Found a BeefTree.

Found a BeeFTree.
Half way down the mountain we
found a bee tree. We worked over it
'ong enough to get well stung, and
have darkness threaten US, when we
decided to report the find to our
friends at the Base Station. A little
alter. wet and cold, we knocked at
the door of the Mount Washington
Railroad boarding house. One of the
fair sex answered our summons, and
out of the kindness of her heart pro-
vided us with shelter for the night.
Next morning we ate breakfast, paid
our bills, thanked our hostess for her
hospitality, and set out for Fabyans,
and the train for home.
The next night, as we lay in bed
letting our memories run back over
our late experiences, we decided that
possibly other boys might like to hear
Of our adventures. Therefore these
lines, and my final word to you is, if
you ever want to- have a real good
time, just roll up your blanket and
strike, out for Mount Washington. ~

LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR mrs. KENNlST0N.

while it was possible to give the max
imum penalty of seven years, he
would sentence him to not not more
than three nor less than two years
at hard labor in the state prison at
Windsor.
After Kerwin had received his SEN
tence States Attorney James B.
Campbell requested the court that
immediate sentence be imposed upon
Mrs. Remission. The sentence had
no visible effect upon the convicted
woman, but her husband sitting near
her through the final proceedings was
on the verge Of tears. Shortly after
wards the two left the court room
hand in hand.

Move Verdict Be Set Aside.

Attorney Porter after court con-
vened made motion that the verdict
be set aside in the case of his client
The motion was over-ruled and an
exception allowed. The motion was
made on five grounds, first that the
verdict is contrary to the evidence;
second, that the verdict is contrary
to the weight of the evidence; third,
because the evidence is entirely bar
rem of any proof of intent to kill on
the part of the respondent; fourth,
because there is no evidence of any
malice aforethought; fifth. because
there is no evidence of the corpus
delecti except the confession of the
respondent.
The case will be taken to the SUI
preme court on exceptions.

Leniency Shown Kerwn.

In sentencing John kerwin for his
share in disposing of the body of
Alice Bradshaw, Judge Fish stated
that the court had had an opportun-
ity to become acquainted with the
relations of the respondent with the
case. He. further said. because the
court, or some of its members had
known Kerwin for number of years
that perhaps the court understood
more fully than was usually the case.
The judge went on to say that from
the evidence Kerwin seemed to be
under the dominion of a stronger
character and with that in view

Refuse Change of Venue.

Attorney Dunnett's application that
the trial of his client Mrs. Eta May
Hicks take place somewhere other
than Caledonia county was denied.
In making his decision Judge Fish
said he knew that the situation had
been changed somewhat since the
Remission trial to what it was when
the former application for change of
venue was made. But he went on to
say that whatever had taken place in
court had not been set forth in the
local papers except in a quiet way and
that it was doubtful if the people of
the county had any more knowledge
or prejudice in the case than before
The Judge went on to say that he al
most felt that if the feeling here was
so widespread that the jury might
have brought in a verdict in the first
degree but that by bringing in a sec
ond degree verdict the jury showed
lack of passion or prejudice. There
fore, continued Judge Fish, the court
thinks the case could be heard here
fairly and impartially. He reminded
that the motion might be reserved
for any other judge who might be in
the chair at further time.

Not Admitted to Bail.

Not Admitted 10 BAH.
Attorney Dunnett in his request
that his client be admitted to bail on
the ground that she would be forced
to wait for trial in Jail until possibly
December, said it was thought rela-
tives would furnish any reasonable
amount as surety for his clients ap-
pearance when wanted. Attorney
General Barber argued that the eff
feet on the community in case of
it's kind would be bad if; the respond
ent, Mrs. Hicks, was allowed her lib
erty on bail.
Judge Fish in denying bail to the
accused woman concurred with At
terney General Barber that the effect
might be bad and that the respondent
would be entitled to trial in the reg
ular course of events with as little de-
lay as possible and he couldn't say
it would be upduly delayed if it did
not come up until the sDecem Der
term of county court. Attorney Dun
nett in reply to: the courts query said
his client would like to, be tried be-
fore the regular term of court. Judge
Fish replied that it might be possible
for some judge to be here before that
time. Court adjourned at 11:15.

the boys of Kenosha to Join this
nationwide movement and get them
selves into condition to meet any
emergency which may arise in the de-
mand for the defense of the nation.

fore the Board of Education at it's
next regular meeting and it is improb-
able that the school officials will take
no formal action without the sanction
of the board, Many of the bows of the
two classes are enthusiastic for the
adoption of plans for military training

BABY WEEK IN MAY.
Kenosha to Join With Many Other COM
munities In Observing Week for
Baby Advancement.

About 200 Wisconsin communities in
GLIDING Kenosha will probably observe
Baby week during the first week in
May, the official date set for it by the
children s bureau at Washington. About
100 towns III the state held Baby week
programs last year, according to the
department of general information and
welfare of the University of Wisconsin
Extension division, which assists the
Baby week campaigns throughout the
state.
Few communities of the state will not
have Baby week program either at
home or short distance away. Some
rural communities are even planning pro-
grams Of their own. A rural community
near Sparta has written for suggestions
for programs regardless of the fact that
Sparta will have a Baby week celebra-
ton.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of beginning the
observance in Wisconsin cities week
before the official date and extending
it week later in order that prominent
speakers may appear at more meetings,
is urged by Miss Elizabeth Conley of
the Extension division, who is assisting
ir the plans for the Baby week cam
paign.
A bulletin containing suggestive pro-
grams for various communities is be-
ing prepared for Wisconsin cities. It
will be ready March l. Package librar-
les will be sent by the Extension divis-
ion, as well as sets Of lantern slides and
films illustrating subjects pertaining to
the needs and care of children. Speakers
will be arranged for by the department
of general information and welfare.
Leaflets on feeding the baby, proper
dress for the baby, and bathing the baby
will be furnished by the Extension d.
vision for free distribution at the Baby
week meetings. Posters to help adver-
tise the meetings will probably be fur
nished also.

Mr.. and Mrs. Rasmussen Are the Vic
tins of Three Charivaries In
One Evening.

One Evening.
People who live on the Geneva road
near the corner of the Milwaukee road
had night of real excitement Wednes-
day night and things happened just one
after the other. More than a week ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Rasmussen were
married and the announcement of it
was not made until few days ago.
They are popular in the community
and most of their friends thought that
the event should not pass without an old
fashioned charivari Three separate
and distinct parties reached this con
clusion and the bombarding OF the home
of the neWly-Weds started at seven
Q clock in the evening and the first
invading party had just been quoted
down when second arrived and third
began beating tin pans and firing revol-
vers long about nine o clock. Mr. and
Mrs. Rasmussen took it all as a part
Of the duties of a bride and groom and
were hospitable to all of the parties.
The firing off of small arms led the peo-
pie along the road to believe that Ge-
neva road was being invaded by some
hostile nation. The sheriff was evea
called to look into the matter but when
he found out what it was all about he
turned over and took another snoo7a
and told the celebrators to go as far as
they liked.
