BULLETIN

CHICAGO, July 27.-The state re-
fused to dismiss the cases despite
Judge Friends statement.
"Zork, Weaver and Felsch may not
be deeply implicated by the evidence
we have presented" said Judge Cor
man, assistant states attorney, but

(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, July 27-Judge Hugo
Friends today informed the state at
torneys in the baseball trial that he
would direct the jury to return a YER
dict of not guilty in the cases of Buck
Weaver and Happy Felsch, former
White Sox players, and Carl Fork, of
st. Louis, unless further evidence was
introduced against these men.
The state today rested its case In

of the alleged conspiracy for the Chi
cago White Sox players TO throw the
1919 series.
-s Describes Meetings
Maharg, who was intimate with
Burns and Abe Attell during the al
legged sell-out, told of meetings be
tween Burns, Eddie Cicotte and Chick
Gandell in New York, of further meet
ings in Cincinnati and Chicago, and
of how Attell sent $4,000 to the play
ers in Cincinnati by Burns wher
$4,000 was due them. Like Burns
Maharg identified David Zelcher o.
Des Moines, Ia, as man he knew il
the alleged conspiracy as Bennett.
Judge Friend indicated that he
would not permit the cases of Lewis
and Ben Levi, of Kokomo, Ind, to 81
to the jury when the state announced

be dropper.
The defense then moved that tht
case against Carl Fork, of st. Louis
be dismissed.
The Judge temporarily overruleC
the defense motion to dismiss thes'
cases when the state urged that th'
defendants might be incriminated b,
further testimony. The state dropped

STATE FIRE MARSHALL TO
PASS ON LOCAL BUILDING.

The council at a special meeting
Friday night voted to have the state
fire marshal inspect the building OF
Mrs. Louise Hoffman and decide
whether or not the said building con-
forms with the state and local laws.
If the building is satisfactory Mrs.
Hoffman will be allowed 10 proceed
with her building.
The matter came up last week
when Fire Marshal Clark advised
repair or addition to her building in
the shape of new wooden porch re-
placing and simplifying an old one,
was in violation of the fire ordinance
prohibiting wooden structures to be
built in the business district The
matter went to the council for decis-
ion
City Atty. Orchard said that the
present ordinance covering the sub
ject was defective in that it prohibited
work on wooden buildings but said
nothing about wood work on brick
buildings The Hoffman building is
in the last class. Mrs. Hoffman was
represented by H. e. Carthew and pre-
pared to fight to the last ditch. Over
$500 had been expended on the work
before the carpenters were stopped.
1t was agreed that new fire ordin-
ance would have to be drawn at once
and that a system of issuing building
permits would be installed to prevent
any person from unwittingly going
to considerable expense to later find
themselves foul with the law.
On motion of Aid. Mcdonald the
city rejected and ordered the removal
of the fire siren recently installed on
the roof of the postoff1ce.
The license of soft drink parlors
was placed at $50.
A proposition to establish city
grade was carried over to the next
meeting.

FIVE SOUTHWEST COUNTIES
STUDIED In NEW REPORT.

A geographical historical and eco
nomic study of the southwestern
counties of Wisconsin, which has re-
Gently been made by w. o. Blan-
chard of the geology department of
the University of Wisconsin will be
published in a bulletin of the state
geological survey next year.
Grant, Lafayette, Iowa and the
western portion of Green and Dane
counties form a district known as
''the driftless area" because it was
not reached by the glacier. The
district is divided by Military ridge"
which runs west from Madison.
North of the ridge the soil is poor,
the size of the farm is larger per man
and the population is about half that
of the southern part.
The distribution of crops in the
two areas, pure bred stock, and kin
dred subjects will be shown by maps
in the bulletin One map shows
that altho the south portion is only
about three times in population that
of the northern. it sends five times as
many students to the state universe
ty.
The cost of road building, due to
the increased cost of grading, the
number of bridges and guard rails
needed in the southwestern district
is $500 more per mile of state road
than in the eastern districts, largely
because of the fact that the unglaci-
ated portion is much rougher
In the historical development of
these counties, first the dominant in
dustry was for trading, then min
ing and since 1850, agriculture with
dairying in the lead.

Otto Wilhelm, Dubuque telegraph
operator, was severely hurt in a pc
culiar manner. He was cranking a
car on steep hill when the machine
started, rushing him down a sharp
incline and pinning him against tree
where he was held, unable to extri-
cate himself. His cries attracted Arch
Schmidt, a taxi driver, and Schmidt
pushed the auto away from the tree
releasing Wilhelm who collapsed on
the sidewalk. He was taken home
where an examination disclosed Sc
we're decorations to his hips and pos
sible internal injuries.
The camping season along the Mis-
sissippi river is now at its height and
many camps are occupied by owners
or rented to other parties. The sites
along the river are all that could be
desired for q summer outing with
good air and beautiful scenery max
ing a fine place for rest and quiet.
William and Fred Anderson of Ga
lena went to Savanna with five gal
Ions of moonshine. The stuff was
hid in a haystack on a farm and the
boys went up town to look for Gus
toners. Someone 'tsqueakeG% and
the boys were arrested and fined. The
liqour was confscated and in default
of payment the young men will board
out $45 and costs each in the Jail.
Galena has new swimming pond
formed out of a gravel pit and having
a gravel bottom. The pool is six
feet deep and is fed by springs.
Mrs. Mary Richards died in Dodge
vile at the age of IA years. She was

sHULLsBURG DEFEATED SUNDAY
Lancaster Wins i'm First ShutOut OF
Season.

Shullsburg presented a somewhat
revised lineup Sunday. Some OF 1t
was good and some was far from
good. Osborn, Chicago product,
started on the mound but was too
liberal with his free transportation
with the result that Hosely jerked
him out after the first inning. His
one inning was the real noise as far
as Lancaster was concerned. He
started by walking Pickett. Hixon
sacrificed him to second. Adrian also
strolled and when Osborn finally got
one in Elliott rode it to the corn field
for a triple. "Rowdy" scored on j
long sacrifice fly by Young.
When the second opened our old
friend Weber was on the mound and
going fine. He looked like swell
pitcher and was. Lancaster scored
one off his delivery in the fourth
when Schleicher tripled and came
home on a perfect bunt by Dyer. II
the ninth Dyer scratched hit and
scored on HiXon's single.
Lancaster played a swell game IN
the field Schleicher contributed d
swell catch in center and Elliott,
Pickett and Hixon turned in their US
ual games on the lntleld. "Iommy
Auel handed Shullsburg slow stuff in
stead of his usual smoke and the re
suit was only four hits for the home
boys.
The Score Lancaster:
Alb. 30; R, 5; H, Z; Po., 27; A, IA; E, .

RIVER BARGE TRAFFIC
OPENS UP AUG. FIRST.

The probability of coal deliveries
via the river some time in August
loom promising, according to word
received here that the first of the
four power barges being built at
Saltwater, Mimi, will be ready for
the first journey down the river by
Aug. l. The announcement is being
received with remarks of approba-
ton, because of the fact that the
completion of the barges has been
awaited many months.
1t had been expected at the boat
building yards at Saltwater, Mimi,
where the steamers are being con-
structed that all of the boats would
be ready by fall, but only part of
them will be completed in time for
use this year.
All the steel barges to be used
with the towboats are done and have
been delivered at the ST. Louis docks.

took an 8 to beating at League
Park Thursday. The visitors present
ed a formidable line up with Smith
son of the Tractors on the mound,
Johnny Gerlach back of the plate, and
Bracket and Schwind in the field, and
the locals had no easy time winning.
Smithson worked a swell game and
looked like the best hurler Lancaster
has faced this season. Five hits were
all he allowed the boys but they
managed to bunch two in the fifth
and three in the seventh. The two in
the fifth were mixed with base on
balls and produced two runs while
those in the seventh were two doubles
and a triple. With the help of pas
sed ball they accounted for three runs.
Glenn, pitching for Lancaster, work
ed nice game. He eaSed up trif1e
in the seventh when Platteville scored
three runs after two were down on a
base on balls and three hits in a row.
After this the little fellow frightened
and kept the game in his pocket.
Lancaster scored three in the second
without a hit. Two errors by Orion
and one by Millman, mixed with some
dumb baseball, scored three before a
man was out. Platteville scored one
IN the third on two hits.
In the fifth Pickett got a life when
Oyer threw for Glenn for the second
out Hixon walked. l.. Adrian beat
one out and Elliott scored Jimmy and
Eddie with single to center.
The seventh produced runs for both
teams After Dyer and Glenn were
down on strikes Pickett poled a double
to center and Hixon followed with an
other over third good for two more
sacks. Lawrence Adrian rode one OF
Smithson's offerings for three sacks
and came home himself on Gerlach's
passed ball Glenn famed the first
and second man in Platteville's half
and then walked Millman. Bracket,
Gerlach and Orion came through with
three singles in a row and three runs
were across.
