Jumping on the running board of the
machine young Godfrey stopped the
car. After an Investigation sit was dis
closed that the occupant of the car was
DR.. E. F. Williams, so years of age, of
Bay Settlement township, five miles
north of Green Bay, and that he had
succumbed to heart failure while driv-
ing his machine.
But for Godfrey's quick work in
stopping the car collision with other
automobiles would have resulted.

Turn Course
Of Stream

A number of years ago the water in
Draper's creek was turned into Devils
lake, the late John M. Inman taking the
contract to dig the canal. Z. G. Mar
riott and others raised the money by
subscription and the course of the
stream was changed in order t. divert
the water into the lake. Recently the
end of the canal was partly filled 30 the
water now goes down the stream to the
Baraboo river instead of pouring into
the lake. There are several inches of
water in the cellar of the log residence
erected for the park custodian and at
the present time the water is near to
some of the residences on the lowland. .
Part of the property owners and park
custodian would like to see the water
of Draper's creek go into the Baraboo
and others would prefer to see it emp
ty into the lake. Just what will be
done has not bee decided.
