AN OLD WISCONSIN
HOMESTEAD HAS AN
ANCIENT SUGAR BUSH

One Of the "old homesteads" report
ed as having been in the same family
for more than sixty years has upon it
a tract Of wood land including a pro-
ductive sugar BUSH, from which the
family still makes it's yearly supply of
sugar, much as the original pioneer
owner did seventy years ago"
Many of the early Wisconsin farms
were famous for their sugar bush"
and in the manuscript census schedu-
les of 1850, 1860 and 1870 it is COM
mon enough for farmers to list among
their products a quantity of maple su-
gar. One farm in Waukesha County, for
example. listed in 1870, 500fb of it.
It has become a lost art, but the farm
report alluded to suggests that it pro-
badly persists in various places. The
State Historical Society would be glad
to learn of other old homesteads hay-
ing a sugar bush.

The question arose whether or not
the county should employ someone
competent to do clerical work
and also report court cases in
the office OF county court or obtain
extra help when necessary, even
though the cost be more. The matter
was referred.
Cities Must Aid
BaraboO, Reedsburg, Ableman,
North Freedom and La Vale build
and maintain their cwn bridges The
question arose whether or not these
municipalities should aid in building
bridges on prospective county high
ways. The matter was referred to
the attorney general and according
to a decision rendered by him the
municipalities must pay their pro-
iportion of the cost.
The question of state and federal
aid for highways came in for discus
sion. 1t developed the county pays
about $4,000 to the state for road
work and receives but $4,000 in re-
turn. Some desired to know what
became of the other $4,000 and if
| it would not be cheaper and better
, to build roads without state or federal
aid. Chairman Andrews pointed to
the fact there was much complexity
and many res trictions when federal
aid was used, also higher wages were
paid on federal Jobs which created
dissatisfaction. 1t also came out there
was not enough money to build the
La Valle-Wonewoc road and that
about $1,000 had been borrowed from
the Ableman job. The opinion was
held by the members some reports
should be made.

some time ago of 1924. 63 as the re-
suit of damages to an automobile, it
being alleged the highway was not
in proper condition. When the board

Dipple presented another claim. rails

At about $3.50 o'clock Saturday
night some citizens returning home
from the picture show discovered
that the barn of Mr.. Carl Ander-

tation the people responded I'M
mediately. However the fire had
gained such headway that it was
impossible 70 save the barn. Mr..

ance and there was SlOO insurance
on the other contents and S100 on

AGED COUPLE BADLY BEATEN
by DRUNKEN FOX-HUNTERS

One of the most deplorable affairs
ever heard of in Ohio County oc-
Cured near Magan, last Sunday
night. Mr.. and Mrs. Yves Hall and
their son, Ernest Hall, and wife.
were returning in a spring wagon to
their home in Dundee after a visit
one of their horses became so ia
tigued that it could go no further.
Two young men assisted them in
getting to an abandoned house be-
tween Magan and Basham school
house. where they spent the night,
intending to make their way to Dun
dee the next day.
The family reports that their
sleep was disturbed at about o.
clock in the morning by the two
young men who had assisted them
the night before Upon arising they
were confronted by these men with
drawn revolvers and. the younger
couple made their escape, believing
that the rowdies would not molest
the older couple. who are about 75
years of age. However, so the old
folks testify, the ruffians severely
beat them with a fox horn and then
left, only to return later in the
night with other drunken fox hunt
ers. The old folks were again bad
ly beaten, according to their testi-
mony. They were conveyed to Dun
dee, Monday morning, where their
wounds were treated by physicians.
II is feared that Mrs. Hall may not
survive.
