ANTHRAX VACCINE DANGEROUS

After a conference between the
State Veterinarian, the Director of
Extension, and the State Agent and
Assistant Director, it is hereby or
dered, owing to the extremely dan
gerous nature of anthrax outbreak
among the live stock, that no agent
of the Extension Department, any
part of whose salary is paid by
the said Department, shall undertake
to handle such outbreaks, except un-
der the immediate supervision Of the
State Veterinarian. However, all
agents should diligently study all
authorities and literature on the SUBJ
ject, in order that he may be famil-
lar with the nature of the disease,
and be able to recognize it when it
appears; and he is to Immediately in
form the State Veterinarian and State
Agent, in order that a competent vet
e%rinarian may get on the job without
delay.
Agents will continue to handle hog
cholera outbreaks as heretofore, using
the erum alone treatment, or, when
they deem it advisable, the simultan-
eous treatment; but the public is to
be advised that owing to the fact that
~virulent blood used in the double
treatment contains live hog cholera
germs, the agents will continue to
render the service as heretofore, but
at the owners risk, as it is a free
service, that is, in case Of accident,
the college, the department, nor the
State Veterinarian are responsible.
However, the virus will only be is
sued to men who are competent to
handle it efficiently; and the agent
will use all possible care and precau-
ton to prevent any bad result.

DEER KILLER
PAYS HIS FINE
Black Hawk Young Man Released
From Jail When S. IS. Signal
Is>Heard

On Wednesday, Renard OFT, who re-
sides in the south part of the coun'
ty, heard the S. o. S. call sent out by
Walter Hahenberger, who was being
forcibly detained at Sheriff William
Welk's inn, and came to the rescue.
Hahenberger had been ifned 800
and costs by Justice III. L. Halsted on
the charge of killing a deer in the
Black Hawk country. Three others,
Arthur Sprecher, Grant Ferris and
Albert Boyer, had previously paid
fines of $100 each and costs on the
same charge. The costs and board
for Hahenberger amounted to $2662,
making a total of $12662, which was
paid by Mr.. OFT. There has been con-
siderable illegal hunting and fishing in
the southern part of the county. and
the heavy fines will no doubt have a
tendency to reduce the number of Of
fenses. Other have been in court, the
total reaching more than $500 in fines,
not to mention the costs. AS for Ha-
henberger Justice Halsted took occa-
sion to give him lecture on his fu-
ture conduct He told him if he heard
Of his going into a saloon or drinking
in the future, as he had been doing in
the past, the court would have him
posted in all the saloons in the coun-
ty. There may be other offenses in
which Hahenberger has been engaged
and these the court will overlook,
with the understanding that he turn
over new leaf. 1t is said the heavy
fines imposed has caused more talk
about the Black Hawk firesides than
any event since the last presidential
election.

BLASTING MAY
STOP ON SHORE
At DEVILS LAKE
(From Fridays daily.)

| A movement is on foot to try ana
arrange for an exchange of property
at Devils Lake between the American
Refractories company and the State
of Wisconsin. The land that the state
wishes to get hold Of is that lying
along the east side of the bluff, where
the rock is heinS crushed and the
natural scenery destroyed. The state
owns large tract of land at the Kirk
/ land end of the lake containing the
! very sort of rock the Refractories peo-
pie desire which is over a mile from
the lake itself, and which would offer
much more suitable site for blast.
ing and crushing of rock, both from
the states standpoint of preserving
the scenery about the state park, as
we'll as from the viewpoint of the Re.
fractOries people for blasting opera
tions.
The talked of exchange of property
is being fostered by Assemblyman
George Carpenter and F. B. Moody
of the State Conservation commission
and looking toward that end a meet
ing was arranged this morning be.
tween P. B. Mausman of Joliet treas.
urer of the American Refractories
company, and Mr.. Moody of the con-
servation commission. A number of
citizens from the city and town of
Baraboo also went to the lake to lend
encouragement to the exchange
movement. Those from the city were
w. E. Baringer, secretary of the Bar
aboo Commercial association; G.. w.
Andrews, HI. M. Mould, HI. Groto-
phorst, G. H. Evenson, H. e. French,
S. j. Hood and HI. X. Page. They were
met by Assemblyman George Carpen-
ter, Theo. Deppe, Wilbur Cahoon and
Charles Getchman the latter two rep
resenting the town of Baraboo. At
wood Smith, park superintendent at
Devils Lake, was also present at the
meeting, and conferred with Mr..
Moody, while Mr.. Mausman Of the Re.
fractories company was taken over
the ground that the conservation COM
mission wishes to exchange by Theo-
dore Stackman, foreman at the crush
ing plant.
While no definite decision has yet
been made, there is every prospect
that an exchange of properties may
be brought about. The Refractories
company cannot now use the large
charges Of dynamite that they would
like to or account OF their proximity
to the railroad tracks and in the pro-
posed new location, removed so far
from the lake, there will be little to in
terfere with their operations. A spur
track could easily be built from th&
main line of the railroad to the site
now suggested. The latter lies near
what is familiarly known by older
visitors at the lake as the ten-acre
field Mr.. Moody and Mr. Carpenter
are bending every energy to the &C
complishment of the exchange, and
the residents of this locality and visit
ors to the state park have long de-
sired that the crushing of rock and de-
struction of scenery cease at one of
the most conspicuous points about
Devils Lake.

deer HAVE MADE
RUNWAY At LAKE
(From Fridays daily.)

While several Baraboo citizens were
at Devils Lake this morning they had
the pleasure Of seeing two deer go
scampering across a field and off
among the trees. Deer have become
quite plentiful on the state park pre-
serve and the animals have made a
regular runway at the kirkland end
of the lake about mile from the lake
itself. Park Superintendent Smith
states that dogs are greatly annoying
the deer,in fact the ones seen this
morning were being chased by two
dogs, one an Airdale and the other a.
large black dog. The owners of the
CANNES have not been located, but it
is quite probable that bullet will
end careers Of the dogs shortly. Mr..
Smith states that the deer have be-
come quite tame and nearly every ev-
ening four of the pretty creatures
congregate near the old Hopkins no.

the best thing to do with him. To
send young man to prison with a

means another criminal and to shut

MAKES GERMAN BAND
PLAY u. S. ANTHEM AT

At Abbottsford, Wis, yesterday
a German band which has been
touring northern and eastern Wis
consin, five of the oId-fashioned
type of street musicians, was driv-'
en- from town by one man, Michael
Fahey, a saIoonkeeper. The band
had been playing German airs and
played for drinks in front of Fa-
hey's saloon. Fahey served them
with drinks, and then, after they
had played several numbers, i'm
Vited them indoors. When they
had entered he ordered them to
play The Star Spanuied Banner.
Locking the front door and draw
ing big revolver, he swore that
none of them would leave alive
until they had played four Amer.
lean airs. They compiled and he
then gave them orders to leave
town on the next train, leaving in
IS minutes.
1t is presumed this is the same
band that visited Baraboo some
days ago. After being at Able

From the junction of the Barabco

Mahoney farm, west for about three
feet the water swept across the Bara-

the Nelson Long place it washed
across the highway.
During the night the water rose to
a height of three to four inches above

it began to recede this forenoon and
at noon had probably dropped about

In Vogue Forty Years

The old system of sending every
criminal to prison was in vogue in
this state for forty years. After a
man was kept in a penal institution
for five or ten years he got out Of
touch with the outside world and all
social and industrial matters. Often
when he returned home his old asso-
ciates would have nothing to do with
him and it would be difficult for him
to secure employment All this has
been changed by laws which have
been passed, the most important one
being signed by Mr. Davidson when
he was governor. At that time he be-
came interested in the subject and
has worked along that road much Of
