Christmas i'm Early Wisconsin.

The Christmas festivities of the
present day may be more elaborate
than those of an earlier period in Wis
consin history, but certainly they do
not exceed them in spontaniety and
rollicking fun. How the day was
spent in the gay old fur-trade post at
Green Bay in 1924 is interestingly
told in volume seven of the Wisconsin
Historical Collections:
"a table was spread the length of
the room, and plates laid for hun

SOME FISH STORY.
Seventeen Tons of Carp Shipped Alive
From Beaver Dam to New York.

Work was finished yesterday load
ing seventeen and one-half tons of
carp into two special cars, and the
consignment started on its long jour
ney last evening to New York City
where the fish will be disposed of.
NJ C. c.. Neiman, Water street. this
city, procured the fish in Beaver Dam
lake, and disposed of the whole lot to
New York parties, who had represen-
tatives in tie city experimenting the
loading Of the two cars. A new
wrinkle was used in shipping this lot
of fish, as the two cars were provided
with nine large tanks, filled with wa
ter, into which the fish were placed,
which will take the carp alive into
New York. Each one of the eighteen
tanks was supplied with an attach
ment that forced air through the wa
ter and insured the fish fresh water
on the trip to New York, which will
consume about two days.
By shipping the fish alive much
higher market value is realized when
the carp reach their eastern destina-

Commission Case NOn-Suited.

The case of R. A. Fuller against w.
P. Bingham was nOn-suited before
Judge Kirkland last Wednesday in the
circuit court at Jefferson.
The cause was instituted by Mr.. Full
Ter to collect commission for the sale
Of Mr.. Bingham's property in Wash
ington street to Emil Tanck, Mr.. Full
ler claiming that it was through his
agency that the sale was made, and
that he had been employed by Mrs.
Bingham, which allegation was denied.
The case came to an abrupt ending
after the court had heard two wit
nesses, Kading & Kading withdrawing
the plaintiffs action.
This leaves the matter where it orig
inally stood after leaving the justice
court, and another action can be insti-
tuted by Mr.. Fuller should he desire
to SO do.

ONE "DEFECTIVE" is
NOT PERMITTED TO DIE
Miss Helen KieIblOck, Formerly of
WatertOwn, Adopts Girl Baby In
Portland, Oregon.
ECZEMA is THE CHILD'S AILMENT

Miss Helen Klieblock of Portland,
Ore, a trained nurse who is we'll
known in Watertown, has recently
adopted a girl baby in Portland rather
than let her die for the want of proper
attention, the verdict arrived at by
Portland physicians following the cor
oners verdict of acquital in the case
of DR.. Haiselden in Chicago, where a
defective was allowed to die because
the surgeon would not operate.
1t will be remembered that a New
York doctor went the Chicago doctor
one better and refused to operate to
save child's life when the case under
his charge was not mental weakling,
but merely deformity.
Now comes the Portland doctors and
they go the Chocago doctor two better
The baby which Miss Kielblock has
adopted is suffering from eczema, and
is neither feeble minded nor defOrmed.
Miss Kielblock was in Watertown last
summer, but before coming here she
had cared for the baby and had at time
SO helped the little sufferer that the
child's skin was almost free from
blemish but when she returned to her
duties in Oregon in September the lack
of proper attention had caused re-
lapse and the baby was almost solid
mass of sores and scab. She again
took charge of the child and her efforts
were again rewarded by seeing the
little patients skin clear and soft and
velvety. 1t appears, however, that the
Portland physicians had gathered in
spiration from the Chicago and New
York cases, so Miss Kielblock adopted
the girl to save it's life and demon
strate that death in this case was not
proper.
Miss Kielblock and the baby are now
on their way to Watertown, where
they will be the guests of rela-
tives for several weeks. On the way
here they are visiting relatives in diff
ferent cities, and this week they are
in ST. Paul.
Her mother, Mrs. Albertine Kiel-
block, arrived here from Portland two
weeks ago and will visit in Watertown,
Janesville, Beloit and Milwaukee for
several weeks She is in Beloit this
week
Miss Kielblock's grandmother is
Mrs Augusta Draeger, 1407 Third
street, and her sister is Mrs. Robert
Leopold, 217 North Second street.

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK.
A Good Story Going the Rounds About
Rev. knutzen and Tobacco
Chewing.

A story told about the meeting OF
Rev. knutzen, pastor of the First M. E.
church, and a friend, is so fraught
with brilliant repartee, that the Lea
der feels justified in giving it to its
readers.
The story goes that while walking
along the street with a friend, Rev.
Knutzen observed his companion take
a chew of tobacco, and asked him
what particular pleasure he derives
from putting such a weed into his
mouth
The friend, nothing slow, and wish
ing to crush the pastor with his own
weapons, quoted from Matthew will,
and said: mot that which entereth
into the mouth defileth the man; but
that which proceedeth out of the
mouth, this defileth man" With no
small degree of pride at his answer
he considered the incident closed but
not so.
No time was lost by the minister
who asked, then if that is true, why
don't you swallow the juice instead
of spitting?"

JUSTICE ScHMU1zLER
DOES THRIVING BUSINESS
Hears -Four Cases In Which Assault
and Battery Appears Twice and
Hatchet is Twice Heard From.
CHICAGO MAN FOUND GUILTY $40

The inevitable and ever-ready line
fence, with it's acknowledgements
aired in couft-was sol the boards in
Justice Schmutzler's court, Saturday,
at which time jury found that Ormey
Crandall OF Chicago, was guilty of as
saulting John Bailey, 415 North War
rem street and assessed fine and
costs totaling nearly $40.
The trouble appears to have started
when Mr. Crandalrs mother placed a
tub of leaves in the yard, with which
she intended TO bank the foundation Of
her house for the winter, but tub,
leaves and stakes were removed by
Mr.. Bailey, which precipitated an ar
gument between him and the Chicago
gentleman.
The evidence brought out the allega-
tion that ore party welded hatchet
threatingly and he was knocked down
by his opponent.
City Engineer Kraeft was drawn
into the case as a witness to give tes-
timony as to the exact location Of the
property diyiding line.
The verdict which assessed the fine
against Mr. Crandall will probably be
appealed to the Dodge county circuit
court.
Another suit was filed against Mrs.
Emeline Vokes, Mr.. Crandalls mother
charging assault and battery but was
thrown out of court on . question of
jurisdiction.
During the fight Mrs Crandall, wife
of the Chicago defendant in some way
gained possession Of the hatchet,
which furnished the foundation for the
filing of the third suit When Crandall
directed a subpoena for the appear
ance of his wife at his trial for assault
the subpoena cited her to produce the
hatchet. The officer serving the
replevin writ learned Of Mrs. Crandall
of the service of the subpoena and
neglected to read the replevin papers,
and this case was also thrown out of
court for lack of proper service.
The hatchet, determined to shine in
the lime light, was the basis for the
fourth court action, when Mr.. Bailey
instituted replevin proceedings to re-
cover the tool from the court, and he
was awarded judgment, but by stipla
ton his honor retained possession of
the hatchet until the assault case is
finally disposed of.
In the meantime, the property di-
viding line remains permanent fix
ture
The jurymen in the assault and bat
terry case against Crandall were Her.
man Kuehl, Theo. Koerner, Edward
Schmutzler, Albert Kruger, Charles
Heismann and Reinhold Block.

CHOCOLATE FIRM
WANTED 10 CATION
Representative Here from the East to
Organize 100000 Corporation.
Encouragement Not. Extended.
EMPLOYMENT FOR 100 PEOPLE

| Probably one of the most regretable
occurrences of recent weeks in Water
town was when last Thursday a man
who came to the city looking for a
manufacturing location was advised
by one of our citizens to look else
where, owing, partially, to the scarcity
of labor.
The gentleman in question was from
the Jersey Chocolate company, an
eastern corporation of wealth, and his
company sent him to this state, at
tracted by Wisconsin's great dairying
interests, to organize a company with
100000 capital, the majority of the
stock to be taken by eastern men.
While mis- concern is now doing a
thriving business, the intention is to
expand, and Watertown was the first
city visited, the statistics gathered
from private Investigations showing
that we are located in the midst of an
exceptionally rich dairying country
Had the gentleman been successful
in his quest in this city, it would have
the dairy products Of this section, be-
sides the investment of thousands OF
dollars in machinery and other equip
ment, and the employment of 100 peo-
pie with a monthly pay roll of between
$4,000 and $4,000 per month.
After the one discouraging inter
view the eastern visitor left for Madi-
son, but is in Chicago today, where
he is in conference with a Wa
tertown man who went to the windy
city yesterday evening to get audience
with him, and try to induce him to
give Watertown further consideration
Just how successful he will be is prob
lematical, but the hope is expressed
that he will be interested.
Of one thing there is no doubt: The
eastern company intends establishing
plant in Wisconsin. This is not
concern which would establish a man
ufactory and then look for a market
for it's products, because the market is
already established, but this is prob
lem of expansion and at the same time
to the source of supply of raw ma
terial
Watertown, situated as it is in rich
dairy county can not be surpassed as
an ideal location for factory of this
nature, besides the fact that while our
transportation facilities are now up
to a high standard, it can only be a
matter of time until T. M. E. r. e l..
Co. will be doing a freight business,
besides the possibility that the Badger
Electric Railway and Power company
will build into Watertown from Jeffer
son in 1918, and they will certainly
do a freight business, also.
With the advantages our city can
offer, it would appear on the face that
concerns such as referred to could
be accommodated and inducements Of
fered which would attract them, and
through them others would follow.

vorably on the proposition to install

counting for cities, and 5000 was al
lowed to pay for an instructor to in

resolution which brought out
some discussion was for the purchase
of about two and half acres Of land
from Dan Ryan, in Coles addition in
the northern part of the city 1t de-
veloped that Mr.. Ryan is hauling sand
from the property, and this was ques-
toned. The purchase was finally ap-
proved for $1,000 and Mr.. Ryan is al
lowed to haul 400 yards more from the
tract, when he must quit hauling.
The mayor, city clerk and finance
committee were instructed to adver-
tise for bidders for the 100000 bond
issue recently authorized for the high
school building.
By far the most discussion was pro-
voked when the information was
vouchsafed that a public utility cor
poration was putting in guy wires
about the city and was no. protecting
them with the proper boxing. No
little heat was shown by Alderman
Werner, who asked the council to ap-
point him committee of one to con-
fer with the proper utility officials and
he would stop the practice, but the
matter was finally settled by referring
the question to the board of public
works, not however, until the city at
torney had been called upon to rem
der two opinions as to the damage liza
bility.
The mater of setting poles for wires
was another subject brought out, AL
