Play in Hard Luck.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The Reedsburg city team defeat
ed the Baraboo city nine at Reeds
burg yesterday by score of 3 to l.
The visitors out-played the home
team but the latter was more for
tunate. Reedsburg was shut out
for seven innings, and it looked as
though the game would result in a
l to 0 score in favor of Baraboo,
but in the eighth inning, with men
on bases and weak hitter up,
Lindsay put an easy one over the
plate and the unexpected happened.
The kid landed on it, the ball sailed
over third base and thereby hangs
the tale. Lindsay did fine work in
the box and was ably supported.
The game was an interesting one
but only a small crowd W. 1essed it.
BY the way. those people who are
accustomed to kicking about their
own town being dead, ought to get
out of it occasionally and observe
the conditions in other towns.

Ennis, north of Portage, will use
from l, 200 to l, 400 horse power.
The Southern Wisconsin Power
Co. has already closed contracts for
four power units of $500 horse pow
er each and can furnish all adjacent
towns with all the power needed.
This will give our neighboring towns
much cheaper power and contin-
uous service day and night.
1t is now believed that, in trans
mitting power to Madison for street
car service, etc. the current will be
transmitted to that city via Por-
tage instead of Baraboo as at first
planned. This will not in any way
interfere with the building of the
electric road to Baraboo and Devils
Lake.
