BARABOO HAS Won
IN MANY GAMES
Figures Tell in the Results
of the Basket Ball
Work of Year.

The people of this community have
been agreeably surprised by the re-
markable success of the local high
school basket b I'll team At the first
of the season conditions were anything
but bright. With only one man back
from last years team no one predicted
winning season. Thc results how
ever have far exceeded all expecta-
tions. Good team work and the fact
that this years. team hes trained
more faithfully probably than any of
its predecessors are largely responsible
for the outcome.
A review of the season shows eight
out nf eleven games won, all OF the
home games captured, for every four
points made by opponents. our boys
made seven, won second place in
southwestern Wisconsin, came within
six points of winning first and came
closer to being the representative of
this district at the state tournament
than any other team put out by the
school. It is a notew orthy fact that
outside of Sprecher not member of
the team was even on last years Sec
ond team. The fact that they are
practically all freshmen or sopho.

An Old Letter

CITY Clerk J. s. Workman has
come into possession of an old letter
written by himself on August 5, 1857,
when he was in school in BGraboo,
then q western village. The letter was
written to L0Iin Andrews at Muk-
wonago, the home of Mr.. Workman
at that time.
At the opening of the latter he tells
of a picnic held in the eastern part of
the village. Miss Bevelyn BasseGt
(now Mrs. B. A CIarke) being the
"August Queen" Miss Bassett was
pupil in thesame school. In letter
to Mr.. Worthman his friend had said
that Hone could hardly walk the
streets without danger OF getting his
legs sawed off on account of women
and girls wearing hoops" Ia his
reply Mr.. Workman said that he,
poor, Jim, had to stand up In class
every day between two girls dressed in
these awful things (Great lsughter)
In the letter Mr.. Workman tells
about two counterfeitors passi 1870 and
500 in Baraboo, mostly on the North
western bank of Virginia. The men
were followed to Reedsburg where one
hid in barn, was caught and while
being searched, dashed away. Two
shots were fired after him, he fell both
times, but finally got away. The
other was taken to the Portage jail,
the stone jsil in BarRboo not being
mpleted,
A new bank had just been opened
here, The Sauk County bank, the
crops looking promising, four was
selling for 81 per 100, wheat was worth
s to y shtIhngs and news was scarce.

LEGLESS MAN FIGHTS FOR THE
RIGHT TO EARN LIVING
One of the bravest fathers in Chi
cago is Roy Wearmouth, who lives
with his four-year-old daughter at
6331 DreXel avenue. Wearmouth lost
both legs, six inches above the knee,
as result of a railroad accident on
the Illinois Central Railroad ten
years ago.
The police are now seeking to pre-
vent him from earning living for
himself and his little girl by selling
novelties in the Woodlawn district.
Selling newspapers and novelties is
the only breadwinning occupations
he can turn to since the Illinois Cen
trail got him to sign a release paper
on promise of giving him a life job
and then threatened to have him ar
rested unless he stopped bothering
them.
Wearmouth was injured when he
was riding from Jackson, Miss, to
Memphis, Tenn. When they lifted
him from the wreckage his legs we're
hopelessly mashed. Then followed a
series of operations.
When he recovered, his brother
took him to the claim agent of the
road. The agent offered him pair
of artificial legs and a-life job and
told Wearmouth that if he sued he
wouldn't get much.
So Wearmouth signed the papers
freeing the company. He got the
artificial legs all right.
After that came life as a peddler,
a newsboy, a street vendor and as a
police football" as he expresses it.
But he is still game, "for the kids
sake" he EXPLAINS

WOMEN WORKING TO PREVENT
INVASION INTO MEXICO

INNHSlSN I'm ! ~ NGNISS
Denver, COL, April 3.-"We will not
tolerate another war in which we will
be the ones to suffer. We will not
bear sons to be shot down like dogs
to protect property in Mexico or else
where"
This was the sentiment expressed
by number of influential women of
Denver today when they organized a
Woman's Peace Organization, which
they hope to make national in scope.
Letters will be sent to the women of
every state in the union, urging them
to join in a concerted movement to
prevent any invasion of Mexico and
the. consequent slaughter of their
husbands, sons and brothers.
81 wish that the feeling may grow
so strong against allowing American
boys to be shot down to elevate some
politicians that American women will
cease to bear sons to sacrifice in an
issue of this kind" said Mrs. Alma
Lafferty, chairman of the organiza-
ton. THE whole of Mexico is not
worth the life of single American
boy. l went down into the shadow
of the valley of death to bear a son
who fell a victim in an unnecessary
war in Cuba.
"The noblest example the world
has seen recently was shown by
British army officers recently who re-
signed rather than shoot down their
brothers in Ulster. Colorado women
have the ballot and we will not stand
for another war. We must use our
votes to stamp out this cruel suffer-
ing. Remember the tortured deaths
of your boys in other wars of greed!"
Other women spoke in a similar
vein and pledged their support to the
movement. Organizations will be
formed elsewhere in Colorado and
national suffrage leaders will be ask
ed to cooperate:
