ROCK RIVER
ANOTHER VICTIM
ALBERT WlTTNEBEL MET HIS
DEATH SUNDAY MORNING..
Young Man. With Companions.
We're Enjoying d SWim-PrObd-
bly, Taken With CrdmpS-OtherS
Said to Have Run-Fdrmer to
the Rescue. But Too Late.

The waters of the Rock river have
claimed another victim. This time
the unfortunate to meet death by drow-
ming was Albert Wittnebel, young
man about % years of age, son of
August Wittnebel, a farmer who re-
sides about ten miles east of the city.
The sad drowning occurred Sunday
morning while the victim and par ty
of two other young men were en-
joying a swim in the river at point
between Lebanon and Ashippun. The
party who gave the Leader the par
ticulars of the drowning stated that
the members of the party could swim
including the victim. While the
young men were in the height of their
frolic, it is said that young Wittnebel
threw up his hands and gave cry of
distress, whereupon he sank. The
story is that the young men who were
with him, instead of Fastening to the
rescue, left the scene in haste and the
young drowning man to the mercy of
the waters OF the Rock river. 1t
seems that their first impression was
that their companion was fooling.
The report is that Albert Tesch, a
young farmer who was engaged in
haying near the scene of the accident,
upon learning of the occurrence, rushed
to the river and plunged in without
stopping to disrobe. He finally located
the body, but the last spark of life
had vanished and all efforts at resusci-
tation were futile.
The young mans father and mother
were in Watertown at the time of
the accident. They were informed of
the occurrence by telephone and de-
parted for their home filled with
grief The son who met his
untimely death is highly spoken of by
all who know him. He was carpen-
ter by trade and an Industrious. hard
working young man. The parents
have the heartfelt sympathy of all who
have learned of the accident
HI 1t is probable that young Wittnebel
was taken with cramps and was unable
to help himself.

ENTHUSIASTIC FOR
HOME COMING" DAY
SUNDAY AUGUST FIFTH Is THE
DATE SET.
Meeting Held Yesterday TO Plan
for Coming Mayor Null
berger PreSid6d--COmmitteGS are
Named to Go Ahead With Work
Grand Time Expected.

coming day is not to be abandoned
by the citizens of WatertoWn and this
summer the glorious Gay will be ceie-
brated with the enthusiasm that has
been characteristic from its inception
few years ago.
This WAS determined at meeting
Of interested citizens held at the office
of EX-M&yor Herman Wertheimer yes
terday afternoon. There had been a
wrong impression which had gained
credence with some to the effect that
there would be no celebration of the
day this year for the reason that the
Watertown Club Of Milwaukee. the
members of which originated the idea
three years ago, had sent word
through their president, Ernst A
kehr, that the organization could not
come in body, for the reason that
they could not secure a sufficiently
low railway fare and would therefore
abandon the excursion plan this year
The failure ON the part of the mem
bers of the Watertown club at Mil
waukee will make no difference with
the citizens of Watertown as far as
going ahead and making arrangements
for the event is concerned.
There was a fairly good attendance
of representative citizens present at
the meeting and ii was the consensus
of opinion and action that there he a
celebration of homecoming day this
year, as has been the custom for the
past three years. The idea of a home
coming day originated in the New
Engl; nd states a number OF years ago
and Waterfowl was one of the first
cities in the middle-west to adopt the
custom and those in attendance at the
meeting yesterday We're strongly of
the opinion that there should be no
relaxation in the enthusiasm of the
past, but on the contrary that arrange
ments should be made then and there
for arranging for the celebration on
the date that was decided upon last
wear. That date was Sunday, Au-
gust 5th. While the time is fast APP
preaching, it was felt that there
should be no change in the date, for
it had not been given out that there
would be TO celebration.
The meeting was held upon the call
of Mayor Arthur Mulberger, who
briefly stated the object of the gather
ing--to promote the homecoming of
former citizens. He made reference
to the action taken on the part of the
Watertown Club Of Milwaukee. He
argued that despite the fact referred
to the citizens of Watertown should go
ahead ad prepare for those who wished
to visit the city on the date and enter
tain them in modest way. 1t was
the general belief of those present
that there would be a good sized
gathering notwithstanding the refusal
of the railway company to give as
good terms as in former years. Here
tofore, the railway company has given
a rebate, which with the Milwaukee
visitors has gone to defray the expense
of a band to accompany them. 1t was
suggested yesterday lllaL DCIn Oh the

eURIALS IN CUBA.
Customs That Remind One Of the
Parsees Of Bombay.

Customs That Remind One OF the
Parsees Of Bombay.
Burial customs In Cuba are almost
a. strange as the Parsee customs and
their towers OF silence In Bombay IL
seems that the reOpening OF graves In
Cuba is the result OF long established
custom Of burying as many bodies as
possible In a single grave. The GENE
terry routine Is like this:
First some one, usually the head OF
a family. buys a plot He Mt once sets
to work digging his own grave ana
graves for all the members Of his fam
Ily. He digs several graves six feet
long for adults and one grave four feet
long to provide for the possible death
of a child When the entire area or the
plot Is thus In open graves the digger
turns mason and plasterer. He ce-
ments each grave, bottom and sides
Then he fills In the cemented graves
with soil and goes home with the salts
factory thought that he may look upon
his own grave during his lifetime anu
that ii IL ready for him at any time ne
Is ready for II.
But the weirdest part Of this custom
is yet to he told In the middle OF the
plot a square grave is dug, a hole
about six feet each way. This square
hole il cemented like the graves aud
filed in with soil. II should be explain
ed here that the bodies In the graves
are covered with qulcklIme. When the
flesh has disappeared and only the
bones are left the bones are taken out
Of the grave and thrown into the
square hole in the center OF the plot
Thus the graves are used over ana
over again until the square hole In the
center IL filed with the bones OF the
members Of this or that family. Then
the hole Is sealed over. and that paA'
ticular family plot II abandoned and q
new one purchased .-Iondon Tit-Bits.

BINGHAM NEW HAVEN is
NOW A DIVIDEND PAYER

No matter what may be said about a
mine or anything else in a business
way for that matter, It will have little
effect unless there is some results
shown which will make the property or
the enterprise something worth while.
In a mine it is the dividends which are
the indicators of what the thing is
worth, and when these come after en-
ergetic work has been done on a prop
erty. then the mine and the company
has an advocate who win receive re-
spectful attention when there is some
thing to be said about the property.
This is the case with the Bingham
New Haven Copper & Gold company.
1t has leaped into the dividend paying
class this past year. and there is every
prospect that it is going to stay there
