Old Rutland Farm Found to Be
Abode Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
by Two Servians
JOSEPH NEDOVICH KILLED
BY THE FEDERAL AGENTS
Two Jugs Found in Shed Which
Gives the Officers Their Neces-
sary information
(From Fridays Daily

- OoAJ}
Joseph Nedovich was shot and kill
ed by a federal agent Thursday af-
ternoon about 5:15 on the old Rhu-
land farm southeast of Baraboo. The
shooting was the result Of a liquor
raid made by two federal men
and Nedovich lost his temper when
cornered by the agents. He advanced
on one of them with an axe and was
shot.
The two agents, SO the story goes,
were at the Sauk county fair and no
ticed a man from Wonewoc with a
bottle. They accosted the "lit UP
stranger and demanded Of him the
source of his moonshine. Upon being
directed to the place in an, automobile
driven by Earl Jaquish who was TAX
ing passengers to and from the fair,
they Immediately instituted a search
for the secret liquid. Two jugs were
found in the shed of the farm and
the trouble began. Nedovich became
enraged about this time and started
at the federal men with an axe. One
Of the agents fired in the air two
times. but this did not stop~the en-,
ragged Servian, it is claimed, and more
effective efforts were necessary on
short notice as NedOvich was getting
uncomfortably close with the weapon.
Five shots were put into the moon
sinner before he dropped.
Nicholas and Joseph Nedovich, two
brothers run the farm at the old
Rutland place and at the same time
made a quantity of moonshine which
they sold to patrons, it is claimed.
Nicholas was brought to the county
jail this morning by Sheriff VIM. Tar
nutzer and the federal agents, where
he will await further development in
the case. Nicholas is married and has
a wife and one child which
are left on the farm alone.
The body of the dead moonshiner
was brought to the undertaking par
1ors Of Blackburn, Scheible & Dyrud
to be prepared for burial.
The name Nedovich is spelled in
various ways. Some of the Baraboo
merchants have it Nezovch and in the
Baraboo telephone directory the name
is Nedimoch.
The farm is located in hollow
near the bank of the Baraboo river,
just east of Crawford crossing. Op-
posite was formerly the WeiriGh
slaughter house and a short distance
to the west is where William Miller
lost his life in a we'll number OF
years ago. Through the Nedovich
place flows a little stream fed by
springs, cress being abundant. The
road is not much frequented.
The dead man had reached middle
life and had not resided at Baraboo
many years.
The names of the federal men as
given are Carl Henning and Wm
Lehr.
In Self Defense
Just before noon today jury in the
case decided that Nedovich came ia
his death from bullet fired from a
pistol held in the hand of William
Lehr, shooting in self-defense.
The decision was reached in the
office Of District Attorney Bohn ana
the jury consisted if J. j. Pfannstiehl
Peter Lind, E G. Demo, G.. J. Shields
George Holahm and Chris Dyrud.

While Mr.. Lehr was guarding the
jugs Joe suddenly jumped up, seized
an axe and broke the three jugs with
a well directed blow. Lehr protested
but was unable to prevent, being q
