BARABOO WATER
POWER IS SOLD
Sheriff Stackhouse Knocks 1t Down
For $4,000
(From Fridays Daily.)

The middle water power of Baraboo,
comprising the dam under the high
bridge, the race north of the river,
building site formerly occupied by the
old Hoyt mill, the house near the riv
er west of the bridge and claim for
property on the south bank of the
stream, was sold this morning on fore
closure sale by Sheriff Stackhouse.
Only one bid was made, that of Sc, ,OCO
by Grotophorst, Evans & Thomas, in
behalf of the First National bank of
Baraboo. There have been several
claims and ownerships, some of them
said to be conflicting, and this simpli-
fies the title and makes the property
available.
This has been for years known as
the middle water power, and by Mr..
Canfield's history was first improved
in the year 1874, by George w. Brown,
who built the dam and opened saw
mill in December of that year. The
next year Mr.. Brown tore down the
mill and built greater. In eXcavating
for the pit skeleton of a mammoth
was uncovered. In 1916 grist mill
was built on the south side of the
stream. While erecting an addition
to his saw mill, the enterprising pion-
eer was struck on the head by fall
ing timber and died in few minutes.
The property passed through several
hands, before coming to the ownership
that was today closed out.

BARABOO.
Lyons Village Site.

When the pioneers came to Baraboo,
there was an Indian village along the
river in what is now part of the vii
lage of Lyons. A portion of the Bara-
boo river there is known as the upper
OK bow and being full of rapids was
easily forded. Where David Sansum
now resides, the land is somewhat
higherthan the surrounding region and
was not disturbed until 1880. On this
land Mr.. Sansun found three piles of
flint chips on top of the ground, and
here no doubt once lived some Indian
arrow makers. Each pile contained
almost bushel Of chips, near each
was a fire place and stone knives, axes,
celts and arrow points were found there
about.
Not many years ago a skeleton was
found in the river bank south of the
residence now occupied by j. I'll.
Hill.

OF the Cloth of Gold, which has de-
lighted SO many thousands of people,
will be put aside-it has run its course
of two years. Many will be disap-
pointed at the announcement, but let
them be assured that the substitute
will be in every way as pleasing and
as history lesson may excel all previ-
Gus attempts. Certainly, it will be a
further development of the artistic
scheme that has seemed to inspire
these splendid features Of their show.
In the place of the Field of the Cloth
of Gold will be presented grand spec
tacle typifying the entrance of Zenobia
into Palmyra. This gives new peri
od of the worlds history chance to
appear on the stage of the Ringlings'
and the most luxurious time in mans
existence fitting representation. Ze-
nobia, the Syrian queen, descendant
of the almost unrivalled Cleopatra,
combining the splendor of the East
with the magnifcence of Egypt in the
court over which she presided, will be
given fitting commemoration. When
one contemplates the magnificence of
Palmyra, that city of the desert found
ed by Solomon, built of white marble
even to the massive walls that sur
rounded it, rivaling Babylon and Nine
veh and ecllpsing Antioch and Thebes
in the grandeur of its building and the
gorgeousness of its life, he may see
that the subject is suitable for picture
such as these creative showmen can
produce. The time is the middle of
the third century, during the harmoni-
Gus dual reign of Odenathus and his
heroine wife, Zenobia.
More than 700 persons will appear
in the pageant, and the costumes will
be the most elaborate and gorgeous
thct have ever been attempted on an
American stage With appropriate
setting, and the Ringing Brothers do
all things they undertake well and
the scene will be one of un-
rivalled grandeur.

This picture of the river portion of
BarabOo was taken by Matthew
Mould, father of M. HI. Mould, more
than 40 years ago. The large building
on the left of the foreground was the
Old-time Touring mill, then operated
by p. A. Bassett. AT the right bank
of the stream, near the dam, is shown
the old Stark foundry, which still
stands; although in a somewhat dilap-
idated condition. At the time the
picture was taken it was in operation.
Further down stream, on the right
hand bank, is the old heading factory,
operated by P. A. Bassett, owner of the
flour mill. In this worked Thomas
w. English and M. III. Mould, presi-
dent and cashier of the First National
bank, and E. M. Hoag of the Stanley
company. "Tom" English worked a
buzz saw that had to do with shaping
the heading; eddie" Hoag carried

there w as a lot of fun mixed in with
the work and responsibilities were few
and not weighty. He says that Bara-
boo covered about the same ground as
today, only there were more vacant
lots within it's borders. The family of
English lived in the house now occu-
pied by Charles L. Brewster, Oak and
Ninth streets, and there we re many
skating parks in town where now stand
fine residences.
Back of the heading factory, the long
building was used for a saw mill oper-
ated by P. Pratt, one of the most enter
prising citizens of the early days in
.Baraboo. Logs were brought down
the river, tioated down the race to the
mill and there taken out for saving.
This race is now filled. Those are said
to have been lively times in the city.

The Gas Company Is a Little Tardy

1t appears from the books of the city
clerk that the local gas and electric
company did not pay the balance of
its taxes last year until October 10. The
city held up bills for street and city
lighting after the taxes became pay
able, and in the fall the company came
in and paid the balance. The same
course will probably be pursued by the
city this year-in fact, the February
bill for lighting has not been paid.

Rem lngton Group.


Rem ington Group.
The mound builders must have con
sidered the vicinity of the old REM
ington homestead on Second street, an
ideal place in which to embody their
strange ideas into mounds of earth.
In an almost unbro ken chain the
heaps of mould and clay extended
from Fifth street to the property now
owned by Mrs. S. S. Remington of Oily
mpia, Washington. From the old
Remington home, one b ranch extend
ed along both sides of Mound street,
to First and Rosaline streets, and the
other branched to the eastward. All
are now gone except traces at the
southern extremity of the Mound
street lots and in the vicinity of the
Remington residence. Sentiment did
not preserve them but had they been
incorporated in a city park by the
early fathers of Baraboo, the value of
the attraction would be of unmeasured
worth to the ely.
In the Remington group were many
effigies which were MAPPED by w. HI.
Garfield of this city, years ago and by
S. d. Peet of Chicago at later date.
Mounds Opened.
In 1890 former. City Treasurer John
Link employed Edward Dudley to
open one of the round mounds lying
south of Mound street. A few bones
and a pottery vase were found, the lat
ter being broken by blow with the
pick. Prof. w. HI. Schultz, now of
Merrill, Wis, secured the fragment of
the pottery vessel.
Near the Remington residence a
tumulus mound was opened some
years ago and perfect earthen vessel
obtained. 1t is about seven and one
half inches deep and measures about
five inches across the top of the lip.
The vessel is now in possession of Mrs.
John M. Olin of Madison. With the
vase were found a clam shell and
piece of the carapace of turtle. A
pipe, a stone hammer and other objects
were found in the same mound or
near by.
Some years ago a mound was re-
moved from the lot west of TAO Mound
treet, and in the excavating human
bones were found. Mrs. Henrietta
Schwartz has presented some of these
to the Sauk County Historical society.

An Indian cache (pronunced CASH

to carry. On the George Tinkham
farm nearly opposite the John South

q pieces of flint. From the illustration
it will be noted that they are partly
made into arrow or spear heads. For
some reason he never dug them up and
there they remained until unearthed
by Sophia Meyers while planting po-

M. l.. Patterson of Baraboo, the cache
was purchased by E. G. Perkins of
