Johnson Greek, June z, l9C9-BaSe Ball,
Sunday June 6.
An earthquake shock was felt here
Wednesday forenoon at S:45 in many
houses in the village. 1t lasted but
few seconds but was distinctly noticeable.
The reservoir is now nearly finished
with the exception If he roof and the
we'll driller is drilling for water. Friday
noon the excavation on the ground of
the future Village Hail was begun and
the work is well under way.
Auto drivers of late are getting very
reckless and damages caused through
them are frequent. One day last week
an auto coming from the East chased a
colt along the road to death. This prob
ably was no fault of the driver as farmer
should keep tab on his horses and not
let them run loose. Sunday morning
however an auto belonging to Chicago
party caused the runaway of team be-
longing to John Seitz containing Sun
day worshippers on their way home from
church. The occupants jumped out of
the rig which latter was entirely demol
ished. The driver went on as if nothing
had happened but the Village President
telephoned to Lake Mills where they
were apprehended.
