started singing
as the workers emerged from the fac
|
tory, many putting away on the alb
horred pipes.
