Especial to The Leader The events
of last week were two surprise par
ties, both given to MIR. and Mrs. Fred
Boss preparatory to their departure
for AiIwaukee. whore they will make
their home in the future. Their many
friends indeed regret to see thlm
leave and wish them we'll.
The members Of the Il. N. A. as
sembled at the home on Union street
where card playing helped pass the
evening and genuine old fashioned
time enjoyed.
At "Daly's" his friends gave Fred
Boss "smoker" which will long
be remembered by those present as
one of the times you read about and
which few mortals know what it means
unless you have been there. The fore
part of the evening was spent in play
ing cards and enjoying refreshments
which Jack passed around. Then
followed violin solos by Mr.. Hunger
forC and singing by quartette, not
to forget Paul Knoll with his seec-
tions on the guitar. The next on the
program were few pieces by the
Johnson Greek Symphonic Orchestra
which rendered excellent music on
this occasion. A delightful lunch was
served later, VIII N also was enjoyed
by all. Those present were, FREQ
Boss, II. b. Bennecke, Dr.. Berger,
E. Burleton, w. A. Christians, Carl
Dove, A. E. Greenwood, Fred and
Henry Grell, H. E. Hungerford, Paul
Knoll, Fred Mansfield, F. r. School,
Will Schneider, S. H. Swap and last
but not least Jack DAILY.
A tinge of excitement was felt by
the arrival of Sheriff Knaus of Madi-
son, during the progress of the above.
The sheriff was hunting up Ole Filey
who at one time worked here. AS it
appears Filey stole horse and buggy
some time Tuesday near Sun Prairie
which he drove to Madison and sold
the animal, a Nurse valued at 5000,
for 500. The rig he left at livery
Madison he took the morning train
and arrived here where he spent his
money freely during the day. He
was evidently posted that the sheriff
would be after him as he was not seen
after the last train got in and it Is
believed that he walked to WatertOwn
where he took train for Chicago.
Mrs. Chas. Leutz of Jefferson, was
a visitor with Mrs. VIM. Schoechert
Wednesday.
G. F. Schumacher went to Hubble
ton last week where he inspected the
new bridge built there and completed
recently.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Gehler and chill
dven left Saturday for Columbus,
where they expect to make their fu-
ture home.

spent few days Of last week with
relatives at Oakfeld.

Sunday with his wife and daughter at
the home Of Fred Mansfield.

town, were guests of MIR. and Mrs. j.
C. Grell Saturday.

Henry Wollering of Chicago, ar
rived Saturday evening to be present
at the christening of his granddaugb-
ter, Lucille Grell, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Grell. which took place
at their home Sunday.
There is strong sentiment favor
ing the dredging of johnson Creek to
Rock River SO as 10 give the village
an opportunity for installing perfect
sewage system which Is Impossible
on account of the present condition of
the creek This should also interest
all the property owners east and north
whose land lies adjacent to the creek,
thus draining the land that is now
overtiowed the greater portion of the
year and making the land useful.
The Johnson Creek baseball club
was renrganized recently for the pur-
pose of greatly improving the baseball
park.
