now quite certain, he furnished Thorpe
with the tools with which he effected
his escape. Upon securing the infor-

Newspaper dispatches have shown
an unusual spread of forest fires over
much territory on both sides of the
Green Bay railroad for thirty to forty
miles east from New London to Green
Bay. The greatest damage to property
seems to have been done between
Black Creek and the Bay. Fires have
been burning in that section for two
weeks, but the light snow falls Of Sun
day and Monday morning rendered
valuable assistance in effectually check
ing the same. At Oneida Indian
Reservation, near Green Bay, several
houses were destroyed the latter part
of last week. In one Of the houses
three Indian children were burned to
death. Travel along the G. B. road
was made quite uncomfortable for
several days on account of the dense
smoke. Fires are now out and that
inconvenience done away with.

WEDDING JOKE.
Joseph Landry and Lille Van Slate
Married on the Quiet.

A couple from Centralia played a
little joke on their friends Sunday.
Joseph Landry, Lille Van Slate, Amiel
Galarneau and a young lady whose
name cannot be ascertained, drove up
from that city and stopped at the
Arlington House, leaving their rig at
Lutz's barn. At about two o'clock in
the afternoon, Mr.. Landry and Miss
Van Slate sent their friends to the barn
to bring back the team. The friends
went and the aforesaid Mr.. Landry and
Miss Van Slate slipped quietly over to
Judge Murat's office. The Judge was
on hand by appointment and so were
w. E. Cassidy and w. J. Delaney, the
genial clerk of the court. The Judge
in his happy manner united Miss Van
Slate and Mr.. Landry in the bonds of
holy matrimonv. The grOomsmen
added dignity to the occasion and the
wedding was quite pretty for the Judge
takes good deal of pride in such work
and SO does Mr.. Delaney who has had
a large experience in the bridegroom
business, having officiated at least thirty
times in that capacity. After the cere-
mony the bridal party slipped back to
the Arlington House, hushed the matter
up and rode home with their friends,
who were blissfully ignorant of any
thing unusual. The Judge declares
that it was about the incest couple he
ever married.-Steyens Point Journal.

OVERCOAT STEALING.

The sheriff arrested five tramps the
past week who were suspected Of steal
ing in the twin cities. Elmore MOberg,
bartender for James Dolan missed both
his coats on the 23rd and Mr.. G. O.
Baker who had just purchased a new
overcoat which cost him $50 and hung
it up in the Central House missed il {
few minutes afterwards. 1t was stolen
at o'clock in the morning. On Satur-
day the 26th they were brought before
Justice w. A. Keyes for examination,
one Geo. Roberts, was bound over for
stealing Moberg's coats and the others
ale to be heard on November 1st.
Since Saturday the Baker overcoat has
been recovered. One of the above
prisoners Robt. Murphy has been
identified as the person who sold the
overcoat to Chas. Bealer who paid him
s. for it. We are informed by the
sheriff that the five prisoners are hard
characters and probably wanted some
where else for depredations of like
character. At the examination one OF
these fellows said that he never did a
DAYS work and never intended to.
Drone like he should be forced to work
or die. There is no use fooling with
such specimens of humanity. If man
won't work he robs some one of every
thing that is required by him to live.
