LATE BUT DoUBLY WELCOME,

Dame Nature is pouring out her
wonders of Autumn with a lavish
hand.
Dakotans were beginning to fear
that they had been robbed Of their
glorious fall weather. 1t was merely
belated, and doubly welcome when it
came.
1t doesn't call for a professional ma
ture lover or a poet to enjoy the
glories of autumn in Dakota. The
fresh, crisp mornings, the Whistler
like splashes Of sunset color, the soft
balmy evenings of Indian Summer
create a feeling akin to pity for the
poor, inexperienced poet who wrote
''what is so rare as a day in June.
He never saw Dakota in October and
November when it is good just to be
alive.

The Editors Mail BdQ
Column Devoted To
/ Family Of Readers

Once again we have an embarrass-
ment Of riches in the poetry line for
the Saturday night Mail Bag.
If all the poets Of North Dakota,
are going to concentrate on the Mail
Bag, 1t is time TO make the Mail Bag
safe for the muse and the read
ers, and establish a standard. It
Is step taken with trepidation. To
ruthlessly throw literary efforts into
the waste basket requires courage
bordering on recklessness. But five
poems found that resting place this
week, and five mute inglorious Mil
tons" will remain mute until they try
again. To get into the Mail Bag
through the poetry route, hereafter.
will be no honor lightly won.
Fred Herring of Moorhead scrapes
by the censor this week with a rhym-
ed story Of a tragedy that was turn
warned that his poem called "Ab-
duc-tion' just got by, but he can
remember with glee the five that
went into the waste basket. Here it
is:
Half a dozen wild ducks southwark
gaily flying,
Thinking of their destination,-nota
thought Of dying.
But the willy hunter, from his grassy
bower,
Terminates their journey, with a
leaden shower.
Six fat little wild ducks, swinging in
the breeze,
Put there by the owner, who wanted
them to freeze;
T6rnY1ph fhn Ypafdnfer9 q V-Irvn@~ m1yvan
one brings a ladder,
And those little brides faded to a
shadder."
Six we'll seasoned wild ducks, hope
lessly lost and gone,
Mourned for by the owner in the
early dawn;
Searched and sought for later but
without success.
Angry words unutterable would her
thoughts express.
Six we'll roasted wild ducks garnish-
ing platter,
While the five invited guests with
the host did chatter;
When the secret was exposed, with
lots Of fun and laughter,
Those birds again were put away,
ne'er to be seen hereafter.
B. L. B. of wheatland, almost
made the Mail Bag with a whole
poem, but some of the verses didn't
come UP to the standard. We have
left him three verses of while
We Are Marching to Berlin.
Here they are to the tune of March
ing Through Georgia:
We're bound to lick the Kaiser,
And will lick him fare and square,
Well lick him in the ocean
And we'll lick him in tue air;
Well lick him in the trenches
And wen lick him everywhere,
While we are marching to Berlin.
Chorus.
We like the German people,
AS farmers they're the best;
We'd like to have their soldiers,
Their wives and all the rest;
Come and take a homestead

JUDGE WE'LL TELLS
rs EXPERIENCES

O. 4tecently Judge James O'Neill wrote
a letter to several members of the
Legislature, urging that the question
of prohibition be submitted to the
voters of Wisconsin, says the Ken
dali keystone. Among other things
he mentioned some Of his experiences
with court costs occasioned by the
saloon, as follows:
"Let me give you some leaves from
court Journals:
mot long ago a murder case was
tried before me. The defendant spent
the most of the day in a saloon, went
home in the evening to a farm O few
miles from the village, with bottles of
liquor in his pocket; his wife sat with
I little child in her lap and the other
children were playing about Crazy
drunk he took down his rifle, went
just outside the front door and shot
his wife through the head. When the
neighbOrs came, she sat in the chair
dead. The defendant is serving a SEN
tence Of sixteen years in the state
prison, the young Wife's body lies in a.
country graveyard and the children
are dispersed. 1t cost the county about
a thousand dollars to try the case
The taxpayers are supporting this
product of the saloon in state prison.
But the village got two hundred big
do lars license money.
81 sent three men in one bunch to
states prison last fall and liquor was
behind every case. The county is
supporting the wives and children of
these men, one wife getting $40 per
month and one SIS.
Here is case tried before me last
month. Action for divorce for drunk
enness. Husband forty-nine years old
and wife forty-four Family of eleven
children. These people started Oh
new farm and for many years pros
pered. Then the husband began to
visit saloons in a nearby village.
Would come home drunk two or three
times a week and abuse the family.
Matters grew worse as the years went
by. The father drove his fourteen
year-old daughter away from home
and she never returned. Drove one
of his boys away Finally the wife
had to fee with the small children
There is big mortgage on the farm.
Evidence showed that aside from
drunkenness the defendant was
very good man. The saloon is the
cause of it ALL
"The saloon destroys human lives,
wrecks homes, produces orphans. It's
chief product is tears and sorrow,
sorrow and tears. You cannot regu-
late the American saloon. You can
destroy it."

PAY BIG FINES
FOR KILLING !
FLEEING DfzGII
-Four Sauk County Residents Plank
Down $1OO Each and Costs
Others in the Net
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

On November 26, 1916, just few
days before Thanksgiving time,
deer was killed in the Black Hawk
country, and no doubt there were some
extra feasts sub rosa. That was not
the end of the heart palpitating, how
ever In due time the information
reached the ears of the conservation
commission at Madison, and two game
wardens were assigned to the duty of
ferreting out the case. AS a result OF
their investigations the following
we're fined in Justice Halsted's court:
Arthur Sprecher, $1O0.
Grant Ferris, 500.
Albert Boyer, $10O
Walter Hahenberger $1OO.
The costs for each amounted to
about $40 additional. In addition to
the above Edward and Walter
Schweppe have been arrested and
pleaded not guilty. Their case will
be heard later.
According to the story which came
out in court the deer was started or
driven and when it approached a
hunter with a gun he deliberately shot
at the animal. 1t also developed that
the deer was chased one day but was
not killed. The hunt ended the next
day, the animal was killed, and the
real excitement came when nearly
$500 dropped into the fine box in the
justice court.
Deputy Conservation Wardens Samp-
son of Stoughton and Fess of Madi-
son were assigned to the case. Sher-
iff William Welk served the papers.
During the past few months the
conservation department has been in
strumental in bringing a number of
offenders into court and large fines
have been paid.
In the Black Hawk case it was Wal
ter Hamburger who probably killed
the deer.
(From Saturdays daIly.)
Walter Hahenberger, one of those
fned by Justice H. L. Halsted on the
charge of killing deer near Black
Hawk, remains in jail His fine was
$1OO, with about $4,000 in costs. He
did not have the coin with him, and
has sent out an S. o. S. call, but no
one has come to the rescue. In case
there are Black Hawk friends with
an extra hundred or so lying about,
Walter will give shout if they heave
in sight. Messrs Boyer and Ferris
were able to raise the money soon
after being detained Sprecher was
prepared for the emergency and avoid
ed keeping company with his com
panions.

Total of note $500

1OldI VI hOIS--- OjOUU
After the Prentiss family gave the
note or notes to Glidden, he took the
paper to the Reedsburg bank, where
he borrowed $3,25O, giving the above
as security
Later the Madison family became
dissatisfied with the deal They
claimed the land was not worth as
much as represented and that they
could not make a living on the proper
ty. They refused to pay and this
brought the action into court.
The Valuation
One of the important things in the
trial was to find if possible the true
valuation of the land at Reedsburg.
The property is at the east side of the
city limits on the Reedsburg-Ba
boo road. There is a fine house, built
at cost of about $4,000, but the soil
is far from the best. John P. Stone,
president of the State Bank of Reeds
burg, testified the place was worth
six or seven thousand dollars. Others
gave expert testimony as to the valu-
alton.
