The committee appointed to investigate
the matter of hydrant system will be able
to do nothing until the ground becomes
settled, but it is hoped that action will be
taken as soon as possible. From present
observations it would seem matter of
comparatively small expense to establish a
valuable hydrant system both for fire and
lawn purposes, and it would seem as though
the income from hose and domestic uses of
the water would keep the system in repair.
We consider the establishment of a water
main through our Main street valuable
enterprise.

HUNTING THE MISSING WIFE.
Luther Latin Mills Believes Luetgert an
Innocent Man.

A feature of this remarkable case that
is hardly less remarkable than the case
is the interest that Luther Latin Mills
takes in it. For over two months,
prompted solely by humanitarian mo-
tives, he has had detectives at work in
northern Wisconsin trying to locate q
woman who, IN the opinion of some
people, may be the missing Mrs. Luet-
gsrt. Almost daily Mills has received
letters and kilograms from his agents
telling of their chase after the elusive
woman. Mills became interested in the
case in a somewhat peculiar fashion.
In the latter part Of July he was
solicited to defend Luetgert. and in
company with Attorney Vincent. had
two interviews with the prisoner Bust
ness conditions were such that Mills
could not go into the case, but he never
theless took a great interest in it.
During one of the interviews in the
county Jail Luetgert showed him a big
bundle of letters from people who said
they knew his wife was alive. Some
wanted money to find her; Others told
prepostercus tales. One impressed

Smith and said that In his opinion Mrs.
Luetgert was alive and living in de-
men.ed condition on a farm near Bay

his story in Straightforward manner. 1t
