March came in like the proverblal
lion with roaring blizzard and drop
| in temperature throughout the north
west that brought the most severe
weather of the winter. The cold wave
was shunted to the eastward after a
couple of days and more moderate
weather has since prevailed.
EARLY risers in this city on the
morning of March % will be rewarded
by sight of the first eclipse of the
moon in the year 1913. The earth S
shadow will first touch the moon at Alb
O'Clock, and from $40 until $40 o'clock

! Boys inspecting their traps in the
woods on the Shoemaker farm near the
Four Mile bridge Tuesday morning
found buried underneath the snow the
frozen corpse of James Doyle, James
vile inmate of the county poor farm,
who wandered away two weeks ago.
1t is believed that Doyle froze to death
as it is not known that he was afflicted
with any disease that would cause him
to die suddenly. He is not known to
have any relatives. Doyle, who was
about sixty years of age, had made his
home at the county farm off and on for
several years.
Henry Thronson of the city of Ed

farm of 80 acres near Albion at $40
per acre. Sale made by c. E. Sweeney
Real Estate Agency. Mr.. Sweeney in
forms us that this is the 10th farm sold
by him in Rock and Dane counties as
we'll as five houses in the city of Ed
gerton in the past six months, and the

amounted to $255, 500. This is consid-
cred very good business for one man
to do alone especially as he has spent
most of his time in buying and putting
up.a packing of tobacco.
The west bound Janesville- Nc
Gregor train crashed into the rear of a
freight while taking siding Mon
day morning at Stoughton, causing
quite shakeup among the passengers,
but fortunately no one was seriously
injured. The two cabooses attached to
the freight were demolished and the
passenger engine put out of commits
sion by the impact. Conductor Jerry
Keyes had orders to go in on passing
track behind the freight but when En-
gineer Mills attempted to slow up the
air breaks refused to work and his
train bumped heavily into the rear of
the train ahead. The passenger was
we'll loaded and several were standing
in the aisles when the crash came and
were thrown about the car rather pro-
| miscuously.
