Baseball,

Teams composed of members of
''The Klub'' and the Iroquois club
contested for supremacy on the dia-
mOnd at Washington park Sunday af-
ternoon. Although several of the
players had not INDUCED in the sport
for years, the game was not so bad as
1t might have been and it's clOseness
furnished plenty of excitement for the
contestants and interest for the spec
tatOrs, while the antics of the nOvices
were highly amusing. 1t required ten
innings to decide the game, the score
at the close standing 20 to 19 in favor
of the Iroquois boys. A noteworthy
feature was the splendid out-fielding
of ''Heinen Schultz, who created a SEN
sation among his many girl admirers.
Another game between the two clubs
is on the tapis for the near future.
On next Sunday afternoon a game
is to be played at Washington park
between the Jefferson Blues and the
Watertowns. The Jeffersons are one
of the best amateur teams in the state,
and with the strengthening the home
team has recently received by the ad-
dltion of five new players, a close
contest may be expected. Jumbo
Keel, the old favOrite, will hold down
first base for the locals. The batteries
will be Heimerl and ROessler for JEFF

Last weeks Lake Mills Leader con-
tanned the appended obituary notice of
the mother of Mrs. M. G. Keyes, widow
of the former publisher of this paper,
Julius H. Keyes. The deceased was
known to many Of our older residents
Vienna Thompson Churchill was
born at Montville, Conn, January II,
1911. She was united in marriage
with James W. Churchill in the fall Of
1913, at Norwich, Conn, and settled
near Batavia. n. Y. Ten years from
that date she migrated to Wisconsin
and settled at Lake Mills, which has
since been the family home Two
children were born to them, Mrs M
V. Dudley, now of Jacksonville, Fla,
and Mrs. M. G. Keyes, of Madison.
Mrs. Churchill's death occurred on
Sunday morning, July 25, and her
burial from her home in this village at

resting place.
Mrs. Churchill was the eldest of a
typical New England family of six
daughters and two sons, and carried
through life many of their characteris-
tics; a woman well reared, of deli
cate and refined taste, which she re-
tanned to the end Of long life.
She was purely domestic in her life
and habits, and home and it's environ
ments were all in all to her. Like
many another home-maker with no
herald before her, she went through
life uncrowned, her praises unsung.
Most OF her contemporaries sleep their
sleep with her. 1t is therefore fitting
that one who bas known her longest
should pay this brief and fitting trib-
ute to her memory.

General Wilson's division, which
includes the Second and Third Wis
consin regiments, landed on the south
ern coast Of Porto Rico last week and is
now actually engaged in the war with
Spain. The assignment of our regi-
ments is thus alluded to in a dispatch
to The Milwaukee Sentinel:
General Wilson pushed the troops
under General Ernst, consisting of the
Second and Third Wisconsin and the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiments, out
a mile and half on the military road
after dusk Saturday night, retaining
two companies of the Sixteenth to act
as provost guard in the city.
''Captt in Allison has been appointed
provost marshal, and with the aid OF
the local constabulary has preserved
excellent order, although almost the
entire population of the city remained
in the streets celebrating the arrival
of their American liberators long after
midnight.
During the night all sorts of wild
rumOrs were brought in to General
Wilson. The first was that the Span
ish were to attack the city in force.
In view ofIthis, a strong line of outposts
was maintained by General Ernst and
the men slept on their arms. This
report, however, soon gave way to
rumors that the Spanish were retreat
ing, putting entire villages, planta-
tion buildings and houses to the torch
and numbering and ravishing as they
went. Some of the wealthy plantation
owners of the vicinity became horror
stricken and appealed wildly to Gen
eral Wilson to dispatch troops to the
rescue, but it was manifestly impossi-
bic to divide so small a force"

AN 4 INJUNCTION SUIT.
Koenig Brothers Will Attempt to Pre-
vent the City from Filling
the Mill Race

vent the City from Filling
the Mill Race.
On Monday papers were served on
Mayor Mulberger and City Clerk Bic
Der, as representatives of the city of
Watertown, in an action brought by
Rudolph P. and George Koenig against
the city to enjoin the latter from filing
up the south end of the east side mill
race. The defendants are summoned
to appear before Judge Grimm at JEFF
fersOn within twenty days and make
an answer. r. B. and l. b. kirkland,
of Jefferson, are the plaintiffs counsel.
Messrs. Koenig are proprietors of
the Eagle Roller mills and claim to
have a property right in that portion
OF the mill race which the city author
tiles expect to fill up. At a meeting
of the common council, June 21,
resolution was passed providing for
the filling up of that portion of the
race beginning at it's now southern
extremity and extending 10 the north
line of Milwaukee street. The city's
interest in the race came about by the
acquisition of the waterworks plant
being handed down by the Globe Mill
ing company to the original Water
works company when the site for the
power house was purchased. 1t is al
legged by the plaintiffs, among other
things, that the intended filing up of
the race would deprive them of 3
needed reservoir, thus compelling the
instituting of greater steam power in
their mills, and also would compel them
toacquire another strip of land through
which to build sluice-way. In the
event of the city carrying out the pro-
posed plan, the plaintiffs claim great
injury would result to their interests.
The outcome of the case will be
awaited with much concern by our
citizens.

considerable cost for the purpose of using the
same in putting down macadam pavement.
Wherefore, your petitioners respectfully re-
quest, that correct estimates be made of the
