UNCOVER BODY
AT MARKESAN
While Blizzard HowIed Concrete
Container With Body Is Lifted
From Grave

Nature provided an eerie setting
Thursday at Markesan for the ex-
humation of the body of Alfred
Duties from its resting place in the
village cemetery there.
A blizzard howled over the country
side, on the wings of biting north
west wind, while workmen set about
their grewsome task at dawn.
The breaking of the grave, which
may prove another blow at the
standing of DR.. John A. Freudenberg,
SON. law of Alfred Duties, accused
by officers OF the law Of causing the
death of Mrs. Nettie Duties by mus
tard poisoning was witnessed only
by the angry clements Three hun
dred yards away from the grave stood
the house where DR.. FTeudenberg,
his wife and baby live. Their win
dowg overlooked the sordid scene.
The workmen entring the cemetery
brought with them kindling wood and
branchs from a small woods near
by They piled these atop the mound
which has been untouched for three
years and lighted fire.
More fuel was added and the fire
kept going until the frost which a
long hard winter had implanted there
had been driven away Then with
spads and long handled shovels they
began to dig.
A derrick was erected at the grave
side and with block and tackle,
.creaking and shrieking accompani-
ment to the walls and means Of the
three lonesome pine trees overhead,
the concrete vault containing the cas-
ket was raised to the surface Of the
ground.
Snow swept in great windows to fill
the emptied grave. With sledgeham-
mers and huge chisels the workmen
began the task Of cutting open the
poured concrete container Of the
casket.
That accomplished, the casket was
taken to the village hall, where at
1 o'clock the second coroner's inquest
within the last few months in the
Duties family was held.
The stomach of Duties will be an
alyzed in Madison, also Milwaukee.
AS to whether or not Duties died
a natural death remains to be deter
mined.

CALEDONIA COWS
ARE KILLED
Cattle Belonging to Senator George
Staudenmayer Did Not Have
tuberculosis. He Says

Senator George Staudenmayer re-
turned from Madison Wednesday,
after seeing six of his Holstein cows
slaughtered in that city by the order
of the state and federal department
of agriculture. Although the cattle were
said to be tubercular, a post mortem
examination failed to show any sign
of the disease, according to Senator
Staudenmayer.
It was reported that the cattle re-
acted on tubercular tests made by the
veterinarians, representing the de-
partment, who took the tests some
time ago. Senator Staudenmayer de-
clared then that he was of the opin-
ion there was no tubercular disease
in the cattle at the time, and said
that he intended to prove his asser-
tion.
When the cattle were shipped to
Madison, Senator Staudenmayer went
also and saw them slaughtered.
Speaking of the latter the senator
said: after a post mortem examina-
ton made by the federal Inspector
having charge of the plant and an
ether Inspector from the bureau of
animal industry, no trace of tubercu--
lar disease could be found on any of
the six animals from Caledonia.

Vast Sum Available in the State
of Wisconsin for Construction
Work on the Trunk Lines
LAST YEAR l4O MILES
CONCRETE ROADS BUILT
During 1920 the Sum of $4,000,
900 May Be Used; Also Much
for Dirt Roads in State

There is no foundation for the scare
story going the rounds OF the preHa
that highway construction In WiSc0M-
sin in 1920 will be stopped. owing to
the high price asked and the dltncul-
ty in securing material, according to
f. A. Cannon. Executive Secretary
of the Good Roads Association Of Wis
consin, who discusses this subject in
the current issue of Good Roards for
Wisconsin. Mr.. Cannon says:
while there will be policy or
retrenchment in the construction pro-
gram there are indication that as
much concrete construction work will
be done in 1872 as in 1919, and more
construction of miscellaneous types
OF roads. such as gravel, stone, ma
cadam, earth roads, etc.
last year 140 miles of cement con-
crete was constructed at the same mile
age will undoubtedly be construed
this year Last year 700 miles of
miscellaneous types Of roads were
built and there is every indication
that it will run to 1000 miles this
year. Summed up, briefly. the facts
There is available for the con-
struction of cement concrete roads $l2,-
oO0,O00 in 1920, which should build
nearly 400 miles.
There is available for gravel and
other types Of surfaceing and earth
roads, $6,0OO,0O0, which viii build ap-
proximately 1000 miles.
There. is available for maintenance
on the State Trunk Highways and
the Country Trunk Highways, $4,000
000
with the $12,0O0,000 available 1t
was the theary of the Wisconsin High
way Commission to carry out a pro-
gram of building 400 mines of cement
concrete road. However, the scarcity
of cement has made it necessary TO
cut down this program. The cement
companies have allotted for road coll
strucliOn in Wisconsin 675 900 barrels.
TIE price on about one-thlrd OF tn's
amount is the same as last year, Sl.90
a barrel an increase of 10 cents. The
amount of cement allotted to Wiscon-
sin would biuld 200 miles Of road. The
Allotation of this cement among the
counties is in the hand of the Wis
consin Highway Commission, which
must approve OF all jobs done
"The condition regarding cement
concrete construction is briefly this,
The state Will have sufficient cement
allowed to build 200 miles Where
prices are reasonable, all conditions
taken into consideration, the construc-
ton program will be carried out.
Where prices are ont reasonable the
work viii not be done. 1t is a straight
business policy. Thus far bids have
been asked fer 85 per cent of the ee-
ment concrete road and let On 80
miles or 43 per cent. 1t is very pro-
bable that as much mileage will be
built this year as last year, 40 miles.
"As far as gravel, macadam and
other types or road are concerned, at
tempt will be made to construct the
full program of 1000 miles.
"The maintenance program will be
pushed in its entirety with $4,00O,O00
available for state trunk and county
trunk maintenance. Despite the cut
ting down Of The construction program
the roads of Wisconsin this year wiH
be in better shape than ever.
