The father of the young man has
been an employee of the c. & N. w.

stay in California he was for some
time chauffeur for Miss Gloria Swan
son, movie star; and was in the au

Mr. and Mrs. Murphy were planning
to go to California to see their two
sons the last of this month. A
message received last night, stating
that Howard was sinking was the

SAUk CITY LAND
CASE DECIDED

Many In Baraboo and Sank county
have ridden over the new fill at the
Dane county end Of the bridge over
the Wisconsin river at Sank City
.gErxnk highway, number II. The land
On which the approach to the bridge
has not been paid for and it has
taken an extended law suit to de-
.gawnine the ownership Of the land
The trial was held at Madison and
aaa1ed for nine days. The plaintiffs
IN the case were Mr.. and Mrs. John
1TrHutman and the defendant was
zSustaye Pillep.
Surveyed In 1881
The land along the river was sur
veyed by the United States govern
xuent in 1881, the meandering of the
river being located. Afterwards Count
Augustin Harszthy, that self-iontain'
I'll, commanding, unusual character
zvho resided at Sank City for Tins
,aq2d who left for California arrayed in
"a picturesque costume ending in red
asenckings which enclosed his trous-
eRrE TO q point between the knees
and hips, operated a ferry there.
In 1852 the government made a
ne-survey, showing two islands be-
asveen where the ferry ended and the
H1adn land, These islands were some
where between the present end of
che bridge and the main land but just
Hhere was not known, hence the suit.
e0ne island faded from the memory
sol the oldest inhabitants but some
wacailed that there was one known as
Warren's island, named for a former
wealthy resident lof Baraboo, long
since deceased.
~
Professor owen of the University
<of Wisconsin was sent to the scene Of
che dispute to make survey and If
g0ssiDle locate the islands shown on
,ahe government map, for the point OF
ISSUE was the ownership of the is,
samd4 1.-THE suit ALSO involved a
strip OF; Land four rods wide which ca
tended in an early day from the ferry
aan,ling to Clifton, hamlet across
-she rtveH from Prairie du Sac. The
deeds to,all this land was contradio
ing and indefinite, badly mixed as
one would say After few witnesses
had beent examined it was clear that
4he land occupied by the abandoned
road belonged to the defendant and
Uhis part was withdrawn from fur
sher consideration.
Fractions Involved
When il came to the final phase of
dne case it was found that the north
end of the island known as fraction
= and all Of the island known as frac-
aznn were in dispute. Island known
aas fraction 6 is a little to the left
and is the one once known as War

NEAR EAST RELIEF CAMPAIGN
STILL. In rR0GRESS

Shenandoah County's campaign
to provide for thirty nine orphans
of the Near East is still being
conducted.
County Chairman, Fred D..
Maphis, states that owing to
weather conditions and many OF
the country churches and Sun
day Schools not being able to
have services, the various dis.
tricts are slow in reporting the
amounts contributed to the CAM
paign. Up to the present time.
Davis district is leading all the
others. Chairman Frank E. Zea
has reported sufficient funds paid
and pledges secured to provide
for eleven orphans. While Davis
district has provided for her
quota, the other districts have
not made any report.
Since this last snow storm
and while Mother earth is covered
with this white blanket, we are
reminded OF the terrible suffer
ing in the Near East, where
similar weather has prevailed for
the past five months. Near East
Relief has sixty thousand chill
dren in orphanages and thirty
five thousand outside, depending
on this organization for life it.
self. Imagine your child out in
weather like this without shoes
or enough clothing to keep warm
and no food to eat.
The people of Shenandoah
County are urged to respond
promptly to this appeal. so that
the needs of these destitute chill
dren can be met now during the
winter season. when the need is so
great.
Everybody is asked to give as
much cash now as possible and
make a pledge through the
churches and Sunday Schools,
fraternal organizations, societies,
etc. so that our County will not
fail to reach its quota of $2400.OOi
Late dispatches from the Near
East report that thousands of
women and children are living in
| nitary barracks, novels and
| shacks. Many of them suffering
FROM under-nourishment, NAL
arial fever, If the good people
of this county could see and know
of the desperate situation these
people are in, they would respond

The plants are propagated by sets

MY GOALS.


A little drawer when the skies are gray,
A little stronger when the road
seems long,
A little more of patience through the
day,
And not so quick to magnify wrong
A little kinder, both of thought and
deed,
A little gentler with the old and weak
Swifter to sense another's pressing
need,
And not so fast the hurtful phrase
to speak.
These are my goals not flung beyond
my power,
Not dreams of glory, beautiful but
Not the great heights where birds of
genius flower,
But simple splendors which ought
to gain.
These can do and be from day to day,
Along the humble pathway where l
plod,
So that at last when am called away
l need not make apologies to God.
Edgar A. Cue st.
