Employees of the federal govern
ment were in Baraboo yesterday in
connection with the case in which
| five men were brought before Justice
HI. L. Halsted on the charge of at
tempting to intimidate men working
| in the Ableman quarry. United States
District Attorney Wolfe is back of an
| investigation to see if there is any
conspiracy afoot to shut down the
plant at Ableman. The material pro-
duced there is essential to the gov
eminent in the manufacture of war
material.
Yesterday the switching crew at
Winona picked up the mangled body
of an unidentified man that in some
manner got under the wheels of the
engine. Both his legs and one arm
were cut off and he was injured about
the head. He was still living when
removed to the station platform, but
unable to tell who he was, although
conscious. A Baraboo engineer who
witnessed the efforts of the fatally in
jured man to speak and tell who he
was says they were most pitiable. He
died in a short time.

this morning purchased a one-hundred
dollar liberty bond from part of the
proceeds of the class play given on
Wednesday night, and next Wednes-
day will produce the play second
time, the net proceeds to go to the Red
Cross. This is truly substantial
way for the young folks to how their
patriotism. The liberty bond was
presented to the alumni association.
James Barry and Herman Nichols
were up before Justice Adolph andre
today and learned a lesson they will
probably not forget in a hurry. A
bottle of firewater caused the trouble
that brought them into court. They
were at first sentenced to six months
in jail, but sentence was suspended
and they were sent out of town with |
such force and in such manner that !
they will no doubt recall with any
thing but pleasure the size of officer
Neitzels shoe. Chief of Police Pelton
promised the fellows horse whip
ping if they ever came back to Bar
aboo, and his warning was sanctioned
by Judge andre, who stated that while
it was not in the law books, new reg
ulations were being made to deal
with such cases right here in Bara-
boo.
Add this unto your prayer some
night: Teach us to drive through
life without skidding into other peo-
pies business. Preserve our brake
lining that we may stop before we are
ditched. Help us to find the knocks
in our motors and harken not SO much
to the clashing of the other mans
gears. Keep the screws in our head
as tight as we would like to have the
screws in our automobile, and never /
let us lose sight of the fact that peo-
pie who live in gasoline houses should
not throw any lighted matches around
other premises. "-Exchang /
Mr.. and Mrs. August Dahlke have |
from Milwaukee, where they !
