BUY LAND FOR
WARNER ROAD

A member of the state highway
commission was at Baraboo a few days
ago and made arrangements to pur-
chase a strip of land north and east
of the .Bonham schoolhouse from Mr.
and Mrs. Thiele for the Warner me-
mortal road. The purchase of this
land will obviate a sharp turn at the
southwest corner Of the school ground.
At the northwest corner of the, park
where the road enters the woods a
small piece of land has also been
purchased from Mr.. Ablema IN order
to avoid a sharp turn on entering the
park. Arrangements are being made
by the city to purchase land at the
south extremity of Vine street in order
to obyiate two short turns, the land
giving a short cut from the south end
of Vine to Walnut. The grading by
the town of Baraboo and the city of
Baraboo is progressing rapidly. The
state has taken no steps to do the
work in the park but will begin active
operations soon. No change has been
made and in all likelihood he road
will go through the Claude woods
City Engineer III. e. French says that
care will be exercised not to destroy
the trees in laying out the road along
the rocky ledge.

AUTO ACC DENT
AT MERRIMACK

Another auto accident occurred on
Tuesday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock
when car ran off the road and turned
turtle about two niles west of Merri-
mack near Gallus slough. The car was
driven by Sydney Carr who was being
taught how to operate if by Jay Peck
of this city. Both mon were pinned
under the car and Carr received a frac-
tured shoulder. Peck was hurt inter
|nally and at the last report was hav-
ing hemorrhages from the lungs. Both
men were taken to the home of John
.Jenewein of Merrimack and a physi-
clan was called Immediately.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ziegler of Fair
field, who had been fishing near Merri-
mack, were the first ones to reach the
scene of the accident.
Mr.. Peck drives a truck for one of
the Baraboo cremeries and has wife
and one child. Mr.. Carr recently re-
turned from France, where he served
in the A. e. f., and has no relatives
near here.
The automobile was going slowly, as
the driver knew very little about run
ming the car when it left the road.
People who saw the accident say they
can't imagine how it went into the
ditch and turned turtle thirty feet
from the road.

Zantow's home and the forward ma
chine was thrown over into the ditch
with the tht'ee occupants beneath.
Mr. Hursh had the presence of mind
to turn off the power to prevent a pos
sible fire. Those working on the high
way rushed to the aid of the unfortu-
nate people and they were removed
from their perilous position.
1t was found that Mrs. Hursh is
the most severely injured; broken
arm and dislocated elbow. She was
taken to the Baraboo hospital Her
husband is injured along one side, but
fortunately no bones are broken. He
is able to be about. At first it was
thought he was the most injured, as
he was practically unconscious and
lay for time on the grass after being
removed from beneath the car. Later
an examination showed he was injured
along one side of the body and sus-
tanned hard knock on the head.
Miss Cauley was very much fright
ened but not seriously injured. The
car driven by Mr.. Hopkins did not 60
over and he escaped harm.

BULLET GOES
THROUGH WATCH

Two interesting souvenirs of the
great war have been exhibited in Par
deeville. One Of them by Royal
Thurber and the other by Harold
Yeliek.
Perhaps the most interesting was
the one shown by Thurber, which he
brought back with him from the Sois-
sons front. 1t was his watch. In the
battle of scissors he was wounded
three times, once through the hand,
once through the left arm and the
last time through the body just above
the hips. 1t was the last wound that
gave him the souvenir: The bullet,
fired from a German rifle, struck him
on his right side, passing almost ex-
actly through the center of his gold
watch, the ball passing through and
lodging in the left side. Of course
the young man was taken to the hos
pital and operated upon. The ball
was removed from his body and the
nurse gave it to him. In the back of
the watch was a picture of the young
mans mother, but of course the watch
is so badly. damaged that the case can
not be opened 1t would take a lot
of money to coax that watch away
from Mr. Thurber He enlisted with
the Reedsburg company, his home
town, and has been visiting his sister,
Mrs Gene Ford.
The other relic named is in the
hands of Harold Yelick, and was also
picked up on the Scissors front. 1t is
German '.uger automatic pistol At
the mouth Of dugout lay three dead
Germans; one of them was lienten-
ant. Near his outstreched arm lay
this pisto.a Mr.. Yelick picked it up
and was successful in bringing it
home VITA him, although this was a
difficult matter. The gun is a six shot
arm, but it has an attachment that
makes it veritable machine gun, CIV
ing the holder of the arm 80 shots. OF
course Buck thinks a good deal Of
the gun and we don't blame him.

MRS. REEDCOMES;;
SEES CHURCHILL

When the afternoon train arrived
from Chicago on Friday a strange
woman stepped from car and stood
looking about as if expecting to meet
a friend. After a few minutes Chief
of Police Pelton kindly asked if she
was looking for someone.
Yes, SIR" she replied.
Whom, may / ask?'
"Mr. Churchill she replied hesitat-
ingly.
Mr.. Churchill, the man who claims
to be a millionaire?"
Eyes, sir"
well, he is in jail"
'sIn jail?"
s.Yes, in jail
The woman gave her name as DR..
Julia Reed of Chicago and after visit
ing the bastile hunted up lawyer for
the purpose of getting Churchill from
behind the bars. c. e. NJ. Churchill,
it should be explained, is in jail on
several charges es-leasing or selling
land in Canada which it is thought he
does not own. Victor Johnson Of
Baraboo parted with some of his
money and a nurse in Baraboo gave
him a liberty bond. Recently he was
arrested at Chippewa Falls.
/ Mrs Reed is reticent and does not
have much to say. Churchill told be-
fore her arrival she would get him out
but up to the hour of going to press
failed to produce enough cash to
satisfy the authorities before giving
him his liberty.
Mr. and Mrs. julius Kroll of Reeds
burg were also in Baraboo on Friday
to see what might be done to get
Churchill into free ozone again. While
here it came to light the Krolls have
parted with about 1920, Churchill
walking away with the cash it is
alleged. They would like their money
back as well as seeing Churchill out
of jail They have sort of an agree
ment but one that is worthless on the
eyes of any court.
Churchill claims he has so acres,
section 21, range H. town Of Washing
ton, Cook county, ILL., Justice Halsted,
to satisfy some of those who believe
in Churchill, has written 20 Cook

ALUMNI BANQUET
WARREN HOUSE
FRIDAY EVENING
Plates Set for III Alumni and Re-
cent Graduates of the Class of
1919---Omcers Elected

At the Warren hotel Friday evening
at $50 1T alumni and recent gradu-
ates of the high school partook of the
annual banquet given by the almunl
association The dining room and
lobby were prettily decorated in ferns
and flowers and delicious supper was
served to the guests.
At the close of the supper a question
arose as to whether the alumni should
continue to give the annual banquet to
the graduates. The association has
been given very little support by the
members of the alumni, and it is hard
to put on banquet if everyone is not
behind it. A. G. Kingsford, Miss Leora
Lewis, William Rowland and Miss
Leila Johnson all gave talks concern
ing this measure. No conclusion was
reached.
Attorney J. w Frenz acted as toast
master for the occasion, and among
the speakers were Norman Quale and
A. c. Kingsford A very pretty selec-
tion was sung and played by Misses
Martha Newman, Dorothy Davenport
and Eleanor Weed.
New officers were elected for the
succeeding year: President, Ernest A.
Isenberg; vice-president, Miss Georgi-
ana McFetridge; secretary, Miss Els
telle Barrett; treasurer, Joseph L. Si-
berz.
After the program the guests re,
paired to the high school and danced
until midnight.
