nounee that Chief of Police Ben Springer
will be candidate for the republican
nomination for sheriff of. Rock county
at the coming September primaries.
: Not since R. J. Maltpress was elected
sheriff sixteen years ago has this sec
ton of the county been recognized for
any county office and from geograph-
ical standpoint his announcement ought
to meet with favor. Chief Springer's
record as peace officer of this city
for several years is we'll known about
the county and his training especially
fits him for advancement. He will
have strong support in this end of
the county and the assistance OF the
voters in other districts is confidently
expected, which is the reason for his
early announcement. Pass the word
along SO that all may know that Zen
Springer is in the field. aea

Obituary.
LESTER CARPENTER.

After years of suffering from an in
durable disease, which he bore uncom-
plainingly and with commendable forti-
tude, death came as welcome relief
to Lester Carpenter at his home in this
city, Thursday. April 81.
The deceased, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tho as Carpenter, who were among
the early settlers of the town of Chris
tiana, was born sixty three years ago
and has ever since made his home in
this vicinity. In 1874 he was united in
marriage to Miss Florence Davis at the
Gravel store by Rev. w. w. War
ner. From this union one daugh-
ter, Melva, was born, who with the
widow survive to mourn his loss.
Twelve years ago after he became af-
fected with cancer and unable to work
he retired from the homestead on which
he was born and became resident of
Edgerton.
Funeral services were held from the
home Saturday afternoon, Rev. VIM.
Hooton officiating. and interment took
place in the family lot in Albion Prairie
cemetery.

Beloit Murder Mystery Solved.

HA
Archie Fowler, accused of the muir
der of Rudolph Walvig of Beloit, killed
himself in the county Jail at GAINESVILLE
Wednesday afternoon. He tore up the
blankets of his bed and hanged himself.
Fowler made no confession before he
killed himself, other than the one he
made several days ago when he impli-
Gated another young man-Earl Rey-
nolds of Beloit. Fowler's body was
found hanging in his cell by an attend
ant who came to carry away his lunch
con dishes.
Fowler was negotiating for the pur-
chase of an automobile from Walvig
for which he was to pay him $500. One
evening Walvig took Fowler out riding
in his machine and was not seen after
wards. Fowler made partial confes-
sion to the sheriff at GAINESVILLE, saying
that reynolds had killed Walvig and
threatened to kill him also if he told
the authorities. He led the authorities
to the place where WaLvig's body was
buried under a foot of dirt and leaves
in a lonely field.

Sheep Feeding Yards Close a Big Year

1 -
When few cars of lambs yet at the
Edgerton sheep feeding yards have
been marketed this week the business
there will be practically closed for the
season, for the run from the western
ranges ended some weeks ago. Dur
ing the current year 525 car loads of
sheep and lambs, averaging 200 to the
car, or over $4,000 head were received
at these yards The greatest number
at any one date was on September 10Th
when over 10000 head were quartered
there. Two-thirds of the number COM
ing in from the western range were
sold and forwarded as feeders by Chi
cago commission dealers to feeders in
Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Some
extra fat lambs were shipped direct
from the yards to eastern slaughter at
Buffalo, New York, Jersey City and
Philadelphia, on which settlements were
made on feed yard weights. Good,
thrifty 60 pound lambs were eagerly
bought by feeders at from So to So. IS
per 100 pounds, and yet in spite of
these record breaking prices feeders
have probably made more money this
season than ever before. BY March
LIST we'll fatted lambs were bringing $40
and later as high as $12 when market
ed. 1t has been season when the
gain put on would pay for the feed
consumed which is an unusual thing.
The profits made in feeding this year
are prompting some early contracts for
feeder lambs. on the ranges for next
falisdeHvery. The Shepherds Journal
notes that one of the largest deals ever
made in Wyoming was closed in March,
contracting for So, 500 lambs for Sep.
TENDER delivery at from "a to p cents
per pound, to 60 to Colorado feeders.
From Is to 20 thousand head were
finished for market at the yards here
and consumed "a car loads of corn and
screenings, 80 cars of alfalfa hay be-
sides the roughage raised on the farm
at the yards. A good portion of the
sheep fed out were sheared after ar
irving here. Besides the sheep han
died through the yards, 100 car loads
Of hogs, cattle and horses were cared
for when stopped in transit. These
figures will give our readers some idea
of the business transacted by the Ed
gerton sheep feeding yards. managed
by C. G.. Biederman, which seems to
be placed on satisfactory and increas-
ing basis Another large combination
tobacco shed and feeding barn will be
built this season as we'll as series of
concrete loading chutes. An extension
to the siding completed last fall gives
ample facilities for unloading full train
loads at time. An advantage of the
location of these yards to the immedi-
ate farming community, not as fully
appreciated as it should be, is the fer
tilizer proposition. The past season
some so car loads were shipped out of
town mainly to green houses, every
pound of which might we'll be absorbed
by the farmers hereabouts. Some day
this source of fertility will be more
generally recognized.
