about 80 former members are living in
the city and vicinity, and an equal num-

An Appreciation.

The passing away of Peter Taylor of
Brodhead marked the end of one of the
most remarkable men that the old Mid
die West has produced He belonged
to class of old time sportsmen that at
this day is almost extinct It is doubt
full if the country ever produced an
other such an original and unique char
acter. He was born humorist, his
gift for good natured satire and story
telling was marvellous; whether at the
hunting camp, social gatherings or the
Preside, when Pete Taylor began to
talk everybody listened. In his earlier
days his physical strength, endurance
and courage were truly marvellous. 1t
was an easy matter for him to shoulder
200 pound buck and stride off through
the forest, making it no easy task for
anyone with him to keep up. In every
thing relating to woodcraft and wild
life he had a most cousummate skill
AS an old time deer stalker, fisherman,
trap shot and all around athlete he was
unsurpassed. The writer knew him and
hunted with him many seasons in the
north woods in the long ago before the
days of roads and settlers, when condi-
tons were wild and somewhat hazard
Gus, and invariably found him the same
courteous, honorable sportsman and
gentleman.

A Good Roads Meeting at Fulton.

The regular meeting of the Fulton
Social Center on Friday evening. Jan.
n, should be of general interest to peo-
pie of this section of Rock county. 1t
will be an evening given to the discussion
roads. County Highway Commissioner
Moore will address the meeting on the
subject and general open discussion
will follow
AS there is strong undercurrent of
dissatisfaction among the people at so
much money being spent on the con-
struction of comparatively few miles
of cement roads at the almost entire
neglect of all other roads in the county,
this meeting will give an opportunity
for the people of this section of the
county to receive accurate information
and to give voice to their sentiments
regarding this subject. The hall should
be filled at this meeting. If you are
interested in having better roads in
Rock county, more and better gravel
roads than have been given us in the
past few years, come out to this meet
ing and bring your friends. This is
your opportunity. The hall will be
warm and comfortable. Everybody
come.

SCHOOL NEWS.
Wisconsin High Trims Edgerton High
25-13

Edgerton hopes for district champion
ship were set back another notch when
the fast Wisconsin High FIVE trimmed
the Edgerton High five in a one sided
affair, the final score being 25-13 in
favor of the visitors The visiting team
exhibited superior basket shooting abil-
ity and had an impregnable defense.
The majority of the spectators did
not like to have MIR Linden referee be-
cause his ability to call fouls is some
thing unusual. But before the game
was over the spectators admitted that
the game was rough and tumble fight
! University High scored first when an
| EdgertOn player made foul, and
! Stehr, their Incompatible free thrower,
upset the dope. The visitors scored
again when their forward shot from
the middle of the floor Edgerton
scored next. But the visitors kept in
the lead until few minutes before the
; first half when Edgerton was one point
behind. The first half ended 1913 with
Edgerton on the wrong end. In the
second half the game was quite one
sided. The big men from Madison had
a great advantage over their smaller
opponents as they tossed the ball over
their heads, scoring almost at will.
The final score was 25-13 in Wiscon-
sin Highs favor Stehr and Holzworth
starred for University High, both hav-
ing good eye for the basket Wes-
colt was the one bright spot of the
local aggregation, getting three field
goals from long range. Kenneth Had
den, a regular player, was able to play
only short time because of the weak
ened condition of his knee The people
who saw this game admitted that the
better team probably won. University
High Schools team is without doubt
the fastest team that has appeared on
the local floor in many moon.
Mr.. Dame and Mr.. Stocum spent the
week end in Madison.
| The basketball team will go to Mil
ton junction Saturday night to play the
team representing Union high school.
The second teams of the two schools
will also play. A large squad of root
ers plans to accompany the team.

furnished by the occurrence near st
Noise, Quebec, in which all the other
cars of an express train and also the
locomotite were derailed and piled into
the ditch, leaving the steel sleeping
ears upright on the rails and their &c.
cupants uniniured. No doubt the escape
of the steel sleeping cars from wrecking
was due in part to the position Of the
cars ats the rear end of the express
train but it is also probable that a
measure Of the credit for the escape
must be sscribed to the weight OF the
steel cars which enabled them to with
stand the wrenehing and twisting as
the forward cars left the rails and be
came torn from the heavy cars. But
even had the steel cars been derailed
and thrown down, it is probable that
the occupants would have escaped
many OF the horrors which fell to the
lot of the occupants of the wooden
cars in the train inasmuch as their
vehicles would have retained their
shape and not been splintered. Steel
cars may be more difficult to draw but
they have many compenssting adyan-
tages.
