But for what might possibly have
been a single, but owing to a lost
ball developed into a home run when
Jumbo Keel swatted the ball, the
game between the Indians and the
Sauerkraut team might have been
tied in the ninth, as it was the In
dians won to 6. Zarwell was on
the mound for the Sauerkraut team
while Schlueter did the twirling for
the Indians. 1t was a hard fought
battle on Perry's Point and the pale
faces claim they had a shade the bet
ter of the play but the savages had
a shade the better of the Indicator
A crowd Of 800 fans rooted for the
opposing sides and the whole coun-
tryside was present to watch the
struggle. Russell, who was on the re-
ceiving end for the Sauerkrauts, did
remarkably well, as did also Beer
baum in a like position. 1t was a

good support, as the close score in

not unexpected as his condition had
been critical the past few days.
Mr. Tanck first saw the light of
day in Cismar, Holstein Germany, on
April %, 1892, and was educated in
the public schools of his native place.
His early life was spent as a clerk
in the custom house in Holstein,
where he remained until he reached
his majority. In 1852 he emigrated
to the United States, landing in New
York, where he acquired the cigar
makers trade. He came to Water
town at the close of his apprentice
ship in 1854 and was engaged at his
for three years when he engaged in
business for himself in the grocery
line which he continued for two years.
In 1868 he entered into partnership
with Mr.. F. Miller for the manufac-
ture Of cigars, the firm name being
Miller & Tanck, and in 1865 went in
to the cigar making business on his
own account, and in 1867 formed a
partnership with Ernest GrOssmann
for the manufacture Of cigars under
the firm name of Grossmann & Tanck
which partnership is well remember
ed by the older citizens Of Water
town.
Mr.. Tanck later engaged in the
real estate business and to which he
added probate business which he
continued until his death. He was
an early day notary public and
probably one of the most widely
known men in these callings in the
state and to him was entrusted many
responsibilities connected with the
settlement of estates, and that he
ever proved faithful to the trust re-
posed in him is a heritage that he
leaves his children, an honest, con-
scientious man in whom the public
had the most implicit confidence. His
business pursuits brought him in con-
tact with many people and his name
was a household word in thousands
of homes in Dodge and Jefferson
counties.
His fellow citizens, appreciating
his worth and ability, had frequently
called upon him to serve in positions
of public trust. He was elected city
marshal in 1858 and served in that
capacity two years. He served one
term, beginning in 1860, as deputy
sheriff OF Jefferson county. He
served two terms as city assessor
and two years as justice Of the
peace, and two terms as alderman of
the Fifth ward, 1866-67. In 1873 he
was elected city treasurer to fill a
vacancy and was reelected in 1875
and rs. He also served one term as
treasurer of Jefferson county, being
elected in 1887. He served also as
inspector of Illuminating oils. For
long period he had been promi-
nently identified with the political
interests of Jefferson county. Every
trust reposed in him was faithfully
fulfilled, and his fidelity to duty in
public office has won him high com
mendation He was man in whom
the utmost confidence was reposed
A democrat in politics, he was Of the
loyal kind and always found battling

Fire at Commercial,

At an early hour this morning, fire
threatened to do considerable damage to
the New Commercial Hotel, but luckily
was confined to the kitchen, in which
the floor was quite badly burned and
considerable damage done by smoke and
water. During the evening, up to about
ten o'clock, employees had been ironing
and the fire evidently started from the
over heated range, which had been in
use. The fire was discovered about one
o'clock and an alarm turned in to which
the fire laddies responded promptly.

CALLING THE cows.

Two Wisconsin boys are credited
with putting the phonograph to new
use. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The instrument the boys utilize has
been so manipulated and strengthened
that it will call the cows home at
night. Attached to the pasture fence.
It remarks at regular Intervals,
"Come, Bos!" and the bovine grazers,
even at the uttermost limits of the
field, are said to heed the mechanical
order and methodically obey it. In
the meantime the clever boys are re-
lieved of a long walk and much stub
born driving. Naturally, 1t will at
once be assumed that this useful in
Btrument can be utilized in other prac-
tical ways. 1t might even prove a
boon for that unhappy Arkansas farm
er who, having lost his voice. called
his hogs by beating on a tree trunk
with a stick-and was dreadfully an
noyed by the initiative woodpeckers.
OF course, we can't help regarding the
new caller as an arrant enemy to ro-
nance and sentiment. Calling home
the cows, "out of the clover and blue
eyed grass" has seemed one of the
most agreeable and poetical of bu-
collie chores, and the spectacle of the
typical hired man, sitting on the fence
beside a phonograhpic announcer, and
letting the patient instrument do all
the work, is sad and even deplorable
one.
