unfortunate in setting fire before,
but this certainly was his un1ucky
day.
William Egerer had lately sold out
his share to the brothers son, Obert,
thinking to get out of the harness,
"But now he said, after the fire,
"I'll have to stay and We'll begin all
over again to build up things. It was
quite question what to do with so
much stock at night.
1t is thought the blaze started from
a spark from the engine. Wood was
being used as fuel, and this produced
many sparks. Coal is not so liable to
cause trouble.

SPRING GREEN
HOTEL IS IN
COURT AGAIN
CONTINUED from first page.)
(Frnm Tuesdays daily.)

The Spring Green hotel has been
in circuit court several times, and
has been given another hearing be-
fore Judge James O'Neill at the pres
emit term. The hotel, when owned by
c. f. Post, formerly Sank county
highway commissioner, was traded to
MRS. Scott for Texas land. A receiv-
@rship followed, and former Sheriff
william Welk of Baraboo had charge
Of the property. For a time the build
ing was empty and Mrs. Rose Hill
was induced to open the building.
After being there for time she came
to the conclusion that it was being
run at a loss and planned to close
the hostelry. She claimed that Mr..
Post induced her to remain and said
that in case of loss he would make
mp the deficit. In the meantime, the
building passed out Of the hands Of
the receiver and suit was brought
to make Mr.. Post pay. The action
resulted favorably to Mrs. Hill, as
will be seen by the special verdict be-
7nvy.

SERIOUS FIRE At
NORTH FREEDOM

Tuesday afternoon while the D. w.
Seeley threshing outfit was at work
on the Egerer brothers farm two
miles west of North Freedom, the
straw stack caught fire, blazing up
like a torch and setting fire to the
grain stacks and to the barn. AS long
as water was available a large num-
Der of men worked hard to save some
of the buildings, particularly the
house, which escaped with a good
blistering of the end toward the barn.
The barn, a large one with basement
and silo, a wagon shed, storehouse,
henhouse and some other small build
ings were burned. All their hay, 1000
bushels of grain, wheat and oats, and
two stacks of grain were also lost
One granary was saved.
It was thought at one time that
the house would surely be burned, the
heat being so intense, but it was
saved with the aid of wet carpets and
faithful work of men and boys. The
old house, too, still stands.
The wind mill was so close to the
barn that it was soon put out of
commission and water had to be car
ried from a distance. The loss is par
TALLY covered by insurance. Mr.. See
ley has run a threshing machine for a
good many years, but has never been

other fairs. These are we'll worth
seeing.

seen in the same department. With a
pen he has made beautiful drawings
of the eye and other objects, the most
elaborate piece being a booklet illus
trating Barbara Fritchie, the we'll
known Whittier poem. The work is
we'll worth inspecting.
Then there are rope halters, bas-
kets and other objects made in the
schools.
Piq With TWO Tails
In the natural history department
there it a pig with two tails. The
porker is not only favored with the
extra appendages, but has eight legs.

New York Consumers
of Milk Are Still
At Mercy of Farmers

New York. October 5.-Efforts to reach a
settlemet of the deadlock between dis
tributors and dairymen which threatens
this city with milk famine, failed late
today. when John j. Dillon, state COM
missioner of foods and markets, and the
accredited agent of the Dairymen's
league. refused for his organization to
accept the advance in price demanded by
the farmers unless contracts were made
on six months basis.
Distributors, led by the Borden Con-
densed Milk company, had agreed to pay
the As cents a 100 pounds increase in price,
upon which league managers insisted, but
with the stipulation that it should be
for the month of October only. The
added condition was imposed that an i'm
partial commission appointed by Mayor
Mitchell might investigate conditions.
Under this offer the price paid to farm
ers for Grade B milk would be $2.39 a
100 pounds.
Representatives Of the various interests
involved were in conference this after
noon, when the announcement reached
them that the Borden company had de-
cided to meet the producers demands for
a higher price. The other distributors de-
cided they would be forced to follow the
lead of the Borden company, which
handles one-ffth of the 100000 quarts
distributed in this city daily.
