| Messrs. DR.. z. P. Hanson and G. S.
Mckenzie, Of Chicago, came to this
city Monday for days outing. In
company with Geo. n. Wood they
spent the day fishing on the Wisconsin
river above Biron's. This day was
made memorable from the fact that
they captured a black bass which was
reported to US as weighing 5 pounds.
He was dressed and packed in ice and
taken to Chicago as the trophy of the
days catch. This is no fish story but an
actual fact which can be certified to by
affidavit.

Destructive Marsh Fires.
Tiany Buildings so up in Smoke. Es=
tir,sted Less $4,000.

All day yesterday and Tuesday
a dense black smoke hung over
the city and settled over the hori-
ION in the direction of the big
marshes. Investigation showed
that an immense fire was sweeping
all that section of country lying on
the south side of the Chicago,
Milwaukee, and St. Paul R. R.
from Babcock to Bears Marsh,
sweeping hay, cranberries and
buildings off the face Of the earth.
Numerous cranberry houses have
been built on the several marshes
for the accommodation Of pickers
and laborers, and were dry food
for the flames.
The Fitch marsh was the only
one saved. About half of the
Kruger marsh escaped. All of T.
E. Nash's big marsh, Cohen's and
the Villas marshes suffered COM
.plete loss Of present years crops
and improvements. Whether the
roots are totally destroyed or not
is yet to be determined.
The whole country is dry and
scorched by the long dry spell
and unless rain comes soon greater
losses will occur. Many small
villages and mill towns are with
out water adequate to fight a fire
and high wind could start con-
f1agration impossible to control
Grave fears are entertained for the
rural districts in the line of the
threatened sections.
