Water Power to be Sold at Auction.

At public auction in Beloit on Mar.
B a portion of the Indian Ford water
power, owned BY the Rock River Water
Power Co., will be sold under the ham
mer.ss. This reserve water power has not
been needed by the present owners dur
ing recent years and as the stockholders
are widely scattered, many residing in
Beloit, Rockford and other cities, it has
been thought best to dispose of it.
The dam was constructed in41878 at a
cost of $4,000 and since that time $4,000
has been expended in improvements.
The property is in good condition ar
the rights of ownership have not been
seriously impaired. Three years ago
suit was brought by VIM. Taylor, who
formerly ran a summer hotel on Lake
Koshkonong, to restrain the company
from lowering the water of the lake in
such manner as is expose the weeds
along the beach. Judge Dick who pre-.
sided at the trial made ruling that the
water, must be kept at the crest of the
dam. The case was never taken to the
supreme court as the company did not
feel that the decision would cripple
them in any way. The power will I'M
doubleday be purchased by Pliny Nor
cross, who already owns large share of
the first water rights and the power sta
ton at Indian Ford.

Master, pronounced the Masonic funeral
Grafton at the church and the burial
rites at the grave. A feeling of genuine
sorrow prevailed the entire occasion.
Conn & Schmidt's store was broken
into Sunday by couple of youthful
burglars and few dollars of change and
other articles taken. In returning
from the funeral Mr.. Conn stopped at
the store and discovered that some one
had come up through the cellar and
broken into the change drawer and then
happened to think he met a couple of
boys on the street few moments before
eating sardines from box, it occurred
that they might be the guilty parties.
So he hunted up the boys, Fred Stanke
and Carl Tibert, and accused them of
the crime. At first they stoutly denied
it but when pressed finally broke down
admitting they had been through the
store and returned most of the money
taken. Dist. Atty Jackson had the boys
up before Justice Smith Wednesday
when they plead guilty of the charge
preferred, which means a term at the re-
form scho,l But on account of the ages
of the boys, who are but IL years, the
judge suspended sentence during their
good behavior and thus stands as a
menace over them. 1t is to be hoped
that these lads, as we'll as others about
town, will see the necessity of mending
their ways.

Small Fire Loss.

Smoke that was seen emerging from
DR.. w. c. McManus' barn was the cause
of sending in an alarm of fire at o'clock
Monday evening. The department was
quick in responding, but the flames had
eaten into the hay NOW and made quite
a stubborn fire.. The barn was an iron
clad building and the fire confined to the
interior until couple of lines of, hose
soon had it under control, though the
roof was considerably damaged. The
first on the ground released horse and
COW stabbed in the building, ran out the
carriages and removed some harness and
furniture stored there. But few feet
away stood Thompsons livery barn and
in the rear number of wood buildings
so that if the fire had gotten beyond
control there was prospect for quite an
extensive fire. An examination OF the
premises the next morning showed con-
clusively the cause of the fire. The pipe
of stove used to warm the room of the
hostler passed through wooden parti-
ton before going into the chimney and
the flames had burned away large hole
in the partition. 1t was in this part of
the barn that the fire was seen by those
first on the ground. The Doctor and his
driver was out in the country attending
calls when the fire broke out and did
not return until all was over. 1t is be-
lieyed a couple of hundred dollars will
cover the loss. An insurance of $3.50
was carried on the building.
