Fire is Raging the Big Cranberry
Marsh at Peshtigo.
Peshtigo, Wis, Sept. 6.-[Special. IA
fire is raging on the large marsh situated
between here and Marinette, and thou
sands of acres have been burned over. "A
large amount of hay in stacks has been
swept away and farm buildings situated
along the borders Of the marsh are in
danger. The wind for the past two days
has been blowing a gale and the efforts
of men to stop the spread of the flames
are unavailing. A portion of the marsh
is owned by e. Boaler of Green Bay and
is devoted to the culture of cranberries.
A portion of the crop has been picked,
and pickers were still engaged in the
work. The crop was an unusually light
enc, but prices are advancing. The
greatest loss to Mr.. Boaler is the de.
struction of the plants and serious In.
jury to the marsh for future crops.
Marinette, Wis, Sept. 6.-[Special.] J.
The cranberry marsh fires two miles from
this city on the old Peshtigo road caused
great terror in this neighborhood. Heavy
clouds of smoke settled over the city and
caused many to believe the forests near
here were on fire. The smoke was blown
over Green bay and caused lake mariners
some alarm and made boats late. There
is no great danger at present.

of the case is as follows: Dan Head Il

general laws of Wisconsin. Their only
claim to corporate existence is founded
upon chapter II B of the laws of 1874,
repealed by the revision of 1873. I'M

do general banking business. But the

did the law would have been void for
the constitution of Wisconsin provides
that the Legislature shall not Eave pow
er to create, authorize OF incorporate,
either by general or special law, any cor
poration with banking powers and priyl-
leges, without first submitting that law
to the voters of Wisconsin and receiving
their approval of it. This law was not
submitted to the people. Therefore their
pretended incorporation under this law
