Sparks from passing engine set
fire to the grass along the track oppo-
site the Driving Park last week and
the blaze spread until it went through
a good portion of the grove to the
south of the Park Luckily enough it
was discovered in time to prevent the
burning of the grand stand and barns
on the grounds. Alongside c. R. Rob-
inson's the tall weeds took fire and it
was only by persistent fighting that the
flames were extinguished. Near Ma
looney's fire was started and it spread
over quite field space before it could
be controlled.
Another landmark of early days
has been swept away when the old
grist mill at the Oxbow or Stebbins-
vile was RACED by the wind storm that
accompanied the shower Saturday af-
ternoon. The mill and dam on the Cat
fish were built by Harrison Stebbins in
1867, and for long series of years fig
ured in the grinding of grain for the
pioneers in that locality. But of recent
years the mill has been. out of commits
sion and generally going to decay. The
property has been in the family ever
since, belonging at the present time to
Mrs. William Gilley of Stebbinsville,
daughter. The. water power was con-
sidered good one, with fall of four
inches to the mile below Stoughton,
but the reservoir is rather limited,
making the power somewhat unrelia-
BILE.
-Edgerton is putting ball team in
the field again this year that our citi-

second to that of last year which has
been strengthened in some points.
Pitcher Moon of Beloit will occupy the
box and is able to do good execution,
while Hanson, the catcher of year
ago, will continue to hold down his
position. The first game of this strong
aggregation was played at Fort Atkin-
son Sunday with team who think
themselves invincible, which resulted
in a score of / to O in favor of Edger-
ton, and is admitted to be one of
the best games ever played in that
city. The Edgerton team is now in
position to make dates with neighbor-
ing clubs and if convenient grounds
can be secured it is believed the man.
agement will arrange for a series of
Sunday games here throughout the
season.
