DIES OF LocKJAW.
Wound Caused by Stepping on Nail
Proves Fatal to Local Boy.

Luclen Regffa, Jf., VINO was taken
to the Charity Hospital in New Or
leans last Monday morning to be
treated for tetanus, caused by stick
ing a nail in his foot, died in that in
stitution at $3.50 o'clock Thursday
morning. His mother and sister, Mrs.
Tony Falsetta, who accompanied him
to New Orleans, were at his bedside
when the end came, and both became
hysterical when the lads death was
announced.
While engaged in delivering meat
for local butcher Sunday morning,
Aug. 6, young Regira stepped on
rusty nail in the yard Of a residence
I in Faubourg la Pipe. He was given
first aid treatment by an inmate Of
the house, and later received the at
tention of a physician. The injury
seemed to be healing all right and the
boy apparently suffered no i'll effects
up to last Sunday afternoon, when
he complained Of stiffenie of the
jaws. His condition became so serl-
Gus that it was decided to rush him to
New Orleans for treatment, and ne
/ left on the first train Monday morn

tightly locked and little hope was
held out for his recovery. . luesu fs,

CANDIDATES START
BASE BALL PRACTICE
HORIZON AND WAPUN ASK FOR
PLACE IN THE CENTRAL
LEAGUE.
Local Candidates Started Practice
Sunday and Regular Practice Will
Commence i'm One Week.

Several of the local players made
their appearance at Washington
park, Sunday, for their first spring
workout, and if the weather permits
regular practice will commence next
Sunday, as Manager KronitZ expects
that most of the players looking for a
place on the team will be on hand at
that time.
Manager Kronitz believes that he
will present WATERFOWL with an ex-
ceptionally strong team this year, as
he is in receipt of many letters from
experienced players who are anxious
for place on the team.
He has strong battery in view, and
also a few good infeld men that will
re added to last years team.
1t was expected that the schedule
for the year would be finished before
this time, but as Horizon and
Waupun have asked for berth in the
league it will necessitate some
changes.
Horizon and Waupun will put
strong teams in the field if they are
able to gain admission in the league
and in regard to the financial condi-
ton of these teams, it might be said
that the only thing necessary for them
to do is to tell the business men of
their cities that they need money,
and they get it.

MASONIC TEMPLE
OFFERED FOR SALE
Building Which Was Recently De.
strOyed Is on the Market to
Highest Bidder.
WALLS ARE In GOOD CONDITION

By referring to For Sale" notice,
which appears in this issue of THE
LEADER it will be seen that sealed pro-
pOsals will be received by the trustees
of Masonic lodge No. 40, by anyone
who might wish to own the property
A fire which wrecked the interior of
the building on the night of February
IS, and at the same time caused great
loss to the tenants, left the walls and
foundations in good condition, and the
boiler which supplied the heat is prac-
tically infect.
The building has frontage on Main
street of seventy-two feet, and depth
of eighty-five feet, and occupies a
plot of the most valuable land in
Watertown's business district.
WOrkmen are now clearing the
debris out of the building, which will
give it an advantage for inspection to
prospective buyers.
This move on the part of the
Masonic fraternity does not mean that
they will be without a home. There
is no doubt but that they will build a
permanent home in the near future.

NEW AND POWERFUL MACHINE
WITH THE MAXIMUM OF
EFFICIENCY.
In an Interview MIR. DOrnfeId Tells
The Leader all the Good Points,
Which Are Many.

About a month ago THE LEADEB
gave to the reading public of Water
town an account of how the DOrnfeld
Iron Works of this city had been ap-
preached by the BrilliOn Iron works
of Brillion, Calumet county, whereby
the local concern could make all parts
of an improved farm tractor excepting
the engine, which is made by the
northern company.
The proposition presented by the
BrilliOn people contained SO many
advantageous possibilities to Mr.. Dorm
field that he did not hesitate to enter
into an agreement with them, and
the result is that the tractors are
now being built by the DOrnfeld Iron
works.
The conditions under which the two
firms work gives to WatertOwn quite
an impetus in it's industrial interests.
After the engines are shipped to
Watertown the Dornfeld Iron works
will construct all other parts and
assemble the tractors, and they will
be marketed from this city.
The tractor involves many new
features, the most prominent among
them being the position of the plows.
The plows are under the machine, and
the operator in seat at the rear con-
trolls the plows and at the same time
has them constantly in view. One
operator runs the machine and con-
trolls the plows, whereas on almost
all other makes two men are required,
one to operate the tractor and one to
operate the plow.
The tractor now being made in
Watertown, can be equipped with i've
plows as easily as with one, and the
labor cost will not be increased.
This tractor also involves a coma
paratively new theory in construction,
but one which has been put to every
test and its practicability demonstrat-
ed There are three wheels, two for
ward and one aft. The power is all
transmitted to the front wheels, which
readily answers the possibility of the
plows being under the machine in
stead of being drawn behind it.
Another feature in favor OF this ar
rangement is the fact that the stress
is nearer the engine and drive wheels,
which gives the machine at least fiji
teen per cent. more power per horse
power, besides the fact that fences
can be more closely approached.
This tractor, however, would not by
any means fill the wants of the users
of purchasers if blowing was the only
use to which it could be put There
is not a tractor on the market today
which can do more, and most cannot
do as much. Every conceivable trac-
tor useage is met, and besides, if the
owner wishes he can run the machine
up to his corn grinder, fan, churn or
other stationary machinery, throw the
tractors propelling gears out, and use
the engine for power purposes.
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1916-04-11

The engine the Brillion Iron
works furnishes is claimed to be
the last word in construction, every
one being subjected to the severest
tests
The DOrnfeld Iron works is now en-
gagged in completing the tractor, which
includes all the frame work and stand
on which the engine is mounted, the
wheels, seat and all other parts. The
assembling is no unconsiderable part
of the work, and the painting will
complete the tractor.
These tractors will be marketed
and shipped from Watertown, which
within itself, is quite an item
The Dornfeld Iron works expects
to have the first tractor ready for de-
livery within few weeks The force
now at work are making the parts,
and in the process of manufacture
considerable material must of neces-
sity be completed ahead for the
assembling force at which time there
will be constant output.
In an interview with Mr.. Dornfeld
THE LEADER was told that this work
will steadily employ within a short
time fifty men, and when his force
is working to capacity on these trac-
tors at least seventy-five men will be
employed.
Mr.. Dornfeld also says thai the mat
ter of getting raw material with which
to manufacture his part of the trac-
tor will be easy from the fact that
he will require what is known in the
market as short length iron and steel
castings, which are always more east
ly procurable than the heavy and long
lengths used in many classes of manu-
facture
The completed tractor will weigh
between 1000 and 5000 pounds, which,
combined in the centralizing prOpul-
sion, gives it it's great strength with
a maximum of efficiency from the
engine.
The cost to the final purchaser is
$685., which is considered quite reason
able when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that many tractors with no
greater possibilities sell as high as
$4,000

ject the Watertown Advancement as

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
In Final Course Number at COngre-
gati0nal Church Friday Evening.

On Friday evening in the Congrega-
tiOnal church, the WATERFOWL SYM
phony orchestra will give the second
concert Of it's career The first was
given last year in the Turner hall.
Watertown's greatest musician unre-
servedly lauded that first attempt to-
day Although fewer in number, the
aggregation is undoubtedly more eff
Gent A years extra work and train
ing have not been in vain.
The history of the organization goes
back five years. A lover of music and
young people gathered a few congen-
ial spirits and held occasional rehear-
sails. Gradually through the next two
years a larger and more capable group
of musicians were enthused until the
present orchestra came into being
Two years ago the orchestra needed
instruments, and in order to purchase
them borrowed considerable sum OF
money, most of which however, was
repaid after the first concert. 1t is
hoped that, with your patronage, the
concert next Friday will satisfac-
torily liquidate the whole indebted
ness.
The success of the concert will de-
pend on you. The prices are popular
as you will see by the window cards
The program will please all people
Your gracious support is requested.
There will be no solicitation. Tickets
can be had from the Rev. n Carter
Daniel. Kindly phone or call. Some
choice seats are still left, but they are
going fast. An evenings enjoyment
next Friday, which will not be dupli-
Gated this season.

county as a La Toilette man, while
George Kispert carried the county as
