PLATTEvILLE
WILL SETTLE
MALONE CASE
Council to Accept Com
promise Offer of
County Board.


At a meeting of the Platteyille city
council last Tuesday night it was
agreed to settle the long-drawn-out
Sarah Malone case on the county
terms made known at the last board
meeting by which two-thirds was paid
by the city and one-third by the county
By this settlement the city OF
Platteville pays the county the sum of
$1,400. The city fathers wisely saw
that a rejection meant a lawsuit and
the probable expenditure of consider
ably more than this sum.
The case had its inception a dozen
or more years ago when Sarah Malone
while working in laundry caught her
hair in some machinery and her scalp
was torn from her head. She was the
sole support of an old mother andtheir
condition was pitiable in the extreme.
For a time the unfortunates were
cared for at Platteville. Then this
became an old story and the two were
taken to the county home at Lancas-
ter There they received every at
tention and one of the finest things
the late matron, Mrs. M. Y. Burris,
ever did was the care she gave the
mutilated and demented Sarah Malone.
A doctors care was necessary almost
daily. Finally the open wound became
tubercuiar and even the trained
nurses refused to care for the case.
But Mrs Burris was there. and Sarah
Malone got the care.
A dispute arose between the county
and Platteville over the extra expense.
The city contended that it was a reg
ular county case. The asylum trust
ees held that that the extra expense
was properly chargeable to the city
The Platteville authorities hung out
for a long time and the county stood
pat Finally Platteville weakened and
accepted the county's offer. No doubt
they would have lost in court anyhow
Sarah Malone died two years ago
and her mother did not survive her
long. The case disturbing the tran
guilty of the county board sessions
for many years is now closed.

SLUMP IN ORE
PRICES CAUSE
OF SHUTDOWN
Hundreds of Miners In
Field Must Look For
Other Jobs.
MAY REOPEN IN 6 MONTHS
(By j. II. Lewis.)

Piatteville The year 1920 has been
one of the most disastrous to the Wis
consin zinc-lead mines in their history.
While most Of the large operating
groups such as the Mineral Point
Zinc Co. the Wisconsin Zinc CO., The
Steel & Tube Co. of America; CORNER
ly Vinegar Hill Zinc Coz; Zine Hill
Mining Co, Frontier Mining Co. and
the Connecting Link, engaged in the
production of zinc ore most OF the year,
very little III the way of profit was
recorded production costs having
been the highest ever known in the
field with prices on a constant de-
cline for high-grade zinc ore. At the
present writing standard 500 zinc
ore is under $50 per ton at which
figure operators cannot produce and
market.
About December LIST the Mineral
Point Zinc Co. decided to shut down
its mines and 500 men were thrown
out of employment. The big oxide
furnaces, acid plant and magnetic
separating plant at Mineral Point con-
tinued operating on restricted
scale going five days week instead
OF seven. Since its mines suspended
the separators have been converting
the low grade zinc ore into high
grade but not a pound OF the finished
ore has been shipped to the smelters
and there is in storage 5000 tons OF
high grade ore, practically tied up
until the company's shelters at De
Pue, ILL.,. have an outlet fo4 the metal.
AS soon as the raw ore has been
treated the entire works at Mineral
Point will close down throwing 200
more men out Of work

DIR LEADTNG INDUSTRY,

In times past the Herald has taken
pains to call attention to the leading
industry of the Lancaster community
and the county. The other day our
reporter collated some statistics along
this line. He found that the three
Lancaster creameries did the biggest
business in their history last year. The
total output in pounds of butter was
S88,719. At so cents pound paid the
farmers for fat this butter was worth
$533,231. 40. These facts could be
amplified at great length as it evil
dences the solid character of our local
industries going on under our noses
without anybody paying much attention

Council Calls
Mass Meeting
Phone Raise

The Lancaster city council went on
record at IT'S meeting last Tuesday as
opposing the increase of rates made
by the Farmers Telephone company
and on motion of Aid Orchard the
mayor appointed d committee, Orch
ard, Beck and Aupperle, to invest
igate the increase and if the commit
tee deemed advisable to call mass
meeting of tie citizens 70 make form
ai protest against said increase.
Aid. Orchard suggested a plan of
combination of the two companies in
Lancaster each concern taking stock
in the new corporation according to
the value of their property. In this
way, he said, the Lancaster subscri-
bers would not be carrying the burden
of maintenance and other charges in
outlying parts of the Farmers system.
The burden of having two systems in
the city would also be done away with.
The Bell company, it is said, would
agree to such a compromise.
Then the council extended the pay
ment of taxes to March 1st.
The city treasurer was authorized
to deposit $4,000 of city funds i'll
$1,000 certificates in any OF the banks
20 draw interest on time deposit.
Bills of $5,821.93 were allowed.
Taxpayers of No. Adams and No.
Elm streets were on motion refunded
oiiing expense incurred the past year.
Messrs. r. J. Sweeney and John Hoff-
man appeared for the aforesaid tax
payers.
On motion city firemen were allowed
SO cents meeting and 50 fire.
On motion all firemen who do not
attend at least so per cent of the
meetings and fires will receive no
compensation for any meetings or
fires.
The fire chief was instructed to in
vestigate the various types OF fire
sirens offered following his content
ion that the present method of giving
fire alarms was inadequate and obsol-
etc.
After more discussion relative to
telephone rates the council did then
adjourn
