BURGLARS MAKE A
BIG HAUL AT BURTON
Enter Store OF ]. J. Martin and
Get JeweIry.
A Number of Gold Watches and a
Tray of Rings Disappear
Other Crimes.

During the night of last Wednes-
day, March 3, burglars entered the
store of John j. Martin, in Burton,
and carried away a number of gold
watches, a tray Of rings and other
Items of jewelry to the value Of 5000
or more The officers of the law
were notified at once, and although
every possible effort has been made
to locate the culprits, nothing can
now be reported regarding the
identity of those who committed
the act.
1t seems that Mr.. Martin did not
remove the jewerly trays from the
show cases on that evening, as was
his custom. He left the store in
the evening, going direct to his resi-
dence, which adjoins the store build
ing, and about 10 o'clock went :. to
bed. He heard no disturbance during
the night, and was unconscious of his
loss, until he opened the store in the
morning.
Entrance was effected through a
basement window, and once in the
cellar the light fingered gentry made
their way to the main floor. Of
course the act of robbing was quickly
accomplished, and then there was
nothing for the intruders to do but to
"beat it, which they generally
know how to do. Up to the time of
going to press, these fellows are still
in the act of "beating it," and with
complete success. But they may be
taken, yet.
There may be a connecting link
between this crime and a robbery that
was committed early the same morn
ing Wednesday, at Lacrosse. 1t is
pointed out by those wise in the ways
of those burglariously inclined, that
the Lacrosse job might have been
done, freight train caught coming
south on the Burlington, and the
crooks drop off at Mccartney water
tank, where nearly all freights stop
for water, ard then they would be
within striking distance of Burton.
The store of Mr.. Martin is only three
miles from Mccartney water tank.
A store was entered at Potosi a
few nights earlier than the Burton
robbery, but goods of such small
value were taken that it was not
thought worth while to follow the
matter. Had that been investigated,
or had it been reported to the officers,
it is more than possible. that the
Burton crime would never have been
committed.

Miss Eleanor Parker Dead.

At the General hospital, Madison,
on Saturday evening last, died Miss
Eleanor Parker, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dwight I. Parker, of Fenni-
more, at the age of 27. Death fol-
lowed few days after major opera
tiOn made to relieve disorder of
long standing.
Miss Eleanor was the next to the
youngest of five daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. Parker, and was known as a
young woman of real talent and many
accomplishment. Until her health
failed, she gave much time to the
study of music and was accounted a
musician of marked ability.
There survive, besides the parents,
four sisters: The Misses Amy and
Gladys; Ethel, now Mrs. r. Peniglly,
Evansville, Indiana, and Marie, now
Mrs. Arthur Keller, Aberdeen, South
Dakota. Funeral was held from the
home in Fennimore, on yesterday af-
ternoon, conducted by the Rev. Mr..
Bird, River Falls, formerly a pastor
of the Nj. E. church of Fennimore.

Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Iuey Celebrate Golden Wedding

Last Thursday was day of deep
and genuine delight in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Ivey, 40
South Adams street. The worthy
couple had celebrated in their own
quiet way the recurring anniversaries
of their wedding for forty nine years,
beginning with the first anniversary
away back on March 4, 1866, but
this time 1T was their golden wedding.
Custom makes this the most important
social event in the lives of thuse who
have happily survived the intervening
years.
And so it was at the Ivey home.
All other celebrations were dwarfed
in significance. althou2h there was
little of the activity that usually at
tends such a function. For several
years Mrs. Ivey has been a semi-in-
valid, and for the past five weeks
her condition has given much concern
to the family. But there were

FOOLISH BOYS RELIEVE
STRAIN ON HEN BOOSTS
Bound Over to Circuit Court, and
Go to Jail in Default
of Bond.

Two foolish boys are in Jail in this
city and probably the friends and
relatives of these foolish boys are
Inundated and disgraced by reason
of the condition. 1t all comes about
because of wrong standards of living
those boys thought they just had to
have money without working for it.
They are Ed. Schnering and Carl
Weber, of Cassville.
These two young fellows were seen
carrying sack down the streets of
Cassville the other evening, and this
is the one kind of load that Cass-
Williams will not tolerate, without
some sort of an investigation. Ac-
cordingly, the Cassville detective was
put on the trail, and the way he
tracked that package to first princi
Piles would do credit to Vidocq, or
any other real or tabled snoop.
To find the hen coop that had suffer
ed migrations, without warning, that
was the task the detective set for
himself. And he landed. +. w.
Kleinkhammer allowed that several
of his best egg makers had disappear
ed without any sort of excuse or
apology, and he fain would look on
them again. Then purchasers of
headess fowls were found, and the
boys were placed under arrest.
Justice C. w. Burrows, of Lam
caster, thought the case good enough
to warrant a trial and bound them
over to circuit court. 1t is said that
the worst thing about the boys is
love for booze. When properly soused
they do bad things, at least it is
said the Schnering fellow has been
in trouble before. They could not
furnish bond for $500 each, and are
in Grant county Jail.

Wedding--B Bennett POIIer.

At the home of the groom's par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Poller,
Platteville, on Wednesday evening,
February "a, were married Miss Myrl
Bennett and Ira Poller. The bride is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Bennett, east of Lancaster,
but at the time of the wedding was
visiting married sister in Platte
vile.
At the ceremony the happy couple
was attended by Miss Carrie Poller,
a sister Of the groom, and Ora Ben
nett, brother of the bride. Follow
ing the ceremony wedding dinner
was served. The bride was gradual
ed from the Lancaster high school,
and from the Monroe Business in
stitute. For a number of years she
was stenographer for w. E. Lathrop,
in Lancaster. The groom is assistant
cashier of the State Bank of Platte
vile, in which institution he has
been employed for eight years.
No honey moon trip was taken, in
stead the happy couple has already
set up housekeeping in Platteville,
amid the good wishes of a large
circle of friends in Platteville and

ed the south end of this county. She
was married to Alexander Ivey, at
British Hollow, on March 4, 1865,
the Rev. VIM. Summerside officiat-
ing. He was a minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
To them were born seven children :
Miriam, now the wife CO George @.
Sykes, Lancaster; Jospeh Eudey,
Lancaster; George Earl, Lancaster;
Alexander, of Estherville, Iowa !;
William Leroy, Fort Atkinson !;
Mildred, wife of Oscar Wright, Lam
caster, and Ned Wheeler, Platteville.
There are five grand children: Miriam,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Eudey Ivey; Mildred May, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Ivey, Jr. !;
Lucien, son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Leroy Ivey, Anna Mildred and
Martha, daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
Oscar Wright.
During the past so years Mr.. Ivey
has held a number of positions of
trust with his fellow men, and has
always been held in the highest con-
fidence. He was postmaster of
British Hollow for nine years. He
was county treasurer for two terms,
from 1874 to 1873. While he was
here in the discharge of his duties
as treasurer he formed the scheme of
transferring the business of his firm
from British Hollow to Lancaster.
He was at one time an alderman in
this city has been at the head of the
local order OF the G. A. R., and has
held places of trust with the Odd
Fellows and with fraternal societies.
Originally the family attended the
Primitive Methodist church; since liv-
ing in Lancaster they have been as
sociated with the M. E. denomina-
ton.
Many congratulated them.

flowers in great profusion; the sons
and daughters were all there, and
it was happy day for the bride and
groom of half century ago. A few
close friends called to offer sincere
congratulations. aside from that it
was home day for the reunited
family, for the three sons who have
gone out into the big world were
back for the occasion. Again father,
mother, five sons and two dau lighters
sat at table for a family dinner.
Alexander Ivey was born in County
Cornwall, England, March 10, 1897,
the son of Joseph and Miriam Ivey,
and was brought by his parents to
this country the same year. His
! family went to Pennsylvania, where
his father was killed, in 1912. His
mother married again, this time to
Joseph Tremellen, and the family
came to Wisconsin, and settled at
Rockville. Here Alex. grew to man
hood, and early in life followed min
ing in the zinc and lead diggings
in the south part of the county.
In 1859, with an associate, he went
to Guilford county, North Carolina,
and took a contract for sinking a
shaft in the copper fields, and as luck
would have it this job was completed
and settled for the day before Fort
Sumter was fired on, April II, 1861.
Mr.. Ivey did not wait to investigate,
but took the first train for the north,
and kept going until he reached Rock
vile. Then he did not tarry in
those peaceful surroundings, but
made direct by stage for Madison tor
the purpose of enlisting. He had no
trouble in getting into Co. D, 7th
Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and
remained at Camp Randall until sent
to the front. 1t should be remember
ed that the 9TH Wisconsin was part
of the famous Iron Brigade.

ON SHAFT;
LIFE POUNDED AWAY
Wood-SaWing Machine Brings
Death to Mont. Waldorf.
Fatal Accident Occurs at Farm of
ByrI Greene, Near Fenni-
more Village.

While helping to saw wood at the
farm of Byrl Greene, three miles out
of Fennimore, last week Thursday
Montgomery Waldorf was caught in
the shafUing and before the engine
could be stopped the rapidly revolv-
ing shaft had pounded his life away,
or so nearly so that he lived but a
few hours.
1t seems that with others, Mr..
Waldorf was at work around a wood
saving outfit, not one of the portable
sort, but one that was attached to a
stationary engine. In some way I'M
accountable, his clothing became en-
tangled with the shaft, which was
revolving rapidly. By the time the
engine was shut down, and that was
done almost Immediately, the poor
man had been swung through the air
at such a pace that nearly all his
clothing was torn from his body, and
it is said that every bone in his body
was broken.
AS soon as the body was released
from the shaft, it was taken to his
home in Fennimore, and medical help
summoned. He died six hours later,
without regaining consciousness. He
was SO years old, and is survived by
wife, son and three daughters.

CITY SALARIES FIXED
FOR THE YEAR 1915
No Change, Except in Case
of Treasurer.
Road Grader Bought--Lighting Con-
tract Pending, and Other
Council Matters.

Council meetings are coming thick
and fast these days. At recent
session the salaries of city officers
were fixed for this year. Of course
there was little change from last
years schedule, but for fear the
readers of The Herald have for
gotten what Lancaster is paying it's
servants we will print the payroll.
City clerk draws $500 a year, and
the treasurer will be paid $500 this
year. The city attorney will draw
500 and the city health officer is due
to get $50 for the year. Engineer
at the pumping station gets 500 a
month, which is cheap enough, if he
has to live in the Klundike country.
And then the superintendent of the
water works will draw SO month,
if there is no tangle in affairs; while
the chief of police gets 500 per
month, and the night Waterman is
allowed $40 a month. The mayor
will draw the same old stipend OF
honor.
There has been a movement on for
some time to buy road machine, or
a set of road-making machines. The
council left this matter to Aldermen
Caspers, Austin and Wiedenbeck, and
Chief of Police George Mccarthy.
They took on the Indiana road grader,
one of the best made, and it costs
the city $3.50.
A lighting proposition was made in
detail to the city, by the officers OF
the Lancaster light and power COM
pany, which amounts to about 3d.

WILL EXHIBIT SPECIMEN
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Probably Only Afflicted Tongue in
State Will Be Shown--in
Glass Case.

There will be big exposition held
at Madison on next week Thursday to
Saturday, March 25 to 27, in which
the work of Wisconsin University
will be fully shown.
No doubt this will be very interest
ing and instructive, and it may result
in convincing the Legislature that
more money is needed by the big
school.
Only one specimen of the foot and
mouth disease has the government al
lowed TO be made in Wisconsin and
that will be on exhibition at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin exposition.
More than $3,OOO,OOO, has be en-
paid to farmers in the United States
for cattle killed between October and
January in an effort to stamp out the
epidemic. A tongue enclosed in a
glass case, is one of the few speci-
mems allowed to be preserved. Elk
cellent photographs of foot with
the foot and mouth disease will also
be shown.
Hog cholera, tuberculosis, and
other diseases that have hit Wiscon-
sin farmers will be the subject of
comment in the exhibit. The methods
of detecting the presence OF the
diseases and of dealing with them will
be illustrated as taught to students.

Hollow, where be entered the mer-
camille business, first as a member of
the firm of Wilson & Ivey. This
firm stood two years, when Mr.. Ivey
bought out his partner. In 1869 he
took in William E. Webb as a partner,
the firm then being Ivey & Webb.
They continued in business there until
1873. when they bought the store
building they now occupy in Lancas-
ter and soon transferred all their
stock to this point.
Mrs. Alexander Ivey was born
Annie Eustice, the daughter of
George and Philipa Eustice, at British
Hollow, June 20, 1849 Her parents
came from Cornwall, England, and
were attracted to this section by the

March | IS FARM
tenant MOVING DAY
Also a Time for Filing Convey
anceS of Land.
Hundreds of Documents Swamp the
Register of Deeds--Some
Big Stamps.

There have been the usual movings
by farm tenants, the last few weeks,
and the number of these migrations
is so near LEGION that an enumera
ton of them would be impossible.
All last week the sight of teams haul
ing wagon loads of furniture through
the streets of Lancaster was so COM
mon as to be the subject of frequent
remark. And these were farm ten
ants moving from one farm to
another.
Of course there were many excep-
tions to this rule, the most general
exception being that of tenants who
have bought farms for themselves
and are now moving to them. Over
in Lafayette county there are excep-
tions in the cases of those who may
not move, by reason of the prevalence
of the dreaded foot-and-mouth disease.
There stock may not be moved, end
for that reason tenant who is due to
move cannot fill his obligation.
Many sales have been made during
the closing days of February and in
the beginning of March. Ohio Doll
has sold his 150-acre farm southwest
of town to Burr Walker, but does not
give possession until March i, 1916.
James Huff recently came from the
state of Nebraska and bought $50
acres that adjoins the Franklin land,
north of town. This was once the
Duncalf farm. Mrs. Huff was a
daughter of the late Alexander
Walker, and it is like coming home
for her to go back to that community.
Laurence Reckenthaler has recently
bought the Glen. Hoffman farm of 90
acres, and has move to it. This is
north of the city.
But speaking of real estate con-
veyances, sales and exchanges, re-
minds one that the Office of the
register of deeds has been very busy
one during the past few days. On
Monday of last week there were filed
for record 80 instruments OF one sort
better, there being So of them, and
on Wednesday business for Register
of Deeds T. A. Thompson fell off
until there were filed only 81 instru-
ment. On Thursday the recording
business went into the dumps, for
only 80 documents were left an the
office. Friday and Saturday were
pretty good days, with a deposit of
n instruments.
Of these 136 were warranty deeds,
the others were mortgages, releases
of mortgages, powers of attorney,
patents, quit claim deeds, etc. All
had TO carry revenue stamps, and
these surely did have on them a snug
little fortune. One deed, made by
John and William Gates, executors of
the estate of William Gates, deceas-
ed, had affixed to it S42 in revenue
stamps. This is the largest sum of
revenue attached to a deed so far.
