MILK TEST TOO
Low; ARRESTED
Ben Miller, Caledonia Dairyman,
Pleaded Guilty at Portage to
Breaking State Law

Charged with selling adulterated
milk, Ben Miller of Caledonia, living
six miles southwest of Portage, was ar
rested and fined $25 and costs, total
of $3.50.
The arrest was made on complaint OF
r. r. Crosby, state milk inspector.
The warrant was drawn by District AT
torney T. H. Sanderson and issued by
Justice C. l.. Dering, before whom Mr..
Miller pleaded guilty Tuesday morning
1t is charged that Mr.. Miller dellV-
cred milk on May to the Fox Glen
creamery on the Baraboo road tnat
tested 2.45 per cent butter fat, in vlo-
lation of the state law, which requires
milk to test per cent butter fat.
Inspector Crosby tested the suspect
ed milk the morning of May and
found it below standard. He then
went to the home of Mr.. Miller, wit
messed the milking of eight COWS, mixed
the milk and made another test. Thls
time the milk showed 3.45 per cent
butter fat.
Due to the fact that. some of the
cows had been milked and the calves
had been allowed to "strip' the COWS,
thereby getting the ''rich" milk, the
est on May 2 was to low, according
to Mr.. Miller, who denied any inten-
ton of breaking the law.
Attorney Sanderson contended that
the state under no circumstances Will
permit milk to be sold containing less
than 5 per cent butter fat to any
creamery or cheese making establish
ment.
However as Mr.. Miller did not in
tend to violate the statues, Attorney
Sanderson recommended that he be
given the minimum fine, which the
justice assessed.

with pilot and passenger at a maxi
mum speed of 95 miles an hour 1t is
known as "the poor mans aeroplane"
because it sells at the record price of
$4,000.
The petrol-holding capacity of the
machine permits of four hours con-

Of three and one-half gallons per hour
and it will fly q miles to the gallon,
SO that the maximum journey of which
the poor mans aeroplane will be cap
able is $50 miles.

JAPANESE PHILOSOPHY

Mans life is like the journey OF a
man who, burdened with neavy load,
has long way to travel. You should
not proceed in hurry Submit to dis
comfort as the common lot of man,
and you have little cause to complain.
Should an inordinate desire arise in
your mind, think of the time when you
were in need. Patience is the basis
of peace and longevity. Regard anger
as your foe. If you only know how to
win, and know not how to lose, calam-
ity is sure to overtake you. Censure
yourself rather than others.-The New

BUILDING IS
DAMAGED At
coc
s;::;.: : il. LAWN
No Cause of Satisfactory Nature
Given as to Motive of Persons
Who Committed Deed
(From Saturdays daily.)


About o'clock this morning there
was a terrific explosion in a small
building at the rear of one on Fourth
street occupied by M. Debray, the cleo
trician The glass in the windows was
blown out the roof was lifted, and
some of the property on the inside
damaged. Neighboring windows and
plate glass in the next building, occu-
pied by Will Otis hardware store, also
were broken The roof Of the build
ing settled back after the blast, but is
damaged. A boat belonging to Mr. De-
bray also suffered. Two automobiles
in the building did not appear to be
any the worse for the experience.
Was the Explosive Hung Up?
At no place does it appear the ex-
pIosiye rested when discharged. From
the appearance of things some believe
it was hanging up. Just what it was
is also unknown. Pieces of fuse have
been found in the building, and fuse
may have been used in setting off the
discharge.
Says Strangers Visited Him
Mr.. Debray says few days ago he
noticed three strangers come to his
rear door and peek in. They were
dressed in blue suits and he thinks all
or at least two of them were Italians.
He asked them what they wanted and
they replied it was none of his bu>-
ness. They also looked into the rear
building where the explosion occurred,
before departing.
Mr.. Debray does not stay in the
neighbOrhOOd at night and knew moth
ing Of it until this morning. He went
at once to the front of his shop and
seeing nothing wrong thought some
one was foolng him. Later he learned
it was at the rear of his place of bust
ness. where he keeps his boat and
cars.
The building where the explosion oc-
CURED is used for charging batteries
and doing other noisy work This was
so arranged to keep the noise away
from the street and tenants of the
neighb0ring building.
Fragments
James StOtt, who is the night watch
man at the HerfOrt canning company's
plant says he heard the explosion dis
tinctly. After being relieved at TO
O'Clock, he came to the scene to view
the damage.
Rev M. J. Cameron, who resides on
Broadway, several blocks from the
scene, says he was awakened.
Chief of Police S. A. Pelton, who re-
sides north on East street, heard the
blasts.
Former Assemblyman George Car
penter heard the noise.
F. e. Settergren says tn noise was
like two explosions from a gun.
At the time. two operators were IN
the telephone office, one of the young
ladies asleep and one on duty.
The windows of the building were
shattered it being hard to find piece
of glass more than one-half inch
across, while a windshield on car
inside. and an electric light bulb close
to the spot where the explosion is sup
posed to have occurred, were both left
intact
A business man says sulphuric acid
will sometimes explode without cause.
He had such an experience once, little
damage being done.
