FARMERS LLLVATOR
AT RICHWOOD, WIS
CAME VERY NEAR BEING DE
STROYED BY FIRE
Supposed to Have Caught From
Sparks From Passing Locomo
tive-Saved By Citizens and a
Bucket Brigade, Loss Was Light
—A False Alarm.
Fire which threatened at one time
to destroy the Farmers’ Elevator
company elevator at Richwood Sat
urday afternoon, was gotten under
control after a lively battle with the
element by residents of the village.
The fire caught in the roof supposed
ly from a passing locomotive and
gained considerable headway before
discovered. When the villagers start
ed to fight the fire from the interior
by passing water onto the roof in
buckets they found the upper inter
ior full of smoke and it was neces
sary to break windows before the
men could stand it. Water was then
passed up in buckets and dashed on
to the roof, which had been burned
through as well as a portion of the
cornice.
The amount of damage done to the
building is not known at present, hut
it will probably be a nominal amount.
On previous occurrences when set
afire by sparks it has been in the day
time luckily and has been extinguish
ed without any great damage.
A false alarm of fire turned in
from box 13, corner Fifth and Dodge
streets, Saturday evening at 11:30
o’clock called out the fire department
which responded promptly. There is
no clue to the person turning in the
alarm.

VISITED AT MADISON
Judiciary Committee and City En
gineer Inspect Trolley Poles
John Strauss and Dr. T. F. Shin
nick of the judiciary committee of
the city council, and City Engineer
Arnold Kraeft went to Madison this
morning to inspect the system of at
taching the electric trolley to poles in
the capital city. They returned this
afternoon. One of the gentlemen
stated that in many places there they
run support wires from the iron poles
to wooden poles which made the
street unsightly, but that where iron
poles were in use on the street alone
without any other poles they pre
sented a pretty good sight.
Something should be done in the
matter of settling the pole controver
sy in Main and West Main streets so
the work on the electric line will not
be delayed too long.
Will Close Down
The West Road butter and cheese
factory, situated about four miles
west of Watertown on the west road,
will close on July 20. The present
patrons it is said, wull haul the milk

Van Camp people at the beginning
of the year and as the milk supply at
the cheese factory declined, it was
decided to close down.

VISITS OUR CITY
HUSBAND. WIFE AND CHIL
DREN —HUSBAND ILL
Russians Homeless and Penniless
Seek Shelter at City Jail—Re
ceived Aid to Reach their Des
tination—They Were Enroute to
Madison to Seek Help.
Crouching on a bench in front of
the city hall last evening, with a bas
ket of clothing for the babies, and
homeless, penniless and without
friends, Morris Jacobson and his fam
ily awaited the appearance of the
city police to give them shelter for
the night. They reached the city
during the early morning hours and
after taking what rest they could at
the passenger station, started out in
search of aid. They were Russian
exiles who came to Chicago three
years ago, but the husband being in
poor health, they were reduced to
the lowest extremity. They found
succor during the day from people of,
their own race, but who could not ac
commodate them further.
When seen at the police station
they were the picture of want and
privation. The husband was sick, the
mother showed the trials and strain
of keeping her offspring from want.
The little baby at her breast, and the
little toddler, barely three years old,
nestled closely as the police officer
made inquiries. They were on their
way to Madison, where a friend of
former days in their native land
wrote them that they might succeed
to a living.
Ragpickers they were in Chicago
from the time they left Russia, but
none the less they were human and
the human bond of sympathy was not
broken in this case. They were
cared for and were sent on their way
this morning. The mother was in a
pitiable shape; her attire was little
better than a calico makeshift, but
the maternal instinct was present
and the instinct of the wild young
for protection could be no more evi
denced than the clinging of the ba
bies to the only one on earth who
could succor them. It was a sad sight
and left its impress upon those who
saw it. Strangers in a strange land,
without home, money or friends.
HOMES ARE OPENED
FOR 25 CHILDREN
CHICAGO BUREAU OF CHARI
TIES TO SEND CHILDREN
Will Be Cared for By Good People
of Watertown for Two Weeks—
Miss Kopp Will Look After the
Children—Will Arrive July 24th.
Returning on August 7th.
Watertown citizens will harbor for
two weeks children from the crowded
sections of Chicago, to give them a
taste of country life, which probably
most of them have never • seen, the
only thing approaching it being the
city parks, but surrounded by the
noise and glare of the city streets.
The initiative was taken about two
weeks ago when a representative of
the bureau of charities visited the
city to enlist the sympathies of the
people. Miss Ida Kopp of this city
consented to act as the local repre
sentative and yesterday sent a list of
names to the Chicago bureau stating
that twenty-five children would be
cared for here. This is a good be
ginning and will probably be added
to next year. The children are be
tween the ages of 8 and 12 years of
either sex, as the invitation extended
calls for, and will be selected, in
spected and attended to the Water
town station on July 24 over the Mil
waukee road at 3 p. m. Here they
will be distributed to the people who
invited them and will remain two
weeks, returning to the depot for the
2:24 train August 7.
This good work is made possible by
the donations from the Chicago Daily
News fresh air fund, the bureau of
charities, and other donations, and
the fact that the railroads carry the
children free of charge both ways.
While a work of charity it gives the
sense of having done a little more
than bare charity, as it opens the
homes to many who know not the
environments of comfortable homes,
with a vista of green fields and grow
ing grain and nature’s great labora
tory of animal and vegetable life.
Spends Vacation Here
E. J. Hahn of Marshfield arrived in
the city last evening for a brief va
cation from his duties as clerk of
the municipal court at that place. He
is a former Watertown boy, who is
making good in northern Wisconsin
and all his old schoolmates and
friends here are pleased to greet him.
An incident of his vacation is that he
will be the host of a number of little
folks at Perry's woods, Pipersville,
for 1 a week. His nieces and nephews,
children of Attorney O. C. Hahn and
C. A. Feisst, will partake of his hos

days amidst the scenes of her earlier
life and friends. She says she has

CHANGE FRANCHISE
THE INTERURBAN COMPANY
MUST ADHERE CLOSELY
Company Asked Change to Per
mit of Iron Poles on North Side
of Main Street and to Attach to
Electric Poles on South Side-
Other Business Transacted.
At the adjourned meeting of the
city council last night the proposed
amendment to the electric company
franchise came up for action and after
considerable debate the ordinance
was lost, the only two votes in its fa
vor being Shinnick and Strauss. Sev
eral business men were in the lobby
and spoke against any change in the
franchise. At times the debate
brought forth some rather hot re
marks which did not add much to
the harmony of the meeting.
The opposition to changing the
franchise so as to allow iron poles on
the north side of Main street and to
attach to the electric light poles on
the south side of Main street was led
by Aid. F. C. Werner and with the
exception of Aid. Strauss and Shin
nick of the judiciary committee, the
rest of the aldermen took the same
view of the matter that the company
be compelled to adhere strictly to the
terms of the franchise. Aid. Werner
stated, however, that the traction
company had done more than was ex
pected of them, but he did. not believe
it proper to grant any more conces
sions. Mr. Simmons, the master of
construction of the company explain
ed what the company wanted and
answered a number of questions pro
pounded.
F. A. Hoffmann, a Main street busi
ness man, opposed any change and
gave his reasons for it. He said
there was nothing to be gained by
any concession of this character and
there was always the danger of an
amendment to a. franchise making it
null and void and he believed this was
the object of the company in its pro
posed amendment. He referred testi
ly to the company and one of its
officials, who was present in the lobby
whom he said he saw laughing during
his address.
Ex-Mayor H. Grube said that there
were no property owners on Main
street who wanted to change the fran
chise. He alluded to the fact that he
had been offered a free ride and fare
to visit other cities to see the
condition there. As Aid. Shinnick, a
member of the judiciary committee,
had visited several places, he asked
for a retraction of the statement
which implied that the committee
was given a free outing and Mr.
Grube explained that he had not so
intended his remarks.
Ex-Mayor W. F. Voss took umbrage
at a statement by Aid. Shinnick with
respect to people interesting them
selves who paid no taxes in Main
street and directed a vitriolic attack
upon the alderman and those who
claimed they were representing the
poor people in the matter. This lat j
ter was in response to a statement
made by Aid. Shinnick that he was
representing the poorer classes in the
matter under debate. During the
course of his remarks the ex-senator
alluded to local attorneys as a set of
numbskulls alongside of the adroit
attorneys for the inter-urban com
pany. A vote was then taken, the or
dinance being lost 10 to 2.

Tells of Death of “Dick” Kunitz
The Minneapolis Tribune of July
13 has the following concerning the
death of “Dick” Kunitz, a former Wa
tertown resident:
Theo. R. Kunitz, member of the
Thirteenth Minnesota regiment, and
a general favorite among his com
rades, died Saturday at his residence,
3207 Bryant avenue south, after an
illness of five weeks. He had been
ailing for several years of a malarial
infection contracted while in the ser
vice in the Philippines. Mr. Kunitz
was born in Watertown, Wls., August
8, 1870, and in his youth learned phar
macy. He came to Minneapolis in
1896, entering the employ of the Na
tional Biscuit company. W hen the
Spanish-American war broke out he
enlisted, receiving the appointment
of company clerk, which position he

Sunday Service on N.-W. Road
The North Western Railway com
pany will install a Sunday service on
their line between Janesville and
Fond du Lac. It will not be a regu
lation passenger train but instead
will be a gasoline motor car which is
now coming into use in this country.
The car, which is said to resemble a
battleship in size, will make its ini
tial run next Sunday. It will arrive
from the south at 9:22 a. m. and go
as far north as Fond du Lac. Return
ing it will leave Watertown for
Janesville at 5:23 p. m.
This is considerably better than no
service at all and will be welcome
news to many who have occasion to
visit nearby towns on Sunday. It
was believed at one time that the
Sunday service would be discontin
ued altogether this summer.
