Mrs, A. 7, Loomls underwent an
operation at the Baraboo hospital for
exophthslmic goitre. Drs. Powers
and Winslow performed the operation.
This is the same disease that mas been
troubling many people in this vicinity
resulting In undergoing operations
elsewhere. The operation for
Mrs. LOOMS was entirely success
full and only one was necessary in this
case. Some of the Baraboo patients
Ia other hospitals have undergone two
operations. The operation is consider
ed difficult and for that reason the
residents in this section may feel that
the surgeons here are entirely prof.
cient in such cases.
Walter q Wight of Enjeavor, for
merly of Baraboo, sends the following
interesting item:
Extensive Improvements are being
made on the Chicago & North western
railroad bridge across the Fox river
at Buffalo, Wis. 4 crew has been at
work for some time and have complet-
ed an enginehouse on top of the draw,
height of about forty feet above the
water. A large gasoline engine is on
the ground and when arrangements
re completed will be used TO move
the draw. This work has heretofore
been done by hand requiring the eff
forts OF at least eight men and it was
slow and hard work at that. Changes
are being made in the substructure
which are necessary to make it posi-
BILE to move il by machinery. The
engiuehouse will also be used for the
leavers which are now on a level with
the main part of she bridge. The
present lever house will be either
moved or torn down as it is located
where the southbound track will be
| laid when the road is double tracked.
The work will be completed before
navigation opens in the spring.
While Will Schaefer was bringing
a bunch of cattle TO town last Mon
day Alfred Rieser, who was helping
him, had thrilling experience,
which might have cost him his life,
Mr.. Rieser was horseback and rode
ahead to turn%the cattle, when big
Guernsey bull attacked his horse
first striking it in the breast, an / then
whirling like fl ash ught the horse
behind its fore legs and threw 1t in the
air. The horse and rider together
weighed 100 pounds, and this weight
coupled with the fact that Mr.. Rieser
Is good rider, probably prevented a
fatality, for If the young man had
been unhorsed the enraged animal
would in all probability have killed
him. That the bull was dehorned
proved very fortunate in this CASE
