JURY VERDICT;
". H. VOCLER
W. H. Vogler Uses Revolver Ear
ly Saturday Mormng---Body Is
Found Later by Clerk

The coroners jury summoned by
District Attorney HI. r. Bohn Satur
day afternoon as the result Of the
death of w. H. Vogler rendered a
verdict of suicide. The jury was com
posed of Emil Werlich, John Agee
VIM. Kunzelman, George Swift, l.. H
Hill and B. G. Deane.
Funeral services for the deceased
Wednesday and interment in Wone-
woo, the Baraboo lodge Of Elks to
have charge Of the services in Bara-
boo and the Masons at Wonewoc Mr.
Vogler was member of both orders.
The relatives who survive are sis
ter, Mrs. w, H. Conlin, Madison;
four brothers, Carl of Adams, Frank
Of Butte, Montana; Otto Of Elroy and
Herman of San Francisco, California
All will arrive in Baraboo in time for
the funeral except Herman. Mrs. Con
lin and her husband of Madison are
already here.
The tragedy took place between
four and five o'clock Saturday morn
ing, it is believed, and the deceased
was breathing his last at seveL
o'clock when Harry Gibbons, clerk
in the wholesale candy and cigar
store arrived for work Mr.. Gibbons
did not think anything of the gasp
made by Mr.. Vogler, who sleep in the
rear of the store and, thought he was
merely trying to cough. After dinner
Mr.. Gibbons began to worry when his
employer did not arise, went into
the room and discovered what had
happened. The revolver was discover
ed and identified as one the deceas-
ed kept around the place.
Mr. Vogler left no note explaining
the cause of the deed. Young men
going into the place of business Fri
day evening did not notice any pc
cularities in the man as he was
laughing and joking with them.
Sickness and financial affairs are
given as the probable causes of the
act, by several who knew the de
ceased.
Mr.. Vogler was born in Wisconsin
on September IA, 1874, and was aged
46 years, 2 months and 20 days. His
parents were Mr. and Mrs. Herman
Vogler, born in Germany.
After coming to Baraboo he conduct
ed saloon for number of years
and after the dry wave came establi
shed the wholesale candy-and tobacco
business.

COUNTRY LIFE
FOLK GATHER
Sessions Held in First M. E
Church by Sank County Organ.
ization---Fine Program

The annual meeting Of the Sauk
ed this morning in the First M. Ei
chu4ch, the music being given by
the Sauk County Training School
chorus. On account Of the 1ateness
OF the hour of opening the president,
Earl Thomas, of Fairfield omitted his
address and yielded to Professor Don
G.. Lescohier of Madison who spoke
on "The Farm Problem" He present
ed many Of the phases Of the ques-
ton and said that the subject was
ably discussed in
Bulletin 316
Farm Labor Problem in Wisconsin
Wisconsin College of Agriculture
Madison, Wis.
The speaker advised that all inter
ested in agriculture secure a copy
of this bulletin. He said he had found
a great variety of wages paid on
farms, especially in the west during
the war When he asked one farmer
why he was paying SO cents an hour
he was not able to tell except that
prices had gone up. The speaker urg
ed that farmers find why they are
paying the prices they are.
L. B. Irish said the wages should
be in accordance with the profits
made on tbe farm.
Professor Lescohier said there were
two things to be prices
that attract and prices that will yielu
a profit. The common ground must be
found, the speaker said. Mrs. L.
H. Palmer spoke on the question of
hours.
The next paper was by William
Toole, Sr., long the inspiration of the
organization. Taking for his subject,
FRural Social Life of Fifty Years
Ago." he said he Icame to this country
in 1859, when the mode of travel
was by oxen. At that time it was not
possible to go fifteen miles after sup
per in car, visit friend, and return
in time to retire at the usual hour. He
spoke Of the social events-the barn
Taisings, the husking bees, the dances
the spelling events, and other forms
of social amusement
