HOUSE ENTERED BY
BURGLAR TUESDAY

Mrs. Arthur Hass, who with her
little Sun was alone in their home on
East Main street in Reedsburg was
alarmed last Tuesday night by un-
usual noises in the house soon after
retiring about midnight, which prov
ed to be none other than a burglar on
the first floor. Mrs. Hass had heard
the noises for some time when the
peculiar creak of her silver drawer
came to her ears. She was by this
time thoroughly frightened, as she
heard the back door slam and the
sound Of footballs in the yard. She was
soon relieved by the coming of neigh
bors with whom she spent the rest of
the night.
The window where the burglar en-
tered was found open and the print
of a hand on a sofa pillow near the
window was plain. Some articles
were found missing, but the extent
of the loss is not yet known.

each hand and advanced, waving
them in the face of the angry bull.
The animal, as is the nature OF that
brute recoiled from the white cloth,
though a red color would have driven
him wild. He sullenly retreated to
the other side of the yard, when Mr..
Bracel picked up the injured man
and carried him into the house.
Finding that no serious injury had
been sustained he started back to the
train, leaving, by their request, his
name with the grateful family. In
the meantime other passengers who
had witnessed the incident gathered
around Mr.. Bracel and he fount
himself hero. At the train an ex-
cited conductor asked who stopped
this train?' I did, replied Mr.. Bran
eel, TO save mans life.' The con-
ductor said, I have been conductor
for many years, but never saw such
a thing as that before.n

A short time ago, William Brancel
of BriggsviI1e, while returning from
visit in Minnesota suddenly found
himself a genuine hero. In telling OF
the occurrence Portage paper says:
"On the way down the Mississippi
he sat by car window observing the
beautiful country and grand scenery
Of that famous Journey along the
Fathers of Waters" His attention
was dramatically brought back to
earth by seeing the making of a
tragedy. In the barnyard of a way
side farm an angry bull had tossed
his owner to the ground and was ap-
parently about to gore and paw the
life out of his helpless victim. Mr..
Brancel, under sudden impulse,
pulled the cord that set the air
brakes, and before the train had fully
stopped was running toward the
scene Of the tragedy. When he got
there he took a white handkerchief In

The true issues in the present cam

that the people are in no wise misled
by the attempt of Kentucky Democ-

1t has been proven that, in the past

League of Nations and national issues,
and has sought to talk about other
things that are in no way vital or con-

A mother writes: "My little girl was
weak, puny and tired all the time, did
not want to do anything. Vinol was
recommended--it built IN her strength
and made her healthy, so now she
romps and plays like other children
and is robust and rosy"
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because it contains the
very elements needed to create red
corpuscles in the blood, quicken the
circulation, increase the appetite and
soon strength and itality is impaired

PLANE FALLS into
SEA; DRIFTS ASHORE
four Prominent Men Saved
From Ocean.

Miami, Fla, Jan. 2S.-The navy sea-
plane, which was many hours over
due on Il flight between the Bahama
islands and Palm Beach, and for
which a general search had been or.
dered by the navy department., has
drifted ashore, with all members
aboard safe, near the small town of
Vero, north Of Miami, said a telephone
message received here.
Those aboard the seaplane, the mes
sage said, were Rodman Wanamaker,
I'd, of Philadelphia Gurnee Mann, of
Washington; Phil Boyer, Caleb Bragg
and David II. McCulloch. Mr.. Mann
is a son-in-law of ROdman Wanamak-
er.
The report thai the plane had drift
ed ashore and that the passengers
were safe, allayed anxiety in the
fashionable colony here and at Palm
Beach, where the men are well known.
All available seaplanes in the yicin-
ity were skimming over the ocean
in search of the missing plane. 1t was
thought certain that engine trouble
had compelled the plane to descend,
and it was hoped the big machine
might be found floating safely.
