SOAK wooDMEN FOR DAMAGE
Minister is Awarded SIG. 500 for Def
amation of Character

About two years ago now, it win be
remembered, one Alfred H. Morse. a
retired Methodist minister of Rushford,
lectured in Viroqua, as he did in hum
dreds of other places, against the in
crease in rates sought by tie head Of
ficers of the Woodman society to force
upon its members. From one end of
the country to the other protest was
strong and insurgency against the i'm
position became so pronounced that a
majority CO delegates opposed to the
rate we're elected to the head camp,
preventing b e proposed increase.
Morse vas assailed personally and sued
the order for defamation of character
in the sum of $50, 900 The case was
recently tried before Judge Higbee at
Lacrosse. The suit hinged on the
question whether officers of the head
camp caused circulation of the circulars
which personally assailed the character
of Morse. The jury held that fact and
assessed his damage at Sl9, 500 In the
evidence given it developed that head
camp officers used million dollars of
lodge funds in their efforts to enforce
a raise in rates that would have had
the effect of disrupting the Woodman
order. Thus it will be seen to what
extremes those long in authority viii
resort to carry their schemes.

AWFUL FATE OF IITTLE GIRL
Falls From Hay Now and Loses Life
Near Retreat

A news dispatch tells of cruel fate
that came while playing in the hay
NOW of her grandfather's barn We'd
nesdsy last, to the three year-old grand
daughter Of F. E. Rutter, residing a
few miles from Retreat. She lost her
footing in the slippery hay and fell to
the floor far below. Conclusion of the
brain was caused, and the child never
regained consciousness.
The little girl had followed her
grandfather on his evening chores
and when he went to the barn, he
thought she was playing in the yard.
She vas fascinated by the high hay
NOV and climbed up the barn ladder.
Her grandfather heard her glad cry as
she bounced up and down on the hay.
A moment later she fell and he picked
her up unconscious. The child was the
daughter of Mrs. Allen Rutter. Her
father was killed by gun shot wound
while hunting coon about two and a
half years ago.

aids in the work Another way that
the days could be made an occasion of
enjoyment for the people of the county
would be to make picnic parties of the
various crews on the road. The wives
