Gov. Upham has made no appointment

1t will probably not be made before to-

1t is understood that Judge Hastings
OF Green Bay is to be the man.
Col. l.. J. Rusk visited Gov Upham in

no reason appears for changing yester

get the appointment. It is further report

New Building of the Dane County
Asylum Burned to tho

INSANE INMATES ALL ESCAPE.
Supt Edwin Probably Fatally Injured
While Fighting the Flames
Newsy State Specials.

Madison, Wis, July 27I[Special1-
The new building at the Dane county in
sane asylum at Verona, completed about
a year ago, was burned to the ground
during the storm last night. Only the
walls are left standing Fortunately
only a few patients were kept in this
portion of the asylum, and none of these
were injured. The only accident was
to Supt. Edwin, who was on the roof
lighting the fire when it went down, car
rying him with it. His arm was broken
and it is feared he was injured internal
ly. His condition today is reported criti-
cal. Most of the patients i'll the other
building were released in order to be
out of danger, and four of these escaped.
The others assisted in fighting the fire.
The new building was about fifty feet
from the old structure which connected
the wards. The two parts were connect
ed by two Railways, and these were
chopped out and removed, so that the
flames were prevented from reaching the
part where nearly all the patients were
confined. Between the two buildings
was windmill, which was struck by
lightning and the fire Is supposed to
nave started from the bolt. Fortunate
ly the wind was blowing toward the un-
occupied portion. Had it been the other
was terrible tragedy must have re-
when all the patients were locked in
their rooms.
An alarm was sent to this city and an
engine and hose cart went to the scene
on special train, making the run of
seven miles in eight minutes. The build
ang was almost entirely consumed when
the tiremen arrived and all they could do
was to eXtinguish the remains of the fire
and keep it from spreading. The build
ing cost the county about $4,000. No
insurance was carried so the loss is total
