Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1883-05-18


liens of Mineral Point are making
arrangements for the grandest cele-
bration Of the Fourth ever held in
the city, and that the Driving Park
association have offered liberal pur-
ses and have secured three cornet
bands for its first public meeting to
be held on the fair grounds in the
afternoon of the same day, IS
not too much 10 expect that we will
have a grand gala day on July 4,
1883.
1t would seem that the time for
it being hard to raise money for the
celebration of the Fourth in Mineral
Point has gone by. A committee
have canvassed the city for sub
scriptions for that purpose, and in
stead of being disguised with the
work, as committees have been in
former years, they are surprised at
the result of their own efforts. More
than six hundred dollars have been
subscribed, which ought to be suffi-
Gent to defray the exposes of a
very creditable celebration.
Nick Schiller has completed the
improvements to the Globe hotel
building. The addition just built
gives him four extra sleeping rooms,
which he has had nicely fitted up
and supplied with new and elegant
furniture His building is large
and commodious one, and he re-
ports the hotel business looming.
He says that if Mineral Point is a
dull place he does not know it, as not
withstanding the enlargement which
he has made to the building, he is
crowded with guests day and night.
He invites his friends and the tray
cling public to call and see him as
he feels confident of being able to
cater to the wants of the inner man
in the most satisfactory manner.
The Boscobel Dial says: Rumors
have been very plenty, of late, re-
garding the condition of Hon. Geo.
c. Hazelton, who was injured in the
knee some time ago. One report
was to the effect that an amputation
Of the limb had peen decided upon,
and that the operation would take
place at the gentleman's home in
this city. The Dial is happy to say
that there is no truth in the reports;
on the contrary, Mr.. Hazelton is in
Washington slowly recovering from
his injuries and will leave that city
for his Wisconsin home, just as
soon as his limb is strong enough
to stand the journey. Mrs. Hazel
ton is with her husband, giving him
all the assistance and care that a
faithful wife knows so well how to
bestow. His friends in this city
are fully advised of his condition,
and they will watch eagerly for his
return.
The Darlington Democrat says:
The much-talked-of and long wish
ed-for wrestle bekween Evan Lewis,
the Montana champion, and Jack
Curkeet, champion of the Lake Su-
perior country, will take place in
this city on Monday, May Dist.
Lewis hackers were in the city this
week and deposited the forfeit mon
ey, which makes the match GER
tainty. The match will be Cornish
style, with jackets, for 5000 side,
the winner taking the gate money.
The wrestle will take place on the
fair grounds, an admission fee of fif-
ty cents being charged. That the
contest will be ION the dead" there
is 10 doubt, as neither one of them
has ever met his equal. Both men
are now in active training, and by
the day of the contest they will be
in perfect condition. This meeting
will settle the mooted question as
to who is the best man, and afford
our citizens a chance to see a scien-
titic wrestling contest that will be
well worth the price of admission.
