JUDGE FOWLER
MAKES DECISIONS

Judge G. A. Fowler at Portage has
rendered decisions in two important
Columbia county cases. The first is
the'case of Baird & Singer VS.. D. j.
Christopher in which Judge Fowler
sustains the verdict of the jury in
granting judgment to the amount of
1866 and costs in favor of the plaintiffs,
Baird and Singer, for work and ma
terial furnished on the sewer ditcher
which was in possession of the de-
PENDANT, Christopher, at the time of
the sewer construction work.
Another decision of widespread in
terest is that just rendered by Judge
Fowler ordering judgment in the case
of State VS.. VIM. Fuller. The action
was for the forfeiture of FuIler's $500
license bond besides his regular liquor
license because of the action of Fuller
in the girl minor case and for allowing
the girl to remain on his premises. The
judgment in this case sustains the ver-
dict of the jury in granting judgment
in favor of the Estate against the de-
PENDANT in the sum of $500 and costs.
This becomes an important case as il
establishes the fact that saloon keep
er for certain offences may be fined,
have his liquor license revoked and al
the same time be held for $500 dam
ages and parties signing saloonkeep-
er's bond will hereafter realize they
are running considerable risk, as In
many cases he result may be a $500
forfeiture.-Portage Register.

WISCONSIN RIVER
RISING AGAIN

The Wisconsin river is rising again
on account of the recent heavy rains
and some damage is feared. Several
mills at Wausau and above have been
shut down until the flood time has
passed.
Traffic on the valley division of the
Milwaukee road was interfered with
by the washout of a short stretch of
track about mile and half north of
Granite Heights. Some of the refilling
placed there after the washout of the
previous high water, was washed away
and this caused the track TO settle,
making travel over 1t unsafe. Trains
were held up several hours until
two work trains made repairs.
Gollmar Bros circus had to
cancel their Saturday date at Merrill
because their train couldn't get through
in time from Wausau.
The total loss on account of the flood
last month has been placed at half a
million dollars.

left it for good. The high altitude,
1000 feet, was not agreeable to me
and the surroundings were not con-
genial, associating with ITS patients,
nearly all of whom were worse oh

state of mind.

in three examinations the doctors fail

but that would have to be done at 8

do not operate at the sanitorium'
Other reliable Denver doctors tell me
that an operation is not advisable and

A fish that was caught 1872 feet be-
low the surface of the earth and five
miles from any running stream of
water is a curiosity that r. T. Roy
ston, the plumber at 1905 University
avenue, Madison, and George LETTER, a
we'll driller, secured few days ago on
the farm of Frank Thomas, two miles
south of Sun Prairie.
Mr.. Thomas was having some drill
ing done as part of plan to drain
some swamp land, When the bore
reached depth of 1862 feet, the drill
struck vein of water 20 feet deep, and
evidently a school of fish, for the
buckets brought up lots of them.
Among the fish were found five liz
yards about six inches in length.
Mr.. Royston has one of the fish in
small bottle. It is about one inch in
length and looks like bass. The fish

ARTICLE XIV
Cities, Villages and Settlements Con-
tinued


Rosalieto WD-Once a little hamlet
on the west bank of the Wisconsin
river about midway between Merri-
mack and Prairie du Sac. 1t was
named by Charles Naffz for his wife,
Rosalie Naffz There was once a store
or two there and raftsmen paused in
their downward course To be refreshed.
A few graves and cellar hole or two
mark the spot. Mrs Naffz was born
May q, 1926, and died DecemberI2S,
1911.
Russell's Corners-Formerly post
office in Fairfield named for John
Russell who located there and entered
much land. The postoffice was estah-
Iished in 1866 or 1856 and discontinued
in 1862 or 1868. The stage from Por-
tage to Newport brought the mail
part CT the period and the remainer
of the time was obtained at Baraboo,
the carriers being John and Charles
Coleman. The above informs alton is
given by Charles Coleman. John H.
Bennett wrote before his death that
the father of John and Charles Cole
man was the first postmaster and that
he was succeeded by George Griffith
and Roosevelt Norton.
Spring Green-Village in the town
of Spring Green. There is much uncer-
tainty and there has been much dis
cussion as to the naming of Spring
Green. The Spring Green News of
July 10, 1902, says that according to
the late Samuel Huntley the prairie
was the first in the spring of
the year to show vegetation,
hence the town was known by that
name many years previous to the ex-
istence of the village Some believe
the name came from Garwood Green
the second postmaster but this is not
likely as the town was named Spring
Green some years before the village
where the postoffice was located. }. +.
Morrow writes to The Raraboo News
as follows: Mary Williams named
Spring Green, all old settlers know
this. There was spot on the south

side of the bluffs that always "greened
up sooner in the spring than did the
prairie under which is a stratum of
cold clay that keeps it back. Mrs.
Williams could see this from her house
which stood until some years ago
northeast of the town, and no doubt.
after the long lonesome winters,
viewed this spot in an exaggerated way.
AS Spring Green lies in the bend of
the river the cold ice water keeps the
vegetation back, but when il comes il
comes with rush.
Sank City-A village on the Wis
consin river When Count Augustine
Harasthy and Robert Byrant laid out
Sank City they called it Harssthy.
That was a name hard to remember
and one not likely TO attract settlers,
the thing they most desired. George
Mertens of Baraboo, once residence
there, says the name was changed to
Westfeld but for what reason the
~
forwards came the fashion of adding
the word 'city" 10 the name of grow
ing place as was done by the residents
of Portage City, Kilbourn City and
hundreds of other places. The postal
authorities discontinued the final word
in most cases. To be in fashion the
name Sank City was decided upon by
who suggested the name or when is
not known. The name of the county
was taken as that would be easy to re-
member. Time has proven that the
changing of the name has been OF no
commercial advantage.
Sandusky-Mrs. H. w. Reeve wrote:
Sandusky was named by William
Dano and Joshua Holmes who were
among the very first settlers there and
both came from Sandusky, Ohio. Mr..
Dano was the first postmaster and
lived there many years but spent the
last years of his life in Baraboo. Gsn-
, net says it is derived from the Indian
outsandouke, "there is pure water
here" or from sa-anduste, large pools
of water. Another authority gives the
meaning as cold spring.
TuckervilIe-A. l.. Harris wrote be-
fore his death that Tuckerville was
named for William Tucker.
