Charles E Green, son of the late Mr.
and Mrs Joseph B Green of this city,
who were run down while attempting to
pass the Mckee boulevard crossing in a
buggy several months ago and killed, has
commenced suit for $4,000 and $1,000
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul railroad.
D Lindsay of Salt Lake City, Utah.
has arrived in the city to assume the du-
ties of local passenger agent of the Chi
cage u North Western railroad, in place
OF A n Gleason, resigned. Mr. Lindsay
has been with the company many years,
latterly being located in the city which
he has just left. At one time he was
agent at Watertown, Wis. He has been
successful to every position to which he
has been called and the new one will
prove no exception.
The police have solved the reported
hold-up Of farmer named Flemming.
According to his story, he was held up
and robbed by two masked men while
going home from the election jubilee OF
$50 he had not been able to bet on the
election. When cornered by the police
he admitted the story was fake and
that he had loaned the money to
friend.

The question of deciding who will be
| the next city marshal in place of the late
John W Hogan is disturbing the city
| fathers just at present, and more politics
are being infused in the question than
there was in the recent state election.
Five candidates have announced them
selves. The present acting marshal,
John Brown, three ex-sheriffs, William
Appleby. T Acheson and Aid j Com
stock, and Sheriff Woerge Appleby.
There is a strong sentiment to organize
a police department by having the city
charter amended.
Since the recent election the city faith
ers have taken up the serious considora-
ton of dividing the Third and Fourth
wards of the city into two more wards,
making seven. The reason given for the
change is that in these two wards the
total registration was over 900 with but
one voting precinct in each ward. AS
machines were used the rate of voting
was one in less than minute during the
70O minutes the polls were open. The
Third ward is particularly large and ex-
tends from the north end of the city
limits to the southeast end. The same
is true of the Fourth ward. In these
two wards are included most of the fac
tories and the growing residence portion
of the city. The residents of these lower
districts have long been clamorous for
representation in the council and for
special police protection. 1t is also
thought that with two more wards added
to the list of supervisors the city would
be better represented on the county
board. The matter will doubtless be
taken up by petition so as to have the
wards established at the spring election.

Jim Boudish was struck by 9 G
Clarkes automobile Sunday afternoon
at the railroad crossing at Main street.
His collar bone was broken and several
ribs cracked. Despite his injuries he
was able to get into the automobile and
was carried to the Richmond hotel where
he boards.
That the people of our village are en-
terprising is fully established and many
improvements are to be expected as re-
suit of the new organization. No one
thing would add more to the appearance
or dignity of the town than the erection
Of the new Whitford Memorial hall, the
corner stone of which was laid last June.
The science and library building is
greatly needed and increased facilities
would materially advance the prosperity
of the college. From the alumni, former
students and friends must largely
come the necessary means. There are,
however, many loyal women of Milton
college who would also like to be repre-
sented IN the completion of this build
ing.
FE Osborn, an aged veteran of the
Civil war, committed suicide Saturday
afternoon by hanging himself to rafter
in his barn at Milton. He was found by
his brother, Henry Osborn, but too late
to save his life. Mr. Osborn was seventy
five years of age and an old resident OF
Rock county. A little over month ago
Mr. Osborn was married to Mrs Ben
Carey of GAINESVILLE, and despite his
years was considered to be very happy
in the family. He was seen about the
streets in the morning and just before
dinner helped his brother harness his
team. Friday he did his share cutting
wood and was very cheerful and happy.
He was wellro-do and apparently in the
best of health. Mr. Osborn enlisted in
the Civil war in Co E of the 22d regi-
ment, Capt Wild's company, recruited in
Rock county, and served throughout the
