ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH
DEATH OF ACTRESS
Manager Brown Cancels All of His
Arbuckle Films-0ther Exhibit
tors Do the Same

The entire United States was shock
ed at the glaring headlines in the city
papers announcing the death Of a
beautiful movie actress following an
alleged assault by Fatty Arbuckle at
one of his infamous high life parties.
The Censor seldom gives publicity to
disgracsful affairs of the kind, and
does not now intend TO go into detail
about it. The city papers, which feed
upon such filth, havereported the naus-
eating episode from every angle and
covering every sordid detail,
Immediately upon learning of the
affair, Manager B. C. Brown cancel
led all of the Arbuckle films as an in
dignant protest against such rotten
ness. That Arbuckle's intention was
not murder is but little defense. In
drunken orgie he in one short hour
lost the movie business millions of
dollars, handed it the worst black eye
it has ever received, ruined his fine
reputation with the American people
and as sequence may even pay with
his life the penalty of the unforgivable
crime. Does it pay to live the Chris
tian life? Does it pay to be good
Wen tell the world it does Ask Ar

BOsCoBEL AND VIOLA WIN LAST
SUNDAY
Boscobel, Viola and Cashton Tied for
First--Richland Center Also If
Che Wins from Muscoda

The expected happened Sunday
when Boscobel and Viola both won and
so tie with Cashton for first place in
the Western Wisconsin base ball
league. Should Richland Center beat
Muscoda next Sunday she will also
tie for first. Just how league officials
will decide the contest is not known.
The Boscobel- Muscoda game was a
pretty contest all the way with the ex-
ception of the sixth inning when the
Boscobel boys got to Schneider and
a timely collection of swats and an
error or two registered nine scores
in one inning. Final score was IL to
2.
The first three balls pitched by Big
Ben at Viola Sunday filed the bases
with Richland Center men. Then
Benn frightened up and eight Center
ties went back TO the bench in sue
cession. They didn't have ghost of
a show against his pitching. Score
was A to 1.

Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion,' they say. The excavating crew
made an error on the grade of the
block in front of the Roseland resi-
dence, going too low. Needing dirt
TO refill, Mayor Smith conceived the
bright idea of lowering the grade on
Jefferson street to get the dirt. 1t
furnished a short haul and Foreman
Rink agreed to excavate this without
cost. This is now being done, and by
consent of the property owners this
block viii be paved. The cost falls
heavily upon Smith Hardware Ga full
block of frontagel and also upon Will
Devlin. The rest of the north side is
owned by the city. 1t is surely a mark
of the highest type of citizenship that
Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Devlin voluntar-
lily agreed to put in the paving, after
having to pay for their frontage on
Main street also
AS soon as the steam shovel COM
pletes excavating on this street it will
be taken to the Southeastern tracks
and used to shift the gravel and sand
from the cars TO the trucks, while the
big cement mixer which holds over
ton of material at a nouthful will
enable the crew to lay pavement at
the rate of 800 feet day. The big
machines will be in position by Sat
urday, and next week we may expect
to see a full block of pavement go
down every day
As fine precaution against trouble
in the future, brick vaults are being
built over all the big valves and shut
offs at the three Main street corners.
Work on the Masonic temple is GO

Election in better business for everyone

who are continually complaining s5out
the cost of these improvements to ask
themselves which is the better: No
improvements, low wages, much UNI

and saw him. Then they ran to the
roof with O'Neill after them. The po-
liceman shouted at them to stop. and
when they didn't he began shooting.
He fired six shots. none taking effect
but one Of the bullets came so close to

mitted that he and his companions had
gone into Scheinberg's apartment. but
said they had been frightened away be-

The chase over the roofs and the shots
from Patyolman O'Neil''s revolver
