I Page 12 JANESVILLE DAILY GAZETTE FRIDAY, FEB. 2, im Early Whitewater Years Recounted; Dedication of Historic Oak Asked WHITEWATER Mrs. John Dorr, in presenting the program; for Wednesday night's meeting of the Whilewater Historical Society said a plaque should be placed on the burr oak on the Gerald Coxe property at W. Main and Franklin streets, and the tree dedicated in a special ceremony. She said the "territorial tree" is significant since it was a landmark in the first survey of this area by the federal government in 1S36.

Mrs. Dorr said she felt this 125th anniversary year would be sn appropriate time to dedicate the tree since Gerald Coxe is a great-prandson of Dr. and Mrs. James Trippe, early owners of 'he property. She also mentioned that the Trippes' great-granddaughter, Mrs.

S. H. Ambrose, is president of the Historical Society. Dr. and Mrs.

Trippe, she said, were "really the founders of Whitewater" for in addition to building the Old Stone Mill in 1S39. which gave the city economic life, they made many cultural and civic contribu- i tions to the city. i She said Dr. Trippe donated land tn the city for the Oak Grove Cemetery, now adjacent to! Washington Elementary School, and became the second burial' there at the age of 4S. She said that after her husband's death, Mrs.

Trippe was a prime mover in having the railroad come TO Whitewater in 1852. First Settler in 1837 Titling her talk "Whitewater, the City Today and Tomorrow," Mrs. Dorr related the city's history, which began in July 1837 when Samuel Prince, the first settler arrived. Prince staked his claim on what is now the Walt Tratt farm at the west city limits. The next arrivals, according to Mrs.

Dorr, were Norman and Freeman Pratt and their "pioneer wives." affectionately know as "Aunt Melinda" and "Aunt Jane." Crediting the Pratts with making many fine contributions to the new settlement, Mrs. Dorr expressed recret that in 1952 the city council deemed it necessary to chanze Pratt Street to Starin Road. She said that if the street had to renamed, it should have been in honor of some other early resident since Duane Starin, contrary to popular belief, did not donate the land for the citv park but was paid $700 for it. She said he donated a smaller parcel of land for the water works. Population Rose Fast Commenting that by 1858 the city, with a population of 2,000, was "considered the most prosperous city in Wisconsin," Mrs.

Dorr said it had the distinction of playing host to the first Old Set- tiers meeting and first horse show early Whitewater owned by the ever held in the state.

Most of the price losses occurred in the midweek session. The sharply lower dressed beef trade was quickly reflected in the live cattle trade. Three consecutive days of very slow trading resulted in prices that were 50 cents to $1 lower than las tweek. Supplies included numerous loads of short fed cattle with this class the slowest phase of the market. However, losses were quite general in all classes.

Cattle were carried over until the next day on both Monday and Tuesday. The losses in the dressed beef trade are mostly $1 for the first three days. Supplies of live cattle in Chicago were about 2,000 heavier than during the same time of last week. Around 35,500 were placed on sale.

(AP) A truck driver was killed and three others were missing today after a fuel truck rammed a highway bridge and turned into a ball of flames which consumed a roadside tavern. The driver was Gerald Hatton, 38, of McNabb, III.

Firemen and police searched ashes of the Blackberry Inn for traces of three persons believed to have been asleep on the second floor when the crash occurred. State police said Charles Paul Bowne, 55, owner of the tavern; his mother, Mrs. Marian Prindl, 77, and Bowne's former wife, Hilder Larson, 59, were missing. They said Hatton, whose rig had fuel oil and gasoline in tandem tanks, rammed the side of a bridge on Illinois 47 at Blackberry Creek four miles south of Elburn in Kane County. He was en route to Peru after picking up a load of gasoline and fuel oil in Chicago.

Hatton's charred body was recovered from the truck. A mass of flames burst around the wreckage as the engine fuel tank and the cargo fuel oil tank ruptured. The tavern was turned into a torch at once by intense heat of the blaze. The building was reduced to ashes. The cargo gasoline tank exploded into a new massive flare some time after the crash, ignited by original fire.

In lamb trading some early week gains were relinquished, leaving lamb prices at the week's midpoint at the same level at which they stood at the close of last week.

Zenou to Ask Cut in Sentence Zenou, convicted of first degree murder by a Walworth County Circuit Court jury March 22, 1957, has published notice here that he will apply for executive clemency about March 8. Formal notice of Zenou's appeal was sent to Circuit Judge M.

Eugene Baker, who presided at the trial, and to County Judge Erwin C. Zastrow, who was district attorney at the time of Zenou's prosecution. Judge Zastrow said that Zenou is asking the governor to reduce his sentence so he may be eligible for an earlier parole. Under the life term to which Zenou was sentenced he cannot be paroled in less than 12 years. Judge Zastrow said he has been informed that a deportation order is on file for Zenou by which he would be returned to Algiers immediately on his release from prison.

Zenou, 34 at the time he was tried here, was a native of Algeria. He met and married a Chicago girl in Canada and entered this country under her sponsorship. They quarreled while living at Delavan. Zenou went to Florida to look for work as a cabaret entertainer. When he returned to Delavan he bought a 49-cent jackknife and used it to stab his wife to death as their two small children watched.

Zenou pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The court appointed John Byrnes, Elkhorn, as defense attorney. The trial was livened by Zenou's frequent outbursts into love songs and French expletives.
