Hello!
Is this the jail?
Yes.
Is Churchill there?
Yes, he is locked up.
You had better look, think he just
passed here.
For the love of Mike.
The above in effect was the con
versation that passed over the tele-
phone on Thursday afternoon. While
Sheriff Tarnutzer was at sale ana
others we're busy with circuit court
duties, the giver-away OF Canadian
farms, the dispenser of millions" the
smooth letter writer, the obtainer OF
monnv under false pretenses, mar

While passing through the Third
ward Barney Schultz, employed in the
street department saw Churchill hur-
rying along, stepped to a telephone
and rang the Jail,
Churchill was going south. Word
was sent to farm houses along the
East Sauk road and there was not a
little excitement on the thoroughfare
as the millionaire strobe along. AS
a result of being informed the resi-
dents were able to see him coming
and then pass from signt, in his hur-
ried strides.
Feet Get Wet
The walking was not good. The
roads were full of water and by the
time he arrived in the Martin neigh
borhood he was getting into bewll
dering country. Going down the road
to the Messenger shore of the lake
he decided to turn back and get a
train. The day was damp and he
looked as if he had taken plunge in
the lake
In the meanwhile G. r. Marquardt
and his neighbor, Ralph Ableman
had been informed that Churchill
had escaped. They were told he wore
black hat, light overcoat. and was
stoop shouIdered. They found him
at the Bonham Park View school
house, loaded him into an automo-
bile, and gave him free ride to

About the time Churchill was CIV

The Man Mound.

The journey now leads fraction
Of a mile farther up the north range
of the Baraboo Bluffs, then mile
to the east to Man Mound Park, the
central object of which is the fam
Gus man mound.
The length of the mound is 214 feet
and width at the shoulder, 48 feet.
In order to assemble this large amount
of earth the Indians, having neither
shovels nor iron tools ofany kind, used
bark or other baskets, scrapers OF
wood or stone, and their hands. The
observer will realize with what la
Dor and under what difficulties the
workers accomplished their task.
When the Indians were gathered here,
their camp, their activity, and Their
dress must have presented an unus-
ual picture in the boundless wilder
ness.
The man mound was located and
plated by w. II. Garfield, local sur
veyor, historian, and archeologist, July
20, 1859. The original survey is now
in the possession Of the Sauk County
Historical Society. The name of the
discoverer Of this earthwork has been
lost in the dimness of time. When the
highway was graded number Of
years ago the lower part of the legs
were destroyed and subsequently the

Man Mound

M i
The man mound, few miles NORTH
east of Baraboo, is the most interest
ing archaeological feature of the re-
gion. This earthwork is shaped Like
a giant human figure and is the only
known Indian mound of this nature
in the world.
A Deer Mound
On the way to the site of the man
mound, deer mound may be visited
at 727 Eighth Street, Baraboo. Ton
Trunk Line 65, Baraboo to Portage) In
an oak grove, on land owned by Mrs.
Catherine Crandall Train. The rear
portion of this mound, a rare effigy,
was destroyed number Of years ago.
A linear mound may be seen just back
of the effigy
Continuing on the trunk line two
miles, turn Is made to the left, the
highway approaching a rugged eleya-
ton on the left side of the road. This
outcrop of sandstone is known 3o-
cally as Rocky Point or Violet Hill,
from the abundance of violets which
carpet it's slopes in the spring Vio>
lent Hill, would perhaps be a better
appellation as the point has been re
sponsible for number of serious ac-
cidents. Early in the history of this
region. a bold frontiersman made the
wrong turn, because of maudlin mind
acquired in the village by oyerindul-
gence in rum, and his wagon, tipping
over, his life was snuffed out on the
rocks.
About the year 1870 another de-
votee of Bacchus became a sacrifice.
Before his team had reached the top
of the hill, this confused husbandman,
thinking he was at the turn in the
road, directed his horses into the
rocks and by the overturning of his
wagon box, was killed.
Another victim was an employe OF
hop-yard located near the man
mound. One night this individual
walked down the slope north Of tAe
hill but instead Of owing the high
way skirting the rocks, he walked
directly over the crest. Stepping in
to the darkness, he fell headlong down
the declivity barely escaping death.
Only a few years since, q driver anu
team came down this same north SLOPE
in snow storm. The snow drifts
were deep and the driver finally aban-
oned his conveyance, walking behind
his horses in an endeavor to follow
the road. Blinded by the falling snow
and confused by the drifts, man and
team plunged over the cliff and were
only saved from obstruction by the
abundance. of snow SO deep were the
drifts that little could be seen Of the
horses after the tumble, except their
ears
