resided on the Coffee road, south of

by sudden jolt of the wagon.

DEATHS.

The death of Christian Becker of
this city which occurred at 8:15 Satur-
day morning was a severe shock to the
people of this city. Mr.. Becker had
beer sick for only one week and it was
generally thought that it was not quite
as serious case. His sickness was
probably caused by overlifting.
Deceased was born in this city Feb
ruary 10, 1851. He was the son Of
John and Margaret Becker who set
tied here in 1847. Christian Becker
was we'll known business man having
been engaged in the grocery business
since the age of Il years. He was
married to Kate Thauer September 7,
1878. He was at one time a member
OF the fire department, acting for sew
eral years as treasurer of the Phoenix
Hose Co.
Mr.. Becker was man well liked
by all who knew him and during his
business career as grocerman had
built up an enormous trade by his
honest dealing and curtesies shown to
his customers, moi only in the city,
but in the country In his home life
he was a great favorite, and took
pleasuse in making for his dear ones a
happy home. He leaves to mourn his
loss widow and five children, Ida,
Eveline, Lille, Katie and William
Becker. The funeral was held Tues.
day afternoon and his friends turned
out in hundreds to pay their last re-
spect to such a nd-hearted man.

Common Council meeting Tuesday
evening. Mayor Brusenbash present.
Aldermen absent were Radtke and
Davies.
The meeting was short and but lit
tie business transacted.
The committee On sewerage reported
that a sewer be constructed in College
street. Adopted.
The board of public works reported
on bids from VIM. Gorder Co. and E..
L. Bartlett for laying a sewer in
North Washington street. The bids
were itemized and E. L. Bartlett's was
the lowest. The report was adopted
Aid. Ryan read resolution to con-
struct sewer in College street, which
was adopted.
A resolution was introduced to re-
move the street lamps on such places
where they come in contact with the
foliage and don't give proper light.
This resolution does not intefere with
the city ordinance, regarding the
trimming of trees, but as proper street
lighting is necessary in city and
to those delinquent residents who neg
lect this work the penalty will be to
remove the light to such place where
it will give better service not alone to
the residents but to the pedestrians
as we'll. The resolution was adopted.
Aid. Mayer introduced q resolution
to repair part of North Washington
street which is said to be in a bad
condition. The steam roller will be
taken over during the leisure time
from the street paving work and the
bed will be rolled down. Adopted.
Aid Prentiss introduced a resolution
to place Welsbach street lamps at the
corners of Market and First and Mil
waokee streets and remarked that he
knew the city's expense for street
lighting but as there was considerable
travel the lights would be of much
benefit. This part of the meeting
took up considerable time and on
motion the resolution was lost. Ayes

WERE EASY PICKING
The Locals Defeat Jefferson to the
Tune Of 13 to 8.

The strong Jefferson ball team came
up last Sunday and crossed bats with
the locals at Washington Park, and
when the final inning was ended the
tune was 13 to 8 favor favor of our
Watertown boys. Watertown put up
a snappy game in spite of the muddy
grounds while Jefferson succeeded in
making ten errors. Although a light
rain fell nearly during the entire game
fair crowd was in attendance, but
not near as large, as the boys expected,
catcher Schultz. was absent and Beer
baum was second in his place and he
caught fine game and also hit the
ball hard
In the first inning our boys began
making trouble and continued doing
so during the entire game. Hahn was
first up and he poked liner over
3rd base, Miller followed with another
past short Nenow flew out, johnson
drew a pass, and Schmutzler was CIV
en- dead ball and Hahn was forced
across the plate. Packard then hit a
swift one to short, who flmbled it al
lowing Miller to score and johnson
scored Immediately after that on an
out to first; Beerbaum then struck out
and the side was retired with the score
to 0 in favor of the locals. In the
third inning the most trouble began,
Schmutzler started off with a single
Packard took first on an error, Stein
berg struck out Beerbaum hit to Buchta
and Packard was put out at the plate,
Hahn them poked the ball to the fence
over the center fielder's head for two
bases scoring Beerbaum and Schlueter
ahead of him; Miller received first on
an error by Kroenig and Hahn scored,
Nenow and johnson each followed
with singles and Miller crossed the
plate with the fifth run of the inning,
Schmutzler then went out to first and
the side was retired with the score s
to in favor of the locals. In the
fifth the locals added another on
Sehlueter's double and an error Dur
ing these five innings Jefferson went
out in one, two, three order, but in the
9th Kroenig poked out single over
f,11 ~.
in the same place. Nevins then went
to first on dead ball and the bases
were full nobody out, our boys then
punched up and played the game.
Hibbard the next man up hit to Hahn
who threw out Kroening at the plate.
Turner dropped the ball right in front
of the plate and Buchta was retired.
out of the play and Nevins scored,
Hibbard also tried to score on the play
added another in the same inning and
the inning and the score was then 10
to l against Jefferson, in the 7th the
locals added another one on a base on
balls to Hahn followed by Nenow's
two bagger. In the 8th Jefferson
added two more to their credit on a
dead ball pass an error and double
by Buchta, the locals thought they
would even up matters in this inning
and also added two more on an err or
pass and hits by Schmutzler and
Beerbaum; Jefferson could do nothing
in their half of the ninth and the game
was ended.
The locals have not yet been de-
feated on the home grounds this year
having an unbroken string of victories
and not even the strong Jefferson team
could do the trick.
Following is the score by innings
and each mans individual playing.
