HARVESTING THE
BARABO0 RIVER
Island Woolen Mill Com
pany Rushing Work on
the New Dam.
THREE KINDS OF POWER
Concrete Work Being
Laid on Piles, Hardpan
and Boulders.
THREE KINDS OF POWER

! The work of harnessing the Bsrs-
boo river at the Island Woolen mill is
being rushed while the water is low
! and the weather is favorable. Strange
! to say about all the kinds Of power
known at the present time is being
employed in the construction Of the
dam. AT the mill water power gen.
crates electricity and electric motors
pump the water from the cofferdam
and turn one of the cement mixers.
Another mixer is set in motion with
gasoline and the pile driver is operated
by steam. Sometimes all are in
operation at once.
The dam will be of solid concrete,
not of the hollow reinforced kind.
The Kllhourn and Prairie du Sac
dams are of the latter type. The Is
lend Wooden mill dam will be is feet
wide at the base aud from 16I to %
feet from the foundation to the top of
the crest. The foundation is on piles,
hardpan and boulders The weight
of the pile driver is 1,800 pounds and
it is almost impossible at times to
drive the tlmbers and steel down.
The great problem in building a dam
is TO keep the water from getting be-
meath the structure. In this case
every precaulion is made TO get low
enough that there will be no leakage
or danger from the water digging q
tunnel beneath the concrete. Part Of
the piles are of timber and part are of
steel
The cOfferdam is made of brush and
is the same one used when the timber
dam was built Is years ago The Golfer
dam has been submerged all these
years and has not decayed while the
timber dam, which was exposed to-
the air, was badly rotted. In fact it
was so decayed that a portion was
destroyed by the food last spring
which necessitsted the present i'm
provement.
The sand for the work is obtained
on the river bank and without great
effort. The sand and cement are
mixed above the dam and gravity
does the rest.
One of the serious problems is to
get enough help to hurry along the
work. This is busy season of the
year and the scarcity of workmen ia
felt. When completed the dam will
furnish about 800 horse power. w. III.
McFetridge is on the ground to give
dii iections in rebuilding the Oldest
waterpower op the Baraooo river.

Sheriff of Ricnland County
Does Quick Work Picture
Man in Limbo.
Wife ON HIS TRAIL
Couple Arrested as They
Were About to Board
the Train.
(Richland Center Observer J

Delbert A. Todd of Chicago, who
mas been in the county for some
Gime taking orders for pictures, and
Alice Men amar, of this city, were ar
rested one day last week at La Vale
charged with statutory 0ftense and
were brought here and placed in Jail.
The arrest was made as a result of
quick work of Sheriff Fogo, who ap-
pretended the couple at La Vale few
minutes before they were to take a
train out of towD. The warrant was
placed in the sheriff's hands at ten a..
10. and he started for Cazanovia where
the couple had been stopping several
days. They got wind of bis coming
and took the first train out of town.
The sheriff went on to La Vale
where he took the couple in charge
and after a hurried dinner started for
this city and at three o'clock had the
pair in court where they were given a
hearing before Judge McCorkle and
bound over to the fall term of court.
The couple were arrested on war
rant made by Mrs. Todd, who claims
Todd as her lawful husband. She
says the customary remittanceS
were not being received by her and
she started for Cazenovla, from where
she bad received letters, to investigate.
Here she claims she found Todd
with another woman with whom he
had been living several days. She
immediately came to this city where
she put the machinery of law in
motion. At the hearing Todd was
placed under bones of $1,000 and the
McNamar girl $500.

LIGHT QUESTION
PUzzL|NG PROBLEM
To Buy or Not to Buy the
Plant Is Being Discussed
by the Citizens.
VISITS RATE COMMISSION
Council Is Divided May
Not Be Settled For Some
Time-NeW Law.

J. 8. Griggs, formerly one of the
poor commissioners of Saukg county
and trustees of the asylum, was in
Madison this week and visited the
offices of the railroad rate com mission
in order TO obtain information con-
cerning the Baraboo lighting stitua-
tion. TIE one in the office with whom
he talked said BarabO0 made a serious
mistake some years ago in not pur-
chasing the local lighting plant and
that it was not too late now TO acquire
the property. 1t will be recalled that
two votes were taken some years ago,
the first being in favor of purchasing
The property and the second being
against it, There was some delay
after the first election and evidently
the citizens were not satisfied with the
way things were being done and gave
the matter little or no attention at the
second election.
Mr.. Griggs learned that Baraboo
could purchase the plant now if the
citizens desired TO do so. A special
election could be held, the plant sp-
praised and if the price was too high
for the city, all that would be neces-
sary would be for the treasurer to pay
the cost of appraisement out of the
city funds. If the valuation was sat-
isfactory bonds could be issued for the
purchase. Mr.. Griggs says he ob-
tanned the impression in Madison
that this would be the proper thing
to do.
In case ten year contract is made
with the present company 1t will
mean about $4,000 in ten years for
lights. Many of the citizens think it
would be better to purchase the plant
and be done with the vexaGious prob
lem. Others do not think so. In fact
the council is divided on the matter
and the tie vote resulted in the question
being left to the mayor and cityl clerk.
They are now waiting for the legisla-
tures to take some action on law
bearing on the subject of sinstaIling
boulevard lights.
Il is readily seen the problem is
perplexing. What should be done?
The summer is dragging away and
the city is no nearer boulevard lights
than when Christmas trees were in
fashion. Even the attorneys are not
agreed on some points of the law in
voIved and some of the citizens would
not know which way TO leap in case
they should come squareIy up to the
proposition. It looks like someone
was needed to cut the GoIdian knot.

| WHY RATTLESNAKES
ARE So NUMEROUS
Henry Erswell, Exper-
fenced in Wood Lore,
Gives Cogent Reasons
NO BLUFF FIRES NOW
Relates Strange Expert
ences Which Have Come
Under His Observation.

Henry Erswell, long a resident OF
this county and experienced in
wood lore, believes there are more
rattlcsnakss now than IN former
yea 5 and the great number which
have been killed this season would
bear him out in the statement. He says
years ago the bluffs were burned
over and the fire destoyed more or
less of the reptiles. If they were not
killed b7 the flames they might be
burned at some point on the body and
thinking an enemy was threatening g
them would thrust their fangs into
themselves resulting in their death,
He says that more people lramped
over the bluffs years ago for the puT-
pose Of hunting game and berries and
many of the snakes were killed.
During the summer they crawl a
mile or so from their dens and in Sep
tember find their way back again.
Mr.. Erswel has had some unusual
experiences with these snakes. On
one occasion he found a large one
which had swallowed small rabbit
aud thrust its head through s~,fence
to seize a quail. The opening in the
fence " as so small it could not go
aud it could not retreat
without releasing its hold on the
bird This it. would not do and it is
hard to relate what would have hap
pened if Mr.. ErsweIl had not put it
beyond its unusual predicament.
On another occasion be found one
which had attempted to reach birds
est in a small bush and b Al fallen in
tosthe crotch of the plant. 1t could not
lift itself high enough to release its
head and died in that position.
Just how little snakes manage to
find food and what they eat Mr..
Erswell is not able to state. Althoush h
they are Matched from eggs he says
that number Of little ones were
found In a big one number of years
ago.

TEAM AND DRIVER
INTO THE RIVER
Richard Kuoni Has a Mar
row Escape From Drown
ing at Prairie du Sac.

Wednesday afternoon one of the
most unusual accidents that could
happen occurred on the old toll bridge
at Prairie du Sac. AS Richard Kuoni
was driving an ice wagon across the
Wisconsin river to the camp of the
dam builders on the Columbia county
side, one of the spans gave way and
the wagon, team and driver went into
the river. No sooner had the vehicle
touched the water than the front
wheels detached themselves and the
team swan deliberately to safety.
The remainder of the wagan now lies
at the bottom of the river. The escape
of Mr.. Kuoni was almost as great
miracle because, after receiving a few
minor injuries in the fall, he t1oated
about on a piece of 6rift wood until he
was rescued in boat.

After DR.. Kunoi came to the surface
of the water he had the presence of mind
70 keep away from the struggling
horses. He clung to piece of timber
and was rescued down the stream by
john Kleinlein, who lives in house

veteran Of the civil war and was one
of tue c)np sny that captured Jefter
son Davis in the year of 1855
when he attempted to get away after
the close of the conflict. The team
became detached from the wagon and
swan TO shallow water on the west
shore where they were stopped by a
call of the driver. One of the horses
had four ribs broken close to the back
bone. DR.. Kuoni escaped With a
