HOLDS TRAIN SIDE
FOR MANY MILES;
ALMOST FREEZES

Kenneth Kaap is recovering from a
narrowing experience he encountered
a week ago. Kenneth visited friends
in Pra. du Chen and left early in the
morning to take the Milwaukee train
east expecting to change at Woodman
for the Fennimore branch. He slept
in the depot and awoke to hear the
train pulling out of Pra. du Chen
Kenneth ran for the train and was
ablesto climb on the steps of one
coach, holding to the handrails on the
side as the vestibule was closed. In
this position Kenneth rode to Bridge
port He suffered fearfully from the
cold and would have jumped off at
various times had he not feared being
sucked under the rails. The wheels
threw snow all over him and he was
almost completely covered by snow
when the train reached Bridgeport.
The ride is but few miles but Ken
meth would not attempt it again I'M
der like circumstances for good deal
of money. At Bridgeport first aid was
given him and he was able to come on
home for further recuperatiQn from
the exposure.

WAS DELAvAN
DEATAMURDER
OR SUICIDE?
Bart Found With Bullet
Through Brain.

Eugene R. Bartholomew, aged 80,
better known in Lancaster as Bart"
was found dead with bullet wound
through his head last Wednesday
morning on lonely road near Della
van Lake.
The body was seated upright in the
car and frozen stiff. The hands were
folded across the breast indicating re-
pose A discharged .3S caliber revol-
yer was on the car floor next to the
body. Death had occurred several
days before.
Bart" was last seen alive on the
Friday preceding when he withdrew
his money from a Delavan bank. SIS
in cash was found in his pockets and
other personal items such as jewelry
etc, seemed untouched. This pre-
cludes the robbery motive for the
crime.
Authorities are at work on the case
to determine whether Bart" killed
himself or was the victim of a crime
The position Of the body hardly indi-
Gates that he could have shot himself
and then folded his arms over his
chest and died.
Bart" worked here about five years
ago S assistant to Mr.. and Mrs. John
Rivers who operated the Old linda
hotel, now the Wright House. Bart
left here with Mr.. and Mrs. Rivers
when they moved back to Delavan
and assisted them at hotel work in
that vicinity Lately he and Mr.. Riy-
ers opened and operated restaurant
at Sharon He was in this business
u pto the time of his sudden death.
]. L. Fletcher, present proprietor
of the Wright House, heard of Bart's
ability at hotel work and recently
wrote him a letter offering him po-
sition. He received no answer and
was much surprised to read OF the
mans death. Bart" had made his
home with the Riverses for the past
fourteen years.

MINERAL POINT.-A party of men
from Sweden are doing work for the
Mineral Point Zine Co., that may
mean great development in our lead
and inc field. These men came to
America with letters from the Swed-
ish government. They sought Miner
al Point Zinc officials and were given
a chance to show what they could do
in locating ore bodies. Their first
work was on land about three miles
southwest of Shullsburg.
They use wireless system, the in
struments register the resistance of
electricity passing through ore bear
ing ground. They have located the
ore bearing ground, where the heavy
deposits are.
Their work has been verified by
drilling. Their maps show the run of
ore, etc.
While working on the mining prop
erty one of the operators stated that
the telephone was ringing at a nearby
house and that no one was answering
the phone. This was later learned t.
be true. The instruments they were
using recorded the sounds.

Farming an Ancient
and Honorable Occupation.


A bad habit many farmers have is
to belittle their own business and de-
precate their own Intelligence and
usefulness. Instead OF recognizing
his Importance in the world as the
food raiser for us all, the average
farmer leans over backwards in plac-
ing a small importance on his actlVl-
ties and general intelligence.
This viewpoint is entirely wrong.
We will concede that his environment
and isolation make the farmer feel
awkward when he mingles with the
world and makes him hesitate over
expounding some of the things his
mind has worked out as he pursues
his daily tasks. But these things are
not the essence of cleverness. The
proof of skill and technic is to be able
to do and do we'll the job you have set
YOUR hands at. 1t is Significant tnat
most farmers are good farmers.
Symbols of success in many lines
of work constitute partly in throw
ing a good bluff This is notably true
in several of the professions. 1t is
true in sales work and true to a de-
gree in newspaper work. Blutflng
doesn't work on a farm. The results
are there or not there. Effort and
brain power spell results on farm
Just as they do in mechanical indus
try.
We know that men left to them
selves are wont to commune with
their thoughts and ponder over
many things. Often they form enron
eous conclusions. So with all think
ers. The important thing in think
ing is to be by yourself so you can
work the problem out. Farm isola-
ton lends itself to that. Many OF
the worlds greatest thinkers live on
farms.
The good farmer is certainly a ne
cessity and a great asset. His work
is useful, necessary and dignified. No
man pursuing agriculture as an oc-
cupation need belittle his work nor
keep his voice and ideas in the back
ground just because he is farmer.
