Chicago. Delicious refreshments
followed at the conclusion of the
games.
On account of the rain and sleet,
leaking insulators at the high vol
tage station near the high bridge
caused some of the insulators to
burn ont with a display as of fire
works last night. Baraboo was
fortunate in escaping the worst OF
the storm and by keeping work
men on the job throughout the
night, such damage as was done
was soon reetifed. The electri-
cal display from the burned insula-
tors could be seen from a great dis
lance.
Mrs. A. Rodewald has returned
from West Allis,. where she went
several weeks with her dauhgter,
Mrs. w. B. Herzeberg. Mrs.
Herzeberg underwent a serious op
Grafton and while she is slowly
improving, she is still in the hos
pitaI.
Dr. E. r. Perkins, painless ex-
tractor of teeth who visits Bara-
boo occasionally, was in the city
today. DR.. Perkins was in a SER
fous automobile accident at Rock
ford, I'll. last week, his Hudson
car skidding and after making all
sorts of twists and turns shoot
ing over a fifteen foot embankment
The top of the machine was wreck
ed, but after obtaining a few new
wheels, DR.. Perkins was able to
continue to Madison, the engine
of the automobile being entirely
unchanged in the accident. Mr..
Perkins was fortunate in escaping
with but minor injuries.
MFR. and Mrs. E. B. Trimpey mo-
tored to Portage and points in that
vicinity Sunday. Mr.. Trimpey saw
a rather amusing, sight which caus-
ed him to remark that along the
Portage road, horses are pastured
on the east side of the highway
while ears are pastured on the
west. An automobile containing
a crowd of young people had slip
ped from the road, neatly cleared
a deep hitch, climbed through a
fence and come to rest in a muddy
field. The young people were gaily
attempting to push the mired car
out of the mud which reached to
the hubs and the machine was evil
IDENTIFY unhurt since it was able to
rum under it's own power, with some
assistance. Drivers report the roads
exceptionally slippery yesterday,
due to the rainfall, and the condi-
ton of the highway was doubtless
responsible for the "pastured" car.
J. III. Scheible returned from
Evansville yesterday having mo-
! tored to that place on Saturday, ac-
companying the remains of Ralph
Blunt there for burial Mr.. Scheible
reports that the dense fog made
driving exceedingly dangerous. The
fog was encountered on Saturday
morning at the foot of the bluff
south of Baraboo and from them
on it was necessary to use lights
| for driving and to exercise the ut
most caution since the driver could
see but few feet ahead of his
machine. After Evansville was
reached, all of the drivers of the
cars in the funeral procession
| found it necessary to use their
lights, so dark and dense was the
| fog. Mr.. Scheible reports that it
was sometimes difficult to breathe
so oppressive was the atmosphere.
Howard Andrews of Delton, who
was seriously injured at the Timme
mill few days ago, is reported as
| getting along nicely at st. Mary's
Ringing hospital today Mr.. An
drews was caught in a belt at the
mill and his arms and shoulders
we're broken and crushed.
Mrs. John Stadler entertained
several ladies at her home, 103
! Eighth street, this afternoon in
honor of the ninetieth birthday Of
her mother, Mrs. Olive Claus. The
venerable lady is in fairly good
health and was able to enjoy her
birthday party very much. The
remembrance of her friends, con-
sisting of gifts, flowers, and mes
sages of greeting were source Of
much happiness to her. After a
delightful social afternoon, a dainty
lunch was served.
