ONE BUCK LAW SAVES LIVES
Conservation Commissions Report
Shows That But One Hunter Was
Killed by Mistake.

Madison.-That only one man in the
whole state was shot and killed by a
hunter during the deer season just
closed was the report made by Com
missioner Barber of the state conser-
walton committee. We have found nu-
merous accident where a hunter has
accidently shot himself, but only the
one case where man was mistaken
for deer or hit by a stray bullet"
he said. 1--WE also find that the one
buck law has worked out successfully.
We are getting daily reports from our
game wardens and thus far have found
only thirty-eight does killed. We also
find that great majority of hunters
are in favor of the law"

HOLsTEIN MEN ORGANIZE
Western Wisconsin Stockmen Propose
Boosting Their Section to Front
in Breeding Ranks.

La Crosse.-Saving thousands of
dollars to western Wisconsin stock
men in freight rates and the placing
of this section of the state well to the
front in stock breeding ranks is ex-
pected to result from the meeting at
0nalaska of twenty representative
Holstein breeders of the counties of
La Crosse, Monroe, Trempealeau, Yer
non and Jackson, and of their organ
ization into the Western Wisconsin
Holstein-Friesian Breeders associa-
ton.
That stockmen in this section of the
state heretofore have been compelled
to buy their blooded Holsteins in Wau-
kesha and Jefferson counties was stat
ed. 1t was with the purpose of Great
ing an adequate supply of cattle of
the particular breed in western Wis
consin that the organization was form
ed. From this time on, Secretary E.
L. Liddle of Onalaska, said, it will be
possible for buyers to obtain carload
lots of Holsteins from the association,
through the cooperation of breeders.

MEDICAL MEN ALL OVER WORLD
WATCH EXPERIMENTS AT
CHIPPEWA FALLS.
WISCONSIN PIONEER IN MOVE
state Places Stamp of Approval on
Operations on Inmates of Home
for Ie-Minded-other
States May Follow

Chippewa Falls.-Medical men all
over the world are watching expert
ments at the Home for the Feeble
Minded in Chippewa Falls, where,
stamped with the approval of the
state, science is making its first or
ganized attempt to prevent the propa-
cation of incompetent children.
Wisconsin's sterilization law, passed
in 1913, is the first of it's kind to be
placed on the statute books, and other
states are watching results of expert
ments conducted here. Operations
have already been performed on two
groups and it has been announced
there will be more operations before
Christmas. Physicians say the first
operations are a success, and it is
predicted that the plan in which Wis
consin is the pioneer, soon will be &C
copied in other states.
Preparations for the operations were
carried on so quietly few persons,
even among the attendants at the in
stitution, were aware of any unusual
activity. The scientific world, how
ever, has had its eyes on Chippewa
Falls ever since it was announced the
new law would be given it's first test.
When it was learned that the state
board of control had appointed board
of examiners, consisting of DR.. A.
Sherman of Oshkosh, DR.. j. R. Lyman
of Eau Claire and DR.. Wilmarth of
Chippewa Falls, there we're some pro-
tests from relatives of inmates who
lacked information about the proposed
operations. These protests we're
quickly stllled when it was learned
that there was no danger connected
with the operations and that in no
case was an inmate operated on I'M
less he had first been examined and
passed by the board and the permits
sion of relatives first obtained.

DEFENDANT SEEKS DEATH
John Kucera First Tries to Hang Self
and Then Purchases
Strychnine.

Racine.-John Kucera, who had a
friend ask Mary Stefka if she would
marry him, and changed his mind af-
ter she accepted, has twice attempted
suicide during the trial of Miss Stef-
ka's $4,000 damage suit against him.
First he tried to hang himself in the
toilet room of the courthouse. The de-
puties cut him down. Then he went
to drug store and bought strychnine.
The deputies arrived just as he started
to eat it and knocked the box from his
hand. Then the jury gave Miss Stefka
a verdict for $1.250. Since then he
has been in Jail, maddened with terror
and grief over his troubles.
