The First Lamp Lighter

In time Baraboo became large
enough for street lights and the first
installed were kerosene lamps set on
posts. These were large, four-sided
affairs and plunged the town of that
day into the forefront of illumination.
Clarence BOughton, the night watch,
was the first lamp lighter.
Later came Jones & Company with
a gas plant and the old oil lamps we're
relegated to the scrap heap. After
gas had been used for some time, M
A. Warren installed an electric light
plant which forever put to sleep the
gas jets in a large portion Of the city.
The older citizens will recall the owner
ship of the gas plant by W. FL. Hop
kins and the many fluctuations
through which 1t passed.
In time the Welsbach company in
stalled gasoline lights in the suburbs
and these, too, have winked out. The
present boulevard system is the result
of rebuilding the plant owned by the
Bsraboo Gas & Electric company, the
plant being originally built about fif.
teen years ago.

The Old Covered Bridge

City CLERK J. s. Workman was
shipper of potatoes and other prod
ucts after the advent of the rail-
road and recalls when it was nee
essary for him to go home some dark
nights and reach the station early in
the morning. At that time there was
a covered bridge over the Baraboo
river at the foot of Ash and Walnut
streets, the structure being the same
as the ones over the Baraboo river
and Narrows creek near Ableman.
Sometimes Mr.. Workman carried as
much as 5000 for the company and
when the bridge was reached, dark as
a tunnel, he cooked his revolver and
hurried through, ready to meet any
foe that might be lying in wait fol
him. He says it would have been an
easy matter for a robber to have
dropped from the timbers above onto
him and disappeared with the com
pany's cash.
