Lake Roesch Has
Battle With Bull

Lake Roesch, Hurricane farmer, is
still abstaining from work as the re-
suit of an encounter with q 5-year-old
Holstein bull in his pasture Sunday a
week ago.
Mr.. Roesch essayed to repair a
snap holding the bull to a grazing
rope and while kneeling the ami
NAL lunged at him. Lake was knocked
down and the bull was playfully put
ting his head on Lakes body at the
same time lifting his front feet in the
air, when Mr.. Roesch, who thought
his last hour had come and was Won
dering how they would find his body,
made a quick lunge himself and put
one hand in the bulls nose ring and
a couple of fingers in the bulls eye.
The bull began to see that the joke
was on him. and raised his head pull
ling Roesch to his feet. Lake took adj
vantage of the fact that one snap still
held the bull to the hitch rope and
staggered to the fence where he was
picked up and taken home in a car.
He still bears cuts on his face and
body bruises and hasn't worked since
the party The bull weighs ton or
better and it is merest luck that this
article can be treated lightly instead
of mournfully recounting the virtues
and fine character of the late lamented
Lake Roesch of Hurricane.

HIS ALL BY FIRE
House on Joseph Wright Place
Burned Friday.-Tenant Loses
Nearly All He Possesses.
SUBSCRIPTION PAPERS OUT

John Temple, tenant farmer living
on the Jos. Wright farm, known as tn"
old Bidwell place, in Little Grant, lost
nearly all his earthly possessions in
blaze Friday noon that started pre-
sumably from chimney sparks igniting
the roof in the high wind of Friday.
The blaze was noticed about 11:30
by Mrs. Temple who was home with
her youngest child. Two other child
rem were in school and Mr.. Temple
and Mr. Wright had gone to an ad-
joining farm to do some work.
Mrs. Temple ran to the barn calling
for help but her screams for aid could
not be heard by the two men. Neigh
boris on the Van Malta farm adjoining
heard her cries and went to the burn
ing home after calling Wright and
Temple back.
The house was a total loss. 1t was
valued at $4,000 with $4,000 insurance.
Mr.. Temple lost practically every
thing he owned in the way of furni-
ture He formerly lived at Cuba City,
where he worked in the mines, coming
to Little Grant last spring. This fall
he was in the best shape he had ever
been to go through the winter but now
has to face terrific setback. Papers
were being circulated Monday to help
the family out and various benefits are
being arranged. This is a case where
charity is we'll deserved.

OLD-TIMER DESCRIBES
CONDITIONS IN GERMANY

Edward Doscher Of Platteville, who
is visiting in Germany, writes of his
"trip and visit.
Had fine trip to England, the
water was warm and quiet. Going
across the North Sea it was very cold
as it is in Germany.
Wheat and barley are still green
and it is raining nearly every day.
Prices here are high but there is
plenty Of work. Wages are from 5 to
so marks an hour. Farmers have
plenty, but it is the poor people who
live in the cities that suffer. I will
quote you prices so that you have
some idea Of prices here: pound of
potatoes, marks; pound Of chicken,
100 marks; butter, 29O; eggs, 105;
quart of milk, rs; coffee, 600; tallow,
800; suit of clothes, $4,000 marks.
Our dollar equals 1,475 marks, so
you see we Americans can live a long
time on one dollar"

Separate Jury Trials.
ANCIENT ADAGE is PROVEN

The old adage: you Can't Tell
What a Jury Will Do" was amply
proven in double circuit court trial
yesterday when Mike Kurt and VIM.
Darlington, jamestown saloon part
ners, faced two separate juries and
were given entirely different doses for
alleged violation Of the state prohibit
ton act
Kurt, tried first acted as his own
counsel, refusing to make affidavit
that he was without funds but infer
ring that lawyers were too high"
The state through Sheriff Holmes and
Prohibition agents Ben Parkinson and
Fred Schultz stated that on the night
of Sept. 1st they raided the Kurt-Bar-
rington saloon at White City, finding
large jug Of particularly villainous
moonshine in woodpile There the
state rested.
Attorney" Kurt as counsel for
himself, waived cross examination but
blandly told the jury that he knew
nothing about the liquor, how it got
there, when it got there or what it
was there for The jury after four
hours deliberation found him guilty.
Mr.. harrington Jared better. The
case against him was identical with
Mr.. Kurt's and his defense was SINH
lar. He also knew nothing. After
four hours deliberation Mr.. Barring
tons jury found him Not Guilty" and
there you are.
Judge Smalley Immediately SEN
fenced Mr.. Kurt. Mike was given his
choice of $1,000 fine or six months in
Jail and required to furnish a $500
bond to keen the peace meaning the
liquor law, forever and day And
there you are again.
There were two women on the first
jury Mrs. Arch Gibson of Cuba City

FARMER ESCAPES HOLD-UP
BY USING A CLEVER RUSE

Pra du Chien-Fred Freymiller of
Marion township, living across the
Wisconsin river from Wauzeka, took
a load of hogs to Woodman, and after
delivering them to the buyer put the
cash in his pocket. On the way home
he met a woman along the road, car
rying a basket, who asked for a ride,
and he obligingly stopped to let her
occupy the vacant seat beside him.
He had not gone far, however, until he
noticed that the lady" had extremely
large hands, and that between the bot
tom of her dress and the big shoes,
overalls protuded Fred is one Of
those kind of fellows who like to car
ry their coin in their Jeans" and dis
play it in public places, such as auc-
ton sales, so he caught on" after
thinking hard about the little wad in
his trousers pocket, and the probable
object of the passenger on board, so
he accidentally" dropped his whip
and asked the flair maid" to climb
down and get it for him-which "she"
did. But Fred dashed the horses with
his lines as soon as 'she" got out, and
went pell nell down the road until he
was out of sight and out Of the reach
of his companion. Then he examined
the basket left in the box and found
that it contained two revolvers. Mr..
Freymiller will probably take more
stock in banks hereafter, because it is
dangerous to carry so much money on
the person, and a checking account in
a bank is much safer and more con-
venient-EXchange

Heiidenwegg Case

The case of the state VS. Billie Held
enWegg, burglary with intent to COM
nit larceny, was dismissed in circuit
court yesterday. Heidenwegg was ac-
cused by irwin Ward, Patch Grove
farmer. 1t was alleged that Mr.. Ward,
waking in the night during July,
heard someone proving in the house.
AS he went to investigate the stranger
departed so suddenly that he went
right through a screen door. In the
yard he ran into a chicken coop and
there dropped a flashlight, club four
feet long and gun. Wrapped around
the fashlight was a note and on the
note Mr. HeidenWeggs address and
name. This led to his arrest. He
was at that time constable at Patch
Grove, position which he immediate
ly relinquished, going to Iowa where
he is now employed, The charge of
burglary was dropped and charge of
carrying concealed weapons lodged
against the former ''constabul," who
no doubt now feels that he has hold
of the law from the wrong end.
