Climbs Fence, Takes Fall,
Pants Wrecked-That's All

While climbing around on a bluff,
Woodman neighborhood, looking over
a proposed road relocation, Henry
Mink had an experience he will not
soon forget.
The bluff was very steep, he came
upon an old barb wire fence, took hold
of it to steady himself and to get over
it. The corroded strand broke, cut
ting his left hand badly.
That was the worst, but not the
whole story. In the excitement Hen
ry lost his balance and rolled nearly to
the bottom of the hill. The thing he
cannot explain is how he stopped roll
ing, for there was no tree to intercept
him. But he did not go to the bottom.
A surgeon dressed the wounded hand,
but that pair of trousers was beyond
the care of an NJ. D., or a tailor. They
were torn out of all relation to future
usefulness, but the legs they encased
were not scratched.
So Mr.. Mink thinks he did not fare
so badly, the dangers to which he was
exposed, considered.

YOUNG BOB TO
BE A CANDIDATE
FOR u. S. SENATE
Will Stump State Seeking
Seat Vacated by His
Fathers Death.

MADISON-Robt. M. LaFollette, Jr.,
Thursday authorized the publication
of the following:
81 am a candidate for United States
senator. In a short time I shall issue
d complete statement"
This announcement brings to close
the preliminaries of the senatorial
campaign in the Progressive camp.
With the refusal of Mrs. LaFollette to
be a candidate, closely followed by the
statement of Robert NJ LaFollette, jr.,
that he would be in the race, the mat
ter of Progressive candidates. is dis
posed of. By a timely announcement
Gov. Blaine has cleared up the remain
ing doubtful point by stating that there
will be a special election.
The stage is all set for combat.
Few Months Over Legal Age.
Mr.. LaFollette is one of the young
est candidates for United States SEN
ator in the history of the country, on
ly few months over the legal age for
membership in congress. He was 80
last February. He has held no public
office, but knows politics by reason
of close association with his late faith
er in Washington and during cam
paigns. 1t was thought that his broth
er Phil, district attorney of Dane
county, would be grOomed to succeed
Senator LaFollette in years to come,
but the senator's death changed politl-
cal plans in the Progressive camp.
Id yOJ.c.it Ivy
of Wisconsin, but was prevented from
completing his course by long ILL
ness. He then went on to Washington.
For six years he acted as private sec
rotary to his father, succeeding John
Hannah, now president of the state
board of control. Bob, jr., is serving
his second term as chairman of the
Republican central committee.
To Stump State.
Mr.. LaFollette will make an active
canvas of the state, on the stump and
in meetings which will bring him close
to the voters. He has had speaking
experience, but not so much as cam
paigner as in the organization activi-
ties which conferred around the prof.
ects of Senator LaFollette.
Little is known of his ability on the
stump. Politicians are wondering if
he can develop anything like the pow
er of Senator LaFollette to sway
crowds. Young Bob's first big public
appearance was when he brought to
the Cleveland convention his fathers
speech accepting the presidential in
dorsement of the Conference for Pro-
greSsive Political Action.
Facing a large crowd he was self
possessed and calm, with no sugges-
ton of stage fright.

Driving to Sheep Country
to Buy Lambs for Farmers

Andrew Lewis, Ed Austin and J. B.
Keenan, left Lancaster Sunday after
noon for trip to the sheep country
in Montana. They go there to contract
for lambs for Grant county farmers,
and hope to get at least 20 double
decker carloads for fall and winter
feeding. The condition of cornfields
is such that farmers are anxious to
provide feeders to eat down weeds and
wild grasses and the grass from
fence rows.
This trip has been planned for
weeks. and until the last moment they
intended to go by rail. On looking
up the item of carfare, they thought
they could do better. Accordingly
they bought Ford touring, and when
they get back it is said there will be
another Lizzie. to SELL The trip will
consume two weeks, perhaps more.
