single apple on the thousands OF
trees, is the unique condition this

VERNON COUNTY

Prohibition Officers V. R. Schaeffer,
e. T. Smith and Sheriff T. G. Knudson
came in last week with the biggest
find of the year-two 50gallon, B.
coil stills, over 800 gallons of mash,
and part of a five-gallon jug of moon.
1t was sure some find, and the officers
are to be congratulated. The outfit
was discovered on Goose Island in
the Mississippi.
Monday evening, as Mr.. and Ms
Len Williamson of Star Valley, neal
Soldiers Grove, were driving down
the sand hill south of the city, Mr.
Williamson was blinded by the strong
lights of an approaching car and
failed to see hay rack in front of
him, running into same. The top Of
his car was wrecked, he was bruised
about the head, and Mrs. Williamson
was quite badly bruised and cut about
the face and head. 1t is fortunte that
their injuries were no more severe.
The village of DeSoto entertained
the largest crowd in its history last
Friday evening, the occasion being a
meeting of the Khan at that place
| Quite a number of robed Klansmen
were there, four crosses were burned
on the hillsides surrounding the vii
| lage, areal bombs and rockets sent up
and an address delivered by one OF
the national Khan lecturers. On the
following evening a public Khan meet
ing was held in front of the city hall
Several hundred people assembled tc
listen to the lecture. Following the
street meeting, an invitation meeting
was held in the opera house.
Sunday night, as Harold Nicks and
Basil Unseth were returning from La
Crosse by car, they noticed good
| tire lying in the road near Westby
They stopped the car and Unseth got
out of the car to look at it. AS he
stopped to investigate, stranger
| jumped from the side Of the road anG
grappled with him. Unseth shooh
him off and jumped into the car
Fortunately the engine was running
and Nicks stepped on the gas and they
escaped. That is an old trick of the
holdup man, and it is safer for auto
drivers at night to keep right on re,

Zinc Ore, Lead Prices
Soar to New Levels

Platteyille-The prices of zinc ore
and lead both advanced this week to
new high levels, with strong indica-
tions that higher prices will FREEDOM
mate for some time to come. Lead
ore last week, on base offering of
SLIP per ton, was advanced SIS ton.
Zinc ore, selling on a base offering
of $44 per ton, was this week ad-
vanced to SAT.
These advances come in the face
of heavy production and record-break-
ing sales Of ore and are due directly
to higher market values of metals.
The American Smelling Co., advanced
prices on piglead to $3.50 per pound
ard leading authorities in the lead
smelling industry predict $125 ton
for lead ore, shortly.
Advances in the price of slab zinc
and sheet zinc are responsible for
the advance in the price of ore.

BOSCOBEL

Chas. Kligora, well known Hick-
DRY Grove farmer, is liberal in his
views and dealings. He has never
before refused hunters the privilege
of enjoying the sport on his farm,
but when some unprincipled cusS
went into his dooryard during the
family's absence one Sunday recently
and stripped a hickory nut tree of
its entire crop and made way with it,
the milk of human kindness in Cahr-
ley's makeup soured to the consist
ency of smearkase and he declared
forthwith there would be no more
trespassing on his acres. This ac-
counts for the notice he inserts in
The Dial. Such dissolute practice is
deserving of punishment.
Messrs. Clifford Nauert and Fred
Murley had miraculous escape from
serious if not fatal injury last Fri
day when the car of r. Spieoelberg
Jr., which they were driving, left the
road on highway so about a mile e;lst
of the river bridge and plunged END
over end down an embankment. The
occupants were pinned beneath The
wreck, but witnesses of the accident
fastened to assist in the rescue and
they were soon eXtricated. After 2
view of the scene where the mishap
occurred and an inspection of the re-
mains of the demoralized Nash car,
it is almost unbelievable to see the
principals in the mix-up with only Il
few minor bruises to show for their
exciting experience.
Frank Ward is hobbling about on i
crippled leg caused by an injured
knee. At the time the collision oc-
Cured on the slough bridge between
John Boak with team and hay rack
and Frank HaZen of Wauzeka with
his auto truck bearing a cheese box
crate, Mr. Ward hurriedly descended
from load of hay on his own wagon
to stop the Boak team, which started
to run away. In alighting he wrenched
his limb and has suffered consider
able with it ever since.
Chas. Kretsch of Chicago made his
aged mother a welcome visit in this
city last week. Charley left Boscobel
about 20 years ago and this was the
first visit to the old home town since.
He secured a position in the stock
yards when he first landed in the
metropolis and has been continuously
employed there, being advanced from
one post to another until now he has
a lucrative, responsible job. Boscobel
looked mighty good to him and he
was agreeably surprised at the nu-
merous substantial improvements and
the general air of prosperity which
exists here The only disappointment
he met with was the many missing
faces of his old-time friends.-Dial.

Daring Burglar Weeps
at Sight of Waupun

MOnrOe-Emil Kunz, who outwitted
several police forces and kept au-
thorities in southern Wisconsin on
the jump for months, lost his air of
boldness when he came within sight
of the Waupun prison towers and
cried like child, according to Sheriff
Robert w. Blumer who took him to
the prison. The 22-year old Swiss
youth, in this country but four years,
was sentenced to seven years for
burglary of the Buehler garage here.
His career is said to have included
rum running, car thefts and burglary.

Zinc Miners Strike
Vein 80 Feet Thick

Linden-The Rule Mining Co. drill
ling on the Smith-Rule farm, one
mile north of this village, struck a
big deposit of zinc ore, 80 feet in
thickness. Charles Singer, manager
for the company, said he never saw
such rich cuttings. Four years ago
the Fearless Mining Co. held the lease
to these lands and mined for time.
Although the ore was high grade, the
recovery was light in tonnage and
the company abandoned the property.
The strike by Mr. Singer and his
associates, some of whom are Mil
waukee men, proves that the Fear
less Mining Co. was off the main
range.
