The OUTDOORS

Up until a few years ago camp

hardships entailed with camping
trip were so severe that the wo-
man refused to fOrsake the com
forts of her front porch for n week
end or even Il day in the open.
With the advent Of comfortable
camping equipment came the de-
sire to share with the men, the
pleasures, health and enjoyment Of
outdoor life. Women were quick
to realize the advantages of get
ting away from the home duties.
The thorough relaxation afforded by
n vacation amid nature beauty
spots; the zest, added energy and
vitality with which she attracts her
daily home-life routine upon the re-
turn from such vacation force
fully brought home to the woman
the absolute necessity of making at
least one camping trip a season.

that we can procure almost any

lie sold newspapers from early
morning till IL at night to keep his
mother, younger sister, and two
brothers in food and shelter.
Once, he decided to earn some
spare money, by boxing in the ring.
A fight promoter suggested after
the bout, when the boy was tired
and tagged, that he strengthen his
nerves by taking some "dope."
Some time after contracting the
"dope" habit, he attempted to rob
n trunk store in Los Angeles, and
shot and killed Charles Weingartcn,
the proprietor.
1t has been proven that he was
dope-crazed at the time.
A mere newsboy, he was too poor
to hre'an attorney. The public de-
fender was assigned.
During the course of his trial, the
hoy, prisoner in the county Jail
in Los Angeles, was smuggled a re-
volver and some "dope."
Armed and dopemaddcned, he at
tempted an absurd escape as he was
being led to the courtroom. Be
cause of this, after the jury voted
him guilty, they did not recommend
mercy, and Judge Reeves had no al
tentative but to sentence the boy to
hang. Clarence was 10 then.
An appeal to the superior court
failed.
Since then Agnes, an exquisitely

mother, have moved heaven and
earth to save "Tuffy" from
death on the gallows.

The final fight to save the life of
Clarence "Tuffy" Reade, sentenc-
ed to hang on August % for the
murder of Charles Weingarten, was
opened today when formal peti-
tion was filed with Governor
Friend w. Richardson requesting
him to commute the death penalty
to sentence of life imprisonment.
The petitions to the governor are
based largely upon affidavits OBJ
tanned from jurors stating that they
voted the death penalty because of
q misunderstanding of the meaning
Df life imprisonment.
Had they known it is possible for
person convicted of murder to
waive all parole rights, the jurors
would not have voted to hang the
boy.
To date, nine of the twelve jurors
have joined in the fight to save the
boy from going to n death that they
did not intend. All of these jurors

associations, women's clubs, and
powerful newspapers in the fight.
They feel that hundreds of other
persons tried for murder have re-
.ceived sentences of life imprison-
ment, or have received lighter sen.
tences still, because of power or
sentiment brought to bear. Wealthy
men have been able to reach the
highest courts or plead insanity;
pretty women are often acquitted.
And now, but one man stands be-
tween "Tuffy" Reade and death on
the gallows on August 90.
That man is Governor Richard

Mrs. Lillia A. Dudley has received
letter from her grandson, Dudley

away of Mrs Robert Dudley. She
died suddenly all alone in her home

account of freshly painted floors but
both got in the house to find the
mother with her head resting on her
arms on the table, the paper on heI

The drst Catholic services in Bara-
boo we're held in May, 1850, seventy
four years this May Father Maxi
milan Gartner had been given the
parishes of Sank, Lynden and Del
Iona. He had to pass through Bara-
boo When he heard that there were
Catholics here, he told them he would
read mass the following Sunday. Ser
vices were held in the old Wiscon-
sin House, where the Ringing the
atre now stands. w. H. Garfield, in
his history of Sank county, says that
because hotel Accommodations were
limited Father Gartner held the next
monthly services at a Mrs. Gray s
home located where the old LaVoo
house was in later years, northeast
corner Lake and Walnut streets. For
four years Father Gartner, an old
man over sixty made his monthly
visits. in rainsor snow, mud or rough
roads. and most of the time on foot,
unless someone driving an OK team
happened along and gave him ride.
In the summer he had an Indian take
him down the Wisconsin river from
Kilbourn to Sank in canoe on his
return trips.
Father Gartner attended to all spir-
itual wants of his people, admins !
tering baptism, marrying, and bury
ing the dead. The people met at the
homes of Mrs Gray, Mr.. Doherty or
Mr.. w. Powers for services. They not
only had services at their homes, but
they also entertained the priest anu
all those who walked in from six TO
fourteen miles to mass. At the age OF
gixty-five Father Gartner went back
to Austria, and we were without a
priest.
Double Wedding
Many of the members of our PARISH,
who are now deceased, were married
ian the old Lavoo house, during the
wears that Mrs. Gray and Mr.. P. Nc
Ginnis lived there. One Sunday there
was a double wedding there, Mr.. and
Mrs. P. McGinnis and Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman. Mr.. and Mrs. G. Sarahan,
Mr.. and Mrs. P. Doherty, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mike Powers, Mr.. and Mrs. Jim
Mitchell, Mr.. and Mrs J. McGinnis and
Mr.. and Mrs. F. MCGirnis and many
others were married there, and most
Of the older members CT the congre-
CATION were baptized there. A few Of
those who attended the first mass
here were Mrs. Gray, Patrick McGin-
mis-, Mr. Davis, John Rainey, Mr..
Stefnmetz, Mr. McFadden and Mr..
Mclaughlin. There were others, but
| could not find their names. After
Father Gartner left, Father Montague
Father Steele, Father Nassau, Faith
er Heisse, Father Wefnhart and 9th
ers attended here once in while.
At times we were two or. three
months without services.
