Sunday morning, while Mrs. John

their horse became frightened at a
train on the Northwestern railway
near the James Hall crossing and
started to run away The ladies were
thrown from the carriage and received
a lively shaking up and some bruises
nothing serious. The horse
was captured before be had gone far.
In the last issue of The Lake Mills
Leader a plea is made for a public park
on the shore of Rock lake, between the
outlet and the Harvey cottage. We
think the people of Watertown will en-
ter a protest against such plan.
While, no doubt, they would very
much like to see beautiful Lake Mills
still more beautified by lovely lake
park, they would prefer having it To-
Gated in some other section than their
favorite outing spot, which has always
been so generously and Hospitality ten
dered them. It cannot be denied,
however, that the parcel of land al
luded to is an ideal one for park.
