WRECKED
AT FAIR GROUND

A Milwaukee aeroplane was wreck
ed just east of the Playground when
landing was made on Saturday.
The ground was soft and instead of
rolling along one wheel went into the
ground, driving the air from the tire
The propeller was broken off; also
one of the wings was badly broken
Onlookers thought the plane was going
over but righted itself. 1t will be ne
cessary to obtain new propeller and
other parts before the machine can
take to the air again.
r. G. Conant of Westfield, who car
ried passengers during the fair sea-
son, did a landoffice business on Sun
day. The plane was busy taking
passengers into cloudland. The price
was $500 for one passenger or $3.50
for two.
Mr. Conant was flyer in the war
and is now an attorney. He fills en-
gagements in other towns, using his
plane. BY so doing he is able to give
quick service.

BOY WHO STOLE
AUTO APPEARS
BEFORE JUDGE
Other Two Prisoners Still Refuse
to Plead Guilty; Hail From
Winona, MINI.

Otto Meyer, one Of the three men
held in county jail here for the theft
of a Buick automobile from Henry
Schultz of Reedsburg, appeared be
fore Judge James H. Hill on Thurs
day. The boy claims to be IL years
CT age and is understood although
he is quite evidently of average in
telligence.
According to Meyers story, he
was born in Winona, Mimi, and met
Chester Pease, one of his com-
panions,, while Pease who is the
older man, was doing time in a jail
there. Pease is a poet evangelist,
he had in his possession when ar.
rested satchel full of notebooks OF
his poems.
When Pease was released from jail,
Meyer took him to his home and at
ter remaining there for a time, the
two set out for Detroit to get work
At Wyeville, Meyer says they met
Frank Huan, another youth of IL,
who decided to go along with them
Meyer claims this to be his first
acquaintance with Huan.
Bumming on the railroad proved
to unattractive compared with mo-
toring to Detroit, so the car was
stolen in Reedsburg but unfortunate
ly none of the three knew much
about car and the machine was
backed in the Baraboo river at La
Vale. They were unable to remove
the Buick so made another attempt
to steal car but this one refused
to go further than a few blocks and
the trio was arrested as they were
'hoofing it" for other parts.
They will be held in the jail here
until information from the Winona
authorities has been received. Both
,Huan and Pease refuse to plead
guilty to the charge of stealing the
car. They have been questioned con-
cerning the attempted robbery of
the State Bank of Plain on Sunday
night but nothing has been learned
from them concerning the bank en-
trance.

At Baraboo
On Travels

Raymond E. Bell, traveller, author
He comes from the island of Balka,
$50 miles from Trinidad, north of
the coast of South America. The is
land contains only 500 acres, quar-
ter section more than a square mile.
His father went to the island in the
government service and is now with
rubber company. There are only lib
people on the island and the thirteen
are all members of his fathers family
Of course frost is unknown, rubber
is one of the chief products.
A longing to see the world set
the young man afoot number of
years ago and he is still going. Up to
the present he has walked about
$4,000 miles. Prior to the war he
had travelled much and when the
storm broke in 1914 he found himself
in German prison camp. He escaped
came to America, joined the army
and in the fighting was wounded 80
times. He wears silver knee cap
and has many marks to show that he
was in the thickest of the battle
at the front. After the war he found
himself attacked by consumption
and the doctors told him he had but
few weeks to live. He took to the
road, sleeping in the open and living
as near nature as he could. Health re
turned and now he expects to live a
long time. AS to health he observes
three things, he told the pupils at
the high school in an address this
morning when introduced by Super
| intendent A. c. Kingsford. They are:
1. Care in water he drinks.
| 2. Choice as to food he eats.
8. The company he keeps.
He places as much store on health
/ from the companions he has as to
what he eats, he ys-excellent adj
vice to the young
For some days he has been at Trem-
peleau studying the Indian remains
about Trempeleau mountain. He is
I convinced the Indians who lived there
were sun worshipers and gives his
reasons therefor He found Indian
sketches on the walls of caves in
the vicinity and will prepare an ar
ticle for the Sunset magazine on the
subject. He also writes for the Geo
graphic.
Mr.. Bell has walked over much OF
the United States, Europe, Africa and
Asia. He has the interest of a shoe
company with him and is compen-
stated from what he produces with his
pen. He has walked as far as 81
miles in day but his usual stretch
is about 20 miles.
From here he goes to Lake SUI
perior, the source OF the Mississippi,
into Canada, a winter trip with
sledges into the Arctic, back to
Quebec or Montreal. then to Europe,
and on around the world. He hopes
to be in Baraboo in 1888,

Gave Them Strychnine Filled
Candy And Sent Them OFF in
Car To Be Wrecked, Claim
DRIVER ONLY EATS PART
OF CANDY SO PLOT FAILS
Woman, A Pitiable Nervous Wreck
Tells Her Story to the Pastor
of Whitewater

Il gave my four children strychnine
filed candy as they were about to
drive away into the country, believing
that as the poison took effect the
automobile would be hopelessly
wrecked and the deaths of the chill
dren laid to the wreck"
In those 40 words Mrs. Myrtle
Schaude, So year old Whitewater wild
ow, Sunday explained again to Dist.
Atty. Alfred L. Godfrey, OF Walworth
county, the Economical plot to murdeI
her offspring after having murdered
her husband with poison two and a
half years ago. A charge OF first de-
gree murder is to be made Monday.
Mrs. Schaule, in explaining the
events of the swift moving seconds
after she had put her black plan into
o. GRAFTON by giving the children
their little treat" explained that
when she saw Ralph, 6 throw part
of his candy away and complain of
it's unpleasant taste, she saw her plan
of having the automobile wrecked
and the children deaths thus account
ed for falling.
Saves Baby From Death
Ralph was driving the machine. He
had eaten only part of the candy
maybe, not enough of the
candy to kill him, she thought. He
the might be left to tell of his
mothers having given the children
the candy which made them sick and
produced te commissions in his own
which caused him to lose
control of the car, wrecking it, she
reasoned.
Delbert, 13, and Mae, 9, had only
nibbled at the coating of the candy
but Lawrence she saw had taken
some Of his piece into his mouth.
She rushed to the side of the car and
Selling Lawrence stuck her fingers
down his throat to cleanse the deadly
poison from his mouth. If all could
not die at once, she wanted them all
alive. 1t was keen reasoning, rather
than mother love, that caused her
to act as she did in saving the baby.
A neighbor revealed to investiga-
tors Sunday that Mrs. Schaude had
attempted to borrow his automobile
Friday evening in which to send her
children into the country ostensibly
for garden produce for her normal
school boarding house kitchen, but
actually to be wrecked in the death
plot, rather than sacrifice her own
machine.
Tells Story to Pastor
The woman, who was a pitiable
nervous wreck after she had broken
down at midnight Saturday ia her
cell in the Walworth county jail at
Elkhorn and confessed, regained some
of her composure Sunday morning
and was take throught recital OF
her horror-flled story.
Rev. Allen Adams, pastor Of the
Methodist Episcopal church at White
water heard the woman's story.

Recently Anita Stewart startled
the film colony by declaring that the
only kind OF a girl worth while was
the girl who had to work hard; and
that industrious application to work
was the only insurance star had

-proYe her contention, the star, who
has always been featured in society
life, secret service plots or romantic
stories, set to work to make a pic
Eure which would portray the kind
sof character she thought was most
SWorth while.
She not only made the picture of
the working girl, but she declares
sdflat working at ir was the hardest
mink she ever did in her life. 1t

O'clock every morning and working
attirough the day, with a half hour
ter luncheon, until six in the eve
ming. The endless walking around
Sthe studio, Tearing new trades and
eultivating different mannerisms for
her part, she declares, created the
most strenuous task ever assigned
TO her.
The picture is Rose o. the Sea-"

perience to thoroughly enjoy each
minute OF the performance.


Not merely the acting and the
scenic investiture interested the wo-
men at the first showing of "Only
A Shop Grip last evening at the
Majestic Theatre.
Miss Haylor, who plays the part of
one of Charles E. Blaney's heroines
in this screen version of an old time
stage success, appears in one of the
scenes wearing Paris gowns of un-
usual splendor, even for the screen.
They are worn as part of the ac-
ton of the picture, but large num-
bers of women stayed for another
show just to have a second peek at
them.
Miss Taylor, who lis a famous
beauty as well as a talented player,
wears the gowns as though to the
manor born.
While it seems hardly fair to COM
ment at length on one small portion
of the picture it would take entirely
too much space to dwell at length on
the excellent performance given by
Mac Busch, Wallace Berry, James
Morrison, Tully Marshall, Clair Du-
brey, William Scott, Willard Louis
and Baby Josephine Adair.
The net result of the picture is an
evenings entertainment that en-
braces swift action, love hate,
envy, generousity selfishness, self
sacrifice and so on, through the
whole range of human emotions.
Only A Shop Girl" is a picture
that will be universally enjoyed,
