(From Wednesdays daily)
The opening of the March term of
circuit court was much like the move
ments before a police justice in big
city One of the unusual cases was
that of William Davis and Tom Kel-
ley. They were caught high-handed
by the village marshal at North Free
dom a few nights ago while trying
to obtain an entrance to the Charles
DehyI meat market, the records
show. When the officer came in sight
he found one man on the outside and
suspected another to be on the in
side. After Selling the one in sight
he told his prisoner to call his part
ner, but this he at first would not do,
saying that there was no one with
him. At last the ice broke and out
came the desired companion.
When brought before Judge O'Neill,
Davis said he was 80 and Kelley gave
his age as eighteen. Both claimed
to be orphans, without homes or near
relatives. Davis said his late father
worked in the coal mines at Scranton
Pa, and that he had been employed
more or less there. Kelley claimed
he came from Illinois, but did not
seem to be very definite as to the
longitude and latitude of his former
location. Judge O'Neill Intercepted
them literally, but there was not
much forthcoming. When Davis was
asked if he had ever been arrested
before he said he had not, and when
the question was presented to Kelley
he admitted that he had been taken
once for shooting craps" but was
not placed in Jail. (His partner and
those in the courtroom smiled.)
Then came District Attorney Hill.
He said that Davis had given him
the name of the supposed mayor of
Scranton and that he had written,
but had received no reply. AS to Kel-
ley he said he worked for a CalifOr-
MIA ranchman for two weeks once
and gave the name to Mr.. Hill. The
attorney had written, but there had
not been time for a reply Under the
circumstances it was decided for IS
and SO to remain with Sheriff Welk
until more information can be OBJ
tanned.
Circus Folk Get Divorce

MCGEE VS.. Albert w. MCGEE the
court granted a decree. The couple
travelled with the Gollmar show, the
wife having charge Of the wardrobes.
At the present time the location of

no children, no property, no alimony.
The two witnesses were Mrs. MCGEE
and Mrs Frank Billiard of Baraboo.
Golden Must Work

sin VS.. Ben Golden, it was decided
that he must work instead of board
ing with the sheriff, and pay $40 a
