REACH PUEBLO
ON AUTO TRIP
MR. AND MRS. GUY O. GLAZIER
AND SON HAVE EXPERIENCES
ON WAY TO SAN DIEGO,
CALIFORNIA
Pueblo, Colo, Nov. IA.

Pueblo, Colo, Nov. IA.
We reached here a week ago to.
day after rather a rough trip, as we
had our share of rain, mud, snow, and
rough roads, with some breakage and
delay. We visited some on the way,
stopping a day with J. A. Walker and
family at Proctor, Colo, and several
days at Fort Morgan, where we visit
ed Mark Getchel and family. Here
we also saw John E. Pinneo, Hiram
Beardsley and family, Eldie McFar-
land and family, Mr.. Warner and Mr..
ClatW0rthy, all old-time Barab0O peo-
pie. They were all looking very we'll
and even those who went west for
their health are now doing a mans
work and drawing full pay. The prin-
cipal industry along the Platt river
valley in Colorado is raising sugar
beets. We saw teams hauling them
in all directions and hundreds Of car
loads of beets piled up at the fac
tories and along the railroad tracks,
awaiting shipment While coming be-
tween Denver and Colorado Springs
we ran for two hours through blind
iog snowstorm, then, as we came
down off the continental divide into
a little lower altitude we ran out into
bright sunshine. Last Friday we
drove twelve miles north of Pueblo,
where l visited a series of beaver
dams on the Fountain river 1t is a
rather unusual sight to see beavers in
a place where human habitations are
near, but in Colorado they are pro-
tected and here they are getting both
numerous and bold. There are prob
ably hundred in this colony. One
dam, of which I took a picture, is
about three feet high. There were
four dams, but here they do not build
very many houses q saw only one)
preferring to live in holes in the bank.
AS we stood above a dam looking
down into the clear water, one old fell
low came out of a hole, made few
circles around, as if he were very
busy, and then, seeing us, he made
a quick getaway, but we had a good
view of him, just the same. saw
where they had cut down cottonwood
trees as large as sixteen inches in di-
ameter. I have some beaver chips
which l will send you.
We are now visiting Mrs. G1aZier's
parents here at Pueblo and enjoying
a four-inch snow and below zero
weather. We shall continue our jour
ney when the weather lets up. Yes
terday morning I shot a nice big jack
rabbit and two cottontails.
Very sincerely
GUY 0. GLAZIER.

Want to Know Station

At one station just outside the city
-caper is not sure which one-they
placed their revolvers to his head.
What stop is this?" they demand
ed.
"Clybourn," said Caper.
1t wasn't, but the bandits evidently
didn't know the difference. They be-
came suspicious, however, and asked
again:
where is Clybourn?"
''Well, it's in the city limits" said
Caper.
When the train finally slowed up
for the stop at Clybourn, one of the
robbers said:
"Now listen. Well kill you if you
yell or try to get help"
A moment later they dropped off
by the side door of the car.
Caper managed to work himself
loose and notified Conductor P. +.
Doolin of the robbery as the train was
pulling into the terminal.

Surprise the Messenger

A few minutes after the train pass
ed through Darlington, at 5:53, the
express messenger, named w. E. Ca
per was carrying a sack of flour
across his car when the rear end door
was opened and two men entered.
They wore stocking caps, the mes.
senger thinks, over their eyes. The
rest of their faces were covered with

Gagged with Handkerchief

After tying Caper in the chair the
robbers bound several handkerchiefs
about his head, covering his face COM
pletely. Then they took his keys from
his pocket and opened the safe.
Seated before it on the floor of the
car, they went through the contents
carefully, throwing aside everything
except the money envelopes. These
they rifled and thrust the contents in
their pockets.
Having finished their work, they
turned their attention again to Caper.
Twice they threatened to kill him if
he did not give them all the inforn6a-
tion they wanted.

ADDRESS ON LAW
MAKING IN MADISON
Lieutenant Governor E. F. Dithmar
Speaks Before Members of
FOrtnightly Club

Law Making in Wisconsin" was
the subject of an address by Lieuten-
ant Governor e. f. Dithmar on Friday
evening before the members and
friends of the Fortnightly Literary
club at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. II.
Pfanrstiehl. Many of the members
really did not know the difficulties
that a measure encounters in order
to become a law. The steps necessary
were fully explained by the presiding
officer of the senate and fully appre-
ciated by the members.
A bill is first drafted, usually in the
reference library, presented, goes to
a committee, often amended a num-
ber of times, passed to the other
house, where it goes through the same
process, and after fully completed pro-
ceeds to the governor for his sigma
ture. If vetoed it must then go back
for another vote if to be passed over
the executives Veto All the way
along the measure often has ardent
supporters and just as often violent
opposition.
Length of Term Absurd
Mr.. Dithmar said the length Of the
term was absurd In other states the
terms are much shorter. The length
of the term is due to the great num-
ber of bills and the slowness in sift-
done in comnGittees-sta COM
mittees. Before the speaker of the
house is elected he often promises i'm
portant places to many persons, and
when the list is at last made, often
there are many disappointments.
The Hearings
The hearings are interesting. This
is when the measure is open for dis
cussion before the committee and ev-
eryone who so desires may have some
thing to say for or against it. Years
ago the lobbyists were much more nu-
merous and active than at present.
Even today some of the big interests
have almost as many lobbyists on the,
ground as there are members of the
IegisIature-133.
Right to Pair
The right to pair is one of the
abuses Often members desire to be
away when the roll is called on GER
tain bills and in order to be absent a
pair is made. Sometimes the pairs
are so numerous as to block legisla-
ton.
Among the big lobbyists are the
liquor interests, insurance companies,
railroads, water powers and others.
Often men are selected for the legis-
lature in a community long before the
primary is held. If the interests are
fortunate in getting their man into
power, so much the better for those
who desire protective measures. Many
in both houses fall in with the lobby
lists, and for that reason they are able
to retain their power in the legislat-
i've body Often the big interests are
linked together so that it is difficult
to break their power.
A Great Hardship
The adjourning of the legislature
from time to time, from week to week,
is a great hardship on the members
who live too far away to go to their
homes during the short recesses. ALI
they can do is to walk the streets of
Madison from month to month as the
session drags wearily along.
The address was followed with the
usual round table discussion.
The next meeting will be with Rev.
and Mrs E. c. Henke at the Presby-
terian manse.

a revolver.
They ordered him to throw up his
hands, Immediately took away his re-
volver, which was in his pocket, and
then demanded from him his gun. He
told them they had the only gun he
possessed.

ANNUAL MEETING
HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Charles L. Harper, chief clerk in
the department of public instruction
at Madison, gave the address at the
annual meeting of the Sauk County
Historical society on Monday night in
the courthouse. Mr.. Harper came to
Grant county one month before Wis
consin became state, and has been
active in Badger affairs ever since.
He spoke especially of the lead re-
gion-Grant county and the contigu-
Gus territory That was distinctive
portion of the state. He says to him
his coming to Badgerdom does not
seem SO very long ago. If there were
sixty persons who had lived a century
each and if one had been born as an
other had died in continuous success
sion, the chain would extend back to
Adam.
Travel Limited
Travel in the last part of the first
half of the past century was on horse
back or on foot. The burning of the
long prairie grass was source of
excitement to the younger persons,
and the wonder to Mr. Harper was
where the seed Of the oaks, quaken-
asps and other trees came from when
the fires were no longer permitted.
Perhaps the wild pigeons were re-
sponsible. One hunter at one shot
killed AZ of them. Where are they
now? Mr.. Harper recalled seeing the
last flock in 1878 The ladyslippers,
too, are gone with many other wild
flowers. He once saw 200 birds in
flock Of prairie chickens. Not one is
left.
Everybody Was Everybody
AS to society, everybody was ev-
erybody. All were welcome. The old
country church is no more-the auto
has driven it out The speaker told
of the Irish and other settlers who
came to carve a home in the west,
of the riches in ore, of the gamblers,
of Vinegar Hill, of Snake Hollow, Bee
town, Nip and Tuck, Hill of the Dead,
schools and other phases of that early
day He ran over list of the early
names Of that region, not forgetting
James G. Percival the poet and ge-
ologist. This finely educated and cul-
tivated man was far from his native
environment.
Reports Made
Secretary H. K. Page made his an
nual report, telling OF the meetings
Of the past year. A mention Of the
deaths of Hon. J. S. Tripp, Prairie du
Sac; w. w. Warner, Madison; and e.
G. Marriott, all members, was includ-
ed. Letters from members Of the
families were also presented.
Mrs e. v. Alexander, the treasur-
er, reported $7407 on hand.
The following officers were elected:
Presidential E. Cole.
e-presidents-M J. G. Train
and E. D. Ochsner.
Secretary-H. K. Page.
Treasurer-Mrs. E. V. Alexander.
Mrs. Al. Ringing and Mrs. A. M.
Todd became members.

Robbers Bold in Work

The robbery was as methodical as
it was bold. The train, which left
Elroy at 1905 a. NJ, and Baraboo at
1920, is a comparatively slow one,
stopping at every station. At most of
these express packages had been de-
livered or taken on, and for this rea-
son the read door of the express car
had been left unlocked.
