Public Utilities Decision in
Death of Percy E. Sedgley

The Public Utilities Commission in
a decision in regard to the accident
which occurred on the premises of
the Maine Central Railroad at Free
port Aug. 81 last, which resulted in
the death of Percy f. sedgley, says
that no one saw the accident and it
is impossible to determine definitely
just how it occurred.
"Mr. Sedgley, in company with II.
P. Randall, left Richmond at $50
P. NJ, on August l for Portland,
where they arrived about $50 for a
short time" say the public utilities
commissioners in their decision.
"On their return journey. after
stopping in Yarmouth, they came to
the house Of Frank Todd, between
Yarmouth and Freeport. arriving
there about $50 P. NJ Randall got
out of their automobile and was talk
ing with Mrs. Todd and others in the
dooryard. Sedgley remained in the
car for a time. and then got out and
walked towards the road, where he
fell down in the grass. Both Randall
and Sedgley We're said to be intoxi-
Gated. Shortly afterwards Sedgley
was seen to stagger and fall into the
buckwheat near the Written barn
which is located some 10 rods from
the Todd place and on the same side
Of the road as the railroad.
"A short time afterwards the men
went out to search for Sedcley, but
it was then quite dark and they did
not find him. Randall, after waiting
about Is minutes longer, went along
without him. The railroad is located
about third of a mile from the
TODD place. across field and pasture.
"Mr. Sedgley was last seen alive
when he fell near the barn. No one
saw the accident and it is impossible
to determine definitely just how it
occurred. Apparently, however. Mr.
Sedgey must have wandered onto the
railroad track sometime during the
night and been struck by a ~passing
train, but no one knew of the accident
until his body was found the next
morning by the section men"

PASSING OF A PIONEER

The passing of James Curry a few
days ago removed a man we'll known
for activities in his day-a long use
full day it was. He lived out more than
four score and six years, every year
worth living.
Mr.. Curry was citizen of Wis
consin almost from her statehood. The
star for Wisconsin went into the flag
in 184S and Mr. Curry came to the
state from Ohio with his relatives
in 1919
He was known largely for his ex-
periences as a stage driver. For years
and years he drove a team between
Baraboo and Kilbourn, bringing
many a new citizen from the station
at Kilbourn to this section of Sank
county. He lived here so long that
his memory spanned most of the large
events, that of transportation inter
ested him greatly. Coming to the
state before the advent of railroads
he saw a wonderful evolution in
transportation.
Mr.. Curry was always dependable.
During the days Of the stage import
ant missions were entrusted to his
care and these he faithfully fulfilled.
He was firm yet kind-kind not only
to people but to horses and other
animals. For years he cared for
Baraboo driving animals and owners
were always anxious that he have
them in charge during the boreal
season.
With the passing of Mr.. Curry an
other link with the pioneer period OF
Sank county history has been sever
ed.

MANSLAUGHTER
VERDICT VOTED
AT AMIGO, Wis.
District Attorney Surprised by De-
cision Undecided What Move
to Make; Jail Under Guard

Sentiment on he prohibition issue
crystallized on Friday at Amigo in
the verdict of corOner's jury inves-
igating the death of julius WurZer,
alleged Elton, Wis, moonshiner, when
it recommended that three prohibition
enforcement agents of Milwaukee. and
a deputy sheriff of Langlade county,
be held for trial on manslaughter
charges, according to c.. ]. Reinert,
district attorney, who late Friday
night was undecided what specific
course he would pursue.
The verdict in view of the testimony
at the inquest which indicated that
the federal agents opened fire after
Wurzer had drawn his revolver from a
holster slapped to his side after he
had been ordered to surrender, came
as distinct surprise, according to
Mr.. Reinert.
I'm not sure that I can arrest a
federal agent implicated in such an
affair while in the performance OF
his duties" Mr. Reinert said. 81 expect
to communicate with William ]. Law
renee of Milwaukee, chief enforce
ment agent for Wisconsin, and will
later decide on what step I will take
in complying with the recommendation
of the coroner's jury.
The men hit by the coroner's ver-
dict and who were still in Amigo Fri
day night but had not been placed
under arrest, are Nicholas Amen,
William Loose, and j., A. Door, federal
agents, and Harry w. Morse, deputy
sheriff of Langlade county. The latter
attributes the burning Of his home
and blowing up of his automobile a
years ago to enemies among the moon
sinners. -

This office has received a copy Of
the Pensacola (Florida) Journal
which tells of the arrival Of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. @. Osborn in that city. 1t will
be recalled that Mrs Osborn, nee Viva
Robinson is a niece of Mr.. and Mrs
ID. Joseph Johnson of this city. Fol-
many years she was a resident OF
BarabOo. The Pensacola Journal says:
After a cruise of approxima tely
1900 miles the yacht Viva M. came
into the harbor shortly after noon

While in our city last year Mr. and
Mrs. Osborn became acquainted with
the Crenshaw family, and while here

of Capt. Jack and family. They will
spend several days visiting Pensa-
cola and will probably take up their
journey again about Sunday.
The Viva M. is a trim little craft
and sails under the official insignia of
U. 989. She measured over all So feet
and is equipped with all modern con-
|veniences, having large, comfortable
quarters for each member Of the par
ty, complete kitchen equipment, etc.
From here the party will cruise
down the west coast of Florida, stop

This is indeed an extensive cruise,
