':SpecR;s" Visit to
Topeka MayAwait
Coming of Spring

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec 6. - The
immediate probability of "Speck's"
occupation of the gubernatorial barn
in Topeka, is doubtful, according to
Governor-elect Jonathan Davis. owner
of the COW that has taken her place
in the Kansas hall of fame along with
'Laddie'' the presidential canine.
THE haymow was bare when
climbed up there the other day. said
the governor. "and with the present
shortage of state funds and the uncer-
tainty of future appropriations. 1
would rather leave 'Speck' down on
the farm than have her face long
hard winter"
The governor says that he will bring
the bovine to Topeka at the first sign
of spring. however, and effect dou-
BILE saving by pasturing his COW on
the front lawn of the executive man
sion, eliminating feed bills and the ex-
pense of moving the lawn.

LET 'EM SEE DEAD
Morgue Visits Effective Against
Reckless Driving.
Fines Alone Will Not Stop Au-
tOmobiIe Death, Menace.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Heavier fines, jail
sentences and trips thru moreues and
hospitals to view the dead and injured
victims of reckless automobilists are
becoming effective in many parts of
the middlewest to curb the steadily
mounting toll of auto victims, a digest
from the report of several states
shows.
Fines alone, the report indicate, are
not proving effective. In Chicago and
Cook county, despite heavy fines, the
death toll in automobile accidents for
the fiscal year ending Nov 80 was 1856
lives, as compared with $50 last year,
and 542 the year before. There were
seventy-five automobile deaths last
month
In Louisville fines have also failed,
officials said. One police judge there
imposes fines of So for each mile ex-
ceeding the limit per hour and adds
Jail sentences if the prisoner was in
tOxicated.
A successful campaign was launch
ed at Detroit more than year ago
when Judge Charles L. Bartlett began
sending speeders to jail for terms of
one to fifteen days. Among these SEN
tences was John Duval Dodge, wealthy
young man who served five days.
Detroit Is Behaving.
Recently speeding returned to De-
troit and Judge Bartlett began con-
Quoting offenders thru the morgues
and hospitals to see the results of
speeding. Arrests the week after the
trips started dropped from 76 to 25.
In Cincinnati Jail sentences have
been invoked, and in some cases driv-
ers' licenses have been revoked.
Cleveland. with I16 deaths and
2,3S6 injuries in traffic accidents up

''The enlightened employer interests
himself IN the conservation of the
health of his employees and in their
safety, so far as he can provide them,''
says the Chicago Tribune.
For many years the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) has followed this
plan as part of its established policy.
This Company maintains an excep-
tionally high standard of safety in
surance. 1t not only provides safety
devices but by encouraging the organ
ization of safety committees in all of its
ref1nerieS, it has been successful in re-
ducing accidents in its refneries to a
point which actually is below that
of many businesses naturally less
hazardous.
AS an example of its efforts in this
direction is cited the fact that az!
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) re-
fneries are provided with elaborate fire
fighting devices, of which live steam
The Directors of the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) recognize that an
employe who believes himself to be
we'll treated and secure is a better
worker and is more interested in giving
full service both to the Company and
to the public than is the employe who
lacks this feeling of security.
The management of this Company
believes that every constructive measure
for the benefit of its employees is def
mite factor in lowering the cost of
doing business, in securing greater eff
ciency, and ultimately lowering prices
of its products to the consumer
Hazard reduction is but one item,
though an important one, in the Com
pany's complete program of attention
to the well l-being of its employees.
Other items include liberal compensa-
ton, good working conditions, steady
work, and insurance in SO far as is
possible against unemployment. In
addition this Company has devised an
annuity system to provide for the
protection of those who have grown
old in its service.
The efforts of the management
to provide ways and means of elimin-
ating the dangers of highly hazardous
occupation is reflected in the enthu-
siasm of the workers and the whole
hearted endorsement of 26, $50 stock
holders, not one of whom owns as
much as 10 percent of the total.

OH TREE AT PRAIRIE DU CHEZ IN WHICH
Bl4ACM liANA HID FOR HREE DAYS HAS BEEN
BLOWN DOWN DURING FIERCE STORM, RECENTLY

Black Hawk tree, which stood IN
the center of the main thorough re
leadh & out of Prairie du Chi 4r, is no
more. 1t has been slowly dying for
years, and was blown down in the
fierce storm that passed ov ar that
section. The history of this Id tee
dates way back to the earl 7 settle
ment of Prairie du CHEN, il. all pro-
liability before the 18th century. The
early pioneers who first located in
what is now Prairie du Chen. tell us
that the ground now occupied by most
of the city was an island and that
there was a shallow channel on this
side of the bluffs. Black Hawk tree
was. originally a cottonwood stake
driven into the ground, to which the
boatmen and voyageurs tied their can
oes or boats. 1t was named after Chief
Black Sparrow Hawk, the treacherous
Sac Indian, following the battle of
Bad AK, thirty-fve miles north of

CAR CONSUMED
ON LODI ROAD
EIachine Ablaze In a Moment ;
Driver of Car Has Narrow Es.
cape From Serious Accident

On Thursday evening as j. c. West
mont of Sank City was splitting the
air two miles east of Prairie du Sac,
on route so, the Lodi road, his ma
chine went over the bank and was
consumed. To the bystandeTs he said
he was going along at a lively clip
when suddenly the car went down
the bank, landing in hole. The leap
of the machine was so complete it
left no tracks down the incline. About
the time the car struck the earth 1t
caught on fire and was a roaring blaze
in almost a breath. The gasoline
tank did not explode, the liquid es-
Gaping and disappearing in flames.
The car was a Stearns-Knight seven
passenger, and almost new. The
flames enveloped the car so quickly
the driver did not have time to re-
move his coat from the seat, other
property from the car, or extra tire
carried.
The car had been insured but the
policy had BEEN Cancelled on account
Of the extra tire not being included.
About fifty cars soon lined the high
way in the vicinity of the blaze and
the neighbors hurried from the farms
near by. The smoke could me seen
over the bluffs in Prairie du Sac and
the observers wondered what farm
house or barn was burning, A number
of cars going toward Prairie du Sac
offered to fake the owner on board but
he chung to the scene in the first
place to keep the blaze from spread
ing and in the second place because
it was hard to realize the loss was
complete.
H. H. Hubert was one of those who
happened along as the car was burn
ing and reports nothing was left ex-
cept the twisted iron.
All in all the driver had a narrow
escape from a serious accident. Mr..
Westmont is connected with the trac-
tor company at Sank City.

their wives and Oh dren, we're either
killed or taken prisoners. Black
Hawk was brought to Prairie du Chen
and canfined in the then Fort Craw-
ford, being captured on August 2,
1882. Confinement went hard with
him and he failed fast. Having many
liberties, he one day disappeared
from the garrison and hid in the
branches of this tree for three days
The trunk of this cottonwood at that
time could not possibly have been
more than six or eight inches i'm
diameter but it grew to be more than
three feet in diameter and has been
a landmark to the community. When

HAS ONE "
But TRn& TO
GET ANOTHFRE.
Former Service Man W. VIZ
German Maiden Who Makes
He Home in North Freedom

Wedding bells will not ring for
Henry Knabel, Cincinnati, Ohio,
World war veteran, who is now in the
county bastile in Baraboo with
Johanna Hammer, North Freedom,
his bride, to-have been. Henry" be-
came aware of the abrupt ending of
his marriage plans when an arm of
the law, Sheriff H. G. Neitzel. reach
ed out from Baraboo Wednesday and
caught him in Madison just as he and
Johanna were passing through the
Capital City enroute for Chicago,
with the girls money.
A marriage license was obtained
from County Clerk +. A. Cooper by
the former service man who next
went to FIR. Z. c. ORei,ly to tie The
marriage vows. According to the
usual procedure, however, in the
Catholic faith the approaching mar
riage is announced from the pulpit.
AS no one knew the would-be-groom
in BarabOo the announcement was
made in Cincinnati. Ohio, also.
There Knabeps sister heard of the
approaching affair and hurriedly sent
word to the parents of the bride-to-
be in North Freedom that her brother
was already married, it is said, he
having sworn to love, cherish defend,
protect, support, etc. a little German
maiden across the sea while he was
still in the army of occupation. The
sister is now on her way to Baraboo
with proof of her statements, it is
claimed.
Sheriff H. G. Neitzel received a
hurried call to stop the pair at Bara-
boo who were then on their way to
Chicago to be married but the train
was out of Baraboo before the sheriff
let go of the receiver. A description
of the couple was telephoned to the
Madison authorities who took them
off sos, the train that leaves Baraboo
at 1928.
Knabel became acquainted with the
girl and her parents last June while
all were enroute to the L. S. from
Germany He learned where the fam
lily would live and correspondent with
the daughter several times after
Miss Hammer was employed at the
Kirkland Hotel at Devils Lake this
summer and Knabel came there for a
visit during the summer and propos-
ed matrimony. The young lady has
not learned to speak English as yet.
The family is related to Peter Ratzek
of North Freedom. The bride-to-have-
been had in her possession about SIS
when she started on the elopment
trip and $50 OF this was taken from
"Her Sheik", by Sheriff NeitZel who
now has the money in his possession
Johanna today told Sheriff Neitzel
she was glad the identity of her lover
was brought 70 light before the mar
riage occurred.
