London, Dec. 5.-Her hope blasted

was still rather dazed today.

the fighter they had trusted with the
mission of bringing the worlds cham

There was everything to remind OF

had crossed the channel to see their
poilu defend his crown, were still re-

Beckett said today in explaining the
attempt he made to get away from
his seconds and go after the French
man when he had been revived.

worlds championship said

Fight experts are making no at

The blows that Carpenter showered
on the Britisher We're not clearly regis
tered by the scorers, but it was agreed
that it was right swing to the jaw
delivered with jump of his whole
body that put Beckett on the mat for
ten minutes with a wild, maniacal grin
on his big, rough face.
Ringsiders also disagree as to the
length of the bout. Berkeley Of the
Mail insisted it was So seconds, the
timekeepers asserted it was "a sec

Beckett's followers blame him for
walking into a trap like a child. BY

Hutler and Accola Of Prairie du-
Sac Are The Lowest Bidders on
the $4O,O 900 Job
WORK TO BE COMPLETED
BY MIDDLE NEXT OCTOBER
About 5000 Barrels of Cement
VIII be Used in Constructing the
Highway to Lake

On Tuesday in the office of City
Engineer II e. French the bids were
opened for the cement road to be built
between Baraboo and Devils Lake with
the $4,000 bequest of the late W. w.
Warner of Madison. The bidders were
as follows; the price being per square
yard:
Hutter & Accola, Prairie du Sac,
$3.50
Arthur Judevine, Baraboo, S2.26.
Western Construction Co; La Crosse,
$2.40.
Sweeny Brothers, Reedsburg, $3.50.
Hutler & Lewis, Fond du Lac, $2.63.
Last winter bids were opened and
afterward withdrawn. The lowest bid
at that time was $197 per square yard.
The $4,000 will lay cement road
from II to IA feet wide The specific
ations call for the cement to be eight
inches deep in the center of the road
and six inches at the side. About 5000
barrels of cement will be required for
the work The crushed rock will prob
ably come from Ableman and the track
to the Cahoon mine will be used for de-
livery, as the road crosses this spur.
The work of laying the cement will be-
gin early in July and is to be COM
pleted by October Is. The East Sauk
road will be closed while the work is in
progress.
The work of grading in the city will
begin at once, the scraping and hauling
being done by the street department.
In order to reduce the grade on the
south end of Walnut street there will
be a fill of three or four feet.
George Carpenter has taken con-
tract to do the grading in the town of
Baraboo.
The work in the park will be done by
the state. State aid will assist in the
town of Baraboo. The work of laying
the cement will begin in Baraboo and
this will give more time for the grad
ing in the park.
The intent of the will will be carried
out to the letter 1t had been hoped
to add money to the $4,000 to make
the IOdu WluSI OuC InOoC lhCCl O0ICu al
the Warner estate would not permit
this so the best will be done under the
circumstances. Shoulders of material
other than cement will permit cars to
pass. The foot or bicycle path on the
side will be built after the road has
been constructed
The road has been placed on the
state trunk line system and in time
will become a part of the federal high
ways.

There was a short session of circuit
court on Tuesday, Judge E. Ray Stew
ems of Madison presiding. Court re-
porter Edward H. Smith was also here.
Frank B. Moss of BarabOo acted as
clerk.
Two divorces were granted The
first action was that of Hector Joseph
Ligneel VS.. Lody Ligneel. 1t developed
she is still in France and has refused
to come to America to join her hus-
band. 1t also developed, according to
the testimony of the husband, that a
child has arrived of which he claims
to know nothing about. The plaintiff
resides at Baraboo.
The second action was that OF Elva
Schultz VS.. Herman Schultz OF Bara-
boo. Cruel and inhuman treatment is
given as the ground for the action.
There are two children and there was
a contest as to who should have charge
of them. One was given the mother
and the other to the grandmother, Mrs.
William Schultz, Merrimack.
The following were admitted to
citizenship:
Emil Schuck, Ableman; arl Schuck,
Westfeld; William Retzloff, Logan
Vile: John Zobel, Reedsburg; John
Henry Static, Ironton; Fred A Stein
horst, Excelsior; August Kamrath,

Peter Rettgen, Freedom; Paul L.
Dresher, Gustav Geuz, Troy; Joseph
Huebsch, Prairie du Sac; Fred Strutz,
Winfried, Herman Kroger, Baraboo;
julius Wenzel, Troy.
In the group admitted one was a
veteran of the Civil War and one a
soldier in the Great War. Joseph
Huebsch fought against the south and
is now SO feeble it was necessary to
help him across the room. Felix
Zanella of Baraboo was in the war
just closed.
Nearly thirty, who took out their
first papers and permitted them tc
lapse, must make application again
and go through the progress once more.

been a year previous. The soldier had
made a will written on a shoe in which
he had left Mr.. Marsh quite a sum OF
money. Mrs. Marsh was greatly excited
about this story, but Mr.. Marsh put
the fellow down as a lunatic. lie gave
the Marsh family lengthy story about
their share of the estate, which their
soldier relative had left after giving
up his life. on the battle front in
Flanders. Very likely he invited them
to put up at the big Banff hotel at
his expense.
Churchill appeared at all times to
be nervous, evidently working the
wheels fast to get an opening for a
touch though Miss Chamberlain says
she did not hear anything that sounded
like a "touch" No doubt Churchill
intended to impress the Rutledge folks
with his great wealth and astonishing
benevolence Churchill is in jail at
Baraboo.
Additional information
Concerning Churchill Barahoo Of
ficial says:
Evidence is accumulating that this
man Churchill is a common crook or
confidence man. The authorities now
have four cases where he obtained
money by means of false representa-
ton. His methods is nearly the same
in all instances. He tells his victims
that he is a man of great wealth, and
sells them land in Canada which he
says is close to his ranch. He gives
them an alleged land contract and
obtains a payment of one dollar per
acre. He exhibits photographs OF
buildings which he tells the purchaser
is the property he is buying. He also
tells the victims that he will rent the
land from them and agree to pay them
a good sum as rent. Where the pur-
chaser can not raise $3.50 Mr.. Churchill
takes what they have, in one case $25;
and in another he took $50 Liberty
bond.
He also pretends that he will deliver
legal contract from an alleged land
company but make one excuse after
another for not doing SO. He wears
rings which he tells are rare diamonds
but which are only glass such as for
sale in ten cent stores.
There are undoubtedly other victims
in other parts Of the state as it is
known he has visited several places.

William Churchill, the pretended heir

Home on Thursday morning, lntroduc-
ing himself to Miss Harriet Chamber

ly estate amounted to $18,000,000 OF

It was to cost 100000.
He arrived at. the Rutledge Home at

other attendants to visit his big hotel
at Banff and stay there as long as

Miss Chamberlain says that the man
impressed her as being loony. He was
very loquacious and the more he
talked the stronger did her impression
become that he was insane. He ap-
peared to have a strained expression
in his eyes and to always be afraid
that he would be found not talking.

the time, telling them stories and
