HALF THE CLAIMS SETTLED.

The settlement of damage claims con-
sequent on the Rio disaster, is being con-
Quoted by John A. Hinsey, representing
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul road.
About half of the claims have been settled
satisfactorily. Some of the itemized claims
for baggage destroyed give a ludicrous
side to>an event which would seem TO be
entirely surrounded by horror. A com.
mercial traveller for New York house
put in a claim for damages on account of
the lose of Dew trunk and four quarts
of whisky. He was not travelling for
whisky house, either. Only two additional
death claims have been settled. The hus-
bands of Mrs. Shursr and Mrs. Johns
have received damages for the loss of
their respective wires. Mr.. Hinsey re-
fused to reveal the amount paid to each
person. Former settlements were made
at $4,000 each, and the law provides that
the damages in each case shall not exceed
$1,000 for death for which the road is
responsible Wisconsin.

time of the Rio disaster undoubtedly saved
many lives, received a beautiful gold
medal from the hands of Bishop Whipple,

neat, bearing on its diverse side the fol
lowing inscriptions: "Bishop Whipple to
Thomas Little" and on the reverse side,
"For His Heroism in Saving the Lives
of Passengers at Rio, Wis, Oct %, 1886 :"
1t was struck at the mint in Philadelphia,

that city, and presented to Mr.. Little by

ASTATE CAMPING GROUND NEAR WATERFOWL

The legislature will be asked this WIN
ter to make more suitable provision for
the state militia in various ways. Under
this head application will be made to the
legislature with the view TO the purchase
OF state camping ground near this city,
because of its central and desirable loca-
ton. Major Traenmer, of the Fourth
battalion, thinks it would be necessary
to acquire half section for such pur-
pose and put up permanent barracks
costing $4,000 or $4,000. The camp
ing ground would be permanent insti-
tuition and prove great convenience as
we'll as of value, for all time 10 come.
There was talk of purchasing Camp
Randall at Madison for camping ground,
but this, it is said. would be wholly in
adequate on account of its small size and
billy topography.
Watertown is looked upon by many of
the prominent militiamen of the state as
being all things. considered, the most
favorable location TO be found for the
camping ground, mainly because it is
accessible by railroad from all points, has
healthy location, &c. 1t would be
valuable acquisition to the business in
terests of this place and means should be
taken at once to try and secure its loca-
ton here Our merchants and business
men have an interest in this matter be-
yond all others and they should take
steps to see what can be done with the
project A committee with Captain SOL
liday at the head would be the proper
way to get the matter in shape.
