SHERIFF BID
FAREWELL BY
JAIL HOBOES
Rock Pile Labor Is Too
Strenuous For Three of
Them.
HIKE FOR OUTSKIRTS
Two of Them Have Ser
we'd Terms Before AT
The Jail.
(FrOm Thursdays Daily.)

This morning three hoooes, who
were serving time at the county Jail,
bid farewell to Meyers, the sheriff,
and the last seen of them they were
racing up Second avenue toward the
Island WOolen Mill. The hoboes were
committed to hard labor on the rock
pile, but yesterday was the first day
they were worked for some time and
when the guard, Nelson GomOn, came
to take them to the pile this morning
they had considered the matter and
decided to make their getaway, When
the guard arrived at the Jail the sheriff
unlocked the hoboes and they no more
than got breath of the fresh, morn
ing air when they took to their heels,
two going around one corner of the
Jail and up Second avenue and one
around The opposite corner and into an
alley, The sheriff and guard yelled
"stop' to the runaways, but they
may as we'll have cried TO Lhe moon.
The sheriff and policemen watched
the trains and searched about the
yards this morning without suc-
cess. Two of the men, Fisher and
Dwyer, were committed to couple of
months on the rock pile and each had
served less than two weeks, The
other man was sentenced TO twenty
days labor on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly. Fisher and DWyer
have served short sentences at the Jail
before this winter and were relieved
from working the greater share of the
time on account of the cold weather.
It is almost safe to say that the city
will not be troubled with them for a
while at least.

Three Boys and a Dog.
THE ELEVENTH STORY.

Yes, can give you genuine Sauk
county bear story. The adventure
which [ relate below does not seem to
be much of an adventure when viewed
after a lapse of more than half CEN
tury, buI [ can assure you that it was,
at the time it happened, fraught with
as many thrills for all the participants,
bear, dog, and three small boys, as
one could wish.
At that time, more than fifty years
ago, Webster's Prairie, then in the
town of New Buffalo, now Delton, was
lined with cultivated farms on each
side of the Baraboo-Delton road, from
where the present Webster's Prairie
cemetery is clear to the village of Del
ton. But the cultivated fields were
