Tuesday. He has just returned from
Sioux Falls, S. D., where he has manag-
ed ball team during the season. He
brings the information that Frank Blan-

that Will Sullivan, catcher for the Chi

ball will be held there and everyone who
likes to dance are cordially invited to

Fred Schulz an employe of the Wis
consin Bridge Co. which is now erecting
a new bridge at MELVILLE, caught his
hand in the cogs of derrick wicdlass
Monday, crushing it 50 badly that DR..
McChesney was called upon to dress the
wound. He will probably not lose the
use of his hand, but one finger was SO
badly smashed that it was removed and
he will be laid up for some time.
Mrs. Hans Johnson, who lives in the
western portion of town, was examined
for her sanity by Drs. W. G. and Geo. r.
McManus Tuesday, by order of Judge
Sale. On receiving their report the
Judge issued commitment and Sheriff
Maltpress conveyed the unfortunate
lady to the Mendoza hospital Thursday.
Her malady is believed to be of mild
nature that will yield readily to treat
ment. The family came to Edgerton
from Rockdale few months ago.
1t is singular fact, though it may
not have occurred to many, that nearly
every case of typhoid that has developed
in our city of late has been in families
that were using water from local wells
rather than that of the waterworks ser
vice. In view Of these circumstances it
would seem that a good many of the
wells about town are contaminated and
the people ought to use some means to
remedy the defect. A good idea would
be to boil all the water before drinking,
which is practiced in many places that
are threatened with epidemics.
On the inside pages of this paper
will be found published the order of the
circuit court authorizing L. Ell. Towne,
receiver of the old Bank of Edgerton, to
sell, either at public or private sale, the
uncollected assets of the defunct bank.
The schedule includes notes and evil
dences of indebtedness aggregating over
$60,00O but the creditors will not be able
| to realize very much from their sale, we
imagine. Here is an opportunity, how
ever, for anyone with speculative ten
dency to take flyer on bunch of Sc
curities that won't cost much as an orr
ginal investment.
| Miss Mamie Herrick, who had been
seriously i'll with typhoid fever at the
home of her mother in this city for the
past three weeks, died Tuesday morning
at o'clock. The fever assumed a ma
| lignant type from the start and although
everything that medical skill and nurs-
ing could devise was done, the disease
carried her away. The deceased was 26
years of age. She had prepared herself
for teacher and was fairly started on a
life of usefulness when her career was
cut short. She had engaged to teach
the school in the Cook district north of
town and the term was about to com
mence when she was stricken with fever
Aside from her parents sister and two
brothers survive to mourn her untimely
demise. Funeral took place from the
M. E. church Thursday afternoon at 2
