BLAZE At WHITEHALL,
Trempealeau County Town Has a
Close Call from Total
Destruction.
FOUR BUILDINGS In ASHES.
Prompt Work by the Citizens Pre-
vented the Spread of the
FIames-SpeciaIs.

Whitehall, Wis, Jan. 23.-Fire at an
early hour this morning destroyed the
Rogers block, the principal one in the vii,
iage, two saloon buildings and vacant
store, entailing a loss Of between $15, 600
and 1000; insurance, $1,000. 1t was
only through the heroic efforts of the
citizens that the entire town was not
wiped out.
The fire originated in the rear of the
Rogers block on Main street. It was
only a few minutes when the entire
block was in flames. Every man
and boy in the village responded quickly
to the fire call and the bucket brigade
performed excellent service. The flames,
however, burned so fiercely that the fire
spread to the adjoining saloon of SOlzrud
and Engen. Next came 2. Solbergs sa>
loon and a vacant store owned by A. S.
Sturthout Of Sparta was next destroyed.
For a time it looked as if the whole
town would go, but extra efforts on the
part of the citizens kept the blaze at the
store building.
The Rogers block was occupied by the
following persons: E. Ekern, general
merchandise; George Parsons, restau>
rant; DR.. Sonnickson, Office and library;
Mr.. Kyle, dentist The families Of Oliver
Snow, Mrs. Lockwood and T. W. Porter

Friends Of the Murderer of Anna
Daniels Working in His
Behalf
LA CROSSE TRAGEDY RECALLED
The Principal at Present Serving a
Life Sentence at Waupun-
State Specials.

La Crosse, Wis, Jan. 26.-The friends
of Albert N. kennett, who was convicted
of the murder of Anna Daniels in this
city in February, 1888, and who is now
serving a life term at Waupun, are gath
ering new evidence in the case and formal
application for q pardon will be made to
Gov. Upham on February 20.
Kenneth was convicted on circumstan-
tial evidence and has always maintained
his innocence in strong terms. On Feb
ruary I, 1858, Anna Daniels. better
known as "Dickie Dennier," keeper of a
resort known as the Little Cameron"
was found lying dead on the floor in her
room. It was supposed at first that she
had ended her life by taking an overdose
of chloroform, but later developments
proved that she had met with foul play
The room was all torn up and her face
was covered with blood, indicating that
she had hard tuSSle with some person
before being overpoWered. Kennett, who
was meek-l0oking youth, was known to
frequent the house and an effort was
made to find him, but he had disappeared.
Through a letter found in the room it
was learned that he had shipped part of
the furniture belonging to the murdered
woman to Petersburg, ILL., An officer
found him at the latter place and he was
returned to La Crosse for trial. At first
he denied all knowledge of the crime, but
later be admitted that he had purchased
chloroform for the woman and that she
had taken an overdose. He claimed that
she had given him the furniture and also
many other articles which he had in his
possession when arrested.
The trial was one of the most sensa-
tional ever held here, owing principally
to the prominence of Kennetts people,
William Maisel was arrested as an ac-
>cessory, but he was afterwards put on
the stand as a witness against Kenneth.
The most important witness was A. J.
Allen of Waukesha, Wis, and later of
Savannah, Ill. He was the person who
1rst discovered the murdered woman.
lie told how Kenneth became infatuated
with the woman and used to make the
place his home. He also identified all the
articles found in Kennett's possession as
belonging to ''Dickie." Kennett was
finally convicted of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to state prison for

Marshfeld, Wis, Jan. 26-The pineries

been stimulated in consequence and the
merchants alike are happy with the log
ger. UphamS logging train, which cOm>
menced running Monday between here

bringing twenty loaded cars each day,
about $4,000 feet, which is being sawed
at their mill here. The r. Conner Lum>
Der company has both mills, one at Au-
as has also the Mcmillan Bros. at Me-
MILAN. The scenes along the line of the
Port Edward & Northern, between this
place and Grand Rapids, is one Of activi~
ty, as that road is handling the
cut Of the John Edwards Lumber com
pany this winter. They are hauling at
the rate of twenty-five cars daily, besides
doing much work for the Arpin Lumber
company of Arpin. The Ashland Iron
and Steel company has contracted 1000

day, 1t IS safe to say that work is as far
| advanced at the present time as it was
last year at this time. This applies more
to the largest loggers who had been haul

OBJECTED TO THE FOOD.
sOutasamie County Tramps Are Becom-
ing Very Dignified

Appleton Wis, Jan. 26.-Forty tramps
confined in the county jail yesterday sent a
petition to the county board, now in SEES
sion here, complaining of the quality of
the food furnished them by the sheriff.
The board investigated the matter and
found the quality and quantity of the food
furnished the prisoners to be all that
could be desired within reason. though not
as elaborate as the menu which. under the
former sheriff, made the Outagamie jail so
popular. The number has been reduced
from seventy-ive to thirty-nine by the
plain but wholesome regime of Sheriff
Bake. As a result Of the impertinence
of the tramps, the board adorsed resolu-
ton directing the sheriff to feed tramps
on as plain fare as allowed by
the statute, and further directing
the rigid enforcement Of the rule
prohibiting the presence in the jail Of any
reading matter, cards, games, pipes or
tobacco. There is no desire on the part
of the supervisors, sheriff or taxpayers
that Outagamie county shall be known to
professional ''hobos" as a comfortable
