The postofice at SHADES Corner nea

day night or early Monday morning.
They blew the safe and secured curren-
cy aud stamps valued at $500.
The cracking of the safe was accom-
plished during the heavy rain storm,
the robbers took extraordinary pre-
CAUTIONS to guard against detection.
Sacks of flour had been taken from the
store in connection with the office and
piled against the door of the safe to
deaden the noise of the explosion.
After cracking the safe at SHADES
Corner, the robbers seem to have mo-
tored to New Munster where the post
office was entered and the cash drawer
opened with a chisel.
At this office the robbers got So
worth of stamps.

some time Mrs. Swineford has been
making her home in one of the eastern
states.
When the big slide took place at the
Merrimack bridge, preventing trains
from crossing the river, the Kilbourn
stage was used by many who desired to
reach the eastern part of the state.

Trains
Delayed as
Result Of
Big Slide
(E1,om Tuesdays DaiIy.)

AS the result of big slide at the
south end of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railway track across the Wisconsin
river at Merrimack this forenoon, all
train service across the big structure
has been suspended.
The train from Chicago which reach
es Baraboo about 1855 came across all
right and soon after there was big
aide, no doubt due to the long contin-
ued rains. The end of the bridge Is
somesdistance above the water and the
earth slid down into the Wisconsin riv-
er. About ninety feet of the track was
rendered useless.
It was learned it would require some
time, POSSIBLY twenty four hours, to
place the track in a serviceable con-
dition. Passengers from the north may
cross on the ferry and then continue to
the south and passengers from the
south may do the same Necessarily
there will be much delay and heavy
baggage and freight cannot go for
ward.
Those who went to the Baraboo sta
tion for the train which leaves for the
south about IL: 15 were advised not to
attempted to make the trip today.
Trains will come from Madison to the
south end of the bridge and the trains
from theEnorth will go to Merrimack
but the service will be irregular.
Officials and force of men at once
took steps to make the repair. Fortu-
nately no one was injured. A tele-
graph tower station formerly stood at
the south end of the bridge but this
has been abandoned.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)
The track at the south end of the
bridge at Merrimack has again been
repaired and trains are running once
more. Piles were driven into the place
where the earth slid away and in time
the cavity will be filled with earth. AS
sistance from Chicago and BaraboO
worked at.both ends of the slide.
On the bridge are two tracks, one rail
being within the other rails, so that trains
can go but one way. Beyond the abut-
ment at the south end of the bridge the
tracks are together until few rods
south of the stone work where the rails
divide and become double tracks. The
slide was between the stone abutment
and where the double track begins. The
slide included all of the south track and
q portion of the north but did not af-
feet the bank on the north side. The
slide occurred about an hour after the
train which reaches Baraboo about
O'Clock had passed over. The first
train over is the one which leaves Bara-
boo about II is or just about twenty
four hours after the slide took place. A
few people left the trains at Okee and
Merrimack and covered the intervening
distance in boats. The water reaches
Okee so boats make convenient way
of getting from one station to the
other.

FORMER bARAB0O
PEOPLE MAY HAVE
STRUCK It RICH

SIRUCk i KICH
A number of former Baraboo people
may have struck it rich by locating at
Baker, Montana. Gas and oil have been
located and prosperity is in the air.
Among those who have taken home
steads or own property are the follow
ing.
Mrs. Ellen G Harrison, formerly Ell
len Johnson, and Lizzie Scott each own
$50 acres near Baker.
Sidney Cobleigh, who resided on Web
ster Prairie at one time, owns 500 acres
in the oil field.
o. J. Owen, formerly a resident of
the town. of Caledonia, also owns 800
acres.
Attorney F. R. Bentley of Bsraboo
owns four vacant lots in Baker.
One of the wells to be drilled at once
will be in the Hitch addition to Baker.
0. j. Owen writes that tits thought
the whole town is underlaid with gas
ana oil. Mr.. Owen is a real estate deal
er in Baker at the present time. AS TO
how the discovery of oil and gas came
to be made, Mr.. Owen sends clipping
from news paper which reads as fol-
Ows:
Excitement is still running high by
reason of the gas flow which was struck
this week one mile north of Baker. Real
estate sales, which have been slow, are
being made daily and every bit of the
land has been staked under the state
and federal mining laws. The men filing
are taking all the land regardless of
the ownership. oil reserva tons or any
thing else.
It has been known to geolog1sts for a
long time that Baker and the country
surrounding it were underlaid with coal
1t was natural supposition that there
were also gas and oil. In fact maps
have been made showing the limits of
what were supposed to be oil lands
here.
E. A. Monroe Real Discoverer
However, there has never been an at
tempt to bore for gas and oil until E. A.
Monroe brought Thomas Brennon from
Terry, with a boring machine capable of
going down 1900 feet and set him to
drilling on Section No. l, one mile north
of Baker.
1t was at first generally supposed
that Monroe was drilling to obtain wa
ter for his stock, but it was noticed
that while he found water at 400 feet,
which flowed over the top of the we'll,
| the drilling was kept up. Suddenly the
work ceased and it leaked out that a
fiow of gas had been struck at depth
of 925 feet. The hole has been plugged.
A steam gage applied to the rods indi-
! Gates pressure of 21O pounds, though
the driller says the gas is escaping
through 80 feet of mud which has filled
the well to that depth.
Homesteaders Likely to Benefit.
The test we'll is upon land which was
once owned by the Northern Pacific
Railway company and upon which the
company has reserved the oils and min
erals, as it has upon all it's lands there
Homesteaders who have proved up on
their claims have received deeds with
out any reservations and are being ad-
vised by local attorneys that they can
hold the minerals.
Promoters have obtained leases from
the farmers for many tracts and prom
ses have been made that wells will be
sunk in every direction,
