Sun: Wednesday night the resi-
denoe of Mr.. f. w. Shell Of this
city was broken open by burglers.
They gained entrance to the house
by saving out some Of the Stats in a
window blind, and then opening the
blind got in through window which
was raised with a screen under it
to let in air. None Of the occupants
of the house were disturbed aud
only discovered that the house had
been broken into on rising from bed
in the morning. The thieves made
a most thorough search Of all parts
Of the house except the room occu.
pied by Mr. Shell aud wife. This
was so fastened that it could not be
readily got into. 1t seems tlat the
parties were in quest Of money az
nothing was taken and they got
no money either. They also visited
the store Of w. II. Thomas s Co.
and the cellar Of Mr.. Grimm. From
these nothing but something 70 eat
was taken.

THE fair at DodgevilIe this week
was favored with good weather-dry
and dusty, Of course, but those who
cared to attend did not let that stand
in their way. 'Tis believed more has
been on exhibition in some years
previous, but the quality, merit and
skill displayed in every department
were striking and never better. The
time Of hol ding the fair is so early
that it might be attributed as a cause
for the lack Of quantity in some de.
partmeuts. The races were on the
whole hotly contested and there
fore proved exciting. Attendance
above the average.

FIRE-SWEPT WISCONSIN.
Millions of Dollars Worth of Timber
Being Burned.

BENG burneds
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 16.-While
reports from Northern Wisconsin are
somewhat reassuring, and fires in the
forests are not abating, the great danger
to the threatened cities is past for the
present at least. The people at Marsh
field begin to feel more secure, as the high
wind OF the prevailing past twelve or
fifteen hours has gone down. Rain was
never prayed for with more fervor than
it has been for the past three weeks.
For month the forest fires have been
burning and standing timber worth
millions of dollars if sacrificed, while
hundreds of poor settlers lose not only
their homes but all their possessions are
swept away. That there will be wide
spread suffering and restitution there can
no longer be any doubt. Time will, it is
believed. show many persons persisted
this year, although it may be weeks and
perhaps months before the full extent of
the loss of property and life is learned.
Some idea of the immense extent of the
burning forest can be obtained when it is
known that the fires extend from Shaw
ano, Lincoln and Portage counties in the
south to Lake Superior in the north, and
westward from Marinette and Oconto
counties to Sawyer, Barron and Chippewa
counties

ATTACKED BY A LION.
A Thrilling Experience Which Colonel
Boone Had in Africa.

Boone Had in Africa.
Colonel Daniel Boone, the well known
performer with trained lions, was mem
Der of the French soldiery in Africa dur
ing the '7O's. His regiment was stationed
lust outside of one of the worst jungles
known in that part of the country, and
had number OF very thrilling adven-
lures.
SIN 1867 said he, ''while our regi-
ment of Cnasseurs = Antique was quarter
ing in southern Africa, lion hunt was
organized by some of the officers. Ac
companied by the native heaters and
necessary accouterment we started into
the Jungle. Several lions had been killed
and we were on the point OF returning,
when a lion was started, as l thought,
back of me. | turned and waited for him
to come out of the jungle, when | heard a
cracking of twigs in the rear, and l
turned Just in time TO see tremendous
fellow about crouching for spring. /
threw my gun up and gaveit to him right
between the eyes.
"a lions skull, instead of being round,
is angular, with the forehead more or less
pointed. a ball striking full in the face
will glance either one side or another.
That's Just what mine did. 1t ran along
under the skin and cut the skin at the
neck. / knew that my last chance was
gone and dropping my gun, fell into a
position, kneeling on one knee, with my
LETT arm thrown up to shield my face.
When he came at me, all l could see was
a brown streak, and then he struck.
s.He caught my arm just above the
elbow and, braced as was, he turned a
complete somersault over my head. He
held on, chewing and growing, while l
tried to reach my hunting knife. Sud-
denly with lightning like motion the
lion let 90 my arm and, throwing me on
nv back, opened his huge jaws and
gripped me on the left side. l felt the
ribs give way. Then gave myself up as
IA 'goner.'
sThe other members of the party had
come up in the meantime, but the lion
and were SO closely mixed up that shot
was impossible. Finally, when l had
lost consciousness, one of the party
sneaked up and placed the muzzle OF his
gun at the lion s ear and let her go, kill
ing him instantly.
IL was three months recovering, and
then three of my ribs were crushed and
this arm was a reminder. The lion
weighed 900 pounds and measured over
seven feet.'
