Prisoners taken by the Germans on
that sector now number 1874. The Ger
mans also took nine machine guns.
Paris, May 10.-The crown prince
has lost 10000 in dead and wounded
since he renewed his drive against
Verdun with heavy thrust from the
northwest early Friday, French mill
tary men estimate.
After a violent bombardment of the
French positions on Hill No 304, on
the Verdun Front, the Germans at
tempted an advance. The war office
announced that the attack was re-
pulsed completely. French counter
attacks east of the Meuse drove the
Germans from certain positions they
had captured.
Many Positions Retaken.
The positions recaptured by the
French consisted of some parts of
trenches northwest of Thiaumont.
An intense bombardment was con-
Quoted by the Germans in the sectors
of Elk and Chatillon and between
Douaumont and Vaux
There was grenade fighting at Apre-
mont and in the valley of the Fecht
South of Autreches. near scissors, the
Germans attempted an attack, but
were repulsed.
At Bolante, in the Argonne. the
French captured two small German
posts, killing all the occupants.
Elsewhere on the front there were
no important developments.
The latest assaults of the Germans
on the defenses of Verdun have served
to demonstrate the high pitch of eff
cheney to which the French have
brought the use of the machine gun.
The French front-line trenches are be-
ing defended by machine guns with
comparatively few men to serve them,
and with the addition of new auto
matte rifles, two of which are equiva-
lent to one machine gun.
The Germans suffered the heaviest
losses in frontal attacks on the north
ern slopes of hill 304. After captur-
ing French trenches, they were ex-
posed to a terrible fire from French
guns mounted on the summit. which
spouted death all Saturday night.
Dawn broke on Sunday over bloody
hillsides and piles of bodies scattered
before wrecked trenches.

And now the best known veteran of
them all is gone.
Albert Ringing was not all business
although up to short time ago the de-
tails of the work connected with the
vast circus enterprise were uppermost
in his mind Even in recent years dur
ing the winter season he would pour
over mats studying out the best routes
for the coming summer He also had a
companionable and human side and was
of a sensitive nature. He loved to fish
and and possessed remarkable skill as
an angler and owned a summer cottage
at Mirror Lake, where he INDUCED in
this pastime. ZAP, as he was familiar
ly known. was universally respected and
was known as a man who loved his fell
lowmen. His affection for Baraboo
was pronounced. He continued to call
Baraboo his home when all the other
brothers had taken up their residence
in other cities A lasting monument to
the city Of his choice is the hundred
thousand dollar opera house recently
, completed.
Mr.. Rlngling was also contributor
to other public enterprises, the Ring
Ii ng Brothers giving 5000 TO ward the
erection of the new St. Johns Evangel-
ical Lutheran church which was dedl-
Gated last winter.
The home of AL. Ringing at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Broadway
stands as one of the most perfect and
beautiful models of residence commo-
diousness and comfort in this locality
and was erected on the site of the. old
parental home.

The circus business grew from a
mallsbeginning, an account Of which
appeared IN these columns q few days
ago.
Mr.. Ringling being the eldest of the
brothers naturally shouldered much Of
the responsibility Of building up the
business. Mrs. Ringing, and others
too, worked with the brothers realizing
their highest ambitions, but the final
decision no doubt ofteni fell upon the
Oldest member of the company.
Although the Ringing family moved
to Baraboo in the early 70's it was not
until 1884 that Ringing Brothers cir
Gus made its first real start when the
first performance occurred in the jail
ward here, memorable largely from the
fact that the seats fell down and al
most broke up the show. Previous to
this time, however the brothers, and
especially Albert we're always trying
tricks and the latter swould amuse the
children of the neighborhood with feats
of Juggling and the like picked up from
travelling players. The circus spirit
seemed to be more imbued II Al. than
in any of the others although eachi one
had some part to play when the circus
started out.
In q recent interview Mr.. Ringing
said:

SURPRISE IN COURT
Case From Pain Has Some
Unusual Features and
Verdict Is Unex-
pected.
pected.

On the evening before Thanksgiving
Silas Nachreiner of Plain climbed
into his Ford, his wife and five-yesr- old
son accompanying him. They went to
Mrs. Nachreiner' mother and on the
way home the car stopped near the res
idence of John Rutland Mr. Nachrei-
ner could not get the car started and
borrowed some gasoline at the Rutland
home. There was lone of the Rutland
family at home except daughter aged
about twelve and q, son aged about
eight. After pouring in the gasoline
he found the car would not 60 and made
arrangements with the boy TO use
horse to move the car, but the rope
broke and this had to be given up. The
rope was from bundle of binder
twine and not very strong. As the even
ing was cold and incement the thought
came to Mr. Nachreiner that he might
borrow the Ford car in the Rutland
shsd and this was done, The car is
about three seoson's Old The family
changed to the Rutland car and rode
home The next morning Mr.. Nachrei-
ner attempted to reach the Rutland
house by telephone but was not able to
do so at the time. Later he returned
the car and offered to settle but this
could not be agreed upon. An action
was brought in the court of Justice
Fl l.. Halsted to recover damages
amounting to $25 to the car $50 to the
horse and 500 of an exemplary nature.
The jury consisted of r. C. Fogle,
Paul Gust, Lucius Fl. Bump, Peter Lind,
and Walter Odell. They brought in a
verdict in favor of the defendant which
threw the costs of about $35 on Mr..
Rutland, the one who owned the bor-
rowed machine. After the trial MIR.
i Nachreiner offered to pay SO for the
damages but the offer was refused. The
case may go to circuit court.

Al. Ringing Passes Away On
Saturday Afternoon AS
The Result Of Heart
Disease.

The family founded and maintained the
famous German publishing house, we'll
known in the seventeenth and eigh-
teenth centuries. Frederick Rungeling,
the grandfather of the Ringing
brothers, was born in Dankelshausen,
II anover, in 1895. Like the relatives
on the mothers side, the father and
of Frederick were soldiers,
the one losing his life and the other
his health for his country.
Frederick Rungeling attended college,
invented potato bread during famine,
married Rosir.a Baurmann and became
wealthy from his inventions of different
kinds, They were blessed with son
and daughtar, the son being August
Ringing, the father of the Ringing
brothers. The son learned the saddlery
tr ade, financial disaster came to his
father, and the young man came to
Canada and then to Milwaukee. After
wards he became foreman in a saddlery
factory and later married Salome Juliar.

AL. kingling, the foremost citizen OF
Baraboo died few minutes past z
O'Clock on the afternoon of the first
day of the year 1916. Ever since the
opening of the new theatre on the night
of November II, he had not been feel
ing 40 we'll and for the past few days
had been very weak. His illness dated
from the time one Of the Gil cu3es was
in fire at Cleveland, Ohio, few
years ago. After the circus had been un-
loaded the empty cars were placed on
siding in lumber yard and during the
afternoon fire in the yard caused a
number of the cars to burn. Mr.. Ring
ling was with the show and he should
cred the responsibility of getting the
circus to the next stand.
The great exertion at that time re-
suited in difficulty with his heart and
that organ gave him trouble ever after.
For long time he was not able to
walk up the stairs and had to use every
precaution to prevent fatality.
During the winter of 19l3-l9l4 ne
spent the time at Sarasota, Florida,
and returned in the spring with the be
ginning of operations on the new thea
tire. The work on the structure occu-
pied his attention during the summer,
although he was in feeble health all the
time. When a public ovation was given
him in the courthouse park
he was able to be present IN an au-
t0mobile and often IN fine weather
took rides about the city. He was pres
ent on the night of the opening of the
new AL Ringing theatre on November
IL and with Mrs. Ringing received the
congratulations of his relatives and
many friends The event did not seem
at the time to tax his strength but
few days after he was not 80 we'll and
continued to grow weaker during the
few remaining days of the year.
A few hours before he died he was
thought to be better but a change for
the worse came and in very short
time the end had come.
The Ancestors
The ancestors of the Ringlings came
from Central Europe, of French and
German blood. One of their grandfath-
ers fought with the German Hanovar-
ians under Wellington at Waterloo while
a great-grandfathe fought with Ma
poleon in the same battle, and then
spent nine years as q prisoler of war
in England The Ringlings have al
ways considered themselves of German
descent, the ancestor who fought with
Napoleon being German from Alsace.
His name was Etling. Nicholas
Juliar, Frenchman, married Etling's
daughter, Helena, she being the grand
mother of the Ringing brothers on the
mothers aide. The Juliar family re-
sided in the village of Ostheim, Alsace,
until 1845 when they came to Milwau-
kee. There were five children, and the
mother of the Ringing Brothers was
one of them.
The Ringing branch of the family
takes one back to the time when the
Hugenots were scattered as refugees
over Europe. A number of them set
tied in Hanover and among them was
one Richelin pronounced Rec -sha-lang)
The name gradually changed to. R,nge-
ling.

Al Born in Chicago

In the meantime Mr.. Rungeling had
changed his name to Ringing and the
couple moved to Chicago. Here Albert
or. AL. as he IS farniliariy known, was
born on Dec. 13, 1852, then they mo7-
ed back to Milwaukee and MIR Ringling
being desirous of engaging in business
for himself, came to Baraboo. During
the hop crash he was caught in the vor-
tex and moved to McGregor. Later the
family resided at Prairie du CHEN, Still
water, Rice Lake and Baraboo becom-
ing the permanent home of the family
before the sons embarked in the amuse-
ment business.
