WATERFOWL POULTRY SHOW
To Be HELD NEXT WEEK
Exhibition in Turner Opera House the
Best i'm the History of the Local
AssOciatiOn-Offi Elated.
BIRDS HERE FROM MANY CITIES,

If fine feathers make fine birds,'
there is no doubt as to the quality of
exhibition which will be presented TO
the people of Watertown and vicinity
next week, beginning Wednesday, De-
cember 1, and ending Sunday, the 5th.
Nor will visitors who come from a
distance have cause for regret
The exhibition will be in Turner
opera house, and while every effort
has been made to present collection
of birds to please the visitor, the ex-
hibitors' comfort has also been well
provided for, and every devise known
to the officers of the association has
been exhausted to give the exhibits
all the advantages of proper housing
and display.
Those in charge have recently pur-
chased wire coops for the accommoda-
ton of 500 birds, and added TO the
coops previously owned by the associa-
ton, provision is now available for
1000 birds
Secretary Fred Wittenwyler has re-
ceived entries from the largest num-
Der Of exhibits ever placed in the his
tory of the association at a date so far
in advance of the opening, and they
are still coming. The entry books
will close Monday of next week
Exhibitors are now registered from
Green Bay, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Ra-
cine, Sheboygan, Milwaukee, Kenosha,
GAINESVILLE, Beloit, Fort Atkinson, JET
ferson, Columbus, Portage, and many
other cities, and not few of the
visitors will send from SO to $50 birds,
which, added to the fine stock that Wa
tertown fanciers will enter, will be
one of the finest and most valuable
collections of poultry and pet stock
brought together in one hall in this
part of the country.
The association now has over eighty
members, and to make the show sue
cess it has meant that all members
have of necessity taken lively in
terest in the work of making the next
weeks show success.

NEW INTERURBAN
INTO WATERFOWL
NOW BUILDING FROM WHITEWA-
TER TO LAKE GENEVA-SOME
OF THE ROAD COMPLETE.
Charles Dean, Counsel for the Badger
Railway and Light Company. i'm
City, Saturday-Here In 1918.

Charles Dean, general counsel for
the Badger Railway and Light COM
pany, was in Watertown, Saturday, on
business connected with his company
and in an interview with the Leader
admitted that his company is casting
wistful eyes on this city as a northern
terminus
Work of securing the right of way
for the road is practically completed
between Lake Geneva and Whitewater,
and construction is now in progress.
In fact, six miles of road is now COM
pleted southeast of Whitewater, and
the balance of the route is being
worked on with a force of men which
will insure it's completion in a rea-
sonably short time.
Enough stock has been sold to in
sure the completion of construction
and equipment of the road with rolling
stock and all necessary transmission
and other wires and power stations,
after which, Mr.. Dean says, the next
move will be to build into Jefferson
from Whitewater, possible in 1917
then into Watertown in 1918.
There is no doubt but that the Bad
ger Railway and Light Co. is pierce
ing most fertile and prosperous sec
ton of Wisconsin when they shall
have completed the Whitewater-Lak
and later build into Watertown will be
adding most valuable revenue pro-
ducing territory to their patronage
The matter of whether or not the
road will handle package freight, milk
and creamery products in their bust
ness, or whether they will make the
same mistake that was made by The
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
company, and do an exclusive passen-
ger business, was not discussed, but
the Leader is led to believe that
freight will be part of the patronage
they will seek.
Mr.. Dean will be remembered by
many of our business men as the real
estate attorney for T. M. E. r. & L.
Co., and in that capacity transacted
considerable business in Watertown in
connection with acquiring property
rights for the railway division, and
also in the acquisition of realty for
what is now the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric company.
Mr.. Deans residence is for the pres
ent at Hartland, where he and Mrs
Dean have been living since he moved
from Milwaukee some time ago.

CHIEF H. c. BLOCK
CAPTURES FORGER
PASSES BAD PAPER ON +. III. HOL.
LIE AND THE ID. & Z. KUSEL
COMPANY.
Tries to Victimize Frank Kube-Puts
Up Fights When Arrested and
When Searched.

Probably one of the nerviest, ant
ling crooks was captured Saturday
night by Chief of Police H. C.. Block
when that officer arrested a man
about 45 years old, who claims his
name is C. F. Lewis and that his home
is in st. Paul.
Lewis went to F. H. Holes saloon
Main and Fifth streets, and passed a
check for $3.50, with The ]. B. Muir
ply Co. name signed to it. Mr.. Holle
after cashing the check, became sus-
picious and notified Chief Block, who
Immediately started hunting the for
ger.
After following various clews the
chief met his man coming out of Frank
streets, where he had tried to pass
another forged check, but had been
turned down by Mr. Kube.
When the chief told Lewis he was
under arrest a fight was started in
which the chief landed on the forger
a few of his sledge hammer blows
which had the effect of starting a CO.
pious flow of blood, and at the same
time dampening Lewis pugilistic ar
dor. He then accompanied the chief
to the station where he again became
obstreperous when an attempt was
made to search him. Chief Block
however, persuaded" him to submit
to the search, the result being that
$74 was found in his coat sleeve
Later in the evening it became
known that he had passed bad check
on the ID. & F. Kusel Co. for 1880
In an interview with the Leader,
Chief Block says that Lewis methods
are those followed by many forgers-
to work Saturday afternoon after
banking hours, then before the busi-
ness houses are open Monday morning
a getaway has often been success
fully accomplished But in this case
Lewis showed an ambition to accum-
ulate wealth too rapidly, which natur-
ally had the effect of making his Wis
Tins suspicious.
quite positive that Lewis is the same
man who worked for Sheblack & Her
zog as painter about four years ago
and at that time was engaged in some
questionable transactions.
Yesterday Lewis was taken before
Justice of the Peace Rohr, who bound
him over to the circuit court, and in
default of $1,000 bond he was locked
up in the county Jail at Jefferson.
where he was taken yesterday after
noon.

TWO BALKY AUTOS.

Which Makes the Air Turn Blue.

the quick start for the auto engine

POSTS fertile brain got in its work.
so he staged show for residents of
Second street by hitching the ma
chine behind an interurban car and
running up and down the street until
the joints loosened up and it would
run of it's own accord.
OF course, George would not suggest
that his idea would have commercial
value to his company, but Watertown
auto owners who find their machines
cold" might timber them up by hitch
ing them to $4,000 street car and
cavort through the streets.
Restauranteur's Auto Climbs Fence.
w Riff, proprietor of the Star lunch,
sos Main street, had an experience
Friday, which he does not care to re-
peat.
While driving his auto from Johnson
Creek to this city the machine skidded
until it's position was directly across
the road. Mr.. Riff shut the power eff
when the skidding commenced, and
turned it on again, with the result that
the auto plunged forward, and did
pretty good job of climbing a stone
fence.
With the assistance of crowbars and
passersby the unruly critter was final
ly coaxed back onto the highway and
the journey home completed without
further incident.
The only damage done was to Mr..
Riffs temper.
