IN THE LAWS GRASP.

30 he had to give three ofhclal bonds with
different sets of bondsmen, for each of the
three terms The policy of the attorney
general appears to be to commence one
suit in which he serves complaint
This will bring up the legal questions and
probably give an early decision as to the
question whether the deposit Of moneys Of
the general fund in banks, and the re;eip-
Of interest on them which is put into the
pocket Of the treasurers AZ their own per-
quisites, is lawful transaction. The treas
urers VINO have gained out Of this mode
Of investment, some 10000 per annum
for period Of some Is or 20 years, insist
that this IS right, bth in law and moc-
ais and they will, of course fight the suits
with All the talent aud industry and legal
acumen that money can Command
The attorney general will search into
the facts, in proof the suits begun Be-
fore framing his compliant he will call up
Mr. McFetridge as a witness, carefully cx-
anime him and compel him to disclose on
oath an the sums that h2 has received
from banks for interest on the public funds.
This will call for a complete disclosure on
his part. As it now stands, the attorney
general can only conjecture and estimate;
but he will soon be able to fully examine
and probe the witnesses, the banks by
.heir cashiers and book keepers and the
treasurers and their clerks, and all the
transactions will come out.
If the law, a. laid down and insisted
upon by the attorney general, Is establish
ed, it is not improbable that the state will
recover FROM the various treasurers during
the last twenty years, over half "a million
dollars The claim against McFetridge

must have yielded in the same ratio, or
slG0, 900 in all. Glenthrr held for four
years aud be could not have gained
less than 8l2O 900 in that time IIarshaw

There woud seem on common sense
principles to bc no doubt as TO the liability
Of the treasurcrs and their bondsmcn.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Last Thursday a party of four
came up from Wausau and went out
to visit one of the hOmesteaders down
the river. Forest fires were raging at
the time and when the party had got
out a few miles they saw the woods
afire ahead of them. Leaving one of
their number, W. A. Gould, who was
weak and exhausted, the other three
went forward to recOnnOiter. After
going a short distance and finding it
possible to get through, they turned
back for their companion, but the fire
had come between them and cut
them off from him. After his COM
paniOns had left, Gould set down to
rest for a moment but was quickly
startled up by the fire coming down
in upon him. He was obliged to
He was surrounded by fire and in
breaking through it his hands which
he had used to protect his eyes, and
his face was badly burned. He lost
his way and tramped on with the
sole purpose Of keeping out OF the
flames. Night came on and becOm-
ing discouraged and nearly exhaust
ted he gave up and lay down to die.
He had not lain there but few min
utes when he heard COW bell Hope
revived and springing up he strug-
gled towards the welcome sound.
Falling over down trees and into
holes he finally came up to the COW
which he found feeding in an old trail
Following this he reached the road
and so Forrester's place near Mud
creek. Here he was taken in and
kindly cared for and finally brought
up to town. The next morning the
citizens learning that there were
) three men in the woods in danger of
fire, went to their relief but found
| them safe at one of the homesteaders.

HOT WORK
FOREST FIRES GIVES TS4 CLOSE
CALL.
The WaterW0rks Again Saves the
Town.

Last Tuesday we had the closest
call from forest fires that the town
has ever experienced. Fire has been
raging In the woods around us for
the last three weeks and once before
the village has had to turn out and
do battle with the flames, but moth
ing like that day has ever been ex-
| per1enced here. About noon the fire
| was seen coming up from the south
at the head of a gale of wind. The
fire company was called out and the
| woods was thoroughly wet down
| in advance of the fire as far as fifteen
hundred feet or hose would reach.
The people turned out and worked
only as people can work who see ey-
cry dollar that they have in:the w orld
and possibly their lives and the lives
of those they hold dearest at stake.
The village was Thoroughly wet
down and water hauled where It
would be handy for use.
4 wall of fire nearly as high us the
trees bore down on the devoted viii
lage and one person, stranger in
town, remarked that he would not
give fifty cents for the whole place
The air was full offenders and smoke
Fires were started anumber of places
In town but were as quickly extin-
guished by the alert citizens. Some
OF the sparks even few clear over the
place and started a fire in the slash
ing beyond. Meanwhile the firemen
and Others were working like heroes
throwing water on the advancing
flames which moved a great deal
slower as it reached where it had
been wet down anG it was kept from
crossing the open space between the
woods and the village.
Twenty pounds more pressure was
ever used before and nObly did it
stand the test. After the work done
that day the citizens who has word
to say against the WaterwOrks is
either q fool or a knave. Last spring
it was thought that it took q good
deal of money to run them. But
they have paid back with interest
ever cent that was ever expended ON
them. Twice this spring they. have
saved the village from total destruc-
ton. Although there is no more
Il.
still in order to guard against what
may possibly occur this fall or an
other spring, the mains should be ex-
tended to near the outskirts of the
village and another thousand feet of
hose purchased.
