SCULLY AND HOYNE GIVE OUT
- VOTE FRAUD STATEMENTS


In a statement given the press late
yesterday afternoon States Attorney
Hoyne referred to the last primary
''as the most corrupt primary ever
held in Cook county" He said IN
qualified and disqualified persons
were permitted to serve as judges
and clerke and that many judges and
clerks ignored all requests or de-
mands of challengeTs to ascertain
the right to vote of thousands whose
right was questionable.
{, HOyne also referred to a meeting
in Roger Sullivan's Office in the PeO-
pies Gas building, Wednesday even
ing following the primary, and asked
if Judge Scully directed Chief Clerk
Dennis Egan to attend the meeting,
which was attended also by Frank S.
Ryan, R. M. Sweitzer and Sweitzers
lawyer; and asked if Judge ScUIly
knew that the matter discussed at
that meeting was the express neces-
sity Of stopping the states attorney
and the grand jury investigating into
vote frauds.
He asks if it isn't true that at that
meeting it was decided that the best
way to stop the states attorney was
to let the county. judge and Chief
tCIerg Egan handle that matter by
terrorizing the police department
and threatening to prosecute officers
assigned to the states attorneys
office.
8 Hoyne also asked if Judge Scully
directed Chief Clerk Egan to call the
meeting in Attorney Fyffe's Office
yesterday morning for the purpose of
perfecting plans for stopping the
states attorney and the grand jury
by drastic prosecutions of police Off
,cials.
Hoyne's. statement was brought
out by one given the morning papers
for publication yesterday, in which

''He is the first to make it. In fact,

BARABOO HUNTERS
RETURN MONDAY

Wilbur Cahoon, Jr.. Henry Bittrich,
Albert Templin, Fred Tempt n
and, Isaac Farnsworth have re
turned from their hunting trip from
near Park Falls, in Price county, and
their friends are glad to know that they
were successful. Fred Templin got
large buck weighing 23O pounds, Will
Der Cahoon a one hundred and fifty
FOUNDER, and Albert Templin also
brought one which weighed less than
the others. They enjoyed their vaca-
ton very much and each in turn demon
strated what excellent cooks they were.
However all returned hale and hearty,
seeming to have suffered no i'll effect
from the viands. They report the dee
very plentiful and that many does are
shot and lying on the ground, owing to
the law against killing does. 1t is not
always easy to distinguish between the
two when the deer is hurrying through
the brush, especially when the hunter
has bad case of buck fever. As the
hunter is not allowed to carry the doe
he leaves it lying and continues his
hunt until he gets one he can take
home. Many of the beautiful creatures
loose their lives in this manner. One
party while in the forest about three
hours found seven dead does.
One party of five hunters kille d
five does before they had therequired
number of bucks they were entitled to.
Robert Atom and his party from Prairie
du Sac were located not far from the
Skillet Creek hunters and they too,
have returned home in the little red
Ford and their five deer were expressed
to Prairie du Sac.

Friday

The sum of So. 0)0 was voted for the
relocating, grading and surfacing of
portion of the Spring Green Plain
highway in the town of Spring Green.
The resolution was first lost by vote
! of ii to II and when recOnsld
dered carried bg a vote of Is
to a. The improvement is to be
made near the iowa line and it was
claimed the road would benefit but few
persons in the town of Spring Green
and for that reason the tax payers Of
that town should not be asked to bear
the burden. The road leads from Plain
to Spring Green and benefits the peo'
pie of Plain and vicinity more than any
, others.
1t was decided to make further
investigation as to the So, 600 road fund
of the town of Deton before pas
sing upon the question. 1t may be the
town has received the amount and is
therefore not entitled to the sum.
To clear up some of the accounts on
the books of the county, it will be nee
essary to see some of the town records.
| For this reason the matter was laid over
until January. The accounts pertain 70
! the books of the towns and the high
J way commissioner.
The committee on county poor report
ed that an Inspector sent out by the
state fire insurance department, recon-
mended better fire protection at the
county farm. The question will come
I'D at the January meeting.
1t was decided to raise $1,000 for clerk
hire for the ensuing year for the coun-
ty clerk and highway commissioner.
The board then adjourned.
The budget prepared by the county
board of supervisors is about $40, 900
more than last year. The big increase
! is in the amount to be expended for
the repair of the county highways.
Last year about $4,000 was appropri-
ated and it required that amount to
pay the indebtedness of that fund. This
year there is deficit 80 it was decide
to make the amount large enough tt
pay off the indebtedness and sum lef4
to repair some of the highways thai
need it. The committee on county high
WAYS asked for $50, 900 but the boart
decided it would be best to raise GO
amount to $50, 900 and this was done
Bv doing this the whole amount to OF
collected in taxes in the county was IN
creased 500, 600.
The equalizing committee IoWere'
the town of Honey Creek ST. OOO am
raised the town of Reedsburg. 81, OOO.
These were the only changes made Ii
the report of c. II. Stone, the asses
sor of incomes, which speaks mos
complimentary of his excellent work.
The state tax will be little less thai
last year. The rate all over the count
will probably be little higher than lag
year, depending, of course, on tn
amounts to be raised in the sewers
cities, villages aad towns. The count
tax being more will have tendency t.
increase the rate all over the county.

hogs from the town of Fairfield to Bar
aboo where they were shipped to
packing house. There were eighty hogs
in the lot and this is the frat time in
forty years that hogs have been driven
from the Thomas farm to Baraboo.
Heretofore the hogs have been 30 fat
that it was necessary to haul them to
market. This year the fattening quail
ty of the corn is far from being up to
the standard and for that reason the
porkers are not up to the average.
They were turned into corn field but
failed to fatten as they should. The
hogs grew, but did not accumulate tat
and were in condition for the walk to
town which required about five hours.
