CATTLE BUYERS
SLIP 1T OVER
ON SALOON MEN
Story of Platteville Arrests
Shows that Most Careful
Become Unsuspecting.

PLATTEVILLE-L January two
men representing themselves as stock
buyers spent several days in Platte
vile. Long cold drives in the country
caused no comment when they fire.
quently visited soft drink parlors on
Second street
Reports are that they had no trouble
in obtaining what they ordered.
When starting on one of these
drives they visited several places and
secured bottles containing liquor
which was used as evidence against
the saloon men. The result of the
analysis of the liquor in the bottles
caused the arrest of Charles Percival,
Ace Watson and Charles Gahart last
Saturday. They were taken to Lancas-
ter and placed under $1,000 bond on
charge of violating the prohibition law
and will have hearing at the present
term of court.
IC is reported that the cattle buyers
secured what they wanted to drink at
places of business on Second street
but that several places refused to sell
them bottled goods.

1900 MINERS IN
SHULLSBURG
AND VICINITY
Towns Through Mining Belt
Overflow With Workers.
High Price Cause.

LSBURG-Reports from the
mine managers in the zinc-lead dis
trict turned in last week show more
than 1900 men working in the mines
near Shullsburg. Four new mines are
being made ready for operations, cal
ling for at least 200 more men, Every
house in Shullsburg is rented. New
Diggings, after being deserted for two
years has again filled up with people
and is a lively mining center Scores
of cottages for the use of miners and
their families are being built at the
various mines. The New Diggings
man says: IF you think the farmers
are not benefited you should observe
the loads of bailed hay that have
passed through town the last few days
for the mines around here to be fed to
the mules that have been lowered
down under ground"
The activity at Shullsburg, Benton,
Leadmine, New Diggings and other
mining towns is due to one cause,
namely-the high price of lead and
zinc. Commercial lead, such as used
by printers, is nearly twice what it
was a couple of years ago. This means
raise from SC to 15c pound.

BOSCOBEL KHAN
CASE APPEALED
TO HIGH COURT
State VS.. Shields Comes Up
In April.-Was Convicted
Here in October.

MADISON-The first case involving
the Ku Klux Khan which ever has
come to the Wisconsin supreme court
will be argued during the week of
April 10, when the appeal of George
Shields, former Boscobel night watch
man, is scheduled for hearing.
Shields was convicted by jury in
tober of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm when he pointed a
revolver at B. A. Flesch marcher in a
Khan parade at Boscobel on the night
of Aug. Is. Though sentenced to
three months in the Grant county jail,
he has been at liberty on bond pend
ing disposition of his appeal on a
writ of error.
George B. Clementson, former dis
trict attorney of Grant county who
has been succeeded by R. M. Orchard,
probably will be made special coun-
sci for the state in argument of the
case and Shields will be represented
by the McGeever brothers of Dodge
vile.
1T is true that the case is the first
one involving the Khan to come be-
fore the supreme court" Attorney ].
D. McGeever said Friday, "but the
Khan is not the big issue in this case

New Tax Bill
Vicious.

It's time for you to act You may
think that you are only one and that
your appeal to your member in the
state assembly or your state senator
Will count for but little, but if thous-
and from every county make their
voice heard in protest to the proposed
tax measure, the men whom you have
elected to represent you in the 1egis-
lature must take notice of your wish
The new tax measure, said to be
sponsored by the Governor, proposes
the repeal of the income tax personal
property offset. That will mean that
your personal property tax will be
practically doubled. Can you stand a
doubling of your personal property
tax? The law if passed, would add
four millions to the states tax bill
You have been reading the state
treaSurer's report the past two
years and have wondered that it was
necessary to maintain a continuous
balance of funds in the treasury of
from eight to eighteen millions. You
would be nothing short of a fool to
carry that much idle capital in your
own business. Why is it any the less
foolish to carry such an immense
surplus in the state treasury? We
can stand cut of from two to four
millions year for the next three
years without interfering with the
wise business conduct of the state.
It's your time to act, and act quick
ly. Your representative is approach
able, and if he is really aiming to
represent you he will be glad to hear
your opinion. Your protest against
this increase in your tax is needed
now. 1t may help prevent such a
serious mistake as increasing the tax
against merchants, manufacturers
and farmers and people whose in
come offset saves them from an ex-
cessive personal property tax-Brod-

JURY FINDS
NAUERT GUILTY
AS CHARGED
BOscObeI Defendant Con-
victed of Liquor Law ViO-
latiOn.-May Appeal.

Clifford Nauert &c, Boscobel, was
found guilty of transportation and pos
session of Intoxicating liquor by cir
cult court jury yesterday morning.
Sentence was withheld until Saturday
morning to allow counsel to make ar
gument before court for reverse
judgment from the bench. The sem
tence may be stiff one for Nauert
as this is his third conviction and sec
ond conviction under the present law.
The case went to trial Monday af-
ternoon. Testimony was taken from
Constable Bender, Mayor Kicks, and
Deputy Sheriff Hunt, all of Boscobel
Nauert was arrested as he was at the
Wisconsin river bridge north of Bos-
cobel on the night of Nov. 1, 1924. In
his possession were about Is gallons
of alcohol in jugs and tins. He made
no effort to resist arrest going with
the officers willingly.
Atty Carthew for the defense en-
deavored to show that the state had
not proved that Nauert did not have
a license to transport liquor. He made
continuous objections during the adj
mission of evidence. 1t is assumed
that the case will be appealed to the
Supreme court on a basis of errors in
the search warrant, trial procedure
and prosecution.
G. H. Bender, the mammoth school
janitor- constable of Boscobel pro-
vided an element of comedy in court
sessions as he did in the khan trial
last fall. Hectored by Mr.. Carthew as
to what he knew about the case, Mr..
Bender finally burst out with: well,
if I-don't know noting what they put
me on the stand for?" Mr. Carthew
said that was what he was trying to
find out. Mr.. Bender seemed nom
plussed but not afraid to measure
lance with the clever lawyer.
The case seemed to be straight
open and shut" and apparently moth
ing remains for young Nauert but
stiff sentence with Jail proviso at
tached. Current opinion is that an ap-
peal will have no great weight at
tached to it but that remains to be
seen.

nounced but burial will probably take
place Thursday of this week. Capt.

having visited his son and daughter
here at frequent intervals before his
final illness.

office of county judge has become a
very important one in the county, and
we are indeed fortunate in being able

Making Good.

The position of circuit judge of this
circuit is an important and RESPONSE
BILE one. The traditions surrounding
the office are high. The circuit has a
galaxy of capable names in it's judi
cial history.
To our mind a good judge should
have judicial temperament which i'm
plies calm and fairness. He should
know law He should be the master
of his court AS men are not born
with these qualities they must grow
to them as responsibility is thrust up
on them. That they do grow is a credit
to them.
The Herald feels that our present
judge is making good and maintain
ing the high tradition OF the circuit
We congratulate him and wish him
continued success.
