Przen0ysl Has Fallen
After 6-M0nth SIEGE

Pelfogfad, March 22.-PrZemysl has
fallen, it is officially announced. Il
is proclaimed as The greatest Russian
victory of the war and it releases CO.
o00 Russian troops, which Immediate
ly will be sent to reinforce the armies
holding back Won Hindenburg in Po-
land. The siege began September
20, when the Russians marched
through the Carpathians. In October
Austrian and German forces drove off
the besiegers. A fortnight later Cen
eral Dimitrieff crushingly defeated
this force and renewed the siege. The
news Of the fall of Frzemysl was re-
celved with the greatest enthusiasm
at Potrograd. Crowds gathered and
cheered today as the bulletins were
posted. When the Russians entered the
fortress the defenders were in the
last eHtfemities from disease and hun
ger, and it was apparent surrender
came only after it was utterly impos-
slble longer to hold out. The men
had been compelled to eat spoiled food
and extreme sickness was general. 1t
Is impossible to give adequate medical
aid. Russian dispatches spoke in the
highest terms Of the heroism of the
Austrians. The next Russian move.
il is expected, will be an advance upon
Cracow.

FATHER HAlTS
ELOP|KG COUPLE

That Cupid now and then bumps up
against some hard propositions was
proved again yesterday when H. Win
ters and pretty II year old Eva Dia-
mond of Caledonia were met at the
Northwestern depot at Madison by an
officer. According to the information
received by the police the couple elop-
ed and at the request of the father of
the girl their journey ended there.
Winters and Miss Diamond left home
early yesterday morning and arrived in
Madison at 7:20 O'Clock. 1t is under
stood that they had planned on going
to some northern town to get married.
However, the father could not see
things as did his daughter, and as she
is under age he had a right to request
the police to take the couple into custo-
dy.
Winters and the girl were taken back
to Caledonia yesterday afternoon. lt>is
understood that Winters has been in
the employ of the father of the girl.

John Singleton Crowder returned to
Madison from California yesterday af-
ter months visit to the exposition,
Mr.. Crowder was a delegate from
Wisconsin to the National association
of Life Underwriters which met in San
Francisco Aug. lila and was elected q
member of the executive committee
which helps to direct the work of all
the insurance companies in the United
States. Mr. Crowder is assistant state
manager of the Central Life and is as
ISOLATED with A. C. Larson. He was
formerly pastor of the First M. E.
church in Baraboo.
Sixteen years ago John Stadler first
helped with the threshing on the
ShOephoerster farm DIETER known as
the Warren or Gruhb FARM on the East
Sank road short distance south of
town. Every year since then he has
been on hand and went again this year
just to keep up the record. After six
teen years he finds that besides himself
of the original threshers there
was but one, Ed. Meyers, presen
to make the wheels go round. Six
teen years is not long time but often
long enough to almost change every
inhabitant in an entire community.
A. G. Cole is building a new dam in
the narrows of Narrows Creek a short
distance west of Ableman. A number
of years ago the late Joseph Cadieu
conducted mill there and since then
the power has not been used to any
great extent. At one time Mr.. Cole
cold the property to Walter Kelley,
but no improvements were made. Dur
ing the years the mill burned, the dam
went out and in other ways the prop
erty went to ruin. Mr.. Cole proposes to
complete the work as soon as possible
and reopen the mill. Possibly he will
install dynamo. There is a fall of
six feet at the dam and five and one
half feet more in the race which gives
a total of eleven and one half feet.

Bumper Crops.

Oats! Well, yes Just few. Five min
utes before we drove into Denzer a
threshing machine blew the whistle at
the completion of job on the George
Klotz farm and it was learned from
those running the machine that 1920
bushels by weight had been threshed
from twenty acres, and others were re-
ported better. The fields of wheat, oats
and other small grain were thickly
studded with shocks.
The corn in the valleys of Honey
Creek and other sections of the county
to the southwest of Baraboo looks much
better than near this city The grubs
have not been so busy and in many
fields the ears are already hanging
down. There will be plenty of corn on
some of the farms if Jack Frost will
keep at respectable distance long
enough.
