JOS. HAUSER. OF CUBA CITY, EN-
AHMED SATURDAY AND AID
JUDGED INSANE.

Drs. Doolittle and Godfrey conducted
an examination Saturday into the
sanity of Jos. Hauser of Cuba City,
and found him to be of unsOund mind.
Hauser is a native of Germany, and
has lived here for a number of years.
He was confined in Mendoza on July
81, 1907, but after a stay of several
months, obtained his release. The rec
ords show that he was committed at
that time for the same cause as at
present-that of quarrelsOmeness and
fighting without reason Hauser
seems to be fairly rational, but is sus-
picious of everyone, and thinks his
neighbors have grudge against him.
Last Friday he attacked Joseph
Longbotham of Cuba City in the Lip
pold restaurant, inf1icting wound on
Longbotham's ear with some sort of an
instrument.
He does not speak English well, and
the examination was held in German
with E. c. Brick acting as interpre-
ter. Hauser said that in Germany
even a convict was treated better than
he had been and that he intended go
ing back there by the first boat.
He waived a jury examination and
upon the physicians recommendation
was committed Hausers wife is a
paralytic living at Cuba City, and it
is said that their circumstances are
none too good. He is about fifty years
old.

A GROWING CONCERN
DIRECTORY JUST ISSUED INDI-
GATES THAT FARMERS TELE-
PHONE co. is FLOURISHING.

By working might and main for the
past two weeks the Herald has COM
pleted the annual directory of the
Farmers Telephone Company consist
ing of 1000 copies and containing a
complete list of all the stations served
by the company in Grant county.
The company has switchbOards at
Bagley, Beetown, Burton, Blooming
ton, Cassville, Glen Haven, Hurricane
Lancaster and Potosi. The total num-
Der of Iistings in the book is $3.50, al
though this includes some of the trunk
and toll lines and farm lines in a
number of instances that are not pat
rons of the company, but ring in on
one of its boards.
The listings run as follows: Bee
town, 1872; Burton, 142; Bloomington,
348; Bagley, $50; Potosi, 295; Cass-
Vile, $780, Glen Haven, 143; Hurri-
cane, 124; and Lancaster, SAC.
The company connects will all points
in Grant county, Dubuque, for all
points in Iowa, Prairie du Chen for
all points west, and Mineral Point for
points IN Iowa and Lafayette coun-
ties.
The directory contains quite an
amount of advertising and the medium
should be very effective, as it reaches
practically all the homes, and works
for year or more.

PLatteuiHe Auto Accident May
ProUe Fatal to Lancaster Girl

no hopes were entertained for her re-
covery.
Miss Levins is the daughter OF Mrs.
Florence Levins of this city and had
gone to Platteville for a visit about
a week before. On the evening OF the
accident she was invited for a ride
with Mrs. Elton HARDWOOD, of Platte
Vile, and her two boys, aged and
IL. The other occupants Of the car
were two young men, Clyde Wilkinson
and Virgil Stanton, the car belonging
to the latter.
None of the other members OF the
party were seriously injured. Mrs.
Harwood was knocked unconscious,
but recovered very shortly. One of
her boys received a bad cash in the
forearm. Wilkinson and Stanton were
able to come to Lancaster the same
evening in the car which received a
broken top, tenders and other breaks,
to notify the mother of the sad news.
How the affair occurred no one
seems to know. Reports OF all kinds
were rife III Lancaster and PlatteVille,
but none Of them could be verified.
The ground where the car turned
over is practically level and on good
highway. The car was coming rapid
Iy down the hill so eye witnesses state,
and the tragedy happened before they
knew it.

The latter part of his address was
taken up with preparedness and our
foreign policy. and he left his audience
feeling that this man of more than
seventy years with his emphatic man
ner and ringing address did not feel
too proud to fight" or at least main
tain the honor and dignity of America
and the old flag.

IN THE JUSTICE courts
BOUND OVER ON DOG POISONING
CHARGE SAL00NKEEPER HELD
ILLEGAL LIQUOR SELLING.

The indubitable liking of dogs for
fresh meat and bones, and a misunder-
standing Of the Wisconsin laws relat-
ing to the use Of strychnine indis-
criminately, brought Tony Ertner, a
butcher, into court last Friday, on a
charge of having exposed poisoned
meat to the Beagle hound belonging
to Everett Boyes. The dog partook
on July 16, and was soon gathered to
his fathers.
Ertner runs a chicken farm in the
east part Of town, and it is said, claims
that he was bothered beyond endur-
ance by dogs endeavoring to get at
the feed intended particularly for the
"klucks." He waived preliminary ex-
animation and gave bonds in the sum
of $3.50 to appear at the October term
of circuit court.

The laws of Wisconsin do not permit
the selling of liquor to minors under
81 years old, and on charge of hav-
ing done this, John Burns, a Hazel
Green SalOOnkeeper, was summoned
to appear in court, Friday morning.
John Piwonski, Hazel Green youth,
aged IA, is the minor alleged to have
bought intoxicating liquor from Burns
who set up the claim in court that
he had an order from the child's faith
er, authorizing him to give the child
Iiquor. Burns stated that the boy
had never, to his knowledge, drank
any of the goods sold. He also pro
duced note purpOrting to be the or
der made by Piwonski pere, and bear
ing the latter's mark as he, so Burns
claimed. is unable to write English.
On Friday evening Burns was
brought before Justice Burrows again
on a second charge of having sold liz
uor to the Piwonski boy on May 20.
Bonds were placed at $500 in each in
stance, and, temporarily Burns put up
a cash bond of $500 until he could
obtain security for the larger amount.
A case Of another nature is pend
ing against him on the docket, but
has never come to trial.
