pie. A little niece of the family, FIVE
years of age, had been left there by

gone to Rochester to bring home a
son, crippled with infantile paralysis
who had been in the hospital for
treatment. Mrs SchoH had been out

ing allowed to play in the vicinity of
her work. Both the lady and child
returned to the house but the little
one wandered to the scene of the fire.
and picked up live Goals from the
burned out mass, which she had car
ried in little pail. The coal set fire
to the babes clothing and before the
flames could be eXtinguished the lit
tie one was so badly burned that
death ensued in about two hours The
funeral was held Monday and during
the absence of most of the members
Of the household in attendance upon
the same, a tot two years Of age
secured a bottle of fOrmaIdehyde
which had been used about the house
after the death of the little girl, and
died in a short time from the effects
Of inhaling the fumes from the bot

ANGRY WATERS TERRIFY
RIVER TOWN JEWELLERS

Secure from everything but cy.
clones) 400 feet above the river, Lam
caster dwellers will find it difficult
TO conceive the alarm felt by people
living in the cities and villages along
the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers.
The past week has been one OF
anxiety for river people with tie
waters far past the line ordinarily
considered as flood" stage.
At Dubuque, below the Eagle Point
bridge, the residence, mill and fac
tory district has been flooded with
homes submerged and water sweep
ing unchecked over the deserted fac
tory and Office floors.
The new fill from the Q. tracks to
the Eagle Point bridge on the Wis
consin side. $500 feet long, % feet
high and IS feet wide at the top, has
had a severe test with the water three
feet of the top.
The fill is made Of sand and mud
with a riprap of rock and willows.
County Highway Commissioner Mink
said Saturday that the fill would
stand, barring damage done by wind
pressure on the water and resultant
waves, if the water does not rise TO-
unprecedent heights and sweep over
the fill The highest point on record
is p feet above low water mark The
fill being 23.8 feet high it should be
wei! above any possible chance of be-
ing flooded. A slight cave-in around
the cement abutments of the Eagle
Point bridge head, was filled with
rock Saturday
At Pra du Chen the 4th ward is
under water and the residents have
moved to the upper floors. The
water is rarely more than a few
inches deep in the lower floor dwell
ing rooms and no alarm is felt.
Reports up the Wisconsin river
valley state that train service has
been hampered and in some cases
suspended. The toll bridge at Bridge
port, over the Wisconsin, was closed
to traffic last week as the swift cur
rent on the Wisconsin side washed
away the fill in some places. BY Sat
urday travel had resumed.

Southwestern Wisconsin baseball
fans are coming out of their winter
apathy in good shape and baseball,
the national pastime, is rapidly be-
coming the main topic of discussion
around the lettering places.
Lancaster, with a record of % wins
out of % games played last season,
is slowly rounding up a team that
will stand the test and hold local
laurels The main idea seems to be
to select strong battery as a first
qualification and follow up with the
various in and Outield posts.
Last seasons losing streak took
place before August with wonderful
record of wins for the latter season.
The team fathers are profiting by last
years experimenting and will use no
hasty judgment. The Lancaster team
this year will be a free lance Organi-
cation, taking on all Corners provid-
ing they are big enough and fast
enough. With it's fine record the
town can afford to sit back and be
choicy about selecting contenders.
Muscoda has the usual attack of
baseballitis and the sick ones there
will not recover until their team gets
into action and they can whoOp the
disease out of their systems. John
LaIailies of Madison will do the
twirling for the MuscOda boys this
year. Ray Shipley of BOscObel has
been secured as a utility player and
emergency pitcher. He sings a wick
ed stick The Muscoda team has
good lineup and has begun practice.
Viroqua's team this year will be
managed under American Legion au-
spices. Nearly all the players are
legion men. The team will be nom
salaried and without imported play
ers. The Viroqua diamond has been
gone over and games start about the
middle of May.
PlattevilIe swung back into line
last week with an enthusiastic meet
ing at the New Park hotel. Jack
Tracy was elected president and DR..
Verne Edwards, secretary and treas
urer $500 was put up to start with
and further subscriptions will be So
licited. The team has already select
ed GerlOch, catcher, Noble, pitcher,
and Jacqua, second base.
Jack Gerloch of Shullsburg, star
catch for the Shullsburg boys last
summer, has been signed up with
PlatteviIle for the coming year Mr..
Gerloch is handy with the stick and
a good diamond general.
Jimmie Dodge, who pitched excel
lent ball for Lancaster last year, is
now travelling for the Teckemeyer
Candy Co., of Madison. Jimmie wants
to pitch ball in this section next year
and may connect up with Lancaster.
Dodge is popular here and the fans
have hopes.
The Dubuque Ford Motors landed
Carl Young, third sacker for Lancas-
ter last year. The Motors have sent
out word to the small towns that they
want engagement Last season the
Motors as base ball players were eX-
cellent building scalers, the big end

cension of the Grant county court
house by one of their number after
they had played ridiculous c0W-pas-
ture ball that afternoon. The Motors,
however, say they have real team
now and ask for revenge. They may
get it.
Local fans have asked the Herald
if the paper will cover the base ball
news this year. Most assuredly. The
foregoing is starter.
