Carriers Bid
z or TIER
M0iI Routes

The announcement that Postmaster
General Burleson favors a change in
the rural delivery system whereby car
riers will have to bid for the work and
obtaining it by bidding lower than any
one else, is causing great apprehension
among rural carriers all over the coun-
try. This is the old star-route system
revived Under it, the bidder would
no doubt be allowed to take as many
contracts as he could handle and every
rural carrier would become an employee
of the contractor, instead Of Uncle
Sam, as he is now In time, the con-
tractor could become big corporation
which would fix the compensation of
the men who do the work at $500 to
$500 year, instead of 81, 900 to $1,000,
which the government now pays them
direct and the contractor would get
rich on the work of the carriers. The
contractor would come to own the hors-
es, wagons, or automobiles and the car
rier would become a mere driver.

TTife Says Her

Mystery thickens about the home Of
Walter Tuaison, who lives on the Ach-
terberg farm in Caledonia, near the
Sank county line. He and his wife
claim they are being molested by per-
sons unknown frightening Mrs.
Tunison so that she hardly dares stay
alone in the house. The most recent
scare occurred Thursday evening. The
authorities, unable to pick up single
clew, admit that the case is a puzzle.
Suspicion has not been directed to any
body. Even the motive of the distur-
bers is unguessed
On the evening Of Sept. 9, Mrs. Tu-
nison claimed she was sliced in the
doorway of her home by two unknown
men who gagged her and were drag
ging her away when the screams Of
one of the children who saw the strug-
gle warned her husband in the house.
Both men escaped unseen by anybol y
except Mrs. Tunison When ques-
toned by Sheriff Mackenzie and Dist.
! Atty. Bogue, who were called to in
vestigate, the woman said she was
unable to give an accurate description
of her assailants. Diligent search and
inquiry by the officials yielded nothing
that would identify the men wanted
or aid in solving the mystery Of the
attack
The sheriff and the district attorney
were called again to the Tunison home
Thursday night, Oct. IS, in response to
an appeal for protection. Mrs. Tuni-
son said a stranger whose face she
could not see in the darkness raped at
the kitchen door about $50 that even
ing. Mr.. Tunison was absent on a trip
to Baraboo. She said she looked out a
window and on discovering that the
man rapping at the door was not her
husband, took q revolver and fired
three shots at him. He fed. Fifteen
minutes later Mr.. Tunison arrived
home and found his wife nearly d.
stracted.
Mrs. Tunison showed the revolver to
the officers and they noted the three
empty cartridges and the recently
smoked barrel of the weapon. Her
story was told with apparent frankness
and good faith. Using a search light
the officers hunted for tracks outside
the door. They were unable to find
tracks such as might be expected
to make when shot at three times at
close range. Next morning Mr.. Tuni-
son phoned to the county seat that
footprints leading away from the
house, presumably made by the man
who raped at the door, had been dis
covered. He repeated the request for
aid in protecting his home and family.
Dist. Atty. Bogue and Sheriff Mae
Kenzie expressed willingness to do any
thing possible to relieve the situation,
but the former told him there was no
county fund available to provide blood
hounds or maintain constant guard
over the premises. If he would have
those he must defray the expense him
