"a Polish labOrer, in the employ
of the Langenberg Brick company at
their yards, was instantly killed yester-
day afternoon. The man, with several
others, was in the pit shoveling clay,
when suddenly a great mass of earth
weighing several tons fell upon him and
crushed him. Several dynamite cart
ridges were exploded near the clay
bank early in the day and it is thought
that this ledge had been loosened by
the conclusion.
Wausau Record: The Madison
Journal thinks there is too much noise
in the back Seats" because The Record
and few other papers are speaking
out i'll meeting. But The Record is not
in back seat. 1t is standing up in the
aisle in order that it may see what is
going on.
Gov. and Mrs. Upham and daughter

lar demonstration will take place there

Wausau Herald: Martin Fogarty
rescued little six year old girl from a
watery grave last Friday. The little
girl while picking flowers along the
bank of the slough below the guardlock
fell in and would have surely drowned
had not Mr.. Fogarty been near by to
pull her out before she finally sank. It
| took considerable work to resuscitate
| her.
Plainfeld Sun: Wednesday morning
at about ten o'clock the residents Of
Plaintield were greatly shocked upon
hearing of the sudden death of Andrew
j. Ferdon, which occurred on North
Street, short distance east of THE Sun
office. He had been seen only a
moment before passing along the street,
| pictures on the bill boards when he fell,
and was found in an unconscious cOndi-
| ton lying on the ground between the
sidewalk and the bill boards. He was
raised to the walk, but soon breathed
| his last. The cause of his death is
attributed to the breaking of a blood
vessel.
Stevens Point Journal: Thomas
Slahatki was instantly, killed and
Lawrence Adamski slightly injured, IN
Langenberg's brick yard, at 3:45 O'Clock
last Thursday afternoon. A crew of
eight men was at work in the clay pit,
filling car which conveys the clay to
| the works. Several dynamite blasts
had been discharged into the bank dur
the day for the purpose of lOOsening
| the earth. AS Slahatki was shoyeling
near the bank several tons of earth and
rock came down with crash and he
was buried under a portion Of it. The
| body was dug out in a few minutes, but
death must have been instantaneous.
Marshfeld Times: Prof. F. E.
| Hamlin who has been located at Winona
since his principal-ship of the Marsh
| field High School, studying medicine, is
in the city visiting friends and will
possibly remain here during his vaca-
ton. The Professor always exhibited
a kindly feeling toward Marshfield and
while we admire him for this, we
cannot escape from the opinion that
something more serious than visiting
calls Mr.. Hamlin to our midst. If you
| think you know what we are limiting at
don't mention it to anyone for the
Professor is very bashful.
Marshfield Timcs:-An attempted
robbery took place at the home of John
Kohl in the town of Lincoln, last
Thursday. On returning home from
this city on that day, Mr.. Kohl found
that some party had entered the house
through the window and opened the
safe. He is school district treasurer
and generally has considerable school
money on hand but just at this time the
safe was empty and the robbers had
their work for nothing.
Necedah Following is a
brief statement of the laws regarding
estrays. eff you take up stray animal
| you must within ten days give notice to
your township clerk who must make an
entry of the same; then you advertise
the animal III your local paper and sixty
days after such advertisement has ap-
peared you apply to the justice Of the
| peace to sell the animal. He issues a
warrant to the constable, who gives the
ten days notice by poster, then he sells
it and you get the pay for expenses,
keeping, etc. Upon failure to give
notice, the owner of the estray can take
the animal where he finds it, and 1t
might bother person to recover keep
| ing charges"
