AUTO ACCIDENTS

A series of auto accidents occurred
at Richland Center a few days ago,
and while none of them proved fatal
it is nevertheless a miracle that they
did not, the Observer observes. Ger
aid Sheafor, while going south near
the old woolen mill site on Ash creek,
ran off the embankment, which is al
most straight down for a distance Of
some fifteen feet. The front Of his
car struck the cement abuttments,
holding it on the bank. The tenders
of the car, springs and frame were
bent, but no damage done to the occu-
pants. While making the turn to the
east at the post-off1ce corner, F. P.
Lawrence, driving a Ford, struck and
ran over James Davis. Mr.. Davis was
badly shaken UP and bruised, but luck.
lily no bones were broken. At the cor
ner of Haseltine and Church streets
two autos came together with crash.
Tenders were broken and other dam.
age done. On Saturday an auto driv-

vOGLER PAYS
FINE AND COSTS

w. H. Vogler, who formerly con-
Quoted a saloon on Fourth avenue, and
who converted it into soft drink
place when the town went dry, has
paid fine of $4,000 and costs in JUS
tice H. L. Halsted's court as result
OF the farewell given the soldier boys
in his place on Saturday night, July
IA. The costs amounted to 1887 ad-
ditional. AS previously reported an
automobile brought a quantity OF
LIQUOR from Ableman and Kilbourn,
so the authorities state, and the drink
ing farewell was given in Vogler's
place. Mr.. Vogler explained to the
authorities that he die not get cent
out of the affair, only furnished the
place for the drinking. The fine was
made light for the reason that Mr.
! Vogler says he had no criminal intent
| in mind and thought liquor could be
given free to the soldiers. Since part
Of the soldiers were minors it placed
a different phase on the matter, and
on the charge of permitting those un-
der age to drink in his place, the fine
was paid. AS this is the first affair
of the kind since the town went dry
the authorities decided it best to adj
just the matter as has been done. The
authorities desire it stated, however,
| that a similar offense will be dealt
with to the full extent of the law. To
bring load of liquor to town and have
a drinking affair in public place
will not be tolerated, the officials state.
/ District Attorney James H. Hill,
Chief of Police S. A. Pelton, Justice
H. L. Halsted and others have been
working on the case.

FORTY THOUSAND
FOR LAKE ROAD

There will be no appeal from the
judgment of the county court OF Dane
county constituting the will of Wilbur
w. Warner, deceased, or from the or
der of the court directing the payment
Of the sum Of $4,000 to the town of
Baraboo. Formal notice Of this fact
has been filed in Judge Zimmerman's
court, and notice of the same served
upon the attorney, James, H. Hill, rep
resenting the town. This means that
the plans for this highway may now
be begun with certainty.
Under the decision of the court the
responsibility for the faithful perform
ance of the trust is upon the town of
Baraboo. This necessarily means an
enormous amount of extra work for
the town officers. 1t will be recalled
that the terms of the will provide that
$4,000 shall be used in constructing a
cement road from the high bridge in
the city of Baraboo to Devils Lake on
condition that the town of Baraboo
expend at least $4,000 in the construc-
ton of way for pedestrians along
the side of said road and the same
must be ornamented with trees and
shrubs. The court, also, held that
the town of Baraboo must show that
it raised this $4,000 before the $40,-
900 became payable, and this the town
did by showing payment to it Of ST.
500 by Sauk county and $1,400 by the
city of Baraboo, in connection with
S1,100 voted by the electors of the
town.
1t is now expected that City Engi-
neer French, the engineers represent
ing the state park board and the en-.
gineers representing the town, will be-
gin definite work on the plans and
specifications. The city of Baraboo
has heretofore designated the street
within the city to be improved, the
state park board will determine the
route within the park, and, of course,
the town will connect with it's portion
of the highway. The town of Baraboo
while made the responsible party feels
that this project is one of equal in
terest to the public generally and that
everyone will be interested to see that
this highway is made fitting memo
rial to the memory of Mr.. Warner in
addition to the utility and beauty it
will have for the communities here and
the state park.

REPAIR SOUTH
SHORE ROAD

Park Superintendent Atwood Smith
has caused the road at the south end
of Devils Lake to be repaired so that
automobiles can skirt the shore with

the Lake View hotel, through the
woods to the Merrimack road, to the
Wisconsin river, over the ferry and
on to Madison. To those who desire
to drive to the Kirkland side, the i'm
provement is also greatly appreciated.
Superintendent Smith has also erect
ed a number of mountain path S gns
which are appreciated by strangers.
The custodian is doing all he can to
make the park pleasant place to go
and the resort is becoming more pop
uiar every day.

We have made arrangements with
Nels Darling, the lecturer and com
munity problem man, who so closely
held the attention of his audience last
week at the chautauqua, to furnish a
series of articles on subjects pertain
ing to community building and well
fare.
Mr. Darling will write a series of ar
ticles entitled "Talks to the Business
Man." He will discuss the pros and
cons of newspaper advertising for the
retail merchant. The first series will
be followed by a second, ''Talks on Ad-
Vertising."
At first thought some Of our readers
will ask themselves, what interest
have l in these matters? ] am a farm
e,r and not interested in advertising"
The farmer who does not count him.
elf business man makes a mistake.
We are all business men and in the
selling game, whether we sell the
products of our soil, our factory, our
brains or our hands. If you wish to
sell your farm, your stock, your ma
chinery, your household goods, or any

one of the first essentials to success is
to know how to tell about it.
In his articles "The Home Town, "
re will deal with problems that are
common in every community of the

Darling knows how to write the pull
ing, get-the-business type Of advertis-
ing. He knows how and he knows
low to tell others how. He uses the
short-arm jab and lands with a punch.
He rings the bell every time he takes
a shot. He tells why we read some
advertising and give some only pass
ing glance.
We have gone to considerable ex-
pense in securing these articles from
the pen of "The Town Doctor" believ-
ing they will prove to be helpful and
interesting.

IAV[e !. LIFE IN
EARLY MORNING
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

G.. A. Schroeder shot himself with a
revolver at his home southwest of this
city about o'clock this morning. He
was unmarried, and those in the house
at the time of the unfortunate affair
were his s:ster-in-law, Mrs. Gustav j.
Schroeder and daughter of Baraboo.
Just about the time Mrs. Schroeder
awoke she heard click and thought
it was a trap. Later she arose and,
after milking asusual went to call Mr..
Schroeder that he might do the sep
arating. She found him dead just in
side the door. The neighbors were at
once notified thinking he might be
i'll and not realizing that he was dead.
AS soon as the neighbors came they
notified the parents and other rela-
tives in Baraboo, also District Attorney
J. H. HILL No inquest was held. The
ball entered the temple and death re-
suited at once.
The relatives came as soon as pos
sible, but nothing could be done. He
had been at Mendoza for treatment,
and his condition was becoming such
that it was feared it would be neces-
sary to return. He did not care to
do this and no doubt decided to end
his troubles and the care he was to
those about him. Mr.. Schroeder was
aged about so years.

ACCIDENT FATAL
TOPORTAGE CHILD

Little Russell Lucas, four-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. William Lucas,
Portage, was fatally injured when he
was struck while crossing a street, by
an automobile driven by Frank Day,
receiving fractured skull which re-
suited in death few hours later.
The distressing accident was wit
messed by his mother and two little
sisters and brother, who were help
less to prevent it.
Mrs. Lucas and her four little chill
dren had been walking up the east
side of Cass street, and when they
were about opposite the residence OF
DR.. Theil, the mother with two of the
children crossed to the west side of
the street, Mrs. Lucas leaving Russell
and his little sister on the east side
and telling them to wait there until
she returned for them.
Ran to Meet Mother
Having taken two of the children
across safely, Mrs. Lucas had started
to return for the other two when the
sad accident occurred. The two chill
dren, seeing their mother coming to
get them, started out into the street
to meet her. Just as they did so an
auto coming from the north stopped
Mrs. Lucas from going forward to
meet the children, and the auto driv-
en- by Mr.. Day going north on the
right-hand side of the street, struck
the little fellow, who evidently was
watching the auto on the other side
of the street and did not see the Day
auto. His little sister, who was a
few steps ahead of him, escaped in
jury.
The auto was running slow and the
driver was absolved from blame.
