Cheese Day
In Monroe

Mr.. and Mrs J. J. Pfannstiehl and
Mr.. and Mrs. F. j. Efinger motored
to Monroe on Tuesday to attend the
revival of Green County's Cheese Day
The affair was attended by twenty
five thousand persons and nearly this
number of cheese sandwiches was Civ
en- away.
A parade, three miles long, which
consumed an hour in passing the re-
viewing stand where officials Of the
county and leading dairymen and
cheese manufacturers we're stationed,
was the feature of the day.
Two big dances and wrestling shows
helped to entertain the crowds. Swiss
wrestlers staged an exhibition in the
afternoon and at night regular
wrestling bout was put on by Carl
Furness, Chicago, and Hinnie Engel,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Two of the original Swiss colonists
who came to Monroe from Switzel
land as babies in 1884 were in the
first automobile of the parade, i'm
mediately behind the motorcycle po
lice who cleared the way. Only three
of the original coIonists survive. The
third man is in such ill health that
he could not be brought to the cele-
bration.
John NJ Kelley of Baraboo in adj

pavilion in which the pure bred sales
are to be held Wednesday, paid a
tribute to advertising as a business
aid and urged the farmers to look to
it as a means of creating a demand
for standardized farm products.

THE COAL SETTLEMENT

President Coolidge appointed Gift
ford Pinchot to handle the coal strike
and Pinchot surprised everybody, pos
sibly including the president, by
settling it upon terms which are fair,
liberal and considerate Of the public
good. Pinchot is an orthodox progress
sive republican of the pale red va
riety. Pink never has been the
favorite color of President Cool
idge, who is said to have large
rubber ball, which he rolls under
his bed in the White House every
night to make sure no socialists
liberals or single takers are con-
cealed there.
The settlement of the coal strike
represents a large harvest of politi-
cal hay which will be fed to the Re-

JUDGE KELLOGG
SETTLES Will
Decide, That Three of Children
Were to Be Cut Off With Only
5000 Each

On Wednesday, Judge A. F. Kel-
logg, of Portage, handed down his
decision constituting the will of the
late Mary E. McGilvra who died at
her home in Sumpter several years
ago. The matter was heard at Bara-
boo on July II last before Judge Kel-
logg, acting county judge. Mrs. Nc
Gilvra at the time of her death left
a husband, Orren McGilvra, who now
resides at BaraboO, and eight chill
dren, one girl and seven boys. Her
real estate in the main consisted of
an eighty acre farm, her homestead
located in Sumpter, which she d.
vised in the following manner:
81 give, devise and bequeath to
my husband Orren McGilvra my
homestead of 80 acres in the
town of Sumpter for his use while
he lives he to keep the same in
/ good repair, then to be divided
between my eight children, Guy
to have five hundred more than
the rest, Perrian and Ernest to
have two hundred apiece also
Lawrence to have two hundred,
the others to share equally"
On the part Of Perrian, Ernest and
Lawrence McGilvra, it was claimed
the mother intended each of them to
get 5000 more than the others out OF
the homestead, it being conceded
that Guy McGilvra is to receive $500
more than the others. On the part
of Mrs. Nellie McGilvra Lowe, the
daughter, and Guy, Lee, Earl and
Russell Mcilvra, it was contended
that the will means that Guy gets
$500 more than the others, that
Ernest, Perrian and Lawrence re-
ceive only 5000 each out of the home
stead, and that after Guy is paid $500,
and Ernest, Perrian and Lawrence
McGilvra are each paid 5000, the bal
ance of the proceeds Of the home
stead. upon the death of the fathe4.
Orren McGilvra, is to be divided
equally among Guy McGilvra, Nellie
Lowe, Lee McGilvra Earl McGilvra
and Russell McGiyra.

Kellogg construed the will, in ac-
cordance with the contention of

DEATH OF w. S. ROGERS

| w. S. Rogers was accidentally
killed on Saturday night by his auto
mobile turning over. He was driv-
| ing in company with Bernard
| Stevenson on the road some ten
| miles east of Burley when the car
skided slightly and Mr.. Rogers ap-
piled the breaks. 1t then turned
sideways and went into the ditch,
turning bottom upwards and break
ing his neck and pinning Mr.. Steven
son under the car so tightly that it
took him about an hour to get out.
He was in his overcoat and the coat
pinned down in such way that he
was powerless and it was only by
hard work for long time that he
got out of the coat. Then he soon
opened a door and squeezed out.
The engine stopped when the car
turned over, but the lights were
still on when he got out and the
horn was blowing all the while. No
body came along and he left the
lights on while he went looking for
help. 1t took him upwards of an
hour to find somebody and when
they got back to the wreck, the horn
was still blowing and the lights
were shining. The borrow pit was
deep and they had difficulty in get
ting Mr.. Rogers body out from
under the car. 1t was taken to
Burley, where the Elks lodge, of
which he was member, took
charge. The remains were brought
home for burial and the funeral was
conducted on Wednesday under the
auspices of the Elks lodge.
Mr.. Rogers has lived at Blackfoot |
for upwards of thirty years, and was
Familiarity known as BILL" He was |
of modest and unassuming DISPOSE
ton, did not seek the acquaintance
of many people but yet had large |
circle of friends. He was generous
and charitable but did not conduct
his charitable work in a way that
anyone but the beneficiaries would
be likely to know anything about it.

sister and daughter, all living at
