If often costs more to collect bill
THAN it is worth, yet the effort should
be made in order to prevent the world
from becoming filled with the non pay
ing class. The following from the
GAINESVILLE Gazette tells of the troubles
of an officer to collect bill for Charles
Wild, proprietor of the Meyers hotel,
VINO was a resident of Baraboo for
many years. The article reads as fol-
lows:
1t cost Sheriff A o. Chamberlain
about fifty dollars to collect bill of
eighteen dollars under the Chicago
court system of law and writ Of ha-
beas corpus, issomething that the Rock
county officials will not take kindly to
in the future About month ago q war
rant was sworn out for the apprehen-
sion for George Fl. Connolly, a travel
ing salesman, for beating" bill at
the Meyers Hotel amounting to
eighteen dollars.
Connolly was located in Chicago and
a telegram was sent to the Chicago de-
tectives to arrest him They did. But that
was all the good it did them that time
Somehow Connolly was released. Why
and how, the authorities do not know
or did they attempt to find out. Again
Connolly was ''pinched" on the order
of Sheriff Chamberlain and this time
was held over. The travelling salesman
proved to be somewhat of an attorney
for he refused to come to GAINESVILLE
without requisition papers. This meant
a trip to Madison and when an officer
who sent to have the papers signed by
Governor Philip to bring Connolly back
to Wisconsin, it was found some one
had neglected to sign the requisition
papers correctly. This meant return
trip to GAINESVILLE to obtain certified
statement to comply with the red tape
