KILLER IN JAIL
AT DARLINGTON
Goes to Chicago, Makes
Suicide Threat, Then
Surrenders to Sheriff
at Hazel Green.

DARLINGTON, Wis-Monroe RAJ
der, New Diggings miner and killer OF
Elmer Ellsworth, New Diggings hotel
man, is in Jail here, repentant and
ready to take his medicine.
RAIDER was found Friday in a small
miners cabin near Hazel Green. He
gave himself up to the sheriff without
resistance in accordance with a pre-
vious agreement made with his wife.
The killing took place Saturday
night a week ago following a braWl IN
which cards and moonshine played a
part. RAIDER disappeared in a Ford
coupe and efforts to locate him were
fruitless. Wednesday Herman Sold
thorpe, editor of the Cuba News, re-
ceived letter from RAIDER, penned
from Chicago. RAIDER said he was
sorry he had killed Ellsworth and in
tended to commit suicide. Mrs. RAIDER
and a friend started for Chicago ex7
pecting to return with his remains.
At Galena Mrs. RAIDER and her COM
panion met Sheriff Simmons CT La
fayette county. While talking the
matter over they were approached by
Owen Sullivan of Hazel Green VINO
told them he knew where RAIDER was.

the fugitive.
Mrs RAIDER and the friend, Leo
Piper, approached the shack. RAIDER
met his wife and friend with tears
and offered to give himself up to the
sehriff at once. Simmons came in
shortly after and placed the man I'M
der arrest.
Mr.. and Mrs. RAIDER have six chill
dren. RAIDER came to the mining dis
trict from Tennessee a couple of years
ago. He is known as a capable miner
but man of quarrelsome nature. 1t

Lancaster latteville
Road Link Finds Support.

A fine booster meeting was held at
PlatteVille Tuesday night in favor Of
permanent hard road between the
county metropolis and the county seat.
The Platteviile boosters were agree
ably surprised to find a large Lancas-
ter delegation present and in full &C
cord with their views.
This is as it should be. There is not
the slightest reason for jealousy and
i'll feeling between people of the two
cities. Old and foolish enmities
should be and gradually are being
forgotten. Instead of wasting our
energies on hate and suspicion we can
work together for constructive things.
The Good Roads movement is part Of
the new age of cooperation. The old
age of back-biting was part of isola-
ton and provincialism. AS transpor-
tation grows, so grows the spirit of
brotherhood. The next town, close by
now, becomes a neighbor. We extend
our frontiers and meet theirs in d
warm handclasp.
The ancaster-Platteville hard road
link is but beginning. 1t is entire
ly possible to extend the system so
that Grant county is spanned by hard
roads and these roads should center
at the county seat, as the spokes do
in wheel A wheel, by the way, is
a fine example of cooperation.

The Peoples Voice
LOOK OUT FOR HUMAN BEINGS:


How about tuberculosis in cattle?
We were at a slaughter house recent
ly, and all the cattle we saw slaugh-
tered were reactors to the T. B. test
and they all had it in various forms.
One COW in particular, the inspector
called our attention to, had it in the
acute stage, tumors on the inside of
the ribs and various parts of the body,
in the glands, especially her lungs
were a mass of tumors from which
the puss would flow when cut open. [
was informed that children had been
drinking the milk all summer.
The veterinarian said anything that
used the milk would get it. Why not
have a law compelling all milk, but
ter and cheese pasteurized, and all
cattle T. B. tested?
We also saw hogs butchered that
had it and were retained for U. S. in
spection. The idea of our Legislature
making a law to pasteurize butter
milk for hogs and not for human be-
ings!

Tax Rate About Same as Last Yea

The. Lancaster tax rate for 1924, %
be collected Jan. 1st., will probably
be about the same as last year. The
city council voted budget of $43,-
900 at its October meeting which is
a little less than year ago. The
school tax for the district is $36,43791,
but from this is taken the amounts
assigned to parts Of North and South
Lancaster townships in the district.
To be added, however, is the fixed tax
for school bonds amounting to SILL
666.66 per annum. The total school
tax, therefore, will be around $4,000.
AS So. Lancaster has not reported in
yet the Lancaster school district clerk,
Mr.. Granville, is unable to furnish an
exact figure on his end of the budget.
From all indications Lancaster taxes
will hover around three cents on the
dollar of valuation which is about the
same as a year ago.

PROTECT THE BIRDS

Don't kill the birds. If there were
no birds there wouldn't be anything
else, for the air and ground would be
so filled with harmful insects of all
kinds that they would devour every
bit of vegetation of whatsoever kind
or nature, and then mankind and all
forms of animal life would die for
lack Of food. Birds were placed here
as a balance in nature to keep down
the pests, and they do it properly, if
let alone. Let us bear this in mind
and protect, rather than kill the use
full, harmless birds.-Nature Lover.
