CAR PLUNGES DOWN HILL.

While attending the funeral of Mrs.
Frank Ashby at Burton last Sunday
afternoon, M. G. Williams of Hurri-
cane, left his large 7-passenger car
standing near the entrance to the GEM
etery. He left the motor running
though he had applied the brakes.
while attending the services at the
grave
The vibration must have loosened
the brake, anyway the car, which was
headed down slight incline, came
under motion and started down the
steep hillside. Parties rushed over to
apply the brakes but the car had gain
ed such Roadway and was gathering
such momentum that it was foolhardy
to attempt to enter, and it pIowed
down the steep bluff, uprooting trees
and tearing things up in general in
its wild descent. 1t finally landed at
the bottom just few rods from Grant
river into which it would have plung-
ed only for the fact that one of the
wheels broke and its speed was thus
checked. The car is practically a
complete wreck and it is very doubt
full if it can be put in serviceable con-
dition again. No one was in the car.

BOYDTOWN MAN HAS
PHENOMENAL DUCK

c. G. Manning and wife, who operate
the cheese factory at Boydtown, were
presented with a duck last fell by a
neighbor about to leave the country,
with instructions that the fowl fur
nish Thanksgiving feast. They de-
cided to spare the life of the duck,
however, and have had no occasion to
regret it. According to Mr.. Manning
that bird has all the hens in America
beaten a block when it comes to lay
ing, her egg producing proclivities be-
ing phenomenal. Since April LIST she
has shelled out over 100 eggs, some
days dropping two. A setting of her
output was placed in charge of moth
erly Plymouth Rock hen and dandy
brood was brought forth. The old
duck, the hen and her adopted family
and tame mallard that has been per-
fectly at home at the Manning place
for a year, composed curious con-
signment sent by express to Richland
Center Saturday. The Manning quar-
tiers are rather close to the highway
at Boydtown and young ducks have
barely escaped premature ending on
several occasions when an auto bore
down upon them. Over in Richland
county a safer retreat will be prOvid-
ed for the mixed group at the farm
home of Manning kin.-Boscobel Dial.

GRANT COUNTY FIRST
IN DOMESDAY BOOK.

The plat of the township of Castle
Rock in Grant county is the first town
ship plat completed for the Wisconsin
Domesday book, which the Wisconsin
State Historical society is preparing to
publish. The Castle Rock plat. which
has just been made, contains the
names OF the original grantees of land
and surveyors notes of the native
township of DR.. Joseph Schafer, SUI
perlntendent of the Historical society.
The cooperation of the school chill
dren in gathering facts for local his
tories will be sought in the prepare
ton OF similar platS for each town
ship in the state. The plat, with the
various facts printed on it, offers the
children a definite starting point in
their local history work, is the opinion
OF DR.. Schafer, and they can go on to
the use of deeds and abstracts, using
real evidence for every step of the
process.
The cooperation of the schools in
the project for making local history
studies has been assured through the
response made by county superintend-
ents and other educational agencies.
