"MORE DAYLIGHT" PLAN.
Committee to Determine Feasibility
of Plan For Milwaukee.

A committee to determine whethe.
or not it is feasible for Milwaukee to
turn the hands of the clock anead one
hour during the summer months in
order to secure more daylight during
the working hours will be appointed
by John L. Klinger, president of the
NJ and M. association.
The investigation was authorized
by the board OF directors of the asso-
citation at meeting held recently.
The committee will be instructed to
ascertain the physical, economic and
social benefits to be derived from NOV
ing the clock ahead.
If the committee finds that more
daylight is desirable and practical, it
will seek the cooperation of the in
dustrial commercial and transporta-
ton interests of the city, as well as
the approval of the city administra-
tion toward inaugurating the change
next year.
A suggestion has been made that
the same results would be obtained
by starting the days activities an
hour sooner, stores and factories
opening an hour earlier, and closing
an hour earlier, thus eliminating the
confusion which would arise if differ
ent cities had different time.

the two brothers were on their way

NO HOT CONTEST IN
LAST GAME OF SEASON
NEW LEAGUE RECORD SET BY
CRANDALL, SUNDAY AT PITCH
FOR MADISON.
Stars From All Over-VisitOrs Get
Nine Hits-TWO Runs For
The Locals.

The Madison Conklins came to Wa
tertown Sunday with a bunch of new
men, who have seen service in various
leagues and college,, and walked off
victorious with 5 to score George
Crandail formerly of the Milton col
lege nine, and the GAINESVILLE Cardi-
mails, pitched the first no hit game of
ord of eighteen strikeouts. The two
runs chalked up by the Goslings were
due to CrandaIl's wildness in the early
part of the game. Walters was hit
by a pitched ball, and Lewandowski
and Powers waited until Crandall gave
over third made the second of the two
runs.
Art Henke pitched WELL although in
the fifth the visitors lifted a few for
brought in three runs. With first and
second occupied, Henke stopped a
short liner from Corcoran at bat, and
delivered it to third Schumann did
all that was necessary in touching
the sack, but Umpire Staatz called
the runner safe and wouldn't change
his mind. Staatz gets credit for hit
and couple of runs.
Waller covering right field for the
Madison team, pulled bone when he
tapped Hill on the shoulder as the
latter reached third. Waller was
coaching and Staatz Immediately call
ed the runner out.
Schumann did good work on two
double plays, ably assisted by Kohl
on one OF them.
Besides Crandall, the Madison outfit
had Rice, catch on the State Univer-
sity team; Linnehan, at short, form
erly played in Dakota; Hartman, at
left field, is Juneau man; Coughlin,
on second, has played in the Wiscon-
sin-Illinois league, and Waller of Bea-
yer Dam in right field. Some aggre-
cation to beat!

SILK SPECIAL" KILLS
UNIDENTIFIED MAN
STRANGER MEETS DEATH UNDER
WHEELS OF TRAIN AFTER
LONG RIDE.
Mangled Remains Found by Trainmen
Just West of the WatertOwm
Junction.

While beating his way" an un-
identified man met his death on the
c. M. & st. Paul tracks under the
wheels of the silk special" train
carrying several carloads of silk.
The accident accurred about o'clock
Friday evening, short distance west
of the crossing at the Watertown juno
ton. The body was badly mangled,
being cut in two above the hips, the
legs parted from each other and one
leg and an arm cut in two. The legs
and lower part of the body were drag
ged some distance from where the
accident occurred.
The accident was discovered by a
trainman while the train was being
switched to another track. Another
man. who was also beating his way
on the train, identified the remains
as man he had met in La Crosse and
travelled with to Portage. Here they
separated and rode on different parts
f the train. He was bound for Mil
Waukee.
TIE police were notified of the acci-
dent and the remains were removed
to the undertaking parlors of Schmutz-
Ter & Oestreich Co.
The only mark of Identification was
the name of "A. Meyer" on the tailor's
label Of the dead mans coat. The
coat was of dark material with
fine grey points. The trousers were
made of corduroy, and his bat and
shoes those of a working man. In a
pocket notebook were records of work
done in various places, but no names
or dates. In the pockets were a razor,
strop, soap and pocketbook contain
ing 68 cents.
The dead man was between 80 and
35 years old, of medium height and
build, light completed and smooth
shaven, with light brown hair.
District Attorney A. l.. Stengel auth
orized the burial of the remains with
out an inquest, it being apparent that
there was no element of foul play in
the mans death.

PERFORMING BEARS HERE.
Animals VIII Roller Skate and Wres-
tie at Local Rink.

Manager Payne of the Pastime roll
,er rink is keeping his promise to liven
up the place with some interesting
attractions. The first step is an un-
usual one. Two skating and wrest-
ling bears will be brought to Water
town for a three days stay. Mr..
Payne tells us that the animal per-
formers will skate for the audience,
md will wrcstle any young men who
wish to try their courage and skill.
Although it sounds dangerous, many
human opponents have met the bears
and none have been injured. The an
imals are muZZled and mittened when
they appear in the ring, to prevent
their resorting to unfair methods OF
attack.

BOLT ENTERS BARN
AND KILLS HORSES

Permits Bolt To Do COnsid-

BUT BARN REMAINS UNINJURED.

During the thunderstorm early
Tuesday morning, lightning killed
three horses belonging to Henry APP
penfeld, who lives near Grellton The
horses were in the barn, and the
building was outftted with lightning
rods, but due to some defect in the
rodding system, they failed to protect
the horses. By some caprice of the
bolt, the barn was not damaged in the
least.
Though the storm was not severe
in Watertown, surrounding places had
heavy electrical storm with as much
as One-fOurth inch of rainfall
