the body to the home of his parents
on East street in Baraboo.
The parents and members of the
family, as well as many others on the
scene were greatly saddened by the
accident. It was thought Louis was
seized with cramps, having eaten
heartily a short time before he went
into the water.
The youth was born nineteen years
ago on the fourth of last December,
in Baraboo, and had always resided
here. In the city directory he is list

PORTAGE MEN SEE
Offers IN RIVER

While fishing down the Wisconsin
river near Wildcat bluff Friday Louis
Rotter and Ray Owen saw a sight
which nowadays is rarely seen in
this locality. While out in a boat
about Z p. m. they noticed suddenly
several black objects in the water
moving toward them and emitting
threatening noises.
"Sea lions" cried Owen. "Sea SER
pents," thought Rotter as he backed
the. boat away from the angry crea-
lures. Then gaining courage and
DESTROYS that other Portage friends
nearby see the animals also, they
circled around the water animals and
drove them toward Aliens landing,
below Dekorra, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Otto Kopplin and William Netzo were
at the time.
They also took boat and Otto,
who is we'll versed in river inhabi-
tants, pronounced the animals to be
offers. And they were fine specimens
of river otter, too, all several feet in
length. There were five of them.
The Portage fishermen spent about
half an hour chasing the animals
back and forth to get a good view of
them, and a good sized crowd of
country people from that vicinity gath
cred on the bank to see them.-Port-
