LIVELY RUNAWAY
THIS MORNING
(F'rom Frl0ay's daily.)

A lively runaway occurred this
morning when the team belonging to
John Rumpf of Glenville broke loose
and cut several capers. The team was
hitched back of the Reinking store and
became frightened at piece of paper.
They started down the alley past Fish
er Bros drug store, tipped the wagon
over and tore loose the two front
wheels. They turned north on Oak
street, where both horses fell, striking
the park curbing. They started again
and tore the lamp post from the cor
ner by the Reinking store, where they
parted company, one going toward the
Farmers & Merchants bank and the
other colliding with an automobile
standing in front of the Potterville
stors. The animals fell again, were
caught and taken to the Sherm Luce
livery barn One horse was quite bad
ly bruised. The Ford, belonging to
Peter Higgins, received no great in
jury except bent fender. The wagon
was quite badly damaged and the
empty cream cans which it held were
scattered about.

BODY FOUND At
CHIPPEWA FALLS
Remains of Captain A. E. Green
waId Taken From Lake After
Being in Water All Winter

After being in a lake near Chippewa
Falls since last October, the body of
Captain A. E. Greenwald has been
found. Captain Greenwald, DR.. Nus
sci and Thomas Tibbitts went to the
lake in an automobile to search for
Young man who had been drowned
some days before the accident hap
pened to the trio. Soon after they
went to the lake their automobile was
found on the shore and their boat float
ing in the water. How they came to
perish is not known, but it is thought
the boat struck a snag or log. The
craft was a motor boat. Electric
lights were used to search the bottom,
but the bodies were not found last fall.
Captain Greenwald was at the head
of the Military company at Chippewa
Falls and owned a shoe store there.
Mrs. Greenwald formerly resided with
her parents near Loganville, her name
before her marriage being Alice Black.
For several years she resided in
Reedsburg, and graduated from the
high school there. She is related to

REVIEWS THE SITUATION
By r. P Perry, Reedsburg VceCh Chairman of the Third Liberty
Loan, Sauk County

I think the third liberty loan will be
a success in Sauk county-that is, we
shall exceed our quota. The superior
organization, compared with the two
previous ones, together with the edu-
cational propaganda, has made the re-
spOnse better.
There are slackers in the county,
and they are not all among the Ger
mans, either Our people do not real
ize yet the necessity OF getting behind
the government with all our energy
and making real sacrifices and the de-
sirability of saving for these bonds in
stead Of paying for them out Of our
surplus. Not the Germans only, but
Americans also, SO many of them,
have only subscribed enough to save
their faces" and "get by"
The Germans who are lax are sus-
ceptible to education and when they
learn, as they will, that it is for the
common people we are fighting, and
against the kaiser and his crowd, they
will be as enthusiastic as we could

wish.
/ think the chairman of the speak
ers' bureau should instruct the speak
ers to use kindly arguments for our
german friends seeking to win them
with the truth fairly presented, saving
denunciation and sarcasm for the
American slackers with the full
money bags, for, sad to say, there are
many of those who are at heart
against this war because of their
pocket-books and they are the detesta-
BILE ones.
| do not like the card system as we
have tried to use it and think it can
be improved upon next time; as a
guide it is all right but we have no
law to enforce the allotments and il
that is so we should not try by blulf to
secure subscriptions; it is beneath the
dignity of Uncle Sans workers to do
that and there is a better way. We
are, learning all the time and as these
campaigns are coming from time to
time l predict Sauk county will be in
the forefront hereafter

equal of any young buck in the coun-
try. 1t is also she who does most Of
the tanning and cooking for the tribe.
INDIAN A SUFFRAGETTE
Christiana is an Indian suffragette,
and causes her husband a great deal
of worry. Only last year he was pre-
vented from marrying a third wife, a
girl of fifteen The girl being ward
of the government, officials inter
vened. Upon being asked why he
wanted another klooch, Nicolai re-
piled, "Christiana too sassy. All same
white klooch." She, however, is held
in high esteem by all of the other In
dians for services which she has rem
dered them. At one time they were
entirely out of provisions during the
winter, and the bucks being unable
to find game, she shouldered her rifle,
went out and brought back a moose,
saving them all from starvation. She
is very fond of music, and has an old
accordian which she often plays for
her own amusement and sometimes
even for strangers. The music, if such
it can be called, has something OF our
melody, combined with the weird
strains of an Indian death song. Her
pace in the band is chiefly that OF
seamstress, as she has small hand
machine and does nearly all Of their
sewing; also, makes fur caps, mecca
sins and mukluks to SELL
Nicolai has developed a keen busi-
ness knowledge, and has no need to
be told that supply and demand
should regulate prices. For exam
pie, when we first arrived at Talkeet-
ma they were selling moccasins for
$3.50 a pair, but as the orders became
more numerous, the price scared to
$500. During the railroad cOnstruc-
ton at this point it was throught ad-
visable to move the tribe to q point
about one-half mile down the river,
and negotiations were opened with
Nicolai. When he was asked how he
obtained possession of the log cabin
which he was living in, he replied, me
buy 'um; $1,000; then $1,000 then
$500; Lynx skin, mother $500, then
S1.OO." This represented an aggre-
gate total of forty dollars. The price
he asked to move, and was finally Civ
en-, was fifty dollars and new house.
HAS SENSE OF HUMOR
Another characteristic of this In
dian is his sense of humor, which was
we'll eemplified by him joking my
wife. One of the ladies in camp was
taken suddenly i'll, and it was neces
sary for Mrs. Attridge to accompany
her by boat to the Anchorage kospit-
al. After seeing them depart Nicolai
came to me and said, "No good Too
young. Go town, have 'em good time.
Catch 'em old klooch, she stay home y
I told him all right, I would get two,
and upon my wife's return he hastened
over to tell her that l was going to
get another klooch, all of the time
chuckling to himself over he SUPP
posed wrath. At another time he told
one of the men, white mans klooch
