The Johnston Fuel & Warehouse Co.
has purchased the yards and bust
ness of the Baraboo City Fuel Co.,
owned by Philip Michaud and George
w. Howe. The Johnston Fuel &
Warehouse Co., is under the active
management of E. S. Johnston. This
leaves but two coal firms in Baraboo,

necessary for the dealers to store
more coal if they are to be sure of a
supply for the winter season. The
Johnston firm will not only use the
new yards just purchased, but will en-
large their present quarters.

Mr.. and Mrs Ralph Fiske and
daughters of Whitewater with Mr.. and
! Mrs. B. A. Ward of Baraboo visited
Mirror Lake and the Dells last We'd
nesday While returning from Cold
Water canyon at the latter place,
where the path in places is barely
wide enough in which to walk, with
high rocky walls on one side and an
almost perpendicular descent on the
other to the water below, their daugh-
ter Virginia, a child of four years, mo-
mentarily let go her mothers hand
and slid feet downwards beneath the
frail railing. Mrs. Fiske grasped the
child's head when about to go through
and held it close to the ground with
her left hand, while with her right
hand she pulled the little ones body
back.
An eyewitness says: "All who be-
held the accident stood spellbound,
unable to realize the awful accident
that might have been. This path is
a very dangerous one to travel. and
the frail poles are poor protection. In
places they bend at hands touch;
at others they have given way at the
( fastenings and should be replaced
