Circus Day Arrests.

While circus day was eventful
in many ways and brought the
heaviest business Of any day in
the year to the merchants of the
city, there were features that
are shameful. One man was
murdered that night just north
of the city and about 40 cases OF
fighting, disturbing the peace
and drunkenness are reported by
the city officers, who were kept
busy during the day and the
night following making arrests
for such misdemeanors.

him and both were drunk. D.
on their return, when about one
mile out of town, two men ask
ed Fondring to let them ride.
He refused and the pedestrians
cursed and abused him, causing
Fondring to get out of the wa
gon and attack them. In the
mixup, Fondring was slashed
across the neck and ran to the
wagon, falling into same and
died within a few minutes. The
wagon was then turned around
and Bert Pullman brought him
toward town, giving the alarm
at the veneering plant. This is
the story Of Bert Pullman.
Jim Pullman testified that he
did not know Of the murder I'M
til the next day, but Harry Her.
rington at whose camp he spent
the night, declares that jim
Pullman told him, when he came
to the camp Saturday night that
George Fondring was hurt.
. A bloody knife was found by
Officer Payne beneath the pallet
where Jim Pullman had slept
Saturday night. This man also
told Officer Payne that he put
Fondring on his horse the
night of the murder and started
him home, while before the in
quest he testified that he turned
the horse loose.
The place on the roadway,
where the tragedy occurred has
not been located and the wagon
in which Fondring's body was
found shows no stains upon the
side, only upon the bed and
where blood had run through up
on the axle beneath.
On the person of Fondring
was found S1.1O and the mo-
tive for the murder is not
known, unless it was robbery or
the result of drunken quarrel.
Whether the trouble in the wa
gonyard that afternoon had any
thing to do with the murder that
night is not known and the in
quest jury under the direction
of Prosecuting Attorney Erwin
and Coroner Melville is probing
all the facts, to if possible, fix
the guilt.

Prepare for FLY Time.

Chicago Journal: The only recourse
OF the housekeepers is to begin at least
as early as the fly. Keep the garbage
can covered, and keep it clean. Make
liberal use of carbolic acid. Three
tablespoonfuls of a 81 per cent solution
of carbolic acid in a quart of water
will kill eggs of the fly, and the same
mixture, sprinkled over garbage, dis
courages the buzzing pests in their
quest for dinner.
The health department of Chicago
puts the case tersely: No filth, no
flies. Do your part in abolishing filth
and see that your neighbor does his; ;
and there will be II decided drop in in

WISCONSIN LEAD AND ZINC
Report of J. p. Dunlop, of the United
States Geological Survey.

The value of the mine output of lead
and zinc in Wisconsin for the calendar
year 1912 was 81, 7S3.19O according to
j. P. Dunlop, of the United States Geo
logical survey. The value of the pro-
duction in 1911 was 50 ,5S2 .006, the in
crease in 1912 being therefore 81 ,211. 1874
The lead concentrates sold declined
from 1850 tons in 1911 to 1878 tons in
1912. The sphalerite concentrates sold
increased from 90 1868 to 1902 ,617 tons
and the zinc carbonate concentrates de-
clined from 5,035 to 4,310 tons.
The metal content of the lead concen
. trates was 773 tons less than in 1911.
The recoverable zinc content of the
sphalerite and zinc carbonate concen-
trates increased 1870 tons over that of
1911 and the value was 81, 172 $50
greater.
In 1912 as in 1911 the Benton and
Hazel Green districts were the largest
producers of zinc concentrates, but the
latter did not increase its mine output
appreciably. The aggregate shipments
from Benton increased over 1900 tons,
but a portion of the shipments were
made up of sphalerite mined in 1911.
The largest proportionate increase Of
sphalerite was derived from the Cuba
City, Livingston. Platteville, Mifflin,
and Shullsburg districts. The value of
sphalerite concentrates shipped from
the Benton district increased over $500,
900, owing partly to the high prices
paid and to the increased quantity of
roasted concentrates shipped.
The larger mining interests, includ-
ing the Mineral Point Zinc company
Wisconsin Zinc company, Vinegar Hill
Zinc company, Cleveland Mining com
pany, Frontier Mining company, and
Optimo Mining company, continued to
extend their operations, and the in
creased output was due mainly to their
activity and to the large sales of high
grade sphalerite by the Field Mining
company, at Benton, which was only a
small producer in 1911.
