OTTO KRUGER
HAS FREE RIDE

Otto has had a free ride, which he
paid for, as the Irishman said. During
the fever of planting last spring he
rented some land from Ole J. Hennes,
who resides in Madison, and when it
came to rent-paying time Kruger did
not come forth with the ducats as
swift as lightning, and hot words re-
suited. The upshot was that Mr..
Hennes caused a warrant to be issued
for MI. Kruger, charging abusive
language, and when Chief Of Police S.
A. Pelton and officer Herman Neitzel
started out to serve the paper they
found the defendant threshing at the
p. Fitzsimmons farm where Point
Sank, the highest land in the county,
is located. They hurried to the noun
tain in Greenfield, and Mr.. Kruger
took a ride to Baraboo, where he paid
SIS as a fine, and costs in the court
of Judge Adolph andre. Mr.. Kruger
was very much pleased with the ride,
stating it was the first time he had
been given the pleasure of trip with
Chief of Police Pelton and officer
Neitzel.

LOBBYISTS COST
MORE THAN WHOLE
STATE LEGISLATURE

More money was spent by private
concerns in lobbyists fees during the
last session of the legislature than
was spent by the state in salaries for
members of the legislature.
According to statements of lobby
lists on file with Secretary of State
Merlin Hull there was paid to lobby
lists for services $90,545.96. Members
of the legislature receive a salary of
$500 for the term, which for the 1873
members of both houses would amount
to $66,5eO. 1's
Persons who appear before the leg
islature on their own behalf and rep
resent no one but themselves are not
required to register. 1t is declared
that if the expense of these individ-
uals was added the total cost Of lob
bying before the last legislature would
amount to more than 100000.
Secretary Hull said practically all
of the lobbyists who registered have
filed their reports according to law.

however, was standing at the door
Zap Of his tent. Then came five ex'
plosions in rapid succession in the
hospital itself The first two were di-
