BODY OF INFANT IN RIVER.
Discovery Made by Paul Yahn-LOcal
Newspaper Used as Wrapper.

The body of an infant was found
hoating in the Rock river yesterday in
the rear OF the Specht property in
First street. The discovery was made
by Paul Yahn. The body was that of
a male infant. Decomposition had set
in. The remains of the little inno-
cent were removed to the morgue,
where Dr. F. c. Haney made an exami-
nation.
The infant wore baby cap and slip
and shirt. It's clothing was covered
by cloths, and on the outside was a
copy of one of the local newspapers,
dated Oct. Is, 1915, therefore it was
figured that the body could not have
been in the river more than nine days,
as the date on the paper would indi-
cate
The body has the appearance Of be-
ing three or four weeks old, but ow-
ing to its condition from the water, it
cannot positively be stated just how
old it was. An autopsy will be con-
Quoted to determine, if possible,
whether or not the child was alive
when thrown into the river.
A coroner's jury was summoned and
an inquest will be held before Justice
Rohr Friday morning next

FOOT BALL GAMES.
WatertOwn High Easily Defeats the
"COOneys"- Milwaukee NOrmals
and n. w. c. Tie-Other
Foot Ball Notes.

The Watertown High school eleven
had walk-away in a game played
against Oconomowoc Saturday, hand
ing "Cooney" a drubing to the tune of
80 to 0. The Watertown boys put up a
particularly scrappy game, making the
majority of their score, however, in
the first half. The only regretable
feature of the game was a broken col
lar bone suffered by Dudley Cook, who
at this writing is resting as comforta-
bly, as could be expected.
On the same day the Northwestern
college eleven met the Milwaukee Nor
mails and the best anyone could draw
was a score of to O. The Normals
were better drilled team in defense
against the forward pass formations,
blocking Duke and Henning repeated
ly, and added to this the Northwestern
failed to receive end passes. Another
place where the Normals displayed
superior team work was the stiffening
Of their lines when the goal was
threatened. The game was well at
tended and the spectators were well
repaid for attending.
Wisconsin defeated Ohio by a score
of 21 to 0 at Madison
Cornell college forfeited to Marquet-
te l to 0. Captain Porlier led his men
from the field in the third period when
ordered from the lot for slugging. At
that time, Marquette won in the lead
by a score of 7 to 6.

MILWAUKEE ROAD OFFICERS ARE
TRACING DOWN THE GULL
TY PARTIES.
Depot Near Portage Raided- Observe
Car Near De FOrest-T Thieves
Get Away.

Milwaukee road detectives are en-
deavoring to break up a gang of petty
thieves who are operating in the vicin-
ity OF Portage and are working down
several clews that may lead to arrest.
The depots at Poynette, Arlington,
MorrisOnVille and De Forest were rob-
bed few nights since. At De Forest
evidence has been secured that the
party of thieves travel in an auto and
citizens residing in the vicinity of the
depot at that place heard an auto
about / :00 o'clock on the morning of
the robbery and clews may be worked
out from this that may land the
thieves behind the bars.
The plunder mostly sought by the
raiders at the different depots was
money, but other articles have been
taken.
Although the entire plunder secured
in all the raids was insignificant, the
Milwaukee road officers intend to trace
down the guilty parties.
1t is understood that at De Forest
citizen, who suspected something,
was about to raise an alarm but the
stay of the auto was of such short
duration that he had little time to plan
his course and the thieves made their
getaway.

WATERFOWL BUSINESS
HOUSES BURGL LAR|zED
PR0PRIET0RS OF FAIR STORE
AND DRY CLEANING WORKS
THE VICTIMS.
Get Considerable Plunder at GruetZ-
Eacher SfOre-Much Cloth
ing Taken.

Tuesday night, two business houses
by local talent, the Fair store, w F.
Gruetzmacher proprietor, and the
City Dry Cleaning Works of BudewitZ
Brothers, both places on Main street
nearly opposite. Entrance was gain
ed to the Fair store by prying up an
iron grating, set in cement which gave
access to a window in the basement
which was opened through which the
burglars reached the stairway leading
up into the store. At the head of the
stairs was a door which was locked
with the key in the lock which they
succeeded in unlocking by breaking
pane of glass in the door and reach
ing through the opening, unfastened
the door and entered the store which
was thoroughly ransacked, the loss
cannot be itemiZed, but was no doubt
considerable. While engaged in get
ting into the store one of the burglars
must have hurt one of his hands as
there were several blood stains on the
castings of the door at the head of the
basement stairs. After entering the
store, they did not turn off the light
which was burning and took their ease
smoking and reading the papers on
the proprietOrs desk.
The establishment of the Budewitz
Brothers was entered through bro
ken window in the rear of the store
and quite a large amount of clothing
taken, but the least valuable was sub
sequently recovered, the thieves hav-
ing thrown it away, some found on
the river bank near the old brewery
and some on the premises of August
Henze not far from the looted store
The clothing was quite valuable, in
Guiding a woman's long coat, over
coats, pants, etc. No money was TAX
Ell from either place as far as known
except two cents at the Budewitz
place. The thieves being amateurs
and residents of the city, 1t is quite
probable that in time they will be ap-
pTehend and given steady job for
several years.

the times as to conveniences and ac-
commodations for the travelling public.
