HOLDING ALIEN
FOR OFFICERS

An officer was expected today to
accompany George Klein to Madison,
but no one came. A message was re-
ceived some days ago from New York
asking that he be detained, as he had
failed to register. officer Burke
found him in the city and he is now in
charge of Sheriff William Welk await
ing the coming of an officer. Last
week a number of cases were being
heard at Superior and this delayed the
Baraboo case. Mr.. Klein is native
of Germany and was one of the heirs
to the fortune of the late George Mer
tens, for many years banker in this
city. Soon after the death of Mr.. Mer
tine Mr. Klein appeared and remained
in Baraboo~ until after the property
was divided. AS soon as Mr. Klein
received his share, about $4,000, he
disappeared and has been in Canada
and the east much of the time since.
He paid the attorneys about $4,000 for
handling his case. For awhile he said
he did not understand the division of
the property, but says he is convers-
ant with all the facts now. Since COM
ing to Baraboo he has expressed will
lingness to register, but that time has
passed. He has told the officers he
will gladly give references, a New
York banking firm, but they can take
no step other than to detain lin until
later.

Root to be good medicine, perhaps
fully as good as you claim it to be.
Very truly yours,

FORMER MINISTER
VISITS BARABOO

DR.. E. P. Hall of Deadwood, S. D., is
spending short time here on his way
from Vincennes, Ind, where he Off
ciated at the marriage of his daughter,
Miss Wanda Hall, to Oscar Osterhage.
The bride was connected with the pub
lie schools of Vincennes and as soon
as school closed the wedding took
place. Their new home was ready to
occupy, and they are now established
there. Only immediate relatives were
at the wedding. The groom is auditor
for lumber firm which has number
Of branches.
GOLD MINING RETARDED
DR.. Hall says that gold mining in
the Black Hills is greatly retarded on
account of not being able to obtain
explosives and other material. Sew
eral mines have closed and others are
on the verge. In the mining cities
whole blocks of houses are empty and
the worst has not yet arrived. One OF
the big mines of the world is the
Treadwell in Alaska. The ocean has
found an opening there and flooded
much of the property Some OF the
machinery has been brought to the
Black Hills.
DR.. Hall says the cities of the Black
Hills are all dry now and the gamblers
long ago folded their wheels and went
their ways. 1t was a great change for
the centers once so wide open.
Mrs. Hall was not able to go to the
wedding on account Of recovering
from a severe operation. She has
greatly improved and is about. Miss
Vesta Hall is at home and Miss Mable
is at Boulder Colo. DR.. Hall was for
a number of years pastor Of the First
M. E. church in Barab0O.
AS to his visit to the oldest town of
Indiana DR.. Hall says he enjoyed it
very much. The place was first occu-
pied by the French in fort and then
sprang up a pioneer settlement, the
first in HoosierdOm.
