In speaking of Thanksgiving under
the present conditions the settlers on
the Salmon have reasons to be thank

we're held in Berger last week and

The crew in charge of unloading con-

MOlDENHAUER & SONS
STORE ROBB D BY GUNMEN
Seven Masked Men Enter Building
and Force PrOprietOrs to Give
Up Their Cash.
GET AWAY WITH $3.50 IN MONEY

Last week Wednesday about mid
night, seven masked robbers broke
into the store of H. Moldenhauer &
Son at Lebanon in this county. The
rooms of H. Moldenhauer and family
in the same building were first ran
sacked. The robbers first held their
revolvers at Mr.. Moldenhauer's head
and made his wife give up their money
and jewels. They then forced Mr..
Moldenhauer to open the store safe,
securing in all about $3.50 in money
and Mrs. Moldenhauers watch and
CHAIN. After getting the plumber, the
robbers locked the family in their
rooms where they remained until
morning. The burglars then took a
team and sleigh from the barn and
decamped. The horses were found
on the following morning two miles
north of Watertown, where they had
fallen by the roadside Mrs Modem
hauer will be remembered by very
many of our citizens as Miss Barbara
Monkey. Mr.. and Mrs. Will Monkey
went to Lebanon after the robbery
and his sister and two children have
returned, her with them and will re-
main until after they have recovered
from the fright"
The above item appeared in the
Beaver Dam Argus thirty years ago,
and when Mr.. Moldenhauer gave it
to the Leader he told in detail all the
thrilling incidents of that eventful
night.
AS will be noted Mr.. Moldenhauer
was in business at that early date.
He is now local agent for the Water
town Mutual Fire Insurance company
and wholesale dealer in cheese He
has a fine business office, one Of the
best in the city,-and best of all he
owns the building and can stay as
long as he pleases.

MANY ACCIDENTS.
Icy Condition of the Streets Cause of
Broken Bones and Other Injuries.


The icy conditions of the streets
during the past week have been the
cause of many painful accidents, and
some have suffered broken bones
Mrs Carl Hoefs, Center street, had
the misfortune to fall and break her
leg.
Miss Viola Koenig, 700 Second street
is also the victim of a fall resulting
in broken leg.
Oscar Beisner, 207 Lynn street, fell
on the ice at the corner of North Sec
ond and Lynn streets, Saturday even
ing, when returning from work, and
broke his leg.
Mrs. Catherine Pimpl had the mis-
fortune Friday morning to fall on an
icy sidewalk at the corner of North
Second and Cole street, in such man
ner which caused the fracture of her
left wrist.
Frank Ebert, 314 North Water
street, fell and broke his arm. The
accident occurred last Thursday.
Patrolman Michael Bolger fell on
an icy walk in West Milwaukee street,
Thursday night, striking his head and
rendering him unconscious for a few
minutes. To his surprise he had an
ugly cash in his scalp which required
several stitches to close the wound.
After having his wound dressed Mike
continued on his beat.

SEVEN CITIZENS
CITED TO APPEAR
WILLIAM G. CODY STARTS ACTION
IN CIVIL BRANCH OF CIR
CUT COURT.
Newspaper Men Have Known of Con-
templated Action Since Last
November.

One of the sensations of the past
week was the serving of notice on
seven of our citizens by William G.
Cody as plaintiff, to appear in the civil
branch of the circuit court, but the
service did not state what charge was
preferred against the plaintiffs.
Those against whom the summons
was directed are:
G. Gahlman,
A. H. Hartwig,
Charles A. Vaughn,
Frank Petro,
j. p. Holland,
E. j. Schoolcraft,
]. w. Cruger.
That the action was coming was no
secret to the newspaper men of Wa
tertown. On November 23 Mr.. Cody
came to the Leader Office and in
formed the editor that prosecution
would be instituted against the men
who instituted insanity proceedings
against him, and against the Daily
Times owners and also against the
Watertown Weltbuerger.
The Leader did not feel justified in
using the information as a news item
until some action had been taken in
the case, and the wisdom of our act
has been borne out when the lateness
of filing the charges is taken into con-
sideration.
The editor of the Watertown Ga
zette was given the item to run in his
paper on January 13, and he also re-
fused to use it as a matter of news un-
til some real action was taken.
The summons served on the gentle
men named above does not in any way
give hint as to what the charges will
be, but in a conversation with Mr..
Cody on the street last Friday, in the
presence of two other gentlemen, he
informed the Leader that the specific
charges would be conspiracy to do
him great harm in the institution of
the insanity proceedings, and in the
publication of articles in the Times
which would hold him up to the ridi-
cule of his friends.
When Mr.. Cody talked with the
Leader last November he said that he
expected the total of damages he
would ask woul be considerable sum,
and that Mr.. Bouge, ex-district at
torney of Columbia county, would be
retained to prosecute the cases.
In his conversation with Mr.. Moore
of the Gazette this month he is alleged
to have told that gentleman that the
amount asked in damages would be
$25 900.

The Oldest person to die during the
year was SO years of age.
The total number of marriages was
100.
The above figures were furnished to
the Leader by DR.. F. G. Haney, COM
| missioner of health, and are an inter
esting table of figures to read.
The doctor says that apparently not
all birth and marriage certificates
have been filed.
While talking on this subject Dr.
Haney gave the Leader some facts in
regard to the filing of marriage GER
tificates which might be of general in
terest. He said that the mistaken idea
was prevalent that the marriage cere-
mony constituted a legal marriage.
This is not the case A marriage is
legal only in the eyes of the law after
the marrying pastor has filed his GER
tificate, and it is made a matter of
record. In other words, the law is
such that the state is the only place
where the legality of the ceremony
can be established, and church rec
ords are of no legal value in case in
years to come the rightful heirs of
parents would try to establish claim
| to property, or where other matters of
court record are involved.
No matter how good a record may
| be kept in church, the legal record
| is kept in three places-the local
commissioners Office, in the office Of
the register of deeds at Jefferson and
in the office of the state board Of
health at Madison.

Under the head, Hand Picked" the
Milwaukee Sentinel says:
LAS the result of an interview with
Senator LaFollette, Otto Bosshard an
nounces himself as a candidate for
governor"
Such was the brief message sent out
from the city of Mr.. Bosshards resi-
dence. In other words, our senator,
before leaving the state for Washing
ton, availed himself of brief respite
in Madison to nominate a candidate
for governor.
How good and thoughtful on the
part of our busy and overworked SEN
ator to think of it,
But it is to be remembered that our
senator is no novice. He has become
accustomed to this sort of thing and
it is nothing when one gets used to it.
Picking out candidates for the people
to support is much easier for the SEN
ator than supporting candidates the
people pick out. The senator believes
in hand picked candidates, but he
claims the right to do the picking; and
so it happens that Bosshard it 1t.
This means that later in the season
the La Crosse statesman is going to
campaign to capture the nomination
for governor at the hands of the re-
publican party.
Let us imagine that some inquisi-
tive republican squeezes his way into
a hall packed to hear the eloquent
candidate and obtains permission to
ask few questions; what would our
readers think of the following cat
echism:
"Mr. Bosshard, you claim to be a
republican,"
Il do sir"
You are appealing to the republi-
cans of the state to nominate you for
GOVERNOR"
''I am sir
did you spport the republican tick
ct in the last national campaign?"
Il did not, sir"
did you support the republican
ticket in the last state campaign ?"
Il did not sir"
did you spport and vote for a boil.
