Sank County Place Names

that he named the town Flora for an
old sweetheart of his John Crawford
did not like the name and got up q
petition to have it changed. At the
meeting the name of Fairfield was
decided upon but who suggested it is
not known. The name probably
comes from Fairfield in Massachusetts
Aaron Teel says that T. M. Adams
came from New Hampshire and Mrs.
M. L. Atkinson says that John Craw-
ford came from Fairfield, Ohio. He
resided on the Stephen Burton place
or the old Pabodie farm.
Franklin-Miss Edith Luther of
Plain writes that no one seems to
know who gave the name Franklin to
the town or why. OF course it was in
honor of Benjamin Franklin and more
than likely from some town or county
in another state from which an early
settler migrated.
Freedom-D. b. Hulburt, who re-
sided at LOganville until he moved to
Madison, says that it has been claimed
that the people of Freedom became
much dissatisfied with the way they
were considered by the more populous
parts of the town or towns in which
they were politically located and
worked hard to be set off by them
selves. When the new town was
formed it therefore was called Free
dom.
Greenield-E. d. jackson in an
article in the Baraboo News of July 5,
1905, says the town was named by
Nathan Dennison, an early settler,
after Greenfield, Mass, his former
home.
Honey Creek-N AIMED after the prin-
cipal stream flowing through it. The
town of Honey Creek in 1849 was
about five times larger than the pres
ent town.

facts concerning the origin of the above

The Towns.

Baraboo-One of the original towns
of the county and one of the present
towns in different locality from tie
first. See map. AS to the origin OF
the name see former issue.
Bear Creek-See previous issue.
Brooklyn-One of the original
towns in the northeast section of the
county. r. g. Cowles said that r. G..
Camp gave the name of Brooklyn to
the town. Mr.. Camp came from
Litchtield, Conn.,, and the name was
given for Brooklyn, N. Y. The name
was brought from Breuckelen, Hol-
land, TO Long Island.
Dellona-See a previous issue of
this paper.
Delton-See previous issue of this
paper.
Eagle-One of the original towns of
the county but no longer appearing on
the map. 1t either took its name
from the presence of the bird, the
national emblem or from another
place so named. When Wisconsin
was a territory there was a town in
Milwaukee county named Eagle and
there are still many postoffices or
geographical divisions bearing the
name.
Excelsior-WilIiam Toole states
that the town Of Excelsior was ma med
from the word Excelsior" which APP
DE ars in the seal of the state of New
York. Colonel S. V. r. Athena an
came from New York state and was
the most loyal to the Empire common
wealth. He purchased property in
the town of Excelsior and when
name was sought for the town he
selected Excelsior.
Fairfield-Joseph Teel said that
Fairfield was first called Flora by
Timothy M. Adams who was an early
settler on Leech creek. 1t was sad

O6o0 Arm1
Officers.

In the near future two army officers
from Washington will be sent to
travel about two weeks with Ringing
Bros circus. They will study the
methods by which a circus moves SO
smoothly and rapidly. 1t has been
estimated that taking into considera-
ton the total number of people wi h
the circus, nearly 1900, and the fact
that it carries about LOCO animals and
$50 horses, besides all the necessities
of a moving village, the machinery OF
the thing must be worth observation.
No army detachment in action has
ever pitched camp and moved each
day with such rapidity.

CIRCUS MAN ILL

John Carroll of Baraboo, equestrian
with the Sells-Floto shows now on the
Pacific Coast has returned to his home
completely disabled with tuberculosis
He is accompanied by a representative
of the show, A. B. Brown, who has
been trying unsuccessfully to locate him
in some sanatorium.
Mr.. Brown has phoned to every
tuberculosis senatorium in the state
but his inquiry only showed long
waiting list in each instance. Wales,
Blue Mounds, and Greenfield all had
over fifty applicants on the list. There
are no other county institutions COM
pleted ex ,ept in Superior and the in
stitution there is filled.
The things which Mr.. Brown said
about the state of affairs in Wisconsin
were more just than complimentary.
"It seems, he demonstrated "that a
man has to be pauper or M lion
aire to DE cared fer in this state. A
paHper with tuberculosis can go TO the
poor farm if be had no compunctlon
about injecting the other inmates, a
millionaire can go to aprivate sana-
forum at thirty-fye dollars a week,
but the only place that man of mod
crate mea Is can go is the grave"
The state has passed law giving
three dollars week state aid to the case
of each patient in county sanatorium
but only two institutions had been
finished. These are in Douglas and
Milwaukee counties. Six other
counties have made appropriations.

WILL PUNISH LOOTERs
Degenerates Who Break into
Summer Homes to be Civ
en- Severe Lesson-Latest
Offense is Shameful.

Before very long griefwill come
to the party or parties who have
at different times broken into and
DESTROYED property, generally
summer homes, in this beautiful
lake region. The latest offense
to come TO light is that commit
ed at the cottages along the
shores of Carpenter lake. The
lntruders there were not satisfied
with merely forcing an entrance
into other peoples property but
wiltully DESTROYED the furnishings
and a large amount of canned
food stuffs.
Such work as that is the action
OF degenerates-beings who are
SO low in the human plan as to
have no conception of the rights
OF other people and who are so
ignorant that they do not know
the enormity of the crime or the
severity of the punishment if once
caught. Nothing is being spared
by the citizens of this community
at this time to apprehend these
criminals and the first one caught
will suffer the penalty invoked
by long vigilance of law-abiding
people. The first arrest will be
the recipient of a punishment
that will intimidate all others.
Depredations of this character
have been a severe menace to
property owners along the lakes
for the last two years. Results
of this have been detrimental to
the whole region as summer peo-
pie do not care to build where
there is danger of their homes
being rifled during their absence.
But all summer resort regions
have had this problem to contend
with and it lasts only so long as
the marauders are unmolested.
With the conviction of a few of
them it will cease and to that
end all interested in the welfare
of this country are working.
