He was shot and killed Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock while trying to escape from a road camp near Clifton on the Clifton-Solomonville highway. One convict did make his escape, however. in the excitement. and his absence was not noted until the prisoners were checked in at the camp. There were about 150 convicts working on the road under guard at the time of the rush of the prisoners to escape. Gar cia's number was 1909.

PETE Helm BROKE CLUB
ON NEGRO'S HEAD

Ira Broad, black and husky negro,
came to town on Monday and swore
out a warrant charging Pete Heinz OF
Tony with assault and battery. He
had a cut across the forehead which
he declared had been made with a
loaded whipstock in the hands of Helm.
The latter said he would fight the case
and it is set for hearing at i o'clock
Monday afternoon before Squire Hill.
Helm does not deny that he hit the ne
gro. whom he claims was raising dis
turbance in the saloon at Tony, and it
was either the negro to run the saloon
or Helm Hence the use of the whip
stock. Owing to the proverbial solid
ity Of the Uranium of the descendant
of Ham, the blow failed to crush the
skull of MI Broad. The club broke.

MEN AT WACO
EXPECT TO MOVE
No Definite Orders But All Are
on the Tip Toe of Anti
cipatiOn

A letter from VIM Luell to his par
ents brings the intelligence that there
is a deal of talk at Waco as to when
the boys are to be moved. That they
are to be given a ride to some other
camp soon is apparent but where or
when is not known. There has been
no official information.
Much interest was manifested III q
bulletin displayed by the News-Budget
Sunday stating that the Secretary OF
War had changed the original plan OF
allowing only five per cent of the men
at each camp TO have furloughs and
so per cent would be permitted to get
off for Christmas and an additional
number on New Years or later. The
soldier receiving such furlough would
have to pay his own way and only a
few of them availed themselves of the
privilege.
1t was stated in some of the letters
received from Camp Macarthur, this
week, that furloughs. would not be
granted to the men at that camp be-
Ol tlC -
was also said that the camp would be
moved to some other place in the South
at first, but all of it was pure guess
work
Anyhow, it is pretty well conceded
that the boys will not remain in Waco
very long. AS there is still lack Of
equipment it is not thought they will
be sent to France until there are more
guns and better provision of uniforms.
On Christmas day the men all had a
fine time and the boys from Lady
smith and Rusk county in all the rcgi-
ments were permitted to enjoy the
Christmas gift from the people of La
dysmith and other towns sent to them
by the Chamber of Commerce.

STUBBS' FRESHMAN
LICKS A PRO-GERMAN

Sparks is an Irishman who moved
into the town of Stubbs few months
ago. He was working last week with
a neighbor, Hugo Voight, who still
thinks the Kaiser is somebody. They
argued the war and German atrocities.
Voight's support of the Kaiser angered
Sparks. At night when the chores
were being done the discussion con-
tinued and Sparks said they would
settle it right there. They did, the re-
suit being that the friend of the Kai-
ser got licking, Sparks going over the
top in the first round. Now there is
peace and the Kaiser has been removed
from the wall of Voight's mind.

City Council Acts At its Meeting
Wednesday-LOtst to be Sold
i'm Old Plat

| The city council authorized the pur-
chase of the Menasha Wooden Ware
| Co.'S forty acres of virgin timber in
| the northeast section of the city fOl
park purposes at a meeting held on
| Wednesday afternoon. The city attor-
| ney was instructed to draw the neces-
sary papers The price to be paid is
as stated in the NewsBudget two
weeks ago, $1,000 At the same time
the city authorized the survey Of the
park property along the Flambeau
river. extending from the Third-Street
acres and after roadway has been
set off the balance of the property will
be sold as lots.
When the survey is complete a com
mittee will be asked to make an ap-
praisement and the lots will be sold
at the prices fixed by the city itself.
There will be about ten acres for these
lots and the council estimates that at
icaSt $1,000 can be obtained from the
lot sale making $4,000 more than the
chased
These 10 acres of the old park prop
erty were acquired two years ago and
the restrictions were that they were to
be used only for park purposes BY
agreement with the Wooden Ware
company this restriction is to be re-
moved.
The new park property of 40 acres
comprises what is said to be the larg-
est and finest piece of virgin timber
in the state Immediately within the
limits Of any city. 1t is capable of the
finest landscaping and cannot fail to
be popular In time it will, it is be-
lieved, prove TO be ten times as valu-
able as the price placed upon it now.
The driveway reserved from the
property along the river will afford
another beautiful addition to the city's
attractions.
An ordinance providing for park
control by a park commission is being
drawn and will be presented at the
next meeting of the council. 1t is pro-
posed that the members of the park
board be appointed for five years and
make it a continuing body to which
all matters in reference to parks will
be referred for action. The eXpendi-
ture of all moneys will be up to the

apolis.
The product Of this Ladysmith in
dustry is steadily becoming more and
more diversified and it is really a
miSnOmer to call it chair factory,
inasmuch as the manufacture of chairs
is Just one of several important de-
partments of this plant.
Recently, the upholstering depart
ment has been enlarged and several
new machines have been installed in
other departments. A number of new
and very attractive parlor suites have
Just been added to the factOry's com
