izens,", was the remark made this
morning when news of the death of
Henry A. Hill reached the city. Mr..
Hill passed away at ii O'Clock Wednes-
day evening in Madison at the General
hospital where he was taken on Sun
day morning in the hope that the at
tention he would receive there would
save his life. Some days ago an abra-
sion Of the foot was caused by a rusty
nail and although immediate attention
was given the injury blood poison en-
sued and the most heroic measures
failed to bring relief,
The deceased, who was a prosperous
farmer, resided but short distance
from the city limits and was most
highly respected throughout the COM
rnunitY. He was a member of the Skill
let Greek Farmers club, a director Of
the Excelsior Creamery, member of
the Board Of Education, president Of
the Short Horn association and clerk of
the school district in which he resided.
Mr. Hill was born and raised on Sauk
Prairie and removed from Stones
Pocket to Baraboo some twenty years
ago. He was 46 years Of age and
leaves a wife, two sons and an adopted
daughter, besides a sister, Mrs. Albert
Young of Baraboo and two brothers,
Jacob Hill of Sauk Prairie and William
Hill of Sarona. The immediate mem
bers of the family were with Mr.. Hill
when the end came The remains ar
rived this afternoon and the funeral
takes place Saturday at one o'clock
at the house and two o'clock at the
Methodist church.

MUST HAVE GONE
AFTER HIS SCALP

Over in Portage, judging from the
newspapers of that city, there seems to
have been squabble between the sup
erintendent of schools and some of the
members of the school board.
The story is long one, about three
columns in type, but the trouble seems
to have arisen from the inability of a
son OF citizen to pass in school. Later
the citizen became a member of the
school board and is alleged to have set
about to make the school board solid
with him presumably in order to oust
the superintendent. It is stated that
the superintendentha has now rounded out
the full complement Of years in the
city schools and further service has no
attraction whatever for him.

Bill Booze Gets
O@o Soldiers

Bill Booze accompanied two soldiers
to Baraboo from North Freedom on
Thursday evening and won out in the
battle that ensued. 1t seems that two
of the members of Battery A, United
States Field Artillery, that camped for
the night at North Freedom, enroute to
Sparta, sauntered into local saloon
and began bantering one of the other
customers with the result that Ia fight
quickly followed. The soldiers are said
to have drawn their guns and these
were taken away from them and they
were otherwise roughly handled. 1t is
said that they had been in company
with Bill Booze for so long that they
were too drunk to fight.

BARNES THE LOSER
IN LIBEL SUIT
After Several Hours Deli
beration Twelve Good
Men and True Agree.

The jury chosen to determine wheth-
er Theodore Roosevelt libeled William
Barnes and, if so, what sum is COM
mensurate with the damages sustained
by the latter, reached verdict to-
day at II o'clock after several
hours of deliberation. The foreman
announced that unanimous verdict in
favor of Roosevelt had been reached
but that they wanted the expense of
the trial divided. This and the fact that
on a poll of the jury one dlssented
makes the verdict illegal. A request re-
garding politics was made by one of the
jurors on the single occasion when he
and his companions were brought back
into the courtroom.
Juror No. 3, Walter J. Zuill, a pro-
gressive, asked Justice William 8.
Andrews to reiterate that part of his
charge in which he said that the jury
men would not be performing their
sworn duty if they considered politics
or allowed their individual political be-
liefs to play any part in the reaching of
verdict.
The jury retired at 3:45 o'clock yes
ter afternoon after William M. WINS,
chief counsel for Mr.. Barnes, had sum
med up the case of the plaintiff and
Justice Andrews had delivered his
charge
