FIVE ARRESTED At
AbLEMAN QUARRY
Charged with Using intimidation
May Result in Federal Investi-
CATION
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

Sheriff William Welk went to Able
man this morning to arrest five men
at the Ableman quarry who were
charged by W. G. La Rue, the proprie-
tor and former resident of Baraboo,
with an attempt to intimidate the men
from working. The five men brought
here are John Nichols, Peligrino Ro-
mano, John and Fred Huebbe and
Otto Hintz. They were taken before
Justice III. l.. Halsted, where they
were arraigned and their case was ad-
journed to the 23d Of this month. In
default of bond they were committed
to Jail. The specific charge against
the men was the injury of the person
of Adolph Holtz with intent to COM
pei said Holtz to cease his work.
The charge against the men may re-
suit in federal investigation as the
articles produced at the Ableman quar-
ry enter into the construction of ma
terials needed for war purposes.

BRICKS ARE REMOVED
FROM WALLS OF BASTILE
Prisoners Whittle the Easement and
Make Aperture Large Enough
to Crawl Through
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

Four prisoners have escaped from
the county Jail. Some time on We'd
nesday night or early this morning
Charles Anderson, Paul Wolkowski,
Fred Graham and Albert Woods took
French leave of their temporary quar-
ters and as we go to press no trace
Of them has been found.
Their escape was made through a
hole in the south wall of the jail about
Ten feet from the ground. An aper-
ture about foot square had been
made by removing the bricks in the
wall near one of the windows, and
the wooden easement about the win
dow on the inside Of the wall had
been whitfield away piece by piece un-
til hole was made large enough for
a person to crawl through.
The whole affair is surrounded with
much mystery, as it seems inconceiv-
able that the men could have made
their escape unless help was furnish
ed from without. There is quite a
crack in the brick wall Of the Jail, evil
IDENTIFY made by frost, at the point
where the bricks were removed, and
it would look like an appropriate place
for someone on the opposite side to
start work with lever to pry out the
bricks. Most of the bricks and other
debris removed from the wall, how
ever lay inside the window OF the
iail, which would make 1t appear that

closed this morning, and evidently had
been closed after the prisoners set to
work to cut their way out of the win

mystery. The prisoners left in the
steel cage state that they did not hear
the others leave nor hear any unusual
sounds AS soon as the Jail delivery
was discovered the other inmates were
removed to another floor. There are
now four prisoners and one witness
at the Jail. Of the escaped men, An

Paul Wolkowski, Baraboo, were held
on the charge of stealing brass from

over 1000 S|LOS
I'M SAUk COUNTY
George W. Davies, Emergency
Food Agent, Sends Some Notes
of Interest to Farmers and
Gardeners
SiIos

According to reports recently conn.,
piled from information furnished by
the teachers of the county, Sauk
county has more than 1000 silos. This
is an increase of over 200 during the
past year The town of Reedsburg
leads the county in the number OF
silos reported, having 80; Ironton is
second with IS, and Baraboo third
with so. Spring Green, Sumpter,
Washington, Westfield and Prairie
du Sac each have more than so. The
only towns in the county with fewer
than 80 si1os each are Dellona, Free
dom, Honey Creek and Merrimack.
1t is not necessary to recite the bene-
fits of the silo in this county at pres
ent. Put one of them on your farm
then you will realize it's value. Two
small silos, though little more ex
pensive, will prove much more satis-
factory than one large silo. Should
we have an early frost the silo will
pay for itself the first year in the
feed saved. Corn, clover and other
late crops may be saved for winter
feeding Of beef and dairy cattle as
well as all other farm animals.
Alfalfa
The town of Troy reports 800 acres
of alfalfa. There appears to be a
mistake in this report, however, as
the Badger Valley district reports
123 acres being raised by four farm
ers. Sumpter ana Bear Creek each
report 80 acres, Baraboo 80, and
Westfeld, Spring Green, Prairie du
Sac and Merrimack more than so. Va
rious practices are followed in the
sowing Of alfalfa with good results.
Some SOW in early spring with or
without nurse crop; others harvest
crop of early potatoes or canning
factory peas then plow the land and
| sow to alfalfa. Any fertile well
drained soil free from acid should
be favorable for alfalfa seeding. FIRE.
quent cultivation before planting to
conserve moisture and kill weeds is
recommended. Have the ground quite
firm. With bran at $40 a ton and
/ milk and butter fat the present
prices it seems that every dairy farm
er in the county would want to have
a silo and grow alfalfa. Sauk coun-
ty now has 1900 acres Of alfalfa,
| hence it is needless for anyone to
advance the argument that it cannot
be grown here.
Gardens
Garden planting is about finished
The important question now is How
Do You Hoe Your Row." Frequent
use of the warden rake is one of the
best means of saving moisture and
killing weeds in the garden. There
is still an opportunity to spade up
the unused corners for late cabbage
and extra paintings of peas, beans
or lettuce. One patriotic citizen in
Reedsburg is reported to have eight
rows of onions growing between the
street curbing and the sidewalk.
State Potato Show
Sank county farmers will be
pleased to know that the next meet
ing Of the State Potato Growers as
sociation will be held at Madison in
November We should be making
our plans now for good potato ex-
hibit from this county. Watch for
further announcements.

RETURN TO 10
CENT RATE FOR
WATER OCT. |
Surplus Fund is Exhausted
Present Service Charge
To Continue

Owing to the increased cost of
coal, chemicals and labor at the
Fargo filtration plant. and the fact
that the surplus fund accumulated
during the past few years has been
exhausted, Fargo water users will
be asked to pay the old rate of 10
cents a thousand gallons after Oct
!, r. B. Blakemore, commissioner of
waterworks, announced today.
The service charge of $120 for
six months, however, will continue
after that date, Mr.. Blakemore add
ed. Under the old rate the service
charge was $1.20 for three months.
A special rate of 719 cents a thou
sand gallons and a decreased ser
vice charge was adopted last fall
after water users had been supplied
for three months without charge, the.
object being to turn back to patrons
Of the plant a surplus of money
which had been accommodating, and
which could not be turned over to
any other city department under the
ordinance.
The cost of water production at
the plant during July was 1851
cents a thousand gallons. The plant
will not operate at a loss under a
10-cent rate, however. as a portion
of this expense is included in the
waterworks' budget.

DENIES MOTION
FOR new TRIAL
IN LIBEL CASE
Pollock Asks For New
Trial of Case This
Morning

Judge A. r. Cole of the district
court this morning denied the mo-
ton for a new trial in the case of
Major B. c. Boyd against L. E..
George, editor of The Hillsboro Ban
ner, made by Charles A. Pollock.
representing the former captain of
the militia company at Hillsboro.
The counsel for Major Boyd also
appealed from the taxation Of the
costs by the clerk in connection
with the case which was tried at
Hillsboro, Trail county, in June and
presided over by Judge Cole. The
appeal was made on the ground that
the costs were too high. This angle
of the case has not been determined
by the court.
The case grew out of the publica-
ton of an alleged libelous article in
The Banner.
