man Clifford E. Randall has been se-
cured as legal counsel for the former
deputy sheriff. "He will have in court
number of witnesses who will testify
that ne could not have been a member
Oh the party in question on the night
OF the alleged attacks. These will be-
persons whose testimony cannot be-
questioned and who would have no rea-
son for supporting framed-up' alibi."
Attorneys for Better maintain that
his case is entirely different from that
OF Nels Madison and Chester Kramer.
the other two members of the trio, who
were each bound over for trial under
bonds of $4,000 From the first, Better
has maintained that he was not a MEM
Der of the party; the other two ara
alleged to have made statements in the
office of the district attorney, admit
ting part of the girls story, but Better
aid not make any such statement.
Claims His Innocence.
Attorney Kuehnl emphasized the fact
that his client was interestedsin finding
Out how his naene had bsen drrkzs,,
into the affair, inasn. IS he claims
innocence and that for some reason or
other he has been nap1e IS the Il ird
member of the party. II is maintained
that Better has never been seen bv the
complaining witness since the time of
the alleged attack and that she will
have an opportunity in the court room
to state whether or not he was the
driver of the car.
The defendant maintains that he is
the victim of an unfortunate coinci-
dence," maintained his attorney. "The
fact that his father owns an automo-
bile similar to the one alleged to have
been used by the trio is used against
him. He says that from his investiga-
ton the girl named the third member
of the trio as Better as a result of a
conversation between Madison and Kra-
mer, when the latter was said to have
declared that Better, deputy sheriff,
was at the wheel and that everything
was all right"
Questions Girls Story.
Betzer's claim will not call into ques-
ton other parts of her story which do
not affect this defendant. 1t will, how
ever, question that part of the story
which declared that Better was the
third member of the party. The de-
Tense maintains that it is not their
duty to produce the third member of
the trio but merely to maintain the
innocence Of the defendant.
On the other hand, the state con-
tends that it will have eorroborating
testimony to that given by the COM
planning witness and that proper iden-
LITIGATION of Better as the third mem
Der Of the trio will be made.

"The Rhymes Of a
Want AID Man"

The writer has been really
surprised at the number of poets
there are in Kenosha and how
readily they have helped make
this jingle contest the splendid
success it is.
The great number that have
made the necessary effort to
write these little jingles and to
send them in shows how much
interest they are taking in the
contest, and makes it very graft
flying indeed to the Want AID
Takers at the News office.
Sometimes we are sorry that
we can only use one day, we
have so many good ones we
would like to print, but we are
doing the best we can and the
others will get their dollar some
day, so don't miss looking at the
jingle every day

All Like Giibert's Work

Newspapers all over the 9Th
district are saying some mighty
nice things about Congressman
Ralph Gilbert, who has just an
nounced his candidacy for re-
election subject to- democratic
primary. Few hrst-term repre-
sentatives have made as fine a
record anywhere, anytime, as the
brilliant young son Of Shelby
county. His many friends here
in Madison will read with inter-
est what some of the district pa
pers are saying. The Shelby
News, published at his home
where the people know him best,
had this:
Representative Ralph Gilbert
makes his formal announcement
in the News this morning for re-
election to Congress from the
Eighth Kentucky district, sub
iect to the action of the demo-
cratic party.
AS the date for the primary is
only a little more than a month
distant it is practically certain
that he will have no democratic
opposition, but instead will re-
ceive a merited endorsement for
a second term from his party.
Judge Gilbert has been our
Representative in Congress only
a little over fifteen months and
despite the handicap of serving
while the opposing political party
is overwhelmingly in the MAORI
ty, he is making an unusually
good record for his first term.
With less than a years service
to his credit he was elevated to
the position of ranking member
Of the important District of Co.
lumbia committee over represen-
tatives Of much longer expert
ence. His good work is. attract
ing attention of his colleagues
and should the democrats be so
fortunate as to regain control of
the House in the fall election he
is certain to take high position

stead. As far as can be. learned,
Gen. Terrazas is the sole sur
vivor of the battle of Chihuahua
City, famous in the annals of
Mexican history.
Gen. Terrazas had II children
and most of them are living.
His wife died in Los Angeles in
1919 at the age of SO.
The general declares he will
live to be 100. He prays, he said,
to outlive his arch enemy, Fran
cesco Villa, so in the next world
he can "rebuke him for his sins. "
Villa is not so yet, and is much
stronger than Terrazas.

TERRAzkS HAS
GATH BIRTHDAY
(By Associated Press

Chihuahua City, Chihuahua,
Mexico, June 24-Cards, letters
and kilograms from many places
in the United States and Mexico
were received here today by Gen.
Luis Terlazas, tokens of esteem
and greetings on this day, his
94th birthday anniversary.
Congratulations did not come
by mail and wire alone. hundreds
of persons greeted him face to
face today. Many among them
were Mexicans who had known
the aged general all their lives.
A penniless orphan when ten
wears old, Gen. Terrazas first
learned the value of hard work.
Then he became a soldier, an Of
ficer in the army, governor of
MeXico's largest state, Mexi-
can patriot and statesman,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES e
He is spending his 9th birth
day anniversary in the city of
his birth, having been an exile
for seven years, but who since.
has been welcomed back to his
native land.
Since 1920 he has been living
here in his old palatial mansion.
He still daily conducts a little
business at least. He still main
tains an office and goes to and
from home daily. During the !
years of his exile he lived in FL
Paso, Texas, and Los Angeles.
He was driven out by Villas ar
my, after the death of one Of his
sons, who was captured by Gen.
Villa and held in prison until he
died from exposure. His exile
began in 1913 and in 1920, Presi-
dent Oregon welcomed him
back to Mexico.
The generals first notable eX-
plot was in 1886 when he led a
force of Mexicans against Chi
huahua City, which was them
held by the French under Maxi
MILAN. Although greatly out
numbered, Terrazas' men took
the city and turned the tide in
the revolution against French in
vaders which was under way in
Chihuahua by Benito Juarez.
Before this time, however. he
had made a success as a soldier,
and as chief of police of Chihua-
hua City. His first business sue
cess was managing butcher shops
here. After. service as police
chief, he became mayor and then
was elected governor. For; years
his candidacy, if such it couldsboee.
called, was never opposed. q
Section after section of land
became his after and his follow
erS had settled on it undisputed.
Many grants were given to him
by the government. At times he
owned more than half the state
of Chihuahua, and on railroad
train a person could travel day
I! and night and never get entirely
/ across his lands. His estate was
/ estimated at various times be-
