Milton Junction

Mrs Hattie Stewart and children, Or
rie Brace and family of Edgerton and
Mr. and Mrs Eugene Call OF Chicago
spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs r Call
The gathering represented four genera
tons in the family and while there pho
tographs were secured of the crowd
Considerable excitement has been
manifest here during the week over the
ing suit against the town officers to stop
the building of cement sidewalks and
the use of street lighting in the village.
The action is the outgrowth of the
trouble last year over the putting in of
the public watering trough voted at the
annual town meeting and which was
later declared illegal. The stand taken
by Mr. MCGOWAN is that if the board is
not authorized to put in a watering
trough they are not authorized to build
sidewalks or light the streets. On the
other hand the members of the board
declare that the building of sidewalks
and lighting of the streets is allowable
under the head of highway improve
ments.
A movement is now on foot among
some of the summer resorters to induce
the Milwaukee road to put in flag sta
ton at the river bridge west of the vii
lage where those who wish could leave
the train and travel by boat to any de-
sired point on the lake. The idea is
GOD one and if sufficient interest is TAX
en- by the regorters here and those at
Edgerton and GAINESVILLE the road might
be Induced to put In the station. The
amount of lake travel is increasing each
year and should this idea be put through
would result in a still greater increase
and would undoubtedly prove profit
able thing for the road. With the pres
ent train schedule travellers could get to
and from the river at almost any time of
the day, going early and returning late.
1t is to be hoped that a strong effort will
be made to secure this concession.

Stephen Ward, one of the oldest resi-
dents of Oakland died Sunday July Fl,
aged II years. He came with his par
ents to Jefferson county IN 1914, settling
first in the town of Jefferson. He is sur
vived by an only son, G. Eugene Ware,
and three grandchildren
Miss Lenora Henderson, in company
with four lady friends from Madison, de-
parted on Tuesday for Chicago. From
there they will 60 to the jamestown ex-
position, and after seeing the interesting
sights there will visit New York and
other points in the east before they re-
turn. They will be absent about a
month.
Prof Rasmus B Anderson made his
annual visit to this place last Saturday
and Sunday. He was met at London
Saturday morning by T G Thompson,
who with his automobile took him to
Lake Ripley and together they spent the
day fishing. Mr. Anderson remained to
spend Sunday with his brother, DR. A e
Amundson. Mrs Anderson arrived Sat
urday evening and also spent Sunday
here.
Win Michaels, farmer of the town of
Oakland, met with a serious injury at
his home on Monday. He had loaded a
load of hogs and was ready to haul them
to London When elm bling onto the
wagon the horses started to run and in
r1aking short turn tipped the wagon
over with it's load and Mr. Michaels was
caught under the rack. He suffered a
dislocated hip and ankle and two broken
ribs besides sustaining internal injuries.
The injuries were very painful and of a
serious nature and it will probably be
some time before he is able to again at
tend to his farm work. The accident oc-
curing at this time, just at the begin
ming of the harvest season, makes it all
the more unfortunate. Coupled with
this his son was injured about ten days
ago by being run over by buggy while
riding bicycle and had his collar bone
broken and is also unable to work.

A Famous Newspaper Man.

William e. Curtis, the famous cores
pendent of The Chicago Recoad- Herald
writes two column letter for his paper
every day in the year without intermis-
sion. His powers of sustained work are
as great marvel as his faculty of always
making his matter interesting.
Probably no other newspaper cores
pendent in the country is read SO regu
larly and eagerly by so many thousands
of men and women as Mr.. Curtis. Mr..
Curtis has travelled several times around
the world, visiting every country under
the sun, and writing larger number of
brilliant and interesting letters of travel
than were ever before produced by
single hand. Many of these nave later
been reprinted in book form. One OF
his latest expeditions for The Record
Herald was through Mexico, resulting ia
series of letters as entertaining as those
he wrote few years ago from India,
Turkey and the Holy Land. His forth
coming letters from Ireland, Russia and
Germany will rival in Importance and
interest any of his previous contribu
tons.
Beginning his career in Chicago as a
reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis rapidly rose
to be managing editor He resigned that
position to accept government appoint
ment as secretary of the South Ameri-
can commission. So brilliantly did he
perform the duties of this Office that
James G. Blaine, Secretary of State,
placed him at the head of the Bureau
of American Republics. At the worlds
fair in Chicago be distinguished himself
as the executive head of the Latin
American department. He is a member
of almost every learned society in Wash
ington and of many in Europe. 1t is not
strange that The Record Herald prints
Mr.. Curtis letter every day in the first
column of the front page, and that
nothing but California earthquake can
displace it from that station of honor.

GAINESVILLE

After thirty nine years of faithful SER
vice in the GAINESVILLE postofice, Miss
Louise M Peterson has voluntarily re-
signed and Postmaster Valentine has
filed the vacancy of assistant postmRs-
ter by appointing John G Hemming.
Paul Iverson, aged ", formerly fore
man of the North Western yards, and a
resident OF GAINESVILLE for 80 years, died
Friday morning as result of injuries re-
ceived by fall from tree, fifteen feet
from the ground Mr. Iverson was re-
Gently pensioned by the road. He was
at work trimming up q tree on the
grounds of his home when the accident
happened He had two ribs broken and
had several internal injuries.
John Seavers, who lives two and half
miles south of Clinton, was very serious
ly and painfully injured on Thursday
forenoon. Mr. Seaver was in the barn
standing on the floor sighting upwards
at an iron pulley on the hay fork track,
when in some unaccountable manner
the pulley broke loose and fell, striking
him in the forehead just above the left
eye. AS he was looking upwards he re-
ceived the full force of the pulley which
fractured his skull and knocking a big
hole in the outer layer. The attending
physician thinks that if nothing further
develops, Mr. Seaver will pull through,
although it was a close call.
Attorney Thomas S Nolan has been
retained to defend Miss Florence Dugan
in her forthcoming trial on the charge of
assault with intent to kill Geo Schu-
macker. The prisoner appeared in
court Monday morning and on advice of
Attorneys Ell L Maxfeld and Nolan
waived examination. Whereupon her
trial was set for Tuesday morning, Aug
81. Judge Fifeld at first fixed her bail
bonds at $4,000, but attorney Nolan ar
gued that the sum was absolutely pro-
hibitive, whereas there might be some
possibility that $500 might be raised.
The court finally decided to reduce the
bail to $500 and an effort will be made
by Miss Dugan's friends to secure the
necessary signers.
