A YOUNG LIFE IS SUDDENLY ENDED
Miss Jessie Scott Died at Her Home in the Town of La Prairie Saturday Evening.
Miss Jessie SCOTT, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adam SCOTT, passed away at the home of her
parents in the town of La Prairie Saturday night at 10:45 o'clock. The deceased was nineteen years of age and held in the highest esteem by all those who were acquainted with her. Besides a host of friends in La Prairie who will be pained to learn of her demise there are numerous friends in this city, Miss SCOTT having attended the Janesville high school for a number of years and graduated last June with the class of 1904. There are left a father and mother, three brothers and two sisters. Funeral services over the remains will be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Burial will be in the Emerald Grove cemetery.

THEODORE ACHESON IS MUCH BETTER TODAY
Suffered Severe Euremic Convulsions on Saturday but is Now on Road to Recovery.
Former Sheriff and Marshal Theodore ACHESON's many friends will be glad to learn that his
condition is much improved today. He has been afflicted with euremic poisoning and was overtaken with such severe convulsions on Saturday that grave fears that he would not survive were entertained. Dr. EDDEN who is attending him at his present home in the residence portion of the county jail, said this afternoon that he believed his patient would soon be up and around again. [p. 1, col. 3]

THOS. MULCAIRNS WAS NOT TAKEN TO WAUPUN TODAY
Judge Dunwiddie Intimated That He Might Show Even More Leniency After Three Months.
Thomas MULCAIRNS was not taken to Waupun by Sheriff COCHRANE today. Something
may happen to prevent his going, but that something will naturally have to come from the supreme court. When Judge DUNWIDDIE sentenced him to one year in the penitentiary he intimated that he might be willing to sign an application for pardon at the end of three months, providing the district attorney was willing. He thought that there might have been some extenuating circumstances. The idea was not to punish MULCAIRNS but the crime of perjury which was becoming too common. [p. 5, col. 5]
