Fined for Speeding.

The first arrest in Watertown under
the new state law regulating automo-
biles and like vehicles was made Satur-
day, the complaining witness being
Officer Bruegger, who alleged that
Herbert Weis on Thursday exceeded
the speed limit in Third street. Mr..
Weis was present in court and
plead guilty to the charge and was
fined the minimum penalty $40 for
the first offense, which was paid. The
fine increases for each subsequent
conviction. This will probably not be
the only arrest in Watertown before
the winter season as several fast
ones are being watched by the police
who have orders to grab all offenders.
1t seems strange that some people
hold there is no necessity for passing
a law regulating automobile traffic.
The burglar who enters your house
does not believe in punishment for
that offense either, but the state and
society thinks otherwise and rightly
so. They will all, however, be given
a chance to air their views at the
meeting of the judiciary committee OF
the city council next Monday evening.

Making Improvements.

The interior of the Merchants
National Bank has been undergoing
some remodeling of late and when
completed this financial institution
will have added some features which
will appeal directly to the patrons of
the bank The vault has been en-
Iarged considerably and the time lock
safe, which formerly stood in the
counting room Of the bank, now finds
Judgement in the vault proper.
The vault is connected with the
counting room by a new steel double
combination door, weighing four
tons which is now being put in place.
In the vault Will also be arranged the
safety deposit boxes with additional
room for their occupancy. In the
rear Of the vault and connecting with
the street entrances will be arranged
a room for the use of bank patrons
where one may take the safety de
posit box and go over the papers at
their leisure. The room will be ar
ranged with this object in view which
no doubt will be greatly appreciated
by the bank patrons.
The vault will be protected with
electric burglar signals as formerly.
Many other little conviencies are
being arranged, which will afford ad-
ditiOnal room for the bank, it's patrons
and it's officers.

Takes His Own Life.

Emil DEFINE, a prominent business
man of Hustisford and interested in
the electric lig and power plant in
that village, committed suicide dur
ing the noon hour today in the court
house at Junea ii He purchased a re-
volver in the morning and tried it IN
a back yard. Shortly after when
everybody was away from the court
house at dinner, he walked to the
hallway Of the court house leading to
the basement, sat in a chair and fired
a bullet into his temple.
The unfortunate man went to Ju-
neau in an auto this morning. He
spoke about the action of the Juneau
city council refusing a permit to fur
nish electric light to that city, asked
for by the company in which he was
interested. It is possible that may
have preyed on his mind and led to
the rash act, as there is no other
known cause.
He was a son of Fred Define and
was prominent in Hustisford busi-
and leaves a widow and one child. An
An inquest will be held.
Mr.. Define was well known in Wa
tertown where his untimely ending
will be sincerely regretted. He was
in the city on Saturday and stated
that he was in an angry mood but
did not disclose the cause.

NUMBER 4
Injunction is Asked.

Rudolph koenig and Georgs koenig,
owners OF water power right at
Watertown, on the Rock river, filed
in the supreme court Tuesday an
injunction suit, attacking the Hustiug-
krumrey law for state control of
water powers, passed by the last legis-
lature, asking the supreme court to
declare it unconstitutional, aud
granting restraining orders against
enforce it. The suit is directed
against Attorney General l.. H.
Bancroft, Secretary of State James
A. Frear, State Treasurer A. H. Dahl
and the members of the railroad com
mission, j. H. Roemer, Halford
Erickson and David Harlowe Each
of these officials is in a measure
responsible for the enforcement OF
the law.
The suit is based on the terms of
the ordinance of 174S, by which the
state Of Virginia ceded the North
west territory to the United States,
on condition that it be divided into
So'SiSiSoh olttISa hS GuSOiy VI
riparian control of water power is
upheld, it being asserted that the
state of Wisconsin never had any
proprietary interest in any of said
lands"
The plaintiffs acquired the right to
the use of water power through a
grant made by the legislature in
1889, under the provisions of which
dam was erected The power thus
generated is used to operate a flour
mill.
In the chain of title to said lands,
there is, as plaintiffs are informed and
believe, no grant, conveyance or
transfer in any way separating the
title to, or an interest in, the said
water power from the title to, or
ownership of, the property therein
other than water power" says the
complaint.
1t is on this theory-the doctrine
that all riparian rights go with pos
session of the land-that the suit is
based, and the water power interests
will make hard fight to have this
doctrine established as part of the
saw of the state, as against the
theory that the title to all water
power resources vests in the people,
the theory announced in the Husting-
Krumrey bill.

Thieves at Work.

A bold thief or thieves entered the
Schempf Drug Co. store some time Sun
day night or early Monday morning,
getting away with box Of razors val
ued at $40. Entrance was effected by
removing a screen from the transom
over the front door entrance. It is the
belief that the robbers were after a
valuable display of fountain pens which
lady agent had had on exhibition in
the store for several days and which
were taken away last Friday. The cash
register had been tried but was not
opened and evidently the safe had not
been tampered with. The heavy fog of
of early Monday morning made it more
easy for the intruders to operate.

Circuit Court Cases.

In the case Of Thekla Polzin against
the City OF Watertown upon motion
Of City Attorney Charles A. Kading,
the court dismissed the case for
want of jurisdiction; the plaintiff
having failed to appeal from the non
action Of the common council upon
her claim filed. Mrs. Polzin instead
of appealing as above stated brought
an action in the usual way for al
legged damages to her property on
the west side of that part of Monroe
street south of West Milwaukee
street, which street was opened by
the city when the G. B. Lewis com
pany built their new factory upon its
present site. The city built a culvert
across the street and Mrs. Polzin
claims that the end thereof extends
upon her land. She sent communi
cation to the council at first asking
for $3.50 damages, and later filed a
claim through her attorneys, Stern &
Kufalk of Milwaukee, for $500, and
when she started her suit she sued
for $1,000. The dismissal of the case
by Judge Grimm, unless appealed
from, disposes of the case finally, as
the time to appeal from the non-act-
ion upon the claim by the council has
expired.
