ner's inquest was held by w. j. Beer
man of Gutenberg. Heart failure was
the cause of death.
Funeral was held Monday evening
Rev. A. @. Jet conducting the service.
Interment at CassyiIIe cemetery.
Deceased had acquaintance, locally
on both sides of the river and had
made his home with the Moore fami-
Iy for many years and was a willing
helper with farm work.
Last Thursday afternoon while
standing on the ferry boat seining for
minnows with dipnet Ronald Finney
fell headlong into deep water. His
only companion, Clifford Ishmael
shouted for help and fortunately Fred
Liscomb, on the river with his launch,
came in time to save Master Ronald
who had gone down for the third time.
His eyes were closed and he was full
of water. After Fred rolled him
around little he spit out the water,
opened his eyes and said that's the
second time" Last winter he ven
tured onto thin ice and went under
but only got wet and lost his sled.
His folks-the Thos. w Finney family,
say th.ere'II be no third time.

OR FISH "STORY"
SHRINKS OVERNIGHT-WHICH!

(Montfort items in Fennimore Times.)
Talk about your fish stories, here's
one. Albert Washburn and Burley
Doran caught a fish week ago Sun
day that they claimed weighed nearly
40 pounds.
They brought it home, skinned and
cleaned it, cut it up and placed it on
the ice in a tub in the back yard, and
about o'clock Monday evening they
thought they would take another look
at their prize, but found to their dis
appointment that the fish had nearly
all evaporated, or at least they hardly
had enough left for a meal, as it had
surely disappeared and so it must have
evaporated ,as it could not have walk
ed away.
One of the miners had his foot badly
injured at the mine Monday by one of
the mules kicking him just below the
ankle, but what seemed strange, the
mans shoe was not even marked, but
a round hole was torn in his sock
and also near his ankle bone, and cut
ting an artery. DR.. Ketterer was call
ed, stopped the excessive bleeding and
relieved the patients suffering.

BIDS LET FOR NEW PAROCHIAL
SCHOOL AT FENNIMORE.
(Fennimore Times. }

(FennimOre Times.)
The bids for the construction of the
new Catholic parochiaI school and
sisters home at FennimOre were open
ed Friday, June 80, and the contract
awarded to Anton Zwack Of Dubuque,
Iowa, whose bid of S23,319 was the
lowest. The two lowest bids were
within $31 of each other, which shows
how close was the bidding.
There were seven bids on the gen
eraI construction and six separate
bids on the heating and plumbing.
The Fennimore Hardware Company
had the lowest bid on the plumbing
and the Paul Miller Co., of Milwaukee,
was the lowest bidder on the heating
plant.
The excavation for the new school
is practically ready and the contrac-
tor is expected will begin at once and
the work pushed to completion.
The building is to be completed
within five months.

TO HAVE AN
$4,000 SCHOOL BUILDING

At the annual school meeting held
in Platteville last week the electors
18pSshrdI etaoi shrdI etaoi shrdluet
by an almost unanimous vote favored
a new high school building. The vote
stood 246 for and 25 against on this
measure and only one negative vote
was cast on the proposition to borrow
$4,000 for the new building. A COM
mittee Of three consisting of Fred
Krog, James Harms, and F. E. Hunt
ington, was appointed to act with the
school board in selecting site.
The report will be made at an adj
journed meeting to be held July "a.
PlatteviIle may we'll be proud Of
her educational institutions which
will consist of normal school, school
of mines and a modern city school
system.
FennimOre System Has Surplus.
That Fennimore's school system is
of first-class magnitude is shown by
the annual report made at the school
meeting last week. $18,769.75 was the
sum paid out during the fiscal year,
and $19,542.34 taken in-leaVing a
surplus Of $772.59.
Fennimore received $1,604.50 as tut
ton from outside sources which
speaks very well for the school, in
deed.

SPENT BULLET STRIKES MONT
FORT WOMAN IN BREAST,
(Montfort Mail.)

Quite a commotion was caused in
the vicinity of Mrs. Houses home
Tuesday morning, when the aged lady,
who was out in her yard, threw up
her arms and cried, ooh, My God, I'm
Shot"
This proved to be true. A % cali
bre bullet had struck her in the breast
penetrating her clothing and making
a slight wound upon her body. The
fact that the bullet was almost spent
accounts for the injury not being
more serious, possibly fatal.
Some one in the vicinity was using a
rife or airgun is responsible, and the
practice should be discouraged at
once.
Mrs. House suffered a nervous shock,
from which she will not recover for
some time.
