broken into the past winter and other
depredations committed around the
premises by some unknown parties The
latest to come to our notice is at Quams
Park where 90 Melaas' two cottages
and also his boat house have all been
broken into. A spy should be- put on
the track and the guilty ones made to
suffer.

A farmer by the name of Van Wart,
| living some miles south of Cooksville,
| was found by John Dahl last Saturday
afternoon about 21@ miles north of
Cooksville, lying unconscious in the bot
tom of his bob sleigh, while his horses
were also helpless, having been pulled
down by the lines which had fallen I'M
der the sleigh runners from the hands
| of the driver. He was taken to Mr.
Dahrs home which was only half mile
| distant and efforts were made to revive

| be drunken stupor, but his condition
! became alarming and in the evening DR.
| Trulson was summoned from here. The
| medicine administered was effective and
| Sunday forenoon he was able to proceed

| Geo W Coon met with verypeculiar
experience last Friday which would be
hard to duplicate. While riding on the
train not far from Peoria the entire

about eighty rods into an adjoining field
tipped over. Every car was wrecked.
Mr. Coon was in the rear coach which
suffered least of all, being merely over
turned. Notwithstanding the fact that
the train was running at speed OF about
so miles an hour when the accident &C.
CURED. no one was killed or seriously in
jured.

Indian to fashionable summer resort

dotted with the wigwams and council

rows of pretty, modern summer cottages
At least this is the present program and
! there is no reason to doubt that it will
be fulfilled. S Pierce has plated a
large tract of his property along the lake
front, to be known as Pierce's Addition,
and the lots have been placed on sale
through Winch & Son of this village.
This will be good news to many in this

home on one of the prettiest lakes in
Wisconsin within driving distance of
their home or business. Another evil

building passenger boat to be put in
commission the coming season, and will
make regular trips about the lake each
day. The boat is designed to carry 20
passengers and will be run by a gasoline
