Unable wife of DR.. F. E. Colony.
While her health had been failing since
her mothers death in November, 1914,

Tom Mullen had the misfortune to
fall on the icy walk in front of the
Hampstead building on Saturday night
and break his leg just above the ankle.
Two aged people are dead in Pleasant
Springs township. They are Mr.. and
Mrs. Nels HOMELAND, aged 70 and rs.
They passed away within two days of
each other.
Nels Thorstad is home from the Mad
ison gener hospital where he has been
a patient of DIR. Jackson for nearly two
weeks, sufferer from virulent blood
poisoning. He returns to the city ev-
cry few days to have his hand dressed.
Mr.. l. o. Brictson, who recently died
in Mexico, was born in Sogn, Norway,
in 1850, and came to this country with
his parents when II years of age. In
1875 he was united in marriage to Miss
Ingeborg Davidson Rogue and soon
after bought farm in the town OF Al
bion, where he made his home until
1881, and although he conducted the
farm he also taught school winters. In
1881 he bought his father s-in-law farm
Reque, and little later also the go
acre farm owned by Mr.. Rogue near
the Hauge cemetery. He moved onto
the Reque farm that spring. In 1886
he built a large brick tobacco ware
house and few years later his resi-
dence and moved here. He soon be-
came the Wisconsin representative. of
the Rosenwald company of New York,
and they did large and profitable bus
mess. About 16 years ago he, with a
Mr. Joyce. then banker in Stoughton,
was induced to purchase the big Next
can ranch of over million acres, where
he died. 1t appeared later that his
partner did not have sufficient funds to
take his share and Mr.. Brictson had to
assume the whole responsibility alone.
The Mexican of whom he bought the
land brought suit to get it back and
this was moved up and down the Next
can courts for at least ten years. Later
the war started and imperiled both
property and human life. The ranch
has 26 Mexican villages on it, and there
are some thousands of cattle, also
horses, mules and asses. There is also
much valuable timber awaiting trans
portation, and also good oil prospects.
Mr.. Brictson, when living here, while
he never sought high Office, was active
in local public affairs, holding office
several times in the township as well
as in the village. He is survived by his
widow, three daughters and two sons,
and two grandchildren. The children
are Mrs. J. Guam of this place, Mrs.
J. I. Suby of Stoughton, Mrs. L. A.
Anderson of Edgerton, and Lewis and
Otto who were with him in Mexico.

Experiments made at the Bell Rock

Scottish coast, have shown that, while
the force of breakers in the German

Atlantic breakers fall with a weight
of about three tons to the square foot.

PLAYING THE RACES
With STOLEN MONEY.
Bills Taken in Central Sta,
ton Holdups Appear at
Juarez Race Track.

II became known here today that
the arrest OF John Harris in Texas
for completely. in the robbery of an
express train on the main lines of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Central
Station is but the first Of series
which the authorities expect to make
in connection with this case.
Harris was tralled from Little Rock
and St Louis to San Antonio and the
United States secret service men after
two or three months of sleuthing dis,
covered the plac in that town where
the robbers had q rubber stamp made
with which they stamped the bills.
Following this clue they picked up
Harris.
Z Other! n'uadeT surveillance are be-
ing watched and other arrests are
expected at any, moment now. 1t is
the general opinion that the men are
playing the races at Juarez, Mexico,
as money in that Esection has turned
up almost every day in large quanti-
ties, and tectiyess are working from
the sector in Texas that most Of the
