Wolves in Town Of Dunkirk.

Andrew Fosdahl of Dunkirk thinks
that wolves killed three sheep that be-
longed to him. Heretofore all the sheep
destruction has been laid to dogs. Some
years ago pet wolves were brought to
Stoughton and escaped, but it was
thought they had been shot before
leaving any offspring, SO that we must
be getting back to the days of genera
tions ago when wolves infested the
section through the Hanerville and
Stebbinsville districts One could set
them bowling of moonlight night by
initiating the cry. The best breeding
place for wolves was over on the big
marsh, dividing the towns of Albion
and Dunkirk, but occasionally nest of
young would be found on top of a hay
stack on the Watson farm. None of
Mr.. Fosdahl's sheep were torn, the
blood having been sucked from the ar
terry, sure sign of wolf. In those
early day Charles Spike of Stebbins-
vile had flock of "a sheep killed in
broad daylight by wolvss and it was
necessary to shoot couple before the
rest would leave.

Night Waterman Murdered.

John Longfeld, night Waterman at
the stemming plant of the P. Lorillard
Co. at Madison, was shot and killed at
2 O'Clock Saturday morning and as yet
the crime remains mystery.
At least two men took part in the at
tempted robbery of the safe in the Of
flee as two gloves belonging to differ
ent pairs were found.
The murderers were familiar with the
place as they evidently knew that the
company was going to pay off its It's
employees Saturday morning and they
expected to find the money in the safe.
The crime was committed by local
talent as professional burglar would
carry revolver instead Of a shotgun,
would not attempt to open safe by
taking off the hinges and would not
work by the light of paper torches.
The police are of the opinion that
Mr.. Longield was shot as he entered
been attracted by the burning of paper
on the floor. The supposition is that
the burglars hid behind the big safe
and as ne entered the room one of them
fired. The only evidence the police
have that the murder was committed
with a shotgun was from the size of
the wound. The charge entered the
body just above the heart and made an
opening nearly large enough for one to
put his hand through.
The murderers gained an entrance to
the building by prying open rear door.
Walking down the hallway to the office
they pried open a double window and
entered. They started to remove the
ornamental knobs on the hinges of the
safe when they heard footsteps ap
preaching. Mr.. Longfield was making
| his regular round and had evidently in
tended to punch the time clock in the
front part of the building. Noticing
the burning paper on the floor of the
office he stepped inside to see what was
the trouble. One of the burglars evil
| IDENTIFY fired before Longteld had
chance to see him.
Leaving trail of blood, Mr.. Long
| field started for the door and walked
down the steps leading from the side
platform to the ground AS he reached
outside he called to Michael Dempsey,
night switchman at the West Main
street crossing of the Milwaukee road,
block away. When he reached the
scene ne found Mr.. Longfield lying face
downward in the center of side track.
He raised up the wounded man but the
| latter could not talk.
The Jersey City office of the Loril-
lard Co. authorized the offering of
reward of 81, 900 for the capture and
conviction of the men who committed
| the crime.

Edited Bv The womans Club


The student who has free access TO
dictionaries, and books of reference
acquire the valuable habit of consulting
them in all times of uncertainty.
1t readily becomes the custom to
look up doubtful words, and find their
mesning. To search for quotations so
familiar and yet so hard to recall. To
find the useful information so needed
there is not a day in the life of a STU
dent that a reference book is not a
necessity.
Should there be no books convenient
OF access a careless way Of studying is
acquired. The unknown words are
passed over, references not understood
are left unknown.
Sometimes the text is quite bare and
the student is expected to supplement
with out side information when this is
not available there is much of vital
Importance lost. In so many homes suit
able books are not thought necessary.
Our teachers complain that their work
is very much restricted on this ac-
count.
The Womans Club is working hard
to secure Library which will be a
valuable addition to our school. In a
short time all arrangements will be
made and a modern well equipped
Library will bless and enrich our town.

The Value OF A Library To Students.

1t may be considered a work of truest
philanthropy that the Board of Trust
ees has granted to the Woman's Club
the use of beautiful room in the hand
some new school building and that in
that room is to be housed the Library
now under development. This work,
like mercy is twice blessed, blessing
him that gives and him that takes,
for not only are we mindful of the
pleasure and profit to the people of the
town and community who have access
to the library. but how can we estimate
the value to the school itself and by the
school is meant the personnel of the
student body and the individual interest
of each child.
1t is doubtful if the library in any
home supplies the various and chang
ing demands of the investigative minds
of children. From very early years the
tales of fiction and history hold the
rapt interest of child; and with men,
tai development and the broadening of
the horizon comes desire for know
ledge of science and an understanding
of the deep, essential things that past
years have recorded on the written
page for the enrichment of minds.
1t is the book of reference that forms
very important part of library, and
the splendid books of history and ency-
clopedia that have been the unused
property of the school for many years
have been placed in the care of the
Woman's Library and will be at the
service of the students. The new cas-
es will hold not only these, but several
hundred hooks of fiction, put there af-
ter consideration of the merit of each

was sent us-later letter to the effect
that only through the City Council
could this gift be made. The Council
is interested but not in a position to
pledge the necessary amount for annual
expenses of said building. We car but
hope the day is not far distant when
the request made of the Council can be
granted.
The room that will be occupied by the
library now under process of develop
ment will be handsomely furnished and
the shelves of the book cases will be
filled with books carefully selected to
suit the tastes of our children, young
ladies and gentlemen-and We will add
old ladies and gentlemen if ary should

helpful in securing sufficient money for
books that we may have a library to
pay credit to every effort.
