In last weeks issue the Fenni-
more Times correspondent at Bos-
cobel said that if he was correctly
informed the Prairie du Chen Courier
was the oldest newspaper in this part
of the state. The qualification saves
Mr.. Robinson, for while it may be
that the Courier was started in 1916,
the Grant County Herald was started
in 1913. And what is more, the
Courier was a dead one for quite
while, but The Herald has been
potential factor in this good county
for more than 70 years. I'M. A.
meant well, but he does not read The
Herald, otherwise he would be better
informed regarding the antiquity of
the press in this part of the state.
Sheriff Frank Hiel has had some
luck since he came into office. When
he was installed there was only one
prisoner in the bastile. And for
long time before boarders were not
very numerous. But soon business
began to pick up, and at times he has
had as many as dozen inmates in
charge. Last Saturday he had eight
in the Jail, and two were out on
parole working to pay their fines.
One Of these was the George Wyman,
alias Rattlesnake Pete" who was
fined on the charge of bootlegging.
He is working on a farm in Liberty
town, and the proceeds of his hire
come to the sheriff. All of which is
accounted good business. 1t has so
happened that large percentage of
those who have been charged with
crimes and misdemearor during the
past three months have been caught.
