Will Be HEARD
in THIS CITY
Judge E. w. Crosby to
Preside At Trial
Slated for January
10Th

The shooting case that aroused
all of Madison will be tried in Bar
aboo, January 26th. The two Ital-
ians, residents of Madison's Lit
tie Italy," who are charged with
the Staying Of Policeman Herbert
Dreger, %, of the Madison police
force, will be heard in circuit
court here before Judge E. w.
Crosby.
The Italians charged with the
murder of the patrolman on the
night Of December End are Sam
DiMartino and Frank Vitalle. They
have been in the custody of Madf-
son police since She day of the
shooting.
Prejudiced in Madison
1t is believed that by having the
two men tried in the Sank county
court a fair trial for them will be
obtained. Residents Of Madison
were reused by the brutal killing
and it is thought a jury picked
from Dane county would be prejud-
iced against the pair standing
trial.
The Sank county jury which will
be selected to hear the case, ac-
cording to Clerk Of Court Frank
B. Moss, will not be allowed to
leave the court or jury room until
decision is rendered.
Had Guns
The Italians were arrested short
If after the shooting of the police
man at Death Corner" in Little
Italy and according to Madison
authorities both were armed with
guns. 1t is said DiMartino had in
his pocket a shotgun part that ex-
a.ctly fitted the rest of a gun found
under a porch block from the
shooting.
The men will be tried on the
charges Of first degree murder.

G. A. Briggs & Son took poss-
ession Of the Carl Kasiska build
ing today, purchased some months
ago, and will move the Fur Store
to the new location as soon rs the
necessary shelving can be put in.
For some time they have felt the
need of more room and the Ka-
siska building being larger gives
them the desired space.
Mr.. Briggs has been in the pres
ent location for twentyfour years
during which time he has enjoyed
a good business, but feels the new
location on account of the central
location will be more convenient
to his old customers and hopes to
add new friends and customers.
1t is doubtful if any firm in Bar.
ahoo enjoys more outside trade
The Fur Store is drawing from ev
cry town within q radius of so or
so miles having had customers
this season from Beaver Dam
Randolph, Cambria, Pardeeville
Poynette, Lodi, Madison, Portage
Westfield, Adams, Necedah, New
Lisbon, Mansion and every town
UP the line as far as Norwalk and
over to Richland Center.
Mr.. Briggs plans some improve
ments in the new store building
and may put in a modern front
this spring.
Carl Kasiska is one of the oldest
business men in Baraboo, having
conductde a harness shop here fol
more than forty years, and with
his retirement the ity loses one
of it's long established enterprises
With the coming If tel aUtcmo
bile, the nature of his business
necessarily changed ana lie put II
a large line Off luggag9 and leath

HARVARD BOLSTERS
ITS AERIAL DEFENSE

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. November s.
Harvard's foot ball drill yesterday was
very much abbreviated, the first and
second varsities returning from the
field to the locker building before
dark. There was no change in the
lineup of the teams from Tuesday
afternoon, and Coach Fisher Is still in
doubt whether he will start Maher or
Miller at halfback or Trip or c..
Bradford at guard.
The squad has been particularly
busy this week bolstering up the de-
fenses against forward passes, which
Harvard believes will be a very i'm
portant factor of the Tigers attack on
Saturday. Rensselaer,, Holy Cross and
Dartmouth together have scored four
touchdowns on passes. and the Han
over team twice landed the ball inside
the Crimson 5-yard line by that
means, then to score. Accordingly
Harvard expects the Tigers will play
to this weakness.
Little has been seen of Harvard's
own overhead play this season. Coady
has not been used in forward passing
all year, and Zarakov has not shown
much of the prowess displayed prev
iously for completing passes. In the
Dartmouth game the whole Hanover
team was watching him, knowing
that he was in the game to get loose
with forward If possible.

One may wonder whe' her the limit

more thar under the present systen1.
Ordinarily n q hig :oo' ball game al,

fact there can be radical variation

having the center pass the ball to t,.s

the one big defect in the Coffin sys-

ers on Saturday.
Looking back over the records, an
interesting discrepancy as between
the plays in two q, arters Is revealed
by the Harvard Michigan game OF

Michigan did most of the rushing. bur

An impression seems to be out that
Grange is a small man. Nothing is
farther from the truth. He is a big
fellow and an athlete as we'll. Grange
probably weighs $50 pounds, and is
a powerful, well developed man of
the type that one usually finds in
the exceptional men around 100
pounds. Grange carries with his heft
the adroitness and cleverness of the
smaller man combined with what
seemed to me to be an exceptional in.
telligence that amounted almost 10 an
instinct, and a combination of these
things make a man unbeatable, as
far as foot ball is concerned
Craig Wilton. last year at Georgia
Tech. is about the best man George
Washington has in it's backneld. He
is depended on to do most of the ball
carrying and he usually makes good
when called. Wilton is not only fast,
but weighs close to 1S0 pounds. He
also has had a good deal of gridiron
experience. Without him in it's back
field the Iatchetites would not be
near so strong extensively as they are.
Yesterday it was stated in this col
umn that Army and Navy faced let
downs this week, following their
to Yale and Michigan. This occa-
stoned a sally on the part of one of
the writer's friends to this effect:
DO you know that both West
ern Maryland and Davis and Elkins,
which are TO play Navy and Army
have some of the best material In
foot ball? Western Maryland has
sufficient men TO make a real fight
against anybody. while Davis and
Elkins also has a fine lot of material
which barely lost to West Virginia.
You just watch how much of a let
down the Army and Navy have this
week. They want to watch closely
or they will be let down about as
they were a week ago"
All of which is we'll known to
those that follow foot ball, but hav-
ing really splendid material and fine
foot ball team are different things en-.
tirely. Western Maryland and Davis
and Elkins have good squads, but
that they have reached a point OF de-
velopment that have the Navy and
Army is not likely. 1t is possible that
Davis and Elkins may beat the Army,
that Western Maryland may beat the
Navy, but any eleven of the caliber
of the Army or Navy Is much harder
for a small team to beat on the Satur-
day following a defeat than on a
Saturday following an overwhelming
victory. If Army had beaten Yale
and Navy had won from Michigan,
any strong small team would be con-
sidered to have fair chance.
Two Of the strong teams OF the
West will meet Saturday when Mis-,
souri, and Washington hook up. While
It Is not heard of so much in this sec.
ton, Washington is due to bring from
the Pacific Coast one of the strong
est elevens anywhere, according to
we'll defined reports. Missouri won
from Nebraska, which had previously
beaten Illinois.

SEVEN new PLAYERS
ON NAVY FIRST TEAM

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, November 8
Determined-oto develop more speed
and punch in the Naval Academy
team, Coach Owsley gave the varsity
another hard scrimmage against
Squad Z yesterday. However, only
four of those who started against
Michigan were in their places, seven
new players being tried out.
Shapley, at fullback. was the only
regular in the backfield, his mates
being flanagan, Caldwell and Rams.
ford-three light but fast and stocky
backs. Upon the whole the attack
showed some improvement, Shapley
making one touchdown on a forward
pass from flanagan.
An unexpected move was the trans
fer of Hoerner from center to left
end. Osburn is now in shape to re-
sume his place in the middle Of the
line. Hoerner. who has been substi-
tuting for him, did we'll in the new
place. as he is very fast for a big
fellow. His tackling in the center
position was so good that it is believed
that he will develop into an excellent
end.
Wickhorst, left tackle, and Taylor
who has been doing finely at end
were casualties during the closing
part of the scrimmage yesterday and
are not likely to start against West
ern Maryland.
