OSCAR ROWLEY GETS
Is YEARS SENTENCE
Lafayette County Miner Taken
To Waupun Prison.
Defendant Pleaded Guilty and ReceiV-
ed Sentence Here Last Friday
Evening" Pitiful Affair.

Judge CIementsOn performed an UNI
pleasant but necessary duty last Fri
day evening when he sentenced Oscar
RowIey Of Leadmine, near New Dig
gings, to eighteen years at hard labor
in Waupun. Rowley, accompanied by
a deputy sheriff, and his attorney, E..
G. Fielder of Mineral Point and the
prosecuting attorney for Lafayette
county, G. f. Mcdaniel, came to Lam
caster on the Friday evening train.
Rowley's father, aged so, and his two
brothers, were also in the party.
Rowley was sentenced for the crime
of numbering his wife at his home in
New Diggings on December Il, last.
1t seems that he had been on a
drinking spree for about two weeks
and on the night of the tragedy he re-
turned home about $3.50 in an intoxi-
Gated condition. Early the next morn
ing the oldest boy, who is about 16,
heard a noise and went to his parents
bedroom and as he got on the thresh-
hold of the door he heard a report and
going inside found his mother III dy-
ing condition.
Mrs. ROwley lived two days after
the affair, making a statement fOrgiy-
ing her husband. ROwley admits that
he was drunk at the time, but says he
had no knowledge of any shooting
until he heard the report. He is said
to be a good fellow when not intoxi-
Gated and comes of good people. His
wife was known as an excellent wo-
man, and they had nice family. Row
ley it is said had had some bad trouble
depressing him that caused him to go
on the continued sprees. He seems to
feel terribly over the affair and will
ing to take his medicine.
In administering the sentence Judge
CIementsOn expressed great sympathy
for ROwIey and his family and also his
conviction that perhaps he was too in
toxicated to know what he was doing.
He said, however, that drunkenness
could not be taken as an excuse for
crime and that he must inflict punish
ment as the case demanded. ROwley
pleaded guilty to second degree muir
der and received the sentence named
above.
He leaves a daughter aged Is, and
two sons, aged 16 and II. ROwley was
taken to Waupun Saturday to begin
serving his sentence. By good behav-
iOr he may be paroled at the expiration
of half his time.

LANCASTER DEFEATS FAST
DARLINGTON TEAM

Lancaster defeated the Darlington
basketball team at that city Friday
night in a fast, we'll played game. The
first half ended 1916, and the game,
41-24. Although very much smaller
than their husky opponents, the locals
offset this disadvantage by their speed
and team work, and outplayed Darl-
ington in every department Of the
game from the start, Some Of the
Darlington fans declared Lancasters
team work the best they had ever seen
on their floor. There certainly was
great change in the playing of the 10
Gals in Fridays game, compared with
that in the Platteville game.
ONeil played the best game for
Darlington, scoring eight points from
the field and making ten free throws
out twelve attempts.
Capt Edwards of the locals scored
three field goals, and Oyer seven. The
latter played an excellent game in
every way. The referring was good,
and the treatment given the visitors
was excellent.
Fennimore plays here tonight, and
after the showing made Friday, the To-
Gals expect to defeat Sanaster's team.
This game will undoubtedly be fast
one ond one of the best this season,
so don't fail to attend. The score:
Lancaster-Oyer. If; Dyer, IF;
Blackburn, c; Angus, re-; Edwards,
lg.
Nelson, C; Mcconnell, rg; Macken lg.
Goals from field: Oper z: Edwards,
8; Dyer 8; Blackburn 1 Angus 1.
O'NeiI 4; Swift 2; Nelson 1.
Free throws: O'Neil, 1O-Out Of II.
Blackburn, 1-out of 8. Angus, tried
one.

MODERN WOODMEN BALL
A HUGE SUCCESS

Two hundred couples at Knapp's
rink last Thursday evening would be
a conservative estimate and the merry
dancers glided over the floor to the
good music furnished by the ball man
agement, and enjoyed themselves
thu Jughly.
The M. w. A dance is an annual
event and always looked forward to
with a good deal of pleasant antici-
patton. This time was right up to the
standard and the extra large gather
ing had an extremely pleasant evening,
The management feel we'll satisfied
over the results, as besides the regu-
lar Woodman crowd which was pres
ent in large numbers, there were 125
paid omissions.

Thanks 10 DIR. Copenhaver, Mrs. a
u. LitZ. and MIR. Arrowood.

Owing to Mr.. Brown and his "Sun-
day School Pullman" being out of
commission, the Secretary was "up
against it," as we say, to find trans
portation for delegates and visitors
to the Convention. But it proved to
be an easy job. DIR. Copcnhavcr and
Mrs. a. Il. Litz said, "Yes, when do
you want it?" Mr. Arrowood met
Secretary Diggs ut the train, and so
all went well. Owing to the train be-
mg late, and IL slight misunderstand-
ing, two lady delegates were missed
ut the depot, and had to hire u pri-
vate conveyance. If they, us did
others. had reported to the Secretary
ut the News Office, all would have
been well. On behalf of the Associa-
tion and all parties concerned, thanks
and apprcciations are hereby express
t. the good folks for the use of their
cars, and also the appreciation of the
Secretary personally.

w. p. Payne was successful law
yer and business man, vigorous and
enthusiastic, and gave promise of a
long life. He was popular, and exert
ed an influence in his community, and
in West Virginia, where he practised
law, and had many friends and ad-
mirers. He leaves a large and valu-
able estate in this section. A year or
more ago he left his farm and home

handsome and commodious residence
in this town, in which he resided with
his family, ut the time of his death.
He, like all of us, had his falings,
shortcomings, and weaknesses. At u
time like this we minimize faults and
magnify virtues. He had many fine
traits of character, and will be missed
not only by his family, but by many
friends and acquaintance in this see
tion of the state, and in West Vir-
