PO|S OWING
CASE HEARD

On Wednesday afternoon the case of
the State of Wisconsin VS.. Glen Water
man came before Justice Halsted, the
defendant being accused of poisoning
William Hasten in the town of Green
field some days ago. The defendant
was employed by Mr.. Hasten and Paul
Puttkammer, a co-worker with Water
mann on the farm, testified that the
defendant had told him that he had
placed some poison in jug of water
the day before Mr.. Hasten was taken
ILL., Arthur Hasten, nephew of the
complaining witness, testified also that
he had heard the defendant say that he
ha placed poison in the jug.
A physician testified that the day
before Mr.. Hasten was taken i'll that
he had prescribed bichloride of mercury
for an ailment of which he complained
at that time.
1t also developed that Mr.. Hasten
had eaten salmon the night before and
from this ptomaine poison might de-
velop if the flesh was not in a proper
condition.
The case was then continued for a
week because Mr.. Hasten could not be
present to testify.
The outcome of the case is uncertain
but the indications are that the defen-
dant will be bound over to the next term
of circuit court.
Mr.. Hasten ismuch improved and will
recover.

TONS Of MAIL
CARRIED On The
BARABOO ROUTES

During the month of October the
rural letter carriers at Baraboo were q
busy set of fellows. They were required
to count, weigh and classify all mail
collected and delivered on their res.
pective routes. According to figures
kindly furnished by w. w. Morse,
carrier on route 2, there was handled
on the six Baraboo routes, 60, 25l pieces
which weighed tons and 200 pounds.
1t is safe to venture the assertion that
none of the patrons on the routes would
wish the delivery placed under con-
tract system and the carriers that have
served them so long to give way to
whomsoever the contractors might see
fit to put on the routes. The patrons
are now accustomed to the coming of
the carriers who are now like old
friends.

Of Holes

Mrs. A. M. Neitzel, ia Eleventh
avenue, has received a number Of news
papers from Germany and they are full
of holes. The holes were not made by bull
let's but evidently with shears. Although
it is not known who cut the articles
from the papers it was probably done
by English officials as they did not care
to have certain news known in Amer
ica 1t is always aggravating to pick
up a newspaper with hole cut into it
and all the more so during great war.
