Cattle Create Excitement

Charles Deierlein experienced con-
siderable difficulty and loss 'Wednes-
day evening while transferring three
head OF cattle from the St. Paul to the
Northwestern depot. He purchased
them at Madison stock farm and was
shipping them to his farm near Amigo.
They were valued at $500 and consist
ed of two COWS and bull The ami
mails ran away and when they reached
Emerald street the COWS ran into Rock
river Both of the animals were hob
bled and as a consequence could not
swim. One of them drowned but the
other one succeeded in breaking the
hobbies and swan to the shore where
she was caught and placed in a barn.
During this time the bull was in
possession of the Sixth ward. An at
tempt was made to corner him in a
corn field but he was too much for
them. The animal was finally cap
tured on Thursday morning by Emil
Berg who succeeded in roping him at
Boughton's farm. The stock was then
shipped to Amigo.

From the Republican,
July 7. 1870.

On Monday night fire broke out in
the south end of the old Blanchard
Custom Flourishing Mill in the First
ward and before the fire department
reached the ground for duty the
flames had made such rrpid headway
that all the efforts made by the two
steamers to stay the fire, were un-
availing. Fortunately the mill was
not very heavily stocked; but Mr..
Pritzlatf's loss was heavy notwith-
standing. as the place was only In
insured for $4,000 and the machinery
and contents alone were valued at $15,-
900. In the destruction of this mill
one of the Oldest landmarks of Water
town was removed. it being the first
mill in this locality. The fire was
one of the most disasterous which has
ever visited the place and resulted In
the destruction of plant which the
people could i'll afford to lose.

brated in various parts of the city.

THE KUNERT FACTORY.

Prominent among the manufacture
ing enterprises of Watertown, with a
reputation that has spread through
this and adjoining states. is that of
the E. Kunert Manufacturing Co.
This is one of the mainstay institu-
tions of the city, having been estab-
lished over thirty years ago. The
plant of this company is one of the
most thoroughly equipped of it's kind
that can be found in this portion of
the country and it's products possess
improvements that are universally ad-
mired wherever they are in use, as for
durability they are undeniably unex-

Co. are manufacturers of high and low
truss steel bridges and brewers outfits,
and in connection with the factory
they conduct a splendidly equipped
machine shop and foundry and boil
er shop. They make speciality of

manufacture of high e, ade improved
steel bridges of all kinds for highways
and railroads. Bridges are one of the
greatest boons to civilization and pro-

ternational commerce. They not only
assist us in communicating with each
other but they are essential to daily
traffic. Upon the foremost beam of
many of the numerous bridges that
span the lowlands of this and other
states can be seen the name of The E.
Kunert Manufacturing Co., builders.
Their traction, portable, upright and
horizontal engines are so we'll known
that they need no special comment
here, In addition to the line of work
we have mentioned they also do steam
and hot water heating.

by this coLcern it may be stated that
they are at present engaged in turn

To The Public.

I desire to warn the citizens of Wis
consin against great many fire lnsur-
ance companies that are transactlng
business in the state without any
authority and in direct violation OF the
law
The department of insurance receives
inquiries nearly every day about COM
panies that are not licensed to transact
business in Wisconsin. Any company
that is willing to defy and evade the
laws of this state cannot be trusted to
settle its claims. Furthermore, a
polio, Lolder having claim against
one of those wild cat companies would
be compelled to bring suit against the
company in the state in which it is Or
ganized in order to recover his claim,
and the chances are that he could col
lect nothing from the company.
The laws of Wisconsin provide that
any person representing unauthorized
companies in this state, is liable to the
insured in case of loss and the COM
pany refuses to pay it. In most cases,
however, wild cat companies cannot
secure responsible people to represent
them, therefore, this law does
not protect the insured, for as rule,
persons representing wild cat compan-
les are irresponsible and judgement
against them is worthless.
During the past six months. | have
heard of the following companies
transacting business in this state with
out license:
American Trust and Insurance Co.
of Illinois, American Underwriters of
Illinois, Commonwealth Insurance Co.
of Illinois. Commonwealth Savings
and Insurance Co. of Virginia, Great
| Northern Insurance Co. of Illinois,
Great Western Underwriters of Hi
nois, Mercantile Fire Insurance Co. of
Illinois, National Insurance and Invest
ment Co. of Delaware, Northern Fire
| Insurance Co. OF Illinois.
These companies have no standing
| in their own states and are defraudlng
| this state of taxes and fees of which
| this department has collected, during
| the past six months, 100000 from
duly authorized companies. 1t is an
| injustice to authorized companies to
| permit wild cat companies to transact
/ business in the state, and with a view
of eliminating wild cat insurance,
appeal to the public to investigate
their insurance companies to trans
act business in Wisconsin, by calling
on their agent and requesting him to
show his certificate of authority to
represent the company, unless they
are positive the agent has such author
ity. Furthermore, a policy holder
accepting insurance in wild cat COM
panies is liable to the city, village or
town maintaining a regularly organ
lied fire department for the taxes due
them for the maintenance of such de-
partment, and is guilty of violating
the laws of Wisconsin if the tax is not
paid annually to the treasurer of the

Lightning Destroys.

During the severe thunder storm
Thursday afternoon a straw stack on
John Mueller's farm, in the Seventh
ward, was struck by lightning about 6
o'clock in the afternoon. The fire
slowly gained headway and about s
o'clock it spread to the barn and other
adjoining buildings which were de-
stroyed, Also two pigs and some
chickens were burned in the fire.
Mr. MueHer's SOP came and notified
the fire department about $40. The
departments Immediately responded
but when they reached the railroad
track, it was discovered that their SER
vices were not needed. About one
block beyond the track, where the gas
company had excavated for laying
of pipes, one of the horses attached to
hose cart No. fell into the ditch, and
while the men were trying to get it
out, the other one walked to the left
and fell into another ditch. The
horses were finally both pulled to the
surface without injury.
