ON TO POWERS LAKE
Wisconsin Telephone Company Plans
Extensive Network of Lines in
the Western Part Of County.
LINE STARTS AT GENOA JUNCTION

The Wisconsin Telephone company
this morning commenced work on
new line of rural phones in the
county, which will result in the town
of Randall and. portions of the towns
of Salem and Pleasant Prairie being
added to the big Bell circuit of toll
lines. The line started this morning
begins at Genoa Junction and extends
all over the western part of the
county. The poles were set today for
the building of the line from Genoa
Junction to Powers Lake, and as the
frost is nearly out Of the ground it is
thought that the poles for the entire
line can be set during the next two
weeks. The line will touch part of
the county not in the telephone belt
and will open the summer resort and
ice cutting regions of the county by
giving them connections with Keno
sha and the outside world.
In the past years these resorts have
been connected with Chicago with
phones of the Chicago Telephone
company, but there has been abso1u-
te1y no connection with this city and
Milwaukee.
The route laid out for the new line
of the Bell people includes complete
circuit, so that the line will eventually
be connected with the line at Pleasant
Prairie. This line is not portion of
the system of lines planned by the
company in the town of Bristol and it
will be independent of that line. The
managers of the company claim that
their agents have been met with open
arms and nearly every farmer on the
proposed line has consented to have
the instruments placed in the house.
This line will be completed by the
first Of May, and it is expected that
the line to Bristol and the east line to
Winthrop Harbor and Russell will be
completed by the same time. It is
claimed that the completion of these
lines will give the farmers of the
county the finest telephone service in
any of the counties of the state.

DID NOT CALL POLICE
R. H. Marshall Says He Was Absent While
Son Was Sought by Police

Kenosha, Wis, March %, 1904.
Editor News,
Dear Sir:-I have just had my at
tention called to an article concern
ing me and mine, published in your
paper during my absence from home.
AS it reflects on my honor and hui
manity and is entirely unsupported by
truth as regards myself, you, am
certain, will make proper correction.
have been in La Sale, ILL.,, since the
second of this month, which fact
alone will refute the part of the story
of my telephoning to an officer or
any one else in this place, from Chi
cago. | am first enlightened today,
in regard to that or anything else
printed by you in regard to the unfor-
tunate Earl. That I did want him
taken care of do not disguise; that l
did consult with parties who, I had
every right to believe, were Christian
and human and capable of giving good
advice, is also fact. Had the action
determined on been carried out
quietly, there can be no doubt that it
would have been for the great benefit
of all concerned.
That I was, and am, opposed to hav-
ing skeletons from my private closet
pulled out and paraded to feed ,lthe
rapacious NAV of an ever eager and
scandal loving public, is equally true.
will only add in conclusion, that
were all the facts known, and most Of
them are Of record and easily ascer-
tainab1e, instead of being subjects of
condemnation, all right thinking and
charitab1y disposed people would shed
tears of sympathy for all parties con-
cerned. r. H. MARSHALL.

MAKE GOOD TERMS.
Attorneys for Railway and Dr.. DoWie
Set Price for Zion City Right
Of Way.
THE ROUTE WILL COST $4,000.

Terms of settlement have been
reached in the long contested con-
demnation suit of the Chicago, Wau-
kegan and North Shore railway com
pany through Zion City.
At the time the company started
it's suit, Dowie maintained that tn .
passage of the road through his city
should result in remuneration of
$780, to him. He estimated the
value of the land at 1000 an acre.
The terms of settlement it is an
nounced was reached yesterday in a
conference held in the chambers of
Judge Donne11y at Waukegan with
Attorney Grover of the3 railway COM
pany and Attorney Louder, of the
Zion legal force.
The terms of settlement provide
that Dowie shall receive $500, an acre
for land actually used in the right of
way and a modest damage for land
damaged but not directly used. The
aggregate amount to be paid to Dowie
through the deal is said to be $4,000.
The settlement as reac hed between
the interested parties is very import
ant to the completion Of the project
in question for the Zion tract was
considered the hardest to obtain and
it was feared that the price demand
ed by Dowie would be such that the
company would almost be kept out.
The reasonable adjustment is looked
upon with delight by promoters of the
old Clarke project who now state that
the road will surely be built.
It will be reca11ed that both sides
waived jury last fall and agreed
that they would accept decision fix
ed by Judge Donne11y. He visited
Zion, looked over the land and the
figures here given were arrived at.

George Davis, Of Trevor, Meets Death
in the Roaring Torrents on
POIlyWog Creek.
FUTILE EFFORT TO SAVE LIFE.
Davis Was Attempting to Rescue Team
of Horses When He Was Caught and
Carried Under the Ice.

George Davis, forty years Of age
and one Of the well known farmers of
the town of Salem, was drowned in
Po11ywog Creek in that town shortly
after three o'clock Wednesday after
noon. Davis lost his life in an effort
to rescue a team of horses belonging
to a friend. The two men had been
at work near the swollen stream and
the companion Of Davis had started
to ford the stream. The horses were
caught in the current and could not
make the other bank. Davis vo1un
teered to assist in rescuing the team
and went to house near by and Sc
cured an old boat. He brought the
boat and managed with the aid of it
to reach the sinking animals. It look
ed for a minute as if his efforts to save
the horsesswou1d be successful but
the animals exhausted by their long
struggle in the cold water made an
effort to get into the little boat and
horses and man we're carried down
under the ice.
Efforts were made to rescue Davis
but he never came to the surface. It
is probable that his body was caught
under the capsized boat. The acct
dent caused great excitement in the
neighborhood and in a short time a
great crowd.gathered on the bank of
the stream to break the ice and seek
the body of the drowned man. It
was found later in the evening and
removed to the Davis home. Mrs.
Davis was Frustrated by the accident.
The deceased was one of the best
known of the farmers of the town of
Salem. He had been a resident of
the town for number of years and
was very popular among his friends
and neighbors. He is survived by a
widow and four children. The little
creek in which the man lost his life is
so small that it does not even appear
on the plat of the county and at most
times of the year it is little more than
ditch. It is however the outlet for a
large amount of surface water and
during the heavy thaws it was filled
up until it became a considerable
stream. The banks on either side of
it at the scene of the accident are
from seven to ten feet high and they
had been completely filled with water.
At the point where the accident oc-
Cured it is stated that the water was
more than twenty feet deep.
