COLUMBIA COUNTY
TOWNS TO GET LIGHT

Representatives of the Wisconsin
Power company met with the town
board in this village Tuesday after
noon and the latter granted the COM
pany franchise to erect line
through the township of Windsor.
The company expects to run their
line so as to reach the villages Of
Windsor, De Forest, Morrisonville,
Arlington and Poynette. The line
will probably be extended from Dane,
but may come from Portage. If pos
sible the work of setting the poles
will be started this fall. The fran
chise specifies that the line must be
completed before September 1, 1917.

HlzENIS
HERO OF BRIGADE
LA CROSSE TROOPER RIDES TO
RESCUE OF HIS COLONEL,
AND STOPS RUNAWAY
HORSES

Private Roy Hazen, Company M,
Third regiment La Crosse, Us the
hero of the Wisconsin brigade. To
his horsemanship and to the jumping
skill and speed of his little broncho,
a pony he bought at New Braunfels,
some time ago, Col. John w. Heard,
an army cavalary commander, owes,
if not his life, at least escape from
serious injury when his team, fright
ened by an aeroplane, became un-
manageable, causing the driver to
leap, leaving the colonel alone in
rear seat with the reins dragging
along the road.
When he saw the driver leap from
his seat, Private Hazen dashed his
horse cross lots, leaped over a rail-
road track and caught up with the
team after it had run half mile
Seeing that the left horse was
wheeling away from him and was
about to hurdle a ditch, he dropped
to the rear, galloped up on the oppo-
site side, caught the right horse by
the bride and stopped the team.
Some day this week Private Hazen,
who is a son of Mrs. Ida Hazen, 1886
Badger street, La Crosse, will call on
Colonel Heard at the latter's order.
The family formerly resided in
Baraboo and moved to La Crosse
some years ago.

good time. The attraction is now
housed for the winter that repairs
NAV be made on the material, and the
animals as we'll as the men enjoy a
rest. The show came from Baton
Rouge direct to Baraboo.
Injured Horses Brought Home
Eleven of the horses burned in the
tent fire at Huntsville have been
brought home. Seventy horses lost
their lives. It is not known how the
fire started, but when the blaze reach
ed the tent it went like a flash. The
tents are soaked with parafine and
other infamable material to make
Them water proof. The men were at
dinner at the time and it was impossi-

the loss had occurred.
Into New Hotel
Those with the show who have been
accustomed to living in the old hotel

The retention of many units of the
RatiOnal guard as part of the force
which is to man the several infantry
posts that are to patrol an important
section Of the Mexican border is sig
nifcant. The guard is not an ineff1-
cient body, as has been asserted since
its mobilization for duty on the bor-
der Doubtless some units Of the
guard were below the standard which
should be expected, but that will be
the case with any class of troops sud-
denly summoned from armOries and
barracks to the field of war. The sig
nifcant thing when troops are plunged
from peace into war Is stamina
physical, mental and moral stamina.
Given this the troops can be depended
upon, and soldiers who can be depend
ed upon can develop an efficient army
under test in a very short time. The
trade of soldering is most exacting,
and ultimate decision rests upon hui
man endurance. The man who gets
as far as the Mexican border has won
half the battle over himself. He is
81 per cent efficient, anyway. How
much more than 81 per cent lies I'M
der his jacket will be disclosed by a
tryout, and in no other way.
