CLAIMS HE RODE in
AN auto In 1879

Madison, Wis, Feb. 25.-Tax Com
missioner Nils p. Haugen, who was a
member of the legislature in 1879.
claims the historical distinction OF
having had a ride in the first auto
mobile used in Wisconsin. In 1875 the
legislature appropriated $4,000 for the
invention of a horseless carrier
During the session of 1879 the first
i1orseless carriage was brought here
from Oshkosh, having taken almost a
week to come across the state" said
MF. Haugen today.
William Hall was then the assem-
blynan from that district of Winnie
bago county. and he and his friends
worked hard TO have the award given
to the Oshkosh inventors. The appro-
priation was finally cut down to $4,000
and passed.
While the machine was here every
member ofkti1e legislature was given a, ,
ride. but the machine could never be
accredited with having exceeded the
speed limit" ~
