WOMAN OUT OF
JAIL BEGINS A
DAMAGE SUIT
MRS. STANCHFIELD TO SUE
PATENAUDE FOR FALSE
IMPRISONMENT

Mrs. Nellie Stanchfeld, the Platte
Vile woman in the custody Of Sheriff
Holmes since February on a 90-day.
sentence for contempt, will finish her
sentence tomorrow, Thursday, May
IL
The minute Mrs .Stanchfield steps
from the door Of the jail, a free
woman, her attors ey, Geo. B. Glenn
entsOn, will begin action against L.
Patenaude, Platteyille hotel man, for
damages on the grounds of persecu
ton and false arrest.
Mrs. Stanchfield will base her case
on illegality surrounding her COM
m.tment. She alleges improper form
N the order for contempt and a claim
OF fact unsubstantiated but carried
out resulting in her loss Of freedom
for ninety long days.
The two parties operate adjacent
hotels at Platteyille and Patenaude,
the original owner of both hostelries,
claims to have sold with restriction
that the Stanchfield property was not
to be operated for meal service. He
brought action and the case was de-
cided twice for Mrs. Stanchfield in
circuit court, to be reversed twice in
the Supreme Court. Since the last
award of verdict to Patenaude Mrs.
Stanchfeld changed Aer hostelry into
corporation and each guest becomes
a club member when he registers.
The legality Of this phase Of the en-
counter has not been decided
The last action against PatenauGe
will be likely tried by another judge
as it will be impossible for Judge
Smalley to hear a case he acted as
presiding judge in.
1t is said that the action for con-
tempt while ostensibly brought to
COMPEL Mrs. Stanchfield to pay $500
attorneys fees for the other side was
IN reality used to force her from OPP
Grating the hotel. Both parties are
stubborn and an amicable settlement
without further litigation is not
looked for

HARD ROUTE TO CHICAGO
PICKED OUT FOR TOURIST

Local motorists, j. Lee Wright, Leo
B. Mccormick and A l.. Sherman,
who went to Chicago Friday after
new Oldsmobile cars, picked return
route that is % miles longer but prac-
tically all cement road.
The route is west via 18th street TO
the Lincoln highway and almost q
straight line to Clinton, Iowa. From
there the route takes good clay road
over Terminal 81 through Maquoketa
to Dubuque and home via Dickeyville
and Tennyson.
The Lincoln highway is cement
clear through Illinois, eighteen feet
wide and in splendid condition. Most
of the Illinois cities, even those
smaller than Lancaster, are fully
nayed with brick or cement.
The cement route is little longer
than the road via Freeport but all
bad roads are avoided and the trip IS
beautiful from a scenic standpoint
II is about PAS miles to Chicago via
Maouoketa and Clinton.

done more than to keep the fire away
from other buildings.
Two horses, some machinery, Is
tons of hay, 1000 bushels of oats and
miscellaneous articles were destroy
ed. Mr.. Hicbin carried insurance,
placing his actual loss at about $1,000
The flare of fame and smoke could
be easily seen from the ridge north of

AZ miles from the city.

BISHOP TALKS
ON CHARACTER
OF CELESTIAL.S
CHINESE CUSTOMS TOLD OF
BY RECENTLY RETURNED
METHODIST PRELATE

Methodist Bishop Francis J. Neon
nell of Pittsburg, Pa, made a fine adj
dress before representative local
audience at the Congregational
church Thursday evening, W h
China" as a subject
Bishop McCOnnelPs address was in
no sense a plea for missionary help
IN the Celestial republic from which
he has but recently returned, al
though he touched upon the possibil
ity and need of Christianizing China.
1nseead he delivered a matter-of-fact
and very human address upon the
personal side of the Chinese charac-
ter and the method in which the old
est nation in the world attacks life
problems
China is SO densely populated that
human labor is cheaper than ma
chimes and nearly all the hard, kill
ing work IS Gone by coolies. as the
lower classes are called. Ancestor
worship means that the first duty of
young husband is to beget sons and
thus implies large populations and re-
sultant struggle for existence.
The bishop marveled at the COM
plete organization in the republic
each family or clan being unit and
the guilds or tOngs dominant in
affairs. 1t means death for man to
oppose his. will to the mandate Of the
guild he belongs to.
Illustrating the power Of the father
in a family Bishop Mcconnell said
that one man who had a worthless
son who was no good to himself or
anybody else, simply took the boy
down to the river and gently drowned
him He deplored such practice IN
this country from the devastating ei-
feet it might have on the population
here. In China nothing was thought
OF the old mans action. He had q
perfect right there to dispose OF his
no-accOunt heir.
The Chinese take a practical view
Of famines and are iethargic over out
side efforts for relief. For instance
an American missionary who secured
a grant of $275,000 from the Red
Cross for famine sufferers, was I'M
able to get rice to them although he
appealed to everybody. Finally he
went in despair to the governor Of
the province 81 don't want you to
think | am callous," the governor
said, "but we look upon a famine or
flood as an act Of providence to re-
duce our population at intervals. You
see there are so many OF us"

TOLL OF REAPER
PAST SEVEN DAYS
CHARLES Y. ROYSTER

Charles v. RoysteT, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Roscoe ROyster was born N
Green county, Illinois, June 4, 1885.
tIe was Of pioneer stock, his early life
beng devoted TO the pioneed work so
necessary to the upouilding Of our
western country His parents moved
to what is now the present site Of
Dubuque about 1S47, later moving
westward 10 Boone county Iowa. He
grew to manhood working on his
fathers prairie farm.
When twenty-five years old, he and
an older brother in response to the
ever becoming call of the West"
tains in quest Of gold to satisfy the
youthful desire of riches. They visit
ed Pixies Peak and Denver and pros
pected in the mountains. 1t fell to
the lot of him to do the "grub-stak-
ing" while his brother ,prospected. In
order to do so he started frefghting
with an OK team between Council
Bluffs and Denver This was IN 1858.
Six weeks was required to make the
trip at the end of which the oxen's
feet were inyariablely worn out and
a new team was required. The trail
was through hostile Indian country,
being necessary to travel in trains,
tying up at night in corral made of
the wagons with guards stationed all
night.
After eighteen months Of this eX-
perieGce he returned to his fathers
home and apprenticed himself to a
blacksmith. Acquiring the rudiments
of the trade he came East to Lancas-
ter and finished his trade in the shop
of Mr.. Budd, who maintained the best
carriage and wagon shop in south
western Wisconsin.
While at Lancaster he met and
married Miss Margaret W. Shappell
in 1862 He later volunteered as a
private in Co. K, 47th Infantry,
Charles Baxter, Captain, and was as
signed to the duties Of a blacksmith.
He was discharged from che army at
Nashville, Tennessee, September IA,
1865. Returning home to Lancaster
he engaged in business for himself at
various places in Grant county, name
ly Patch Grove, North AndOVer and
Glen Haven. In 1887 he went West,
later returning to the home Of his
oldest son, Frank J. Register, who re-
sided at that time in South Dakota.
He has made his home with this son
ever since.
He was brought up as Methodist
and was a sincere and ardent beliey-
err in the Christian doctrine. He has
often remarked to the writer that 1t
did not matter where he was buried
for he was sure wherever it was that
Jesus would find him. His Bible has
been a source of great comfort to
him in his declining years, sustaining
the faith Of a true believer.
He was Sc years, II months old at
the time of his death, and leaves to
mourn him three sons and three
daughters: Frank J. Register Of Bos-
cObel: Louis r. Register of Glen
Haven w. W. Register Of Glenwood,
Mimi; Mrs. Len Anderson of Bosco-
bel; Mrs. D. S. Brooks Of Indepen-
dence, Mo, and Mrs. Lincoln Barr OF
Glen Haven.

TO FINISH NEW BRIDGE
ACROSS PLATTE RIVER

The two span steel bridge across
Platte river on the Dickeyville-P0tosi
road will be finished in short time
according to present indications. The
work was begun last year and the
bridge advanced to its present state
under difficulties owing to high water
and other Instructions. 1t still re-
mains unfinished and traffic across
the stream is diverted to temporary
bridge adjacent This is not any too
safe.
The steel on the new bridge alone
aost $4,000. The steel Orders rest
on three concrete piers that are set
on wooden piles driven through the
bottom to a depth Of 80 feet. The APP
proaches, both from the east and
west, have been Strengthened, requir-
ing considerable excavation work. In
digging down to build caissons for
the new river piers the old ferry boat
landing was struck with the iron
chains still clinging to the posts.
C. E. Rich & Co. will lay the con-
crete floor on the bridge and Go the
concrete work on the spillway 900
feet across the bottom from the north
end of the bridge. This will be start
ed soon, the highway Office said Mon
day.
The bridge crosses Platte in a
heavily wooded and hilly section Of
the county. The roads on either side
represent the last word in Wisconsin
highway construction and the drive
either way on this section of the Lam
Dubuque high line is scenic
and pleasant riding.

MERRY PARTY
IN AUTO CRASH
SATURDAY EVE
GIRL CLOSELY
ESCAPES DEATH-NEW
OLDS ''S" DAMAGED

The Oldsmobile IS" is some" car
but it can't smash through telephone
poles and get away with 1t.
Melvin Oleson, Boscobel boy, son Of
Ever Oleson, garage man, found this
fundamental fact out about o'clock
Saturday night. Melvin with party
of fifty or so Boscobel young people,
members of the junior and senior
high school classes, had been picnick
ing at Schreiner park. The party in
various cars started home after dusk
and it is said that the Oleson car was
driving pretty fast.
When OlesOn reached the turn east
of the Joe Mccoy farm on the Fenni-
more road he was going so fast that
he could not round the sharp corner.
The car went across the road, strik-
ing a telephone pole, and came to a
sudden stop against the bank
The occupants were thrown in a
heap and one girl, Agnes Kinder,
daughter of Lem Kinder Of Boscobel,
hurt. She was pinned under the car
and unconscious. She was take to
the Lancaster hospital at once but
had recovered sufficiently by mid
night to be taken home. That her in
iuries were not serious was indicated
by the fact that she was able to be
about Sunday. One other girl was
slightly scratched and the other oc-
cupants escaped injury
The badly damaged car was towed
to Totman & Funk Bros. repair shop.
The two wheels on the right side
were broken off, the front fender and
radiator smashed and the front end
Of the car sprung. One door was
knocked off, The damage will be
about $500. The telephone pole was
broken into three pieces.

was paid with the understanding that
$1,000 more would be paid upon COM
pletion of abstract and clearance Of
title and mortgage given for the
balance.

farm has been idle.

A WOODLAND DELICACY

Lovers of morels are beginning nov
to look about through the woodlands
for their favorite delicacy. Several
fine large specimens have been pick
ed on the river bottoms but the small
err upland varieties found in woodland
clearing, generally in north expos
ure, are a little later in blooming.
"Morcella Escullenta," or morels,
are "some" dish If you don't think
so-pick few and try them. At this
time of the year there is no other
fungus similar to "the edible fungus
the upper part of which is covered
with a reticulated and pitted hymen-
ium." And that's that.

amount allotted any of the central
group of states. Our total allotment
is 1,177.S miles, also more by far than
the amount allotted any state. The
most evident reason for this is the
willingness of Wisconsin to meet out
side appropriations, dollar for dollar.
Our latest cash allowance from the
Government is S2.6S0,23O.
