Mr. John Sweeney, eldest son of Mr.
Michael Sweeney of this city, died at
his late residence in Portage Sunday
morning. Death was due to diabetes.
He was reared in Watertown and en
gaged in railroad work when a young
man, having filled the position of
brakeman, switchman and freight
conductor on the Milwaukee road for
many years. He was about 52 years
of age and is survived by his widow
and one son. The funeral will take
place at Portage Tuesday morning.
Mr. Sweeney had many friends in
Watertown who will be sorry to
learn of his death.
Word was received here today of
the death at Chicago of Mrs. Mary
McMahon, widow of the late James
McMahon of this city. She had been
in failing health for sometime and
her death was not unexpected. She
passed away Sunday evening at the
age of 73 years, her death occurring
on her birthday anniversary. She
was a former resident of Watertown,
removing from here about twenty
years ago. For many yerrs the fam
ily resided in the Milford road, later
removing to Washington street. Mrs.
McMahon possessed a large acquaint
ance in this vicinity, having been one
of the early day residents, and her
death will be learned with sorrow by
her many friends of former days in
Watertown. Surviving her are four
children: Mrs. Albert Flanr.agan.
Miss May McMahon. William McMa
hon, Chicago; Mrs. T. J. Flemming,
Milwaukee. The body will be brought
to Watertown for interment on Wed
nesday afternoon over the Milwaukee

interment will be in St. Bernard’s
cemetery.
Fractured Hip
John Rogers, who resides near John
son Creek, met with an accident
sometime during last night will
confine him to bed for aw’hile to come.
He went to the station last night with
thf probable intention of taking a
trail; for home and in wandering about
he stepped off the high platform near
the freight house and suffered the
dislocation or fracture of his hip
joint. Local physicians were sum
moned and it was decided best to
have him removed to his home near
Johnson Creek and he w'as put aboard
the 10:58 train and taken to his home.
Drs. Feld and Shinnick accompanied
him and it was found that the injury
was a fracture of the hip joint.
Nearly Completed
The extension of the electric inter
urban railroad from Montgomery
street west to the North Western de
pot, is nearing completion. The
rails have all been laid and the work
men are now engaged in putting in
the crossing at Montgomery street.
To do this it was necessary to saw r
out the steel rails already in place.
This was done by hand and was a te
dious task. Only one line was built
to the depot and it is probable that
it w r ill be in readiness to operate on
next Thursday.

TERRIBLY BEATEN
An Interurban Employe As
saulted and Left on Kail
road Track
But for the fact that a man named
August Zieger discovered him in time,
John Cizik, a Polish laborer on the
electric railroad, would have been cut
into pieces by the fast mail going
east at 11 o'clock. Zieger, who has
been doing odd jobs in this section,
left last night for Oconomowoc, in
tending to walk the distance on the
railroad track. When near the arched
bridge of the electric railway where
it crosses the Milwaukee road tracks
in Richard’s cut, he heard a man
groaning and upon investigation he
found Cizik lying across the rails of
the south track. He thought he W'as
hit by a train and hurried back to the
station and gave the alarm after pull
ing him off the track.
The man was removed to the emer
gency hospital where it was found
that he sustained a scalp wound evi
dently inflicted by a stick of w r ood.
and two minor scalp wounds probab
ly produced by falling on the rocky
surface of the roadway. The man
w r as lying in such a position that he
would have been cut to pieces by the
train. Dr. Moulding gave it as his
opinion that the man was assaulted
with a club as the injury could not
have been made if he was struck with
a train.
It seems that Cizik and other com
panions who work in Finnerty’s camp
No. 4, just inside the city limits,
w r ere in town yesterday, pay day, and
started for camp late at night, prob
ably about 10 o’clock. Cizik returned
to secure some matches and w 7 as
probably alone when the assault was
made. He had the sum of $16.50 on
his person when he came into town
but nothing w r as found of the amount
after buying some articles and some
whisky, and the pocketbook was not
in evidence wdien searched. He had
several packages of tobacco, some ci
garette papers and a full bottle of
w'hisky w r hen found, but no money.
His injuries are not considered ser
ious and he will probably be taken
back to camp soon. He does not
know wdio his assailants are and it
looks as though he w r as thrown across
the rails after the assault and robbery
to hide the crime.
A Former Resident Here
H. O. Basford of Austin, Minn, is in
the city and will remain until morn
ing w'hen he will go to Mihvaukee to
visit his sister, Mrs. C. P. Knight. Mr.
Basford was one of the early Water
town newspaper men, having been
employed on the Chronicle and later
the Democrat. He left here forty
years ago and most of the time has
been in the newspaper business in
Minnesota. His father, P. D. Bas
ford, was a contractor and built the
first brick house ever erected in Wa
tertown. It was situated on the left
side of Second street about two
blocks this side of the railroad track,
but Mr. Basfoi’d could not find the lo
cation today. The house served as
the family home for several years.
His father also built the first brick
store biuldiug in Watertown which he
says was on the south side of Main
street between First and Second
streets, near where Hertel & Hoff
mann’s clothing store now stands.
The family removed to Austin in
1867. At that time it looked as though
the railroad bondholders were going
to take the city and many people sold
out for what they could get and left
and with them Mr. Basford. He says
he w'ould hardly know' the city as it
is his first visit within forty years
and was agreeably surprised at the
evidence of push and energy on every
hand.
M. D. Wells Company Moving
The work of removing the M. D.
Wells shoe factory to the Woodard-

HE ASSAULTED AND
ROBBED JOHN SIZER
In Default of Bail Was Taken
to Jefferson Jail to Await
examination
A companion of John Cizik, who
was assaulted and robbed on tlie Mil
waukee road tracks in Richards cut
Monday evening, was arrested last
evening by Chief of Police H. C.
Block at Finnerty’s camp in the east
ern part of the city, where he is em
ployed by the electric road. Cizik
claims that in company with three
other men he left the city Monday
evening about 10 o’clock for the camp.
When near the overhead bridge in
Richards cut he asked one of his com
panions for a match, which was
thrown to him with a curse. He
stooped to pick up the match and that
is the last he knew until he came to
in the Emergency hospital. The man
under arrest is the one who came to
the city yesterday morning to act as
interpreter and when Chief Block vis
ited the camp later in the day sus
picion pointed to him. Another inter
preter was secured and the story of
the water boy who was with the
party at the time of the scrap indi
cates that the man under arrest
knows more of the affair than he has
so far told the police.
The man gave his name as Frank
Maradic and he was taken before Jus

o’clock. In default of bail he was
taken to the county jail at Jefferson.

THE BLUE DELL ARMY
Comparatively few people have any
idea of the size of the standing army
of employees maintained by the Bell
companies to give the people of the
United States the promptest, most
courteous, most accurate and most ex
tensive intercommunicating telephone
service in the world.
At the beginning of 1007 the forces
enrolled under the familiar badge of
the Blue Beil numbered about 00,000.
This is only 10,000 less than the maxi
mum strength which the standing
army of the United States is allowed
to reach and it is far in excess of the
present total enlisted force of 00,000.
If all the Bell telephone workers of
the United States, together with their
families and dependents, were to settle
down in one place they would make
another Milwaukee. Such a showing
proves that the Bell employes are mem
bers of one of the great industrial or
ganizations, and with a total of about
14,000,000 messages to handle daily
over some 6,000,000 miles of wire, all
are kept busy.

Adopted Resolutions Recommend
ing That the Assistant Post
masters Be Placed on the Class
ified List and Other Important.
Matters Were Considered.
A state association of assistant
postmasters was organized at Milwau
kee yesterday and S. F. Eberle of this
city was chosen vice president.
By the adoption of resolutions re
commending that assistant postmas
ters be placed on the classified civil
service list, the infant organization
inaugurated a crusade expected to
guard against unfavorable appoint
ments and removals by new postmas
ters. By a unanimous approval of all
resolutions adopted by the recent con
vention of stote postmasters, this pr
tective policy was further emphasized.
At the present time assistant post
masters are not included in the class
ified civil service list and may be re
moved at the will of the postmaster.
The executive committee will se
lect the place for the 1909 conven
tion, which probably will he at Ap

IDE LUTHERAN HOME
FOR FEEBLE MINDED
Meeting Held at Milwaukee-
Directors Chosen, Three
From Watertown
At a meeting of Lutheran represen
tatives held in Milwaukee last even
ing to consider the matter of estab
lishing the Lutheran Home for the
Feebleminded in this city, nine direc
tors were chosen, including three
from Watertown, Albert Wegemann,
William Gorder and F. W. Gamin. It
was determined that the work of
building the home in Watertown
should be started as soon as consist
ent with the progress of the move
ment which means that the initial
work will be begun at once. Another
meeting of the board will be held in
Milwaukee October 7 when definite
measures will be taken with this end
in view.
The first annual meeting of the
board of directors will be held on the
first Tuesday in February and an
nually thereafter. When the build
ing for the home is completed in this
city the directorship will he changed
so as to include six of the nine di
rectors from Watertown. The home
is at present maintained in Milwau
kee, but a site for it has been pur
chased in the Third ward on the
banks of Rock river, a short distance
above the old Boomer dam. The site
is an ideal one with healthy sur
roundings and ample room for those
entrusted to the care of the home.
The home was formerly maintained
in Watertown but through certain cir
cumstances it was necessary to re
move it to Milwaukee temporarily.
