The Hesler Murder,

Since our last issue few additional
facts have been learned concerning
Fenner. On hearing of a certain
letter having appeared in the Evening
Wisconsin, Dist. Attorney Williams
telegraphed Immediately to the propri-
etors to forward to him said letter in
the hopes of getting better hold on
Fenner. Messrs. Cramer, Aiken &
Cramer forwarded the letter, but
could not find the envelope as it had
been thrown into their waste basket
and could not be identified. The fol-
lowing is copy of the letter rer6attm

The steel rails and logging engine
for the new railroad running northwest
from Vesper, have come and are be-
ing hauled to Sherry, Jerry & Co.'S
saw mill. at Vesper. The company
have built four miles of road from
their saw mill to the extreme north
west point of their pine lands, to be
used as a logging road. This logging
engine is named Henry Sherry, and
is to be operated on this line. The
contemplated railroad from Centralia
to Vesper, if built, will connect with
this line at Vesper.

The boys are INDUCING in more or
less sport each day and the latest was
the joke perpetrated by D. W. Comp
ton and Billy Edwards. The report
was circulated Monday that change
of post masters was soon to take place
that D. w. Compton was to succeed
the present officer, and that the
Office was going to be re-
moved to Edwards store, that D. W.
Compton had the proper papers and
had shown them to Mayor Cole. This
story circulated with lightning rapid
ity and was being swallowed for the
truth. On hearing the yarn we inter-
viewed Mr., G. and he began laughing
saying "any one who is foolish enough
to believe such yarn as that should
be sent to the insane asylum and he
laughed again more heartily than
before.

During our brief stay at Marshfel
last week we found the Upham Co.
doing an enormous mercantile and
lumber business, and learned they had
put in about 100000 of logs thus
far, with fair prospects of doing much
more. This company carry along a
large number of the farmers of that
vicinity and many artisans of the vii
lase by advancing them goods and
credit. The company is of inestima-
bic value to the village of Marsh
field and is so conceded by most ev-
eryone there. We have learned more
recently that the name is to be chang
ed to the "Upham Manufacturing
CO." with W. H. Upham as President.
The printing Offices We found in pleas
ant quarters and the boys busy doing
Job work. At the Times office.
Charles new type glistened in the
cases like so many diamonds. He is
doing nice business and is contented.
We noticed he has added the name of
f. S. kirkland to his staff. At the
law Office of A. E. Deming we ex-
changed jokes with Mr.. D. and attor-
ney Mcmillan who dropped in while
we were present. The boys are fine
fellows to be with and will make re-
cords for themselves that are desirable
to have in their profession. At tea
time we called at Geo. ingalls, pop
ular restaurant for something to eat
and quarters for the night. Mr.. In
gals is conducting first class house,
one that person can feel is clearly
and in which victuals are served tempt
ingly. Our stay in Mansfield was
brief but pleasant. The village has
about all the mercantile houses it can
support for the present tho it lacks a
tailoring establishment. The princi-
pal topic which interests the people
at present is whether TO incorporate
or not. A bill has been introduced in
the legislature by Assemblyman Gar
dner to incorporate the village and is
accompanied by petition OF 1917
names including the heaviest tax-pay-
ers Of the town.

The libel suit of Bridget Green
against Mrs. Hulda SLIDER, which was
tried at the Decer4ber term Of court
and a judgment of $500 given in ia
vor of the plaintiff, has been settled
this week for $3.50. Mr.. Geo. L.
Williams was attorney for Miss Green
and JOS W. Cochran for Mrs. SLIDER.
Mr.. Williams offered to settle the case
a few days before the trial for 1925
rather than go to trial but the
defense offered only 500. The
advice of the defendants attorney has
cost Mr.. SLIDER over $500. It is al
ways cheaper to settle suit if pos
sible rather than resort to the law.

of Sheriff McCamley. The boys re-
turned homo Tuesday night but did
not get any further clue.
The reader will observe that the
above letter is dated February 4,
1888, while the murder was committed
January Is or 10, and Fenner was
arrested on Monday the 18th Of Feb
ruary and brought to this city on the
18th. The letter has been compared
with writing in pass book taken from
Fenner at the time Of his arrest and
there is a striking resemblance be-
tween the two, in fact his dates are
written exactly the same.
On Fenner's hearing that the
blanket and quilt were found he i'm
mediately requested sheriff McCamley
to telegraph to his father and attorney
Cox to come right away. Attorney
Cox answered the telegram in person
Wednesday morning.
Fenner is low spirited much of the
time, and refuses to say anything upon
tie subject of the murder.
Messrs. VIM. Scott and Lon Gordon
two surveyors of this place and per-
haps the best woodsmen in the north
west, started yesterday morning for
the woods where the murder is sup
posed to have been committed, to try
their luck in unraveling the mystery.
A terrible feeling has been aroused
in this case and it seems to augment
as time passes on. A reward of $3.50
is offered for the recovery of the body.
