NEW CAR SHOPS Of
|. R|NGL|NG BROTHERS
BEING HURRIED ON TO COM
PLETION ON SOUTH SIDE
OF RIVER
GETTING READY FOR WINTER
Five Tracks are Being Built, Three
to Pass Through the
Shops
GETTING READY FOR WINTER

The work on the new car shops for
Ringing Brothers is well along to-
wards completion on the south side of
the river west of the Canning factory.
The first section, 64xS4, is nearly up
and the grading for the tracks is be-
ing hurried along by Contractor Isen-
berg and Roadmaster Leo Ryan.
The building now being constructed
is one car in length and it will accom-
modate three cars, for painting and re-
pairs. Two more sections will be
built onto the west by another season.
The purpose now is to get the place
ready for use this winter.
The main lead (track) from the
main line of the Northwestern runs
west down a considerable decline
towards the river. From this, five
tracks run east, three of which pass
through the car shops, the other two
on either side. East of the shops a
"slide" is to be built permitting the
finished cars to be "slld" out of the
way onto the two other tracks which
are to be on either side of the shops, on
which the cars will be taken back (west)
to the main "lead" and onto the main
line of the Northwestern, when they
need them for their journeys.
A large force of men is at work and
no unnecessary delays are permitted.
Contractor George Isenberg has
charge of the carpenter construction
work.

REMOVE BRIDGE
To SAUK CITY
portage Register.)

The iron draw bridge which for many
years spanned the canal at the old line
crossing will find its permanent lodg-
ing place at Sauk City where the
Milwaukee road enters that place.
The bridge was removed from the
canal two years ago at the time the
Milwaukee road had the main line
and the Northern division combined
in running their trains over the
Ketchum Point bridge at Portage
Junction soon after the old line cutoff
was completed. Since that time the
bridge has occupied a position on the
sic etrack at the sand pit near Mulca-
hy's crossing in the East Portage
yards.
A crew of twenty men are at work
loading the bridge under the direction
of Foreman BIeifeinich of Watertown
and the three massive sections are
being placed on four fiat cars and will
be shipped to Sauk City Saturday to
be placed across the Wisconsin river at
that place. This bridge did service
here for about fifteen years and replaced
the sold second whiten wooden struc.
ture at that time.

HE GOT ANOTHER $4,000
Arranged to Buy Farm, Forged
Deed, Took the Mo-
ney
he GOT ANOTHER $4,000

According to report from Winona
Mr.. Saddler has been working in Min
nesota. The method was similar TO
the one used in this city year or so
ago when J. p. Witwen was the vic
tim losing $4,000.
John Hoover, alias Henry Snyder,
was chief operator and the victim who
lost the money was J. Stirneman, a
farmer living not far from Winona, a
man who loans money on farms.
In this case Hoover presented a
forged mortgage, purporting to have
been given by Theodore F. Vail and
wife on good farm for $4,000.
Hoover arranged with the Walls to
buy his farm for $4,000 and got him
and his wife TO sign what purported to
be power of attorney to local real
estate man to sell it at that price. Hoo
yer made out a forged deed for the
Iand, copying the signatures of Hoover
and his wife and of D. w. Hunt, not
ary public who took the acknowledge
ment and worked his game Of selling
the land to ]. Stirneman who paid
him $4,000.
The forgery and the confidence trick
were disclosed when the transfer pa
pers were filed for record but the con-
fidence man had got start of "a hours
and away. The Walls were noticed of
the forgery and made affidavits to the
effect that they had never decided the
farm.

THE LYONS BRIDGE
NEARLY FINISHED
TEN DAYS OR TWO WEEKS WILL
SEE COMPLETION OF CONCRETE
STRUCTURE.
REINFORCED WITH IRON RODS
The Gasoline Engine has Usual Divine
Right of Stopping at
Busy Times.
REINFORCED WITH IRON RODS

In ten days or two weeks it may be
possible to see the new Lyons bridge
in all or part of its concrete whole. 1t
is believed that the work will be well
enough along lX1hat time so that the
supporting iYSMc work may be re-
moved.
After the bridge is finished it will be
necessary to fill up the west end on
the Lyons side with earth, rock, and
other substantial material. This will
be done by the town of Baraboo.
The frame work consists of boards
and timbers built into a structure to
form a mould which will leave the
hardened cement in shape as out
lined on the plans of the draughting
engineer. Through the center of these
forms, to give stability to the whole
and its parts, are placed reinforce
ments, solid iron rods. They are al
close intervals, and, with the cement
when it is hardened, make a bridge
which neither rust will corrupt nol
the weather inc'emencies seriously
molest in any way. Time has not
shown the destructibility of properly
built concrete bridge. 1t is the style
now being built in every up to- date
town, and in all cases it is the pride
of the inhabitants.

The Gasoline Engine.

The gasoline engine at the bridge
now being built to Lyons has seasons
of non-going fits. The wind blows the
cement particles through the air and
they settle onto and eventually into
the engine. That, together with the
divine right of every gasoline engine
to stop and refuse all solicitations OF
the mechanic at time when it is
needed the most, causes frequent in
termissions at the bridge job, which,
on the whole, does not contribute to
diminish the private vocabulary of
the working man.
Superintendent Hoffman has gone
TO another double-a0 bridge job in
Ohio. The season is getting colder
and those jobs must be finished before
winter. Therefore the local job is in
the hands of Engineer French and the
foreman of the bridge company.

Smith. a merchant at Mehama, 10 miles south of this place. in Lawrence county. was burglarized Sat urday night and the cash drawer rined of It's contents-about $6 In money, two gold watches and ring or two. It Is supposed more or less merchandise was also taken. Access to the store was gained by means of a trap door in the floor, which had been left unbolted. Exit was made in same way.
 The theft was not discovered until noon yesterday, whereupon MT. Smith tele- phoned to Lawrenceburg, Tenn, for bloodhounds, which were put upon the trail at 2 oclock this morning.

LAWRENCE SPEAKS.
Declares That Prohibition Law Can
 Be Enforced.


 Decatur, May 24.-(Special. .)-Under the auspices of the Law and Order league of the Decaturs a prohibition rally was held yesterday afternoon at o'clock in the circuit court room of the county courthouse in this city. The meeting was largely attended by peo- pie of all classes, but the attendance was not as large as had been ex- pected.
 The orator of the occasion was the Rev. Brooks Lawrence of Birmingham, superintendent of the Alabama Anti Saloon league, who spoke for more than an hour. He did not touch on local conditions. but confined his re- marks to the prohibition conditions of the state in general. He said that in many sections of the state prohibition was absolutely prohibiting and that in every city of the state drunkenness and crime had been very much reduced under prohibition from what it was un- der open saloons. He was of the opin- ion that prohibition can be enforced equally as well as any other law of the land.
