passenger Leaps
From Train At
Lake During Night

On Sunday night a passenger
from the west was on one of the
night trains and told the conductor
he desired to stop at Devils lake.
He was told it would be necessary
to leave the train at araboo as no
stop was made at the lake. The
passenger either went to sleep and
failed to leave the train at Bara-
boo or else was determined to stop
at the lake. After the train passed
the lake station one Of the vesti-
bule doors at the end Of a car
was found open and a message
was hurried back to Baraboo. A
section crew was sent TO the scene
but all they could find were some
Paul Bunyan tracks in the gravel.
An employee of the railroad says
the train must have been going
25 to 80 miles an hour when the
leap in the dark was made. The
passenger was burdened with a
piece of baggage and must have
made the gravel fly when his heels
came down.

Guard Company
Has Machine Gun
Range Near City

The BarabooS National Guard
Company, Co. "H', 128th Inf, now
has a we'll equipped machine gun
range near st. Michael's cemetery
on the Kilbourn road. The govern
ment has leased ten acres from the
Southland farm and ON it the range
has been constructed. All firing
up to seventeen hundred yards is
done on a range of one thousand
inches. The aiming point on the
targets is constant for all distances
and the point on the target to be
hit is the point in the trajectory Of
the bullet that would pass the
projectile at a given range. The
targets are placed on a frame which
is on track. This allows the tar
gets to be pulled back and marked
without the men passing before
the machine guns. A small build
ing has been erected for the pur-
pose Of storing the equipment when
not in use. The dancing of glancing
bullets or "ricochets", has been re-
duced to a minimum by firing into
a bank as nearly as possible to
forty five degrees to the range. 1t
is anticipated that with this splen-
did equipment that many expert
machine gunners will be developed.
This National Guard unit will
entrain for Camp Douglas on July
II where they will be encamped
for two weeks. About siXty-five
men will go to camp this year.
This number is about the minimum
peace strength of such a machine
gun unit. Company I'll" is com
mand by Capt. Paul L. Stewart. The
other officers are Lieut.. Otto Arndt
and Lieut.. Robert f.. Holmes.

Another Dam
Being Planned

Surveys are being made and OPP
tions taken for a dam across the
Wisconsin River at the Honey
Creek Flats or Ferry Bluff, about
six miles south of Prairie du Sac
A low head hydro-electric plant
is being planner as only an eleven
foot dam can be erected at that
point without interfering with the
tail water of the Prairie du Sac
plant. An eleVen-foot head at
Ferry Bluff is estimated, according
to surveys, to raise the river about
four feet higher than the lowest
tail water mark at Prairie du Sac
dam.
The location of the proposed dam
is below the mouth of the Honey
Creek, which empties into the Wis
consin River just above Ferry
Bluff.
The water would back up this
creek into the Koenig's mill dis
trict and flood the marshes and
lowlands below Sank City and
create another large lake in that
district, The water would back
up to Koenig's mill and interfere
to some extent to that water power.
