In order to get the op,nion OF an

of the Chicago Tribune, former quar-
terback of the University of Chicago
team, with the result that Mr.. Ecker
sail says the play was scored prop
erly.
That the ball was not dead as was
claimed by local football enthusiasts
and Others when it struck the goal
post and was secured by "A Newton
player is evidenced by the opinion as
expressed by Mr.. Eckersall His let
ter to Mr.. Matthews follows:
The play as you stated should be

safety. There is no other way to rule
the play. 1t was scored properly.

Home Endorsement for Whittet.

ment whenever he has been candidate
for office "a measure of popularity
which is alike gratifying to his friends

man from this district four years ago
was such that no one feels that their
confidence in him had been misplaced,
for no young member of that body was
ever given more responsible committee
assignments or took more active lead
in important legislation than he in the
session of 1911. He is again candi-

. School Opens Sept. 7th.

The school board has decided to open
all departments of the public schools
on Monday, Sept. 7th. The pupils who
are this year to enter the seventh and
eighth grades will report in the rooms
used for those grades last year. The
condition of the addition which is being
rushed to completion necessitates that
those grades be conducted in the old
building for four or five weeks. High
school pupils will report at the high
school building.
The superintendent will be at the
high school building each day until the
opening of school to consult with pupils
or parents concerning any matters of
school interests. 1t is very advisable
that each pupil be very definitely GER
tain of the course of studies which he
wishes to pursue and that the superin-
tendent be informed before the open
ing of school.

Obituary.
D. O. LOCKWOOD.

I D. o. Lockwood, an aged resident Of
Blaine street, quietly passed away after
much suffering on Monday evening,
August "a.
Delano O. Lockwood was born at At
tica, N. Y, July %, 1880. On his 10th
birthday he was united in marriage to
Marie E. Andrews, native of his
home town They removed to Wiscon-
sin in 1855 and settled first on a farm
near Brooklyn, Wis, where they re-
sided for many years. Mrs. Lockwood
died in 1879 leaving three children. A
year later he married Anna M. Law
son. After living in Brooklyn village
and later at Evansville, the family re-
moved to Edgerton in 1907. The widow
and two daughters, Edith and Leila,
survive

Eric r. Miller, weather forecaster,
and James Johnson Of the Y. w. ex-

issued will be telephoned to the Edger-

inmate on September 80 unless its con-
tinuance is requested.
Milwaukee road engineers were
here Thursday last laying out new
1000 foot side track just west OF the
west street crossing. The company
has felt the need of more siding in Ed
gerton for some months, for something
like 100 cars are in use on the sidings
here most of the time, making it diff
cult for trains to pass at this point.
With the new siding accommodating
the longest freight trains, much of this
trouble will be avoided.
In the matter of the appeal of the
Edgerton Electric Light Co. from its
assessment of 1914 of $25. 900 by the
assessors of Edgerton and Fulton, the
state tax commission has handed down
a decision reducing the assessment to
$4,000. Mr.. P. H. Horst, secretary
of the company, produced evidence be-
fore the commission that by reason OF
an accident occurring in August, 1913,
it's net income would be reduced in the
neighborhood of $1,000 each year for
the next three years. The commission
therefore directs the clerks of the town
of Fulton and city of Edgerton to pro-
portion the assessed valuation of the
property and franchises of the Electric
Co. as follows: Town of Fulton, $500;
city of Edgerton, SIG, 40, or total of
1000, and reduction of $4,000 from
the local assessment.

Burned by Gasoline Explosion.

Mort Simerson, local agent for the
Standard Oil Co., and son Perry were
quite badly burned in gasoline explo-
sion Sunday evening. The accident
took place at the Simerson home just
over the county line north of town. A
customer had come to the house about
9 O'Clock for 10 gallon can of gaso-
line and the boy was holding lantern
while Simerson was filling the can from
a barrel when the fumes caught from
the light, causing an explosion that
threw the burning liquid over both of
them. Simerson's hands and face were
badly scorched as we'll as the bare feet
of the lad. A fire alarm was telephon-
ed into town and a hose cart was sent
out with several fremen but no supply
of water was at hand and the danger
from a spread of the flames was over.
The injured man and his son were
brought to town and DR.. Shearer ad-
ministered to their sufferings. While
their burns are quite serious, both are
now on the road to recovery. though
the burns of Perry are likely to cause
the most trouble. The fire also COM
municated to the woodpile next to the
house but was extinguished without
engangering other property.
