Another death has been added to
the long list already noticed. This
time the messenger of death has sum
moned home Mr John Rablin Jr. who
was stricken with paralysis some time
ago at Eland Junction where he was
engaged in the mercantile trade. He
was soon afterwards removed to the
home of his parents in this city. The
physicians and his relatives worked
over him necessarily for several weeks
but though he rallied at times it was
only temporary He breathed his last

to abandon to him their lands. Actual
residents who would not be his plant
tools held their lands and their rights
only by constant struggle. The
rights of electors was ignored and
election itself was made farce. The
vote of the town was usually sold
beforehand to ambitious candidates,
the highest bidder for cash getting the
best promises. Wood county has
long since emerged from state of
frontier rufianism. The early border
ruffian must reform or get down and
out. The new county board represent
fully the new order They will not
stand by and see men robbed and the
development of the county retarded

when the means to effectually prevent
1t is within their grasp. The good
work they have done will never be

good citizens and they could not go
back on their own record if they
would, and would not if they could.

Friday night last the store of n.
johnson & Co., Centrala, was broken
into and burglarized of what cash the
tills contained amounting to about $50.
No clue to the burglars was found
until this week and then only after
two stores in this city were entered.
At Parrish & Bros hardware store
they effected an entrance through a
back window. The safe was found
blown open and the change which had
been placed into it Saturday night was
missing. The amount will not ex-
coed $40. The papers found in the
safe were taken out and thrown onto
the Labreche lots south Of the build
ing, but were recovered One envel-
ope, the thieves overlooked, contained
$40 in currency and several certificates
of deposit belonging to John Clear
The safe is SO badly demolished that
the company will be obliged to pur-
chase new one. The same individuals
entered the store Of I'll. Ii. Compton
by breaking in the front door Here
they also demolished the safe aud
secured about S25 in cash. The
fellows who are charged with these
crimes are Walter Lyon formerly Of
this city but late Of Portage, and his
associate j. G. Brown, the son Of a
shoe merchant Of Portage. They had
been boarding ct the Central House
for several days the past week and
claimed they were laying off for rest.
While at the hotel red railroad car
seal was noticed in their possession
which was afterwards found at Comp.
tons store. They also departed on the
early freight Of the Green Bay road
the morning of the burglary. Sheriff
McCamley telegraphed along the
several lines Of road and they were
arrested at Stevens Point They we're
searched carefully by the sheriff at
that place, but as none of the prop
erty was found upon them they were
given their freedom. There is little
doubt in the minds OF our people, but
that these boys were the thieves.
