The body of John Singer arrived

overseas in 1917. He was in the 127th
regiment of the 32nd (Red Arrow di-
vision. He died of disease, while in
the service in France.
There was short service at the

ORNAMENTAL LIGHTING

There was a joint meeting of the
utilities committee and street commit
tee of the common council Monday
evening at which the matter of orna-
mental street lighting for Eighth and
Washington streets was discussed
1t was decided to recommend the
non-acceptance of the offer of the
street railway company to permit
bracket lights to be put on their iron
trolley poles along the sidewalks.
Washington street business men pres
ent urged a permanent system on in
dependent poles. Some North side men
appeared and asked that the system
be extended up North Eighth street to
Chicago street. The petitions in circu-
laton did not ask for ornamental
lighting north of Commercial street.
The matter will come up for action
at the council meeting next Monday
and the indications are that the city
will decide for the restoration of the
pre-war white way. The law permits
of special assessments against abut-
ting owners for this lighting whether
they all like it or not.

BASE BALL

Two good innings, the first and sew
enth, enabled the Waukesha club of
the Lake Shore league to win the open
ing game from Manitowoc there Sun
day afternoon by score of to 8.
The Spring city nine started out
with a jump and scored two runs in
the first inning and then put the game
away when they put four runs across
the plate in the seventh.
Brand at left field for the Wauke-
sha aggregation did some wonderful
work with the stick. lie bagged three
triples and single in four trips to
the plate.
1t was big day for the WaukeSha
fans and over three thousand turned
out to witness the opening contest of
the Shore wheel.
Sheboygan defeated Two Rivers at
Sheboygan Sunday afternoon by a
score of to 3. This was the first game

BAKERS BOOST PRICES

Going up. One wonders where it
will stop. Last week the bakers an
nounced new prices for staple goods of
their manufacture. The loaf that a
few years ago cost us a nickel was
boosted from l5 cents to 16. This is
the smallest increase. The good old
sinker of our youth has become price
less. Rolls and doughnuts jumped
from Is cents to 20 cents, and, horror
of horrors, pie, the common Ameri-
can concrete-covered pie of commerce
is quoted at 80 cents. Luckily few of
us were born in the New England pie
belt, and do not need pastry for break
fast every morning.
The bakers say that the recent ad-
vances in their supplies, principally
-four, have necesstated the increased
prices. No one of whom we have heard
has been able to reach the end of the
string of justifable increases and
reach the profteer.

SHAM HtIRESS LET OFF

The case against Mr.. and Mrs. Hal
taufderheide for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses was not prose-
cuted. The father of the mental heir
ess who made the charges was molli-
fed. Mrs. Haltaufderheide's counsel,
j. j. Healy, told the court last Friday
that the girl was herself deceived by
some confidence man who made her
believe that she was an heiress and
who never finished his game. The
young couple paid the costs, which
their two fathers split $3.50, and upon
recommendation of District Attorney
Brady, Judge Schmidt dismissed the
case They went back to Two Rivers
determined to live down their week of
the lime-lght.

MAY LOSE GUARD COMPANY

If Manitowoc can enroll thirty-three
volunteers by Saturday over the en-
rollment of last Monday the city will
have unit in the newly reorganized
Wisconsin National Guard. Otherwise
it will be unrepresented in the state
militia for the first time since shortly
after the civil war.
Heroic work is being done this week
to round up the necessary soldiers.
Ward committees and four-minute
men are at work in the manner that
became familiar in war times during
all the various drives. The boys who
were in the army are all "fed up" on
the military life and the prospect of
drill at Camp Douglas next summer is
no lure to them. They say that they
never want to see another drill.
Col. Wilbur Lee of Oconto has been
dividing his time all week between
Manitowoc and Two Rivers, where a
movement is on foot to organize
company.
The effort to raise fund to inn
prove the armory building is reported
to be successful and the company will
be assured of a respectable home if it
is organized.

MUNICIPAL COURT

f. Gauthier of Two Rivers went to
Sheboygan to see his local ball team
open the league season there.
The result of the game, or something
equally distressing, made him drown
his sorrow in the old fashioned way
and despite the federal constitution
and the air tight Volstead act he seems
to have had no insurmountable diffic-
Guilty in collecting one of the once COM
mon plain .jags. Officer Ludwig didn't
object very strongly to his driving his
car in an occasional figure eight but
when it came to making O's he remon-
strated and the driver sharply question
ed the officers authority to instruct
him in operating the car. Gauthier
spent the night in Jail and Monday
morning paid $50 and costs, totaling
S5i7S.
Jerre Saskonowski, of Two Rivers
paid $40 and costs, total $15l9, for
speeding at his home town.
A well known local man was in
court last week charged by l6 year
old girl with the commission of an act
that the law makes felony with
penalty of Imprisonment for years.
A peculiar feature was the testimony
of several physicians for the defense
that the defendant could not commit
the crime charged. The complainants
mother said she wouldn't believe her
daughter under oath. The district at
torney did not contest a motion for dis
missal and the defendant was dis
charged. The evil but common tend
ency to believe guilty every man ac-
cused of crime, even though it be up
on the testimony of one irresponsible
child or degenerate girl is evidenced in
this case and emphasizes the necessity
in all cases for reserying judgment in
the interest of justice and the good
name of a possibly innocent defendant.
Carl Kocher, owner of the Arcade on
North Sth Street, was in court for per-
mitting a boy under Is years of age to

he runs an orderly place was fined but

GIRL BRUTALLY ASSAULTED

Eleanore Herzog, 16 years old, re-
siding haif nine outside the city limits
on the Lake Shore road extension of
South 10th Street, was walking home
last Friday evening. When she had pass
ed the Schnorr box factory she was
struck on the head and felled. She
was able to cry for help and her as
sailant attempted to gag her with a
handkerchief.
Edward Lohse and companion
heard the cries and ran to her aid.
The scoundrel ran and although pursu-
ed for over a block disappeared and
could not be found. Lohse felt com
PEELED to hurry back to ascertain the
girls condition. He then accom-
panied the terrified girl to her home.
She was able to give but meager des-
cription of the brute and unfortunately
there is in consequence but little
chance of his apprehension.

SCOUTS MAY SPREAD OUT

Scout Executive Chadwick gave a
talk at the County Ministerial associa-
tion in session at Two Rivers Monday
and spoke here in the evening.
He said that Two Rivers is ripe for
a boy scout organization and that
Mishcot is receptive. He gave a thor
ough explanation of the scout move
ment and said that the success or fail
ure depends not on the executive but
on the scout leaders. There are over
200 boys in the nine local scout troops,
and ball league has been organized
and big field and track meet for
June is being arranged.
The local executive will doubtless be
permitted to assist in organizing at
Two Rivers and other places in the
county if his services are desired.
