The ball that struck Mr.. Rounds pass

He has many interesting experiences

He says it was almost impossible to
bring down flyers with ordinary guns.
The aviator was above the engine and
too well protected. The men shot at
the machines but it was waste of

FINDS HUSBAND
DEAD in BARN
Henry Teile, Resident on the New
Warner Road, Ends His Life by
Hanging

On Friday evening Mrs. Henry Teile
at their home about two miles south
of Baraboo, across the road from the
homesof Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Bonham.
Evidently he had gone up ladder,
walked along one of the timbers ten
feet or more, tied rope around the
joist and jumped to his death. A short
time before the suicide Mr.. Teile was
about, but as soon as he was missed
his wife searched for him and dis
covered the body hanging in the barn.
Neighbors were notified and the cor
oner summoned. No inquest was held.
Lee. Blackburn, undertaken, accompa
MED by Cecil Allen, went to the farm
and removed the body from the barn
to the residence.
The new Warner road will cross Mr..
Teiless farm, the land having been
purchased The price paid for the
land was about $1,000 and the deal
was highly satisfactory to Mr. and
Mrs. STeile. After the sale they talked
of moving to Baraboo and a short
time before his death he seemed to-
be in fairly good spirits He went
out, worked short time in some hay
and then went to the barn. Before
moving to the present location he
lived on the farm now owned by Mr..
and Mrs. J. l.. Bonham
The suicide was somewhat unusual
in that the man evidently jumped
from the high timber. Usually sui
cides tie rope about their neck and
a rafter ,and jump from box or other
object In this case the ascent to the
timber above was ten or fifteen feet,
then a walk along the joist and prob
ably a jump down. Death must have
come at once.
Mr. TeiIe was born in Germany
about 65 years ago and resided at Bar
aboo a number Of years. He was for
merly employed in one of the brew
cries. For some time he had been in
i'll health and not able to care for the
farm. Dependency is given as the
cause of the act.
Bes des Mrs Teile he leaves two
daughters Mrs. Jess Reel, Kirkwood,
near Baraboo, and Miss Erna Teile,
Chicago.

FALLS ASLEEP;
CAR Is DITCHED

D. M Hart of Ontario, Wis, came
near being seriously hurt recently
when touring car which he was
driving went into the ditch on ,Bron-
son avenue near the Miller residence,
east of Portage.
He and two other men were driving
Mitchell cars from the factory at Ra-
cine to Ontario, and each of the men
was plotting a new car, fresh from the
factory.
The excessive heat and the long
drive over the country roads evidently
had telling effect on Mr.. Hart, for,
it is declared as he neared the Miller
residence he fell asleep and the car
went off the highway into the ditch,
about six feet below How he escaped
being killed and the car was not
overturned and completely wrecked
is a mystery. The machine went over
a steep incline into the soft ground.
"A wrecking crew was called and the
car was pulled out Of the ditch with
one wheel broken and the fender
smashed.
Hart and his comrades continued on
their Journey to Ontario later.

MEMORIAL PARK
AT The LAKE
Effort Being Made to Garry Out the
Plan Of the Governor---Irees,
Tablet and Monument

BY one vote bill failed to pass the
senate few days ago-the measure to
establish memorial park at Devils
Lake. The idea of Governor e. L. Phil
ipp is to plant tree for every Wis
consin soldier who died during the
last war, the grove to be on the once
Claude farm There would be tablet
for each soldier and a large monument
either in the grove or on the west
bluff in honor of the heroes To carry
out the plan would mean the planting
of about 5000 trees and provision
would probably be made for manufac-
turing the tablets at Waupun, the cost
to the state being nominal. The idea
is also to change the name of the
park to one in keeping with the me-
mortal idea. Possibly different
name would be given only to the plat
of ground on which the trees are plant
ed, In case the trees were planted.
the park would be mecca for fathers,
mothers and others who lost heroes in
the war.
Lieutenant Governor E. F. Dithmar
says after the bill failed 10 pass one
of the senators who voted in the mega
tive expressed a wish to support the
idea in case the people of Baraboo
and the state desired memorial park
established. Those who are interested
should express an opinion, mailing the
letter to Lieutenant Governor Dithmar
or any member of the senate and it
will receive consideration. The mat
ter will be taken up again in a few
days.

BARABO0 VS.
PRAIRIE DU SAC

The Baraboo base ball team started
out the season Sunday at the North
Shore of Devils Lake and won from
Prairie du Sac by score of 10 to /.
The team is in fine condition this
year, now that all the old players are
back, as some of them were in the
service. Yesterday was the first base
ball many of them had played for sew
eral months and when they have
little more practice the team will be in
tip-top shape.
All the local boys were strong hit
ters Sunday in spite of Prairie du Sac's
pitcher, who tried all his latest balls.
The lineup for Baraboo was as fol-
lows: Vogel, pitcher; Cooper, catch;
Hill, first base; Stewart, second base;
Buehlow, shortstop; Curtis, third
base; Isenberg, left field; Ryan, center
field; Frenz, right field.

ROAD GOES
As PLANNED
Definitely Settled That the Warner
Highway to Devils Lake Win
Pass Through Claude Woods as
Staked Out

A message this afternoon from SEN
ator George Staudenmayer, who rep
resents Sauk and Columbia counties in
the legislature, stated that it had been
dfinitely settled at Madison this morn
ing that the Warner road to Devils
Lake would go through as staked out.
A joint meeting of the state con-
servation commission and state high
way commission was held this morn
ing at which L. w. Claude spoke for
twenty minutes in protest against the
proposed route, but to no avail, and it
is believed the final decision has been
made.
The route selected has been ap-
proved by both the state conservation
commission and state highway COM
mission, the city engineer of Baraboo,
the governor, lieutenant governor, the
people Of Baraboo town and city, and
practically everyone familiar with the
local conditions.

BAND PLAYED
AT MIDNIGHT


On Monday night at midnight the
band at Sank City came out and play
ed Home, Sweet Home" at the wake
of John Barleycorn. A Baraboo citizen
who visited the village reports two or
three dozen men were lying in the
alleys dead to the world. All of the
booze at Lodde's mill was guzzled and
Sank City was next attacked. The
stock of wet goods in the lower vii
lage was so large, however, those who
gathered there could not swallow it
all. A few gallons have been saved
to be used in ..tapering off," At mid
night at Prairie du Sac there was
scarcely a soul on the street and there
was evidently little regret that booze
had gone forever.

LAKE WISCONSIN GREAT PLACE
FOR BASS FISHERMEN NOW

Lake Wisconsin south of Portage is
a great place for bass fishermen, say
Wayne Jessup and Arnold Schultz,
two Portage young men, who made
Thursday the prize catch of the sea-
son.
They landed thirteen black bass
that averaged three pounds each
Four \ Iof the bass Weighed tour
pounds apiece.
Besides the bass they caught a
channel catfish that weighed SIX
pounds, and two large pickerel. The
catch was made in less than two
hours. The fishermen came into a
school of dogfish minnows which the
bass were after and they wisely threw
their artificial bait among the min
nows and the bass went after it ike
the Yanks went into the Hindenburg
line.-Portage Register.

SOLDIER OUTING
PLEASANT AFFAIR

that was given the returned soldier
boys on Sunday by the business men
of Baraboo was a pleasant affair and
seemed to be greatly enjoyed by all
who could CO. Automobiles were fur
|nished and about fifty cars loaded with
soldiers and others left Baraboo dur
ing the late afternoon for Kilbourn.
There the big steamer Apollo had been
chartered and about 6 o'clock the de-
boat was well filed and, with clear
sky and balmy breeze, those on board
could not have had more appropri-
ate day
A landing was made short dis
tance above Stand Rock, where big
bluff towers high out of the river, and
on the sloping banks of which the oc-
cupants of the steamer disembarked
From the looks of the large hampers
that were first unloaded from the boat
it was evident that the commissary
had not been idle and it
was not long before all were indulg ng
in fine picnic supper. The return
trip down the river was another de-
light, and before o'clock Kilbourn
was reached and the autos were ram
bling along toward home.
The committee who had the whole
affair in charge evidently worked dill
gently to make the trip success, and
it is needless to say the soldier boys
appreciated the outing.
Side Lights on the Day
Senator George Staudenmayer of
Portage was among the number that
enjoyed the trip up the river. His
son who was wounded and saw hard
service recently returned from over
seas. |
The boys of Company (Baraboo's
own company stuck pretty close to
one another during the day, and some
of them, probably remembering their
experience on the Tuscania, jokingly
provided themselves with life preserv-
ers while the ship Apollo was going
up the river.
X i: Is
The water IN the Wisconsin is, un-
usually high and the whirlpools more
treacherous looking than ever. At the
NarroWs the current is so swift that
at the bend of the river the big boat
stopped and was poIled into its correct
course.
-. ~ AZ
The guests at the various resorts
along the banks of the stream and the
all poured forth to the edge
Of the river to wave a welcome to the
soldier boys as the craft glided up and
back on the trip, and some tried to get
a snapshot with camera, running
along the shore to reach point of
vantage.
The music of the band throughout
the boat trip and the singing of Daniel
Roberts was much enjoyed by all.
Many of the boys joined in the songs.
* * *
Near the point where supper was
served are four graves, the plat of
ground enclosed by small iron fence.
Here lie the remains of the Dupless
family. evidently very early settlers
in that locality, for the dates of two
of the deaths on the tombstone are
given as 1850 and 1869.

During the outing some of the sol
der boys swapped stories of the war
participation in the world war. They
also INDUCED in some of the war songs
they learned while abroad.
