DEAD HOG WALKS AWAY

The poet Longfellow tells about one
man killing another and of the muir.
derer carrying his victim into butch
er ship, removing a dead hog from
a sack and placing the corpse therein.
He went away with the hog and the
butcher was greatly surprised to find
a dead man instead Of his pig. It
was not SO bad at Wonewoc but al
most so. Listen to this from the Wone-
woo Reporter.
Ed Schroeder butchered one of his
fine porkers recently. After cutting
up the hog and making some sausage,
he placed the meat in the spring house
for the night. The next morning Ed
wanted some meat for breakfast, and,
upon going to the spring house found
that all except two hams had walked
away.

HURTS THE SPUDS

The greatest losses in Wisconsin's
potato crop this year were due to
field frosting and bruising according

frozen sufficiently to become soft but
were chilled. Some of them are rath-
er wilted as a result.
"Bruising has been responsible for

HORSE MEAT"
SELLERS HELD
Get Rich Quick Scheme Re
suits in Arrest Of Prornot-
ers Of Packing Plant"

Chicago, July al.-otto Breitkreutz.
widely known as big Otto. the anil
NAL trainer" and his business associ-
ate, August Beneke, directors Of the
''horse meat syndicate" will be plac-
Ted on trial here soon on charges OF
using the mails to defraud.
The men were brought. here after
having been trailed by ~postoffice In
spectors and arrested on opposite
sides Of the continent.
a "Eorse meat at ten cents q pound
will win the war" was the motto Of
the syndicate, according to authorf-
ties. who declare that the trial will
develop unusual interest and that
men prominent in business and polit-
ical circles here will be called upon
to testify. A.
! Breitbreutz, formerly promoter Of
the big Otto Mine.' took as q part
ner in the get-rick-quick syndiate,
the ,Kunza Packing company was
formed, capitalized at q million dol
lars.
Kunza invested a thousand dollars,
said to be the only money advanced
by the partners" A plant was rent
ed, offices established and statesmen
hurried out to sell a million dollars
worth Of stock, the government charg-
eS. M
The statesmen worked fast They
told how big Otto," the $50 pound
animal trainer, fired by a spirit of
patriotism, had studied out the horse
meat scheme. They said he had talk
cd with President Wilson. Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover, Lord Northcliff,
buyer for the Allies. and Others and
all had agreed horse meat would win
the war.
The statesmen further declared that
a contract for 10000 barrels Of horse
meat, 800 pounds to a barrel, had
o. b.. Chicago.
Two thousand dollars a day would
be the minimum profit of the Kunza
Packing company; horses were plenti-
full at IS each; shin bones would bring
$50 a ton, other bones SO a ton, a s
ings - each, hair from so cents to
$1.26 a horse, grease 81 a horse. Be-
sides, the oil from horses hoofs was
valuable.
An to top it off, the statesmen point
Cd to the price Of 10 cents a pound
with a contract for six million pounds
already signed, the government charg-
es. Statesmen received a commission
Of Is per cent Of all stock sold.
While most of the buyers were for
eign butchers and other persons with
little knowledge Of get-rick-quick
schemes. 1t is. said that at least one
influential merchant invested heavily,
and that other business men purchas-
ed small blocks of stock.
When prosperity began smiling on
big Otto" according to the govern
ment, he took into the firm William
Dunn and Charles Green and gave
each $780, 600 worth of stock,
slaughtering Of horses for food pur-
poses was to be repealed through the
influence" which Arthur Quinn,
known as prince Arthur" said he
