New Trial for Hoffman.

August Hoffman of Marathon county,
twice convicted OF the killing of one
William Herzog in February, 1898, was
granted a new trial by the Supreme
court Of the state. His sentence on the
second conviction would have expired
in about two years as he has made good
time and made an excellent record
while in state prison. He has now
already served something like four
years in state prison though not legally
convicted, and this fact should be taken
in consideration by Judge and jury on
another trial. The first trial was had
in Marathon county in the spring of
1898, when he was convicted and SEN
fenced to ten years imprisonment, and
the second trial was bad IN Grand Rap
ids, Wood county, about two years ago,
when he was sentenced TO seven years
imprisonment.
The second trial was conducted by
Messrs. L. A. Pradt of Wausau and
Judge Gardner of Grand Rapids for the
state, and Judge Cate and Louis Mar
chetti for the defendant Wausau Rec

Rev. Wheeler Retained

The annual business meeting of the
Congregational church society, held in
the church parlors Tuesday evening was
largely attended by those interested in
the good work. 1t was representative
gathering including members from both
branches, the congregation of this city
and of Unity church in Centralia. Re-
ports Of condition were made, and the
financial standing was found to be in
very good shape providing all subscrip-
tions will be promptly paid as pledged
and they certainly will be. Rev. F. S.
Wheeler was re-engaged as pastor at an
increase Of salary by practically unani-
nous vote. The religious work at the
Congregational churches of our cities
has been fruitful and satisfactory to all
concerned during the past year.

Wood County Pays Up.

F. A. Cady, of Marshfeld, a member
of the Wood county board Of super
visors, was in the city Friday and made
settlement with District Attorney
Kreutzer of TIE claims of this county
against Wood county. In the Lord and
Emery matter Mr.. Cady paid $6,175.1O
being the principal, costs and interest
from the time the judgment was taken,
but the board disallowed the S270 Of
interest rightfully due this county for
the time between when the money was
paid out and the time when judgment
was taken.
In addition to the above Mr.. Cady
also paid $2S5.50 in settlement Of three
old claims that were incurred by
changes of venue away back in 1898 and
1894. These claims were dug up by
District Attorney Kreutzer during one
of his recent visits to Grand Rapids in
the Lord and Emery matter, and were
allowed by the board at its recent
session.
That night the treasury of Marathon
county was just $6,36O.69 richer than it
was previously but as the Lord and
Emery case again comes up for trial in
a few days, the bulk Of this money will
have to be paid out for costs, which will
again be taxed up against Wood
county.-Wausau Record

Substltutes-~For Normal, Munnell, Bremmer,
Manz; for Grand Rapids, Paul Love, Green.
Referee-Prof V. E. McCaskill, Stevens Point.
Umpire-Prof Ford, Grand Rapids.
Linesmen-Br&zeau and King.
Love at kickoff sent the sphere to
Beach who was downed on his 80 yard
line. Normals started right in with
their wedge play and center bucking
tactics pushing slowly along for 26 yards
when they were held on downs. Grand
Rapids in possession of the oval turned
the fun in an opposite direction. Two
yards they pushed through center, then
yards through tackle. Crawford cir
cled the end SO yards. A series of
tackle and line plays advanced High
school until Demitz put the ball within
two feet of Normal goal. Then Craw-
ford was pushed over for touchdown
and Love kicked goal Time, 6 min.
40 sec. This was a joyful moment for
local rooters. Hats and colors were up
in the air, also many spectators.
Fuller kicked off to Love, who fun
bled, and Normal got the ball on Grand
Rapids 20 yard line, but it went back to
Grand Rapids again on their 10 yard
line as penalty for Normal offside.
Love punted 20 yards and Compton
covered the pigskin. Demitz advanced
three, then Normals got possession by
tumble. Beach made Normals only
end run of the day, 20 yards. Halvor-
sen made fine tackle but was injured,
Green taking his place. The Normais
were being held for last down when
High school got offside and the ball was
advanced to their yard line by official
Ford. Stevens Point used the wedge
and made touchdown. Fuller kicked
goal The rest of the half was a stub
born see-saw, but neither side gained a
vantage. First half ends to 6. Time,

close to its goal. Time 20 minutes.
For Howe High school no one can
claim to have won the game. They did
it ''all together" One boy stands out
pre-eminent for his nerve in tackling
and falling before wedge plays. That
one is quarterback Mccarthy, weight
122 pounds, the smallest on the field
and cracker-jack In every scrimmage.
Saturday evening the victorious high
school team was banqueted at Davis
restaurant by Geo. n. Wood, the band
turned out to serenade them, and many
citizens joined in spirited celebration.
This unbeaten team will play its last
game of the season today against Maus-
ton high SCHOOL Mauston comes as
champion of the Sparta-Tomah league
and will try hard to defeat Grand Rap
ids, but the home eleven cannot afford
to be defeated at the very close Of its
star career and promises to play as it
never played before if put to the test.
Don't miss this last game in this city.
