POAD GETS Is YEARS.

In circuit court for this county, in
session this week, with Judge T.. c.
Higbee of Lacrosse presiding for Judge
Clementson because of sickness il the
latter's family, Samuel Poad, recently
of Linden, pleaded guilty to the charge
of assault with intent to murder, upon
the chain of evidence being drawn 30
tightly that it was choking, although
he had stubbornly maintained that he
was innocent. Judge Higbee at once
sentenced him to Waupun for % years.
The crime for which poad was ar
rested and bound over was that com
mitted on Friday evening, Feb. 10. last.
when some iuhuman prowler shot
through a window at the farm Of
Thomas Hartford, short distance
southeast of this city, binding a little

Auto Plunses Into River.

Saturday evening last five autos
loaded with "goodtime" fellows from
Blanchardville, whizzed into this city.
They (the fellowsl mixed readily with
the big crowd in town, composed of
home denizens and others from various
outside sections, and none seemed to
enjoy life more than the Blanchardville
contingent. After the business lights
of our city were doused said five autos
with their passengers pulled out at a
merry clip for the place from whence
they came, some twenty odd miles
away.
Whether all went Via Hollandale the
pencil pusher doesn't know, or care,
but one of the cars with five passengers
did, that's sure. 1t passed through
HoIandale right side up and its human
freight in a happy mood. Less tban a
mile beyond that village where the
road, though good, is anything bGt
straight, there is a bridge spanning the
East Pecatonica river. This the auto
approached at speed, as reported by
its occupants, of at least forty miles to
the hour. Instead of taking the bridge
centrally it rushed thereon at the ex-
trene edge of one side and took flying
leap into the water six feet below. The
car lhded squarely on It's feet, so to
speaklnand its activity died without
much of fiutter, squatting there until
dragged out the next day. All five
passengers were lucky, sustaining only

More than a third OF century
of successful merchandising and
the fact that our first four months
business for 1915 shows a very sub
stantial increase over former years
should be sufficient guarantee to
all that our methods and fair deal
ing have satisfied the buying pub
lie in every way.
We are content with a very
modest advance over the cost OF
production. We rely on the great
volume of business transacted,
rather than the limited trade and
large profits. This has always
been the policy of our store and
we plan still lower prices in the
future, assuming our friends will
sufiicicetly increase their business

NO NEW MEMBERS

Vagrant Suspects in Court
Discharged or Fined for
Other Reasons
SICK COLORED MAN
is DISCHARGED

Judge Churchman is still on the
hunt for candidates for the street
tramp gang. Several prisoners in City
Court today had narrow escapes from
being sentenced to the gang. There
were two, Patrick Burke and Daniel
Casey, whose cases had been contin-
ued from yesterday in order to ascer-
tain if they really had homes. Burke
said he worked for Alfred Pike. at
Talleyville, while Casey said he lived
with his father at duPont's Banks
The two men escaped the gang, as
their stories were found to be partly
correct. Court officer Jolly said that
Burke had worked at Talleyville, but
had been away from the farm for two
weeks. Judge Churchman told him to
go back to work. The officer said that
Casey's father lived at duPont's
Banks.
Judge Churchman told Casey that
the trouble with him was that he had
spent three-fourths Of his time during
the past year in the workhOuse. Burke
was told to go back TO Talleyville,
while Casey was fined SO and costs.
John Malloy, of Philadelphia, who
said he came here to work at Carney's
Point, charged with drunkenness, was
dismissed. John Lutz, of Chester, was
also charged with drunkenness. He
said he was on his way home from
Baltimore and upon promising to walk
the remainder of the way to Chester,
if released. was dismissed. Jackson
Demuth was fined SO and costs on a
charge of drunkenness.
John Turner, colored, pleaded guilty
to a charge of vagrancy and looked,
for a time, as a likely candidate for
the street tramp gang. Upon going
into the case IL was learned that Tur-
ner had pleaded guilty to a charge he
did not understand.
DO you know what vagrancy is%
asked Judge Churchman.
"No. | do not" said Turner.
'Why did you plead guilty to il
them" asked Judge Churchman.
We'll. I amt guilty OF anything
mot a thing" said Turner.
He said he had a home and worked
for Nicholas Fidance, a contractor
land lived at Eighth and Scott streets
He said he was born a slave in Soutl
Carolina and came here after the war
He said he was 60 years Of age bu
looks as il he might be 75.

he found Turner last night leaninl
over a fire in a cellar of one Of
