of untitled orders. Were it possible
for the steel industry to guarantee
deliveries within reasonable time it
would enjoy the greatest activity pos
sible. There is known to be large
amount of un-ordered business, on
account of the steel makers being un-
able to accept it with any definite
assurance as to delivery. The short
age of coke and of cars and decreased
efficiency of labor combine to slow
up operations. The loss to operation
during the steel and coal strikes
is also going to be felt for some time.
The Steel Corporation continues to
adhere to the March, 81 or Industrial
Board prices for it's products, and the
10 per cent wage advance it has just
made does not alter its position in
this matter.

TRIED TO CUT HIS THROAT.

Louis Rock, well known hereabouts
where he has worked in the lumber
woods for many years and later in
the mines, tried to suicide Sunday
night in his room over the St. Marie
restaurant by cutting his throat with
a razor. He did not get deep enough
and only inflicted nasty cut on his
neck. He is recovering and is again
able to be out. No cause is given for
the act more than in fit of despond-
ency he tried to kill himself.

STOLEN MONEY
IS PROCURED
Thieves Are Followed to Reeds
burg by Baraboo Policemen;
Band Held on Reedsburg Street
From Thursdays Daily


Chief of Police S. A. Pelton and
Officer Otto Harmed returned yester-
day afternoon with the stolen money
obtained from B. N Robinson and
Nathaniel Farnworth. Two so-called
gypsy girls, who were showing the old
gentlemen some Of the their latest
dances, etc., were accused of taking
$40 from Farnworth and So from Rob-
inson.
Mr.. Pelton states that they were
traced to Reedsburg where officers in
that city held them on the street until
the Baraboo police arrived. Reedsburg
authorities were anxious to have the
band out of the town so Chief Pelton
and Officer Harmed took them about
mile in the country where they were
held until the money was produced.
After much pleading and denials of
stealing on the part of the moth
Ell of the girls, the sum was
gathered up among the band Two
twenty dollar bills and a five dollar
bill, which the two Baraboo men miss
ed, were returned to the officers.
The gypsy outfit wass composed of
two automobiles with Wisconsin and
Illinois licenses and the mother of the
girls who took the bills claim they
were not gypsies but a band of Cher
okee Indians from Oklahoma. The par
ty is on its way to Milwaukee and ex-
poets to return to Oklahoma for the
winter, Chief Pelton did not take the
thieves in custody and after obtaining
the money the band went on it's way.
The money has been returned to the
owners.

RUSH TO CALIFORNIA
FROM WISCONSIN

Until 1849 the southwestern por-

sections both in population. and polit-
ical influence The rush for the gold
fields of California in that and the
succeeding years drained away so
many of the enterprising citizens of
Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette counties,
that the lead mining region has never
recovered it's relative Importance in
state affairs. An old scrap-book re-
