CARRIAGE CONCERN LOSES CASE.

A jury which considered the matter
from $50 until 500 p. m. last Friday
found in favor of the defendant in the
suit brought by the Durant-DOrt Car
riage company, a Detroit, Mich, con-
Germ against Martin & BenOy, BOscObel
blacksmiths. The plaintiff alleged
that certain goods purchased Of them
by the Boscobel people had not been
paid for although a salesman's receipt
showed payment made Martin & Ben
oy claimed that they had settled with
the salesman in this manner.
A deposition made by the treasurer
Of the Detroit concern was read in
which he made the statement that it
was not customary for their statesmen
to make receipts in this manner. He
said also that the only case Where he
6new they had done so was in the
Martin & Benoy matter and while the
attorneys, Blaine e Kemp, claimed
this statement was an error, it never
theIess probably broke the case in two.
The amount sued for was $14067
with interest from 1914 to date.

JURY UNABLE TO AGREE
IN FARM SALE CASE
BARTLETT VS.. DOYLE COMMISSION
CASE PROVES KNOTTY PROB
LEM.-OUT ALL NIGHT.

That Bartlett VS.. Doyle Wrangle prov
ed to be unsolvable for twelve jurymen
who went out last Wednesday after
noon at o'clock, and, after debating
the case all night, came back the next
morning at $40 with disagreement.
Garrett Doyle is retired farmer
living at Dubuque who up to year
or so ago resided on 240 acre farm
west of Hazel Green. Doyle wanted
to sell his place and had some CONVEX
sation with G.. H. Bartlett, Cuba City
real estate man, about the matter.
Bartlett subsequently claimed that
Doyle had given him the right to sell
the place from July 81, 1914 to Janu-
airy 1, 1915 and all over $95 an acre
was to go to him as commission.
Bartlett didn't sell the farm, but S.
S. Smalley of Cuba City did, in Sep
TENDER, 1914. Right then and there
commenced the dispute, which was
tried first year ago and resulted in
Doyle's favor. The case went to the
supreme court, where a new trail was
ordered.
bdTCIGCC ADMITTED, through his dCCOI-
neys, Kopp & Brunckhorst, that he did
not negotiate the sale nor did he claim
that he brought the parties together.
He did claim, and produced a witness
to substantiate him, that Doyle had
given him an exclusive right during
the period in which the farm was Sold
AS the land went for 500 an acre,
Bartlett asked for $1,000 commission.
Doyle couldn't see the joke, and re-
fused to cough up"
They went to law about it, and part
of last Tuesday afternoon and nearly
all day Wednesday their attorneys
produced witnesses and argued the
matter. But the jury disagreed, stand
ing, it is said, and 6.

BRAKEMAN ON n. w.
KILLED AT MONTFORT.

James Classy, aged Fl years, of
Reedsburg, brakeman on the North
Western road, met his death at
MOntfOrt Monday afternoon about
$3.50 O'clock.
The train crew was engaged in
switching ON the way freight which
is due to arrive at Lancaster in
the evening. The last seen of
Classy the young man was on top
of the train. A few minutes later
the crew were Mortified to find the
body ON the tracks, terribly mangl-
ed.
No explanation can be made Of
the accident. 1t is thought the
high winds may have caused Gas
sey to lose his balance and fall be-
tween the cars. The body was
taken to Reedsburg yesterday for
burial.

CITY WATER ALL RIGHT BUT
oh, YOU ASPHALTUM

The peculiar taste to the city water
which at first reminded one of carbolic
acid and made at least one anxious
housewife ready to swear that the tap
in the yard had been loaded with the
deadly stuff by some miscreant, was
later ascertained to be caused from a
combination of asphaltum and ashes
tos. The asbestos didn't affect the
taste but the asphaltum did The ex-
PLANTATION follows:
AS everyone knows water superin-
tendent, Geo. Mccarthy, has been en-
gagged in making repairs on the stand
pipe. Mr.. Mccarthy found the inside
of the pipe to be badly pitted in many
places and as a remedy used a COM
pound for coating up the holes COM
posed of the above ingredients. Be-
fore doing SO the city authorities call
ed the State Hygienic Laboratories at
Madison where the experts felt sure
the mixture would do no harm. 1t was
then used only where necessary to
preserve the pipe, and the chances are
that in day or two it will be I'M
noticeable.
The uDshot of the proposition is that
it will cost about $4,000 to replace
the pipe with new one. This will
have to be done eventually but as
the city is already carrying a heavy
load from other sources an effort will
be made to get along with the old pipe
for while. In the meantime just
pretend it tastes like good old Klon-
dixie.

GET ONE AND TWO YEARS
FOR STEALING MOTORBOAT'

Henry Otto Haskell and John Bell,
the two worthless who "copped" a mo-
torDoat last summer from a Gutten-
berg, Iowa, man and were arrested at
Cassville, pleaded guilty to the charge
last Tuesday afternoon.
Judge Clementson sentenced Bell
to serve one year at Green Bay, and
gave Haskell two years in the same
refOrmatOry.
The men have been rather obstrep-
erous customers since their residence
at the Hotel Heil-an attempted Jail
delivery and ugliness of various kinds
no doubt making the sheriff feel glad
they are going.

FINES ANT'C TO $500
PLEAD GUILTY TO THREE COUNTS
Two OF ILLEGAL SALES AND
ONE OF ASSAULT.

different counts. He paid 500 and
costs on one count and $50 and costs
on the other count.
One, a charge of assault, Burns paid
$50 and costs, pleading guilty again.

LATE FAYETTEVILLE ITEMS.

Especial to Grant County Herald)
Miss Beatrice Foster Of MacOmb, ILL.,,
and resident of Platteville four years
ago, when she acted as assistant Ii
brarian, was burned to death at Madi-
son, Monday noon Miss Foster was
attending the University of Wisconsin
as Junior.
Miss Foster lived at 1874 West Cor
ham street where her landlady was
called to her room by screams. The
unfortunate girl had dropped match
on her fiimsy kimona, SO she said, and
her clothing was a mass of flames
when aid came.
She died in the hospital one hour
later Her parents living at MacOmb,
came Tuesday for the body.
The fire department was called out
Monday evening to extinguish a minor
blaze in a dwelling in the north part
of town. No great damage was done.
An effort will be made, it is said to
pass the Superior" ordinance through
the city council. This ordinance reg
ulates the sale of liquor from other
towns to residents in dry territory.
The Platteville brewery, which main
tains a station at Ipswich, may also
be regulated in the same ordinance.

ton.
Many questions have been raised
bv the banks through which the
checks were sent for collection. IN
practically all instances, the league
has taken the matter up direct with
the truant member; III some IN
stances they have succeeded IN tore
ing collections; in other instances it
has been a case OF sending good
money after bad.
"The Fran" Edition.
AS an evidence OF the fact that
recent contributions by the anti
league press have been effective, is
indicated through the purchase by the
league of 10000 copies of The Fran
of Fargo. The paper contains a leng-
thy article on the work of the league,
and seeks to Offset the effect OF other
articles that have dealt at length with
he socialist tendencies of the league;
with its method Of doing business,
etc. B.
That the league found themselves
up against a situation OF more or less
seriousness with respect to the at
lacks made against them is quite
evident from the efforts they are max
ing to counterfeit such effect.
Auxiliary and Other Memberships.
Auxiliary memberships, a recently
instituted feature of the league, are
obtained from merchants in small
towns, to a large extent. The mer-
chant. visited by an organizer and
four or five enthusiastic local mem
bers, is readily induced to enter the
league-probably the league members
are his customers, and he sees way
open to cement his business rela-
lions more firmly by associating with
the league-at least, TO the extent OF
SO.
Just how critical the campaign for
new members. is, is revealed by &C
counts of meetings conducted in vari-
Gus localities by the league organic
ers. A page of 1.-THE Leader the
leagues official organ, is given over

the new members added. The cur

such statements anent various meet

ing auxiliary
"Three new members were secur.

"One auxiliary member also join

When it comes to enumerating sin.

fact that the membership proposition
has assumed quite important fea-
lures.

The prospective nomination of a

assumed alarming proportions.
Organized, as they are. in commun-

find themselves confronted with Bur
