Jerome O, Bjerke, University Stu
dent of Stoughton, Had His
Dreams Shattered

A dapper young man in full dress
suit, "biled" shirt, white gloves, neat
patent leather dancing pumps and non
chalantly spinning a shining velvet
hat, was arraigned in court at Madi
son Saturday.
He is Jerome O. Bjerke, Is, Slough

His dream of a most eventful even
ing in his social life was rudely shat
tered just as he was about to ring the
bell at sorority house to meet his
lady fair.
A policeman intercepted him with a
warrant sworn out by his wife, Georgi-
ana, and charging abandonment.
Georgiana was high school senior
at Stoughton until two months ago,
when she succumbed to Jerome's ar
dent wooing They eloped to Wau-
kegan. Parents of neither would give
their consent to the marriage.
Jerome told his friends the marriage
was illegal because of his age and the
two people went their own indiN idual
ways, Jerome "fussing" not only his
wife when leisure permitted, but also
impartially crushing" other bellies at
the university.
After the hearing dad brought him a
change of raiment. Neither the young
wife nor the "other girl who was to
have been Bjerke's prom partner, were
among his visitors in court.
Bjerke has been expelled from Delta

There is a culvert on the Hubert
flats near Kilbourn that has about
had it's day. The culvert is at the
foot of the hill just before reaching
the site of the big dam and the water
takes a whirl at this point, gradually
eating into the bank Some days ago
half of the culvert caved in and for
time it was necessary for the traffic
to make detour. Highway Commits
sioner Jonn Gunnison, Committeeman
r. B. Griggs and others have Wis ted
the place and decided that one of
three things must be done:
L Rebuild the culvert, the remain
ing portion being badly damaged.
2. Tunnel the sandstone rock for
the passage of Hubert Creek, thus
doing away with. a cement culvert.
3. Build a new culvert to the west
of the present one.
The matter will be brought before

to be held in few days.

Mexican border previous to going
across. He has been overseas for over
one year and received several wounds.
Although he only wears two wound
stripes, he was wounded by shrapnel
in the abdomen and in the leg, as well
as wounded over the right eye. The leg
wound caused Mr.. Tudor the most diff
ficulty as he lost some of the muscular
tissue in that member which took
some time to build up. Many here
heard that he was blind in one eye
from the she'll that struck him, but the
cut has entirely healed over and is
hardly noticeable. While Oh the ship
coming home pieces of shrapnel were
still working out of his abdomen
Mr.. Tudor is looking fine, but it will
be a while before he will be himself
again. He is glad to get back and,
like most of the overseas boys, he is
not anx Gus to tell of his experiences.
He has gone to Madison today for a
short visit with friends.
