The question of social precedence
was not one often mooted In the little

maid who acted as her escort should
follow her at a respectful distance. AS

A Fortunate Wreck.

Traffic on this division west of Ed
gerton was held up for several hours
Monday by an accident that happened
to the 11:05 train about midway be-
tween here and Stoughton. While run
ming at full speed the axle of the drive
wheel on one side of the engine broke.
This dragged along for about 100 yards,
when the shaft broke. This put all the
out of commission. The broken shaft
hit the rear trucks of the smoker
coach, putting the air brakes out OF
commission. The engine, therefore,
was unable to reverse, having no pow
er, nor were the trainmen able to APP
ply the brakes. After going along
helplessly for about half a mile the
train came to stop and the frightened
passengers piled out.
Communication was established with
Stoughton and an engine and two
empty freight cars were sent out to
bring in the passengers. 1t was posi-
BILE to move the engine, but the smok-
er, day coach and parlor car had to be
left there to be cared for by the wreck
ing crew sent out from Milwaukee.
Engineer George Karch of Chicago
and Fireman A. C. Creighton were rum
ming tie engine at the time. They said
they were going along at perhaps sixty
miles an hour when the accident hap
pened. The engine pounded and lurched-
along and seemed every instant to be
lurching from the track into terrific
wreck. The passengers were greatly
shaken up, but no one was more than
slightly injured.
By Z o'clock the track was cleared so
that trains could proceed. Quite Sec
ton of the track was torn up by the
smash-up.

Badger Telephone Co. Sold.

The Badger State Telephone and
Telegraph Co., the successor to the Bad
ger Telephone Co. which was organ
lied about fifteen years ago to connect
up the independent telephone exchanges
with long distance toll lines in southern
Wisconsin, has lately been taken over
by the Rock County Telephone Co. OF
GAINESVILLE. At one time the concern
had over 800 miles Of toll line and con-
nected with nearly every Independent
exchange in the southern part of the
state. Later the property fell into the
hands of the Fish Bros. of Milwaukee
and has been permitted to depreciate
until the bondholders finally took pos
session of it. The stockholders in the
Rock County Telephone Co. have Sc
cured the bonds and majority of the
stock, and the office will hereafter be
located in GAINESVILLE. DR.. w. Judd has
been elected president, H. c. Willis
secretary and Geo. E. King treasurer.
1t is the intention of the new owners to
make the necessary repairs to the lines
and preserve the independent toll line
service. Since this line lost it's prestige
every exchange with the exception of
GAINESVILLE has provided Bell connec-
tons and as matter of self protection
the Rock Co. people were compelled to
take over the Badger property lest it
fall into unfriendly hands and the Rock
County Co. would be without toll con-
nections.

The Return of Winter.
nections.

From the lawn mower back to the
snow shovel again seems quite dis
lance to travel backward, but that's
what we have been doing this week
when winter came and backed our early
spring clear across the board. Nor can
the oldest resident recall such unpre-
cedented weather conditions so late in
the season. A genuine old fashioned
blizzard crept down upon us during
Friday night, bearing temperature
nearly 10 degrees below freezing, rag
ing all through Saturday, during which
time close to a foot of damp snow fell
and piled up in drifts and blanketed
everything in half dozen states.
Owing to the previous conditions,
there was no reason to believe that a
storm of such serious nature was head
ed in this direction, and the weather
bureau was practically unable to pre-
dict it.
The damage was begun last week
when severe cold snap injured the
fruit to a great extent, destroying be-
tween Is and 80 per cent of the apples,
and the storm of Friday night effect
ually completed the destruction.
According to horticulturists there is
little if any of the new plant growth
which escaped. Both the tree and the
shrub fruit suffered, although it is pos
sible that there will be small harvest
of berries, only, however, from the
plants which were not uncovered when
the storm swept the state. Apples,
cherries, plums and pears are ruined.
The leaves which are out are frozen,
but the older trees will be able to put
out new buds. Flowers, such as were
in the open, are frozen beyond hope for
the present season at least.
terminating seeds have been injured
in many cases, but not necessarily
killed. The growth of wheat and other
grains has been retarded and their fu-
ture development will be slow Planted
garden seeds have suffered
The blanket of snow which covered
the southern portion of the state was a
Godsend for it is far better to have it
than cold spell without the deep cover
to protect strawberries and garden
truck. The apple and cherry trees were
all in full bloom and the blossoms have
turned black and are dropping off.
Some have gone so far as to say that
the foliage on the shade trees would
not come forth again, but this, accord
ing to the older people, is untrue. The
general opinion is that the leaves will
start as soon as warm weather arrives
and that in due time the foliage will be
out again.
