NAB IL FOR PLAYING
BASEBALL ON SUNDAY

DODGEVILLE, Wis.-The Wiscon-
sin "blue" law, which has rested on

since 1849, took it's first toll of the
season here Friday when five players
and six officers Of the Dodgeville base
ball club were arrested charged with
conspiring to violate the Sunday OBJ
servance statute by playing baseball
last Sunday. Members of the Dodge
vile Law and Order League caused
the arrests. They were the object of
considerable public hostility follow
ing the serving of the warrants on
players and officers of the ball club,
but pushed their charges, which sub
ject the men to $40 fines if convicted.

sist that they will continue to play
Sunday ball in spite of the law pro-

ESCALIER AkINS
TO AGAIN CLIMB
COURT HOUSE
Thrilling Act to Be Put
on Here Twice Week
of Grant Co. Fair

Escalier Edw. Atkins, the Dubuque
Human Fly" and high trapeze work
er, was in Lancaster Saturday ar
ranging for some more exhibition
work in this city.
Mr.. Atkins was induced to hold off
his sensational and thrilling escalade
or scaling of the court house walls
until the week of the Lancaster fair
when he will climb the big building
without any aid but his iron muscles
and bare hands, two times, Thursday
and Friday.
This act was put on here last sum-
mer and proved to be the biggest
thing seen in Lancaster in years. Mr..
Atkins scaled the walls like spider,
climbing to the cornice where he
swung himself up and over and
thence with a bound to the tower
where he assembled the topmost spire.
The same thrilling feat will be re-
peated twice next month for those
who failed to see it the last time.
Mr. Atkins is modest and intelli-
gent young athlete who lives an eX-
emplary life to keep himself in con-
dition. He neither smokes, chews or
drinks and his conduct and manner
is an example for other young men.
He resides in Dubuque with his moth
err and two brothers.

Coal Situation
In City Yards

Local coal dealers are meeting the
shortage and heavy demand with as
much cheerfulness and diplomacy as
possible. Orders pour in from all
sides now that people have become
worried over the prospect although in
the spring and early summer plenty
Of good hard coal lay in the local bins
with no takers Now it is all gone
and the bins are bare except for a
few screenings.
Dealers think that in month coal
will be moving into Wisconsin and
that they can then gradually begin to
fill orders. Newspaper advices Fri
day stated that shipment of half a
million tons would be made from the
eastern fields next week and a large
part OF this will come down the lakes
to Wisconsin.
In general the dealers ask the pub
lie to be patient and to refrain from
becoming 'panicky." Each applicant
will be given coal enough to tide him
along but the policy of filling one bin
clear full while others go empty, will
be strictly discouraged. In other
words the dealers feel justified from
a standpoint of public welfare Of re-
fusing to fill an order where the ap-
plicant has from two to ten tons or
more in his cellar.

TRACK WORKER
FINDS SHRINE
ERECTEDIN1
Relic of Colonial DAYS
Found on Bluff South
of Potosi Station

William Jemmerson, Burlington
section hand working under Foreman
Frank Diedrich between Potosi and
E. Dubuque, made the unique and
startling find of a shrine of the Bless
ed Virgin, two miles south of Blake
station, last week. The shrine has
been visited by hundreds since the
find
Jemmerson, in search of cold water,
sought the bluff, few feet from the
railroad tracks, where a spring
trickled down over moss. He pulled
the moss aside to enable him to put
his cup under the stream. AS he did
so he noticed an opening and some
thing white inside. He tore away
more moss and his eyes rested upon
a beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary.
1t is said that with the shrine was
a leather pouch and that in this pouch
was a letter written in French. The
figures "1786', could be made out.
The pouch and the epistle crumbled
to dust before it could be translated
The workmen took steps at once to
protect the Importance of their find
by setting the image on cement base
and then installing iron bars to pro-
CCCC IL II Oil IIOIGSIluS uduuS. 1T can
now be seen but cannot be removed.
The point where the shrine exists
is two miles north of Rutledge cross
ing. 1t is possible to motor to Rut-
ledge and walk up the tracks two
miles to the shrine. Since its discov-
cry hundreds have done this.
The natural conjecture around the
origin of the shrine brings to mind
that at the time of it's placing, prob
ably 1876 years ago, the only white
men travelling this region were
French voyageurs. 1t is considered
probable that the shrine was placed
as token of reverence by some mis-
sionary able of the French govern
ment, even though the region at that
time had passed into the hands of
England.
Regardless Of the imaginative side
of the find the shrine exists and has
been photographed. The image of
the mother of Jesus stands in a niche
carved by human hands years ago
and is today viewed by many visitors.

Knapp Clans
Have Picnic

A notified crowd of young and old,
the majority of whom were strangers
but relatives, gathered at Schriener's
Park, last Thursday, August II, for
a Knapp reunion. 1t is the first Knapp
picnic which has been held and the
descendants of Conrad and Mary
Knapp, who came to this country in
1916 from Germany, felt that it was
time to get acquainted. About 140
were present, but more were absent,
which we discovered, when, at the
reading of the history the numbers
in each generation were given. In the
first generation, two; the second, 8;
the third, 62; the fourth, IT'S; the
fifth and sixth were present but had
not been counted.
Every generation beginning with
the third represented was represented
but many of them are scattered
throughout the United States. No di-
rect descendant of the Knapp family
is living, but the wife of Jasper
Knapp, who is the only one left was
able to be present.
The chief events of the day were
the picnic; reading of the family his
tory, which had been gathered from
word of mouth; and the decision to
make the event an annual one. The
rest of the day was spent in getting
acquainted, which was a job as large
as any ordinary person would want
to attempt.
