chief cause of this step backward to-

which fenced meadow land has been
left to become, technically, "unculth

The final report just submitted

Baraboo was about all that could be
desired The weather was fine, the
music was excellent, the parades were
attractive, the attendance was a RsMl- %
titude, and, barring the accident dt
the fair grounds, the day was one
round of pleasure.
Flags, bunting and other decorations
beautified the city. Thousands OF
flags were displayed at the homes.
Troops Arrive
The first event of the day was the
arrival of the First Regiment band
and members of company A from
Madison. They were met at the sta

trained by Rev. E. G. Henke. AS soon
as thew returned from the station the

RUNNING HORSE

Rider Suffers Broken Leg and Top
Of Machine Is Considerably
Damaged in Crash

Near Witwen in the southern part
of the county, Eugene Enge had the
misfortune to break both bones in
his leg below the knee when the
horse he was riding collided with an
automobile driven by Rev. Happe. In
company with some companions he
was riding on horseback, going at a
fast clip down a hill. Rev. Happe,
with his family ir the car, was ap-
preaching and both collided on ac-
count of a passing team. The family
of the minister was very much fright
ened when the horse thrashed around
on top of the car, breaking the glass
windshield and smashing the metal
hood. The horse and rider fell and
were assisted to their feet by those
present. The injured man was taken
to his home and will recover, likewise
the horse. Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Enge
came from Prairie du Sac to remain
at the Enge home at Witwen for a
short time.

RATS TURN TAILS
TOWARD PORTAGE
(Portage Register.)


When Dave Owens of Portage in
'vited the Knights of Pythias and their
ladies to a real barn dance in Gale
donia, it appears the genial clerk of
court had other views in mind than
just to entertain his friends.
When the contents of those thirty
or more autos were unloaded and the
orchestra began to play, every rat
on the Owens farm left his hiding
place and scrambled off toward Bar
aboo.
One of the older ones in the rear
rank told Ed. Rebholz he considered
it was time to leave when mob like
that could tighten up the whole sky
and drown the wall Of a tribe OF
Comanchee Indians.
Ed. Staudenmayer and David Will
liams started calling off, but were
soon recruited to the kitchen, and
Kelley Jones did the best he could to
keep things going.
Covers were laid for 64, but owing
to the unexpected crowd, some six or
eight were obliged to eat off one
cover.
The crowd began to disperse at
1870 and it was decided and solemn
ly sworn to, that if those Caledonians
ever asked crowd out there again
everybould would quit where he was
and go on the first call.
