An Early Wisconsin Duel.

Wisconsin fortunately has never been
the scene of many duels. Ia the south :
western lead mining district, however,
where the Southern influences FREEDOM
mated in the EARLIER day, personal en-
counters of this kind occasionally took
place. One of the most remarkable of
these occurred in 1885 between Col. T.
B. Shaunce a we'll known Dodgeville
wit, and an Irishman named McMurty.
The Irishman being the challenger,
Shaunce chose the weapons rocks, at
distance of forty feet, neither party
to stir from his tracks till satisfied.
1.-The news of the affair of honor"
having leaked out, on the day of the
encounter, a large crowd assembled at
the appointed place of meeting, near
the mouth of an old mining shaft just
outside the village of Dodgeville. The
two principles appeared with their Sec
onds at the appointed time. and
Shaunce was called upon to indicate,
where his opponent should station him
self. He coolly proposed that McMurty
sland at the bottom of the shaft. which
happened to be just forty feet deep,
while he would stand at the top. For
once the Irishman was the victim in
stead of the perpetrator OF a practical
joke. Of course the affair was called
off. and the whole crowd adjourned to a
near by tavern to drink at the Irish
mans expense.

Great Growth in Use of
SchooIhouseS


A steady, substantial and rapid in
crease of the use of Wisconsin public
schoolhouses as community centers is
indicated in the responses to the
QUESTIONABLE sent out by the Univer-
sity Extension bureau Of community
center development to 900 Wisconsin
school principals.
The report shows that 387 public
schooihouses have now begun to be
systematical used as community cen
tiers, as compared with 265 buildings SO
used in 1918 and SO in 1911.
The total number of meetings of a
community character, according to this
report in 1911 was 1866. In 1918 they
numbered 2,452. Last season the mum :
Der reached the high mark Of 1882.
Systematic district organization of
the citizens was achieved in five COM
munities in 1911; in fifteen, two years
later; and in III last season.
The number Of school buildings used
for polling places according to this re-
port was twelve in 1911: so in 1918;
last season, 70.
Increase in the number of districts
in which the schoolhouse was used as a
club house for young people between
school age and maturity is shown by
the fact that in 1911, "a reported this
use; in 1918, 60; while last season the
young people of 102 districts had this
provision.
