GlenWood Manufacturing Company
Strongly Endorses the State
Board of Arbitration.

Madison, Wis, May 9.--[Special.]-
Gov. Upham today received the follow
ing letter from the Glenwood Manufac-
turing company of Glenwood, Wis,
where a strike was recently settled by
the state board of arbitration:
To His Excellency, w. H. Upham, Gov
ernor of Wisconsin: Dear Sir: The strike
happily settled here a few days ago by the
Intervention Of the state board of arbitra-
ton, appointed by yourself under the recent
law, being the first case in which the board
acted, we feel that yourself and people of
the state at large will be gratifed to know
that as one Of the parties to the controversy
we are willing to say most heartily that the
law creating such a commission is a wise
and beneficiary one, and that the men COM
posing it have the high sense of their re-
spOnsbility and impartiality that members
OF. such board should possess.
We believe it to be the opinion Of all con-
cerned that had ii not been for the board,
the misunderstanding would undoubtedly
have deepened and that a great loss to both
sides must have followed We think it well
to say for the benefit of others that the
method employed by the board of bringing
the parties together informally for discus
sion Of the difference was more satisfac-
tory than would have been had a formal
method Of signing an agreement which
both parties would have felt to be to q GER
tain extent moving in the dark.
Il is due to the men to say that they first
invoked the services of the commission and
to the company to say that they promptly
accepted. MesSrs Edwards, Jardeau and
Waddell left here with the best wishes of
all our citizens rt.

MOVE TO GAIN TIME.
Central Wisconsin Electric Railway
Company at Oshkosh De-
clared to be Insolvent.

Oshkosh, Wis, May 7.-[SpeciaLl-
The long-delayed electric street railway
matter reached a sensational climax to-
day when upon application of Thomp-
son, Harshaw & Thompson, on an I'M
satisfied judgment for $14S, the Central
Wisconsin Electric Railway company
was declared insolvent and +. III. Josslyn
of this city named as receiver under
bonds of $12, 900. An injunctional order
was also issued temporarily restraining
all suits against the company or inter-
ference with it's property.
This action is considered a shrewd
move by the electric company, which for
several weeks has been sparring for time
to secure money to continue building OPP
eratiOns. Several suits for material fur
nished are now pending and the city has
ordered the company to proceed with the
work of construction or have its right of
way filled in. The company has about
four miles of track laid.
Mr.. Josslyn, the receiver is one of the
chief promoters and stockholders of the
company. The nominal assets are placed
at $4,000, with liabilities about $22,-

DIED FOR HIS HORSES.
Strange Man Killed While Trying to
Flag a Train Near Mad

Madison, Wis, May 8.-[Special.l IAN
unknown man was killed by the cars at
Oregon about 1 o'clock this morning, a
short distance south of the depot. No
one saw the accident, but developments
show that he drove onto the railway
track at the depot, turning and driving
south. A short distance from the depot
his horse fell between the sleepers of
the railway bridge. 1t is evident that
while he was trying to extricate the ami
NAL he heard the train approaching, for
he had crossed the bridge. He did not
succeed in attracting the attention Of the
engineer in time to stop, however, and
the engine struck him, killing him almost
instantly.
No one at Oregon knows the man, and
nothing was found on his person by
which he can be identified. He was an
old gentleman of about 70 years, about
feet inches tall, weight probably l4O,
smooth shaved and rather well dressed.
His feet were badly crippled and he
wore nothing on them but pair OF
arctic overshoes.
He drove a bay pony with road cart,
in which was found case of eggs. the

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Not a Single Street Car Run on
Sunday.
Little Change in the Strike Situation
Board of Arbitration.

Milwaukee, Wis, May lily esterday
was a unique Sunday for Milwaukee,
the like of which was never before seen
here Not a street car was run during
the day and at shutdown the police had
not made an arrest on any charge. The
mercury showed 90 degrees in the shade
and the sidewalks were thronged with
people trudging to the parks and beer
gardens while thousands were carried
about by busses and other conveyances.
The reason for this peculiar state of
affairs was the strike Of the employees Of
the Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light company, who went out Il week
ago to enforce their demands of an in
crease in pay from 10 to 20 cents an
hour and also recognition OF the union.
Hoodlums had created much disturbance
through the week by stoning cars and
''egging' policemen and impo:ted motor
men. Therefore it was deemed best not
to attempt to run any cars on Sunday,
when the streets would be crowded with
people.
Shortly before noon there was a pa
rade in which the motormen and con-
ductors showed 800 strong and the cleo
trical workers turned out with 200 men
in line. There were about 1000 men in
line. President Mahon of the national
association, President Flint of the local
union and several other labor leaders
made speeches. The leaders say that
not a member of the union has deserted
The decision not to run any cars was ar
rived at Saturday evening at a con-
ference held between the street railway
officials and the city authorities. 1t
was looked upon by the strikers and
their sympathizers as a complete back
down. The fact is that the company was
earnestly advised not to attempt to run
cars, as by so doing riot, or a dozen
of them, would probably be precipitated.
The state board of arbitration has been
called upon, and is now in session here.
This afternoon the committee of the
strikers appeared before it and stated
the mems side of the dispute. The board
then sent word to VicePresident Payne
notifying him that he would be heard at
10 o'clock today. Mr.. Payne said last
night that he would be pleased to talk
to the members of the board, but that
there was nothing to arbitrate now. He
claims that the, strike is over and that
the company will run its entire compile
ment Of cars today. The promise, how
ever, has been made every day since the
strike began. During the day there was
great activity in labor circles perfecting
boycott of the company and all MEM
bers of the labor organizations riding in
cars will be subject to fine or dismissal !.

SWEPT BY FLAMES.
Millions of Feet of Lumber and
Docks Are in
Ach0c

Ashland, Wis, May 9ISpeciaI. L
Half a MILAN dollars worth Of milling
property and lumber went up in flames
at Ashland today. The Shores Lumber
companys mill, the largest on Cheuua-
megon bay, is in smouldering ruins and
several thousand feet of lumber dock is
burned to the waters edge, which CON
tanned about 100000 feet of lumber.
The fire started on w. r. Durfee's
lumber docks, and not only an extensive
loss of property, but one life at least
was lost in the heroic effort to beat
back the flames. 1t is impossible yet
to state who the man is, but at II 80
o'clock, when the great tornado of flames
burst out from the lumber piles into the
sawmill, it cut off the retreat of several
men who were at the outer edge of the
mill fighting back the flames.
The mill is surrounded by water with
wooden tramWays leading to the shore
All the men succeeded in reaching the
ttramways successfully with the excep-
ton of John NOlander. He was en-
veloped by a sheet of flames one mo-
ment; the next he jumped from the pill
ing into the water of the bay. Thou
sands of people who lined the shore saw
him drown and the great clouds of smoke
and flames then shut the horrible view
from sight. 1t is reported that one
verified.
Those who lost lumber are F. Boutin
and George Best, Bayfield,; North Wis
consin Lumber company of Hayward;
J. f. Van Dooser, Charles Crogster and
Shores Lumber company of Ashland.
The latter lost 100000 feet of lumber
besides their milling property and docks,
which will make them lose between
1915, 900 and 100000. The Hines Lum-
Der company of Chicago and A. P Brew
er & Son of Saginaw, Mich, also lose
heavily.
The lumber of all the firms mentioned
with the exception of the Shores Lum-
Der company owned lumber that was
piled on w. r. Durfee's dock The fire
is still burning iercely, but has been
checked somewhat. The keystone Lum-
Der company's lumber and milling prop
erty is practically out of danger, al
though all ferryboats and tugs have
been taken away from their regular runs
and are pumping water on the stock.

TWO VIEWS EXIST.
Old Fort Winnebago it Appeared Prior
to Destruction in 1856.

to Destruction in 1856.
Portage, Wis, May i9.-[Special L
Until recently it had been supposed that
no view of old Fort Winnebago, as it
appeared prior to its partial destruction
by fire in 1856, was extant, but two lith-
ographic views bearing no date, but very
probably made about 1888, have been
found. one of these among the effects of
the late Daniel Baxter of Prairie du
Sac, the builder of the first state capitol
The other was found by Fred E. .Mer-
rell. one OF the present owners of the
site, among some papers left by his
father, Henry Merrell. From this pic
ture, with the assistance of Jonas COnk-
lin, John Graham, j. E. Wells, f. l..
jaeger, A. j. Turner and others, Alonzo
Kellogg, an artist of this city, has
evolved a pen sketch which is pro-
nounced a very faithful representation
of the garrison as it existed more than
fifty years ago.
A j. Turner is now engaged in the
preparation of a map showing the old
French claim No. p, which will show
the location of every building-fve in
number-on the plat in 1888 together
with the names of the owners; the pre-
else spot where Pierre Panquette was
killed and where he was first buried; the
location of the portage" between the
Fox and Wisconsin, rivers: the point
where Father Jacques Marquette pulled
where he entered the Wisconsin river;
the burial place of L'Ecuyer; the loca-
ton of the canal as first contemplated;
the exact site of the first church built
on the site of the present city of Port
age, which was built by Panquette about
1888, for Father Mazzuchelli,. Domini-
can priest; the old trails leading to the
fort and early trading posts, besides
many other particulars of general inter-
est and historical value.

OcOnto County Farmer Kills a NeighbOr
and Burns the Body.

Oconto, Wis, May 8.-[Special.I-A
terrible crime has been reported here
from the town of Howe, this county.
John Leseck, a well-known farmer, got
into a dispute with another, farmer and
the latter shot Leseck in the head, kill
ing him instantly. He then took the
body of the dead farmer to brushpile
and set fire to it. The remains were
so badly burned that nothing was left by
which they could be recognized. Among
the ashes, however, were some buttons
and a key which were identified as be-
longing to Leseck. After the murder
the man left for the woods and has since
that time eluded the officers. A posse
left here last night for the scene of the
murder, but up to noon today they had
not returned. The people around here
are greatly excited and the chances are
that if the man is caught he will be

HIS WORD WAS LAW.
Sparta Postmaster Umpired a Bail Game
Backed with Pistols.

Sparta, Wis, May 9-One of the
greatest games of baseball ever played in
this county was the one from the effects
of which some of our leading business
men are still limping. The high school
team has had few games with neigh
boring cities and conceived the idea of
playing with a picked nine of business
men, and it was no sooner proposed than
the sporting blood of business men, who
played ball years ago began to boil.
Postmaster Cheney was umpire. Mr..
Cheney is a very excitable man, could
not stand the shouts of the small boys,
and had not the remotest idea of the
difference between a baseball rule and a
two-fo0t rule AT the third inning it was
noticed that horse pistol of the vintage
of 1912 was sticking in the ground be-
tween his feet, and before the fourth was
over another about two feet long was be-
side it. After this no decisions were
questioned At the end of the nine in
nings the score stood Ii to i in favor of
the school team.
