HOMICIDE.
VIM. Upper SHOT SATURDAY
WHILE HUNTING.
Stewart Fuller, a Boy in AnOth=
er Boat, Prematurely Dis
carged His Gun Toward Tip
per, Who Was Duck Hunting
Near AmbOy.

A sad accident occurred on Jackson
lake, a mile from AmbOy, Saturday,
resulting in the death of VIM. Upper,
young man from Good Thunder,
who was hunting ducks on the lake.
Upper was alone in boat. in some
rushes, and close by were two boys
sixteen or seventeen years old, in an
other boat. These boys were Stewart
Fuller and Clyde Bittner, of Amboy.
A flock of ducks flew by, and Fuller
grasped his gun and started to bring
it up to take aim at the ducks,
when the gun was prematurely
discharged. Fuller, in bring
ing the gun up, bad the
muzzle pointing in Tipper's direction,
and when the cartridge exploded, the
charge of shot struck Upper on his
right side below the ribs, and near
the small of his back The two boats
were SO close together that the shot
did not spread more than three inches
before the charge struck it's victim.
Upper fell into his boat, and the
two boys rowed to shore and notified
a farmer who was at work in field.
The word was Immediately taken to
Amboy, and Deputy Sheriff Frank
Latin was notified. Sheriff Bowen
also happened to be there. and he and
Mr.. Latin drove to the lake. At first
they could not find Upper, as his boat
was hidden in the rushes, but he could
be heard calling for the boys.
He was dead when they found him,
having died probably ten minutes
previously, and about three quarters
of an hour after the shooting.
Upper was about thirty years of
age. His remains were taken to
Amboy, and Coroner Paddock and
Sheriff Bowen will 20 there tonight
hold an inquest.
This is the first hunting accident of
the fall in this county, and has cast
a gloom over the county.

VIM. License Moves His Goods
While His Wife Is Away.
Says He Has Left Mrs. License
For Good.

There is trouble in the License
family, and Mr.. VIM. License and Mrs.
License know each other no more.
and the little Licenses are separated.
Friday while Mrs. License was at
work at Capt T. 81. Andrews resi-
dence, heI husband moved many of
the household goods out of their little
home on Poplar street to house
near the Minneapolis & St. Louis
depot. August Lorentz's dray wagon
was called upon for assistance, and
with the goods, Mr.. License also took
his sister and two of the children.
When Mrs. License returned to her
home last evening it looked as though
a cyclone had struck it.
Mrs. License was asked today
whether she cared to say anything
about her husbands action, but she
refused to talk. She has her little
five year old girl with her.
Mr.. License was seen by FREE
PRESS reporter, and had this to say:
II do not care to say anything about
my wife. She left me six years ago, TAX
ing one of the children with her, and
did not come back for two weeks.
Things have come to such pass that
we cannot live together. | have
stood her abuse as long as | can, and
fearing that l could not refrain from
violence, decided to leave her.
took just enough of the furniture to
live with, leaving her large share of
it. | am willing to take the other
child, if my wife does not want to
support her. 1t is my present iDten-
tion never to live with my wife again,
but | shall take no steps toward OBJ
tanning divorce.
"The trouble at present seems to be
due to the arrival of my sister
Daisy, young girl from England,
two weeks ago. My wife has made it
unpleasant for both myself and sister
since then, and we could not stand
it,"
License accidently shot himself in
the hand, while taking revolver
apart in Capt. Andrews shop. and is
not yet able to work. The chances
are that he will not 60 to work again
for Capt. Andrews. Mrs. License is a
sister of AL Empey.

TOLEDO, Nov. 6.-Judge Parker
rendered a decision today that the
Wood county board of supervisors
must certify the. returns of Center

pose it, by making threats and state
ments, and will probably give the use
of it's ''phones for nothing. That very
method is what makes success for
the local company by inspiring the
loyalty of the people.
A fine exchange, first class In every
appointment can be installed at S4O TO
$40 per phone or little less, With
$50 TO 800 phones, separate wire TO
each phone, and poles sufficient for
the growth of the plant by 100 to loo
more phones. Mr.. Nate said that he
would not favor putting more than
one subscriber on wire. There Is
every chance here to put In plant al
minimum cost, as the city is long
and narrow and two main lines with
their lateral branches will be sur
hcient. Ordinarily plant costs $50
'phone, and the construction company
gets So to $40 a phone. The latter
can be saved If the plant is put ln by
the local company. Mr.. Nate SAID
that he would advise the company TO
get a good man, of whom plenty
can be secured at reasonable
salaries, who could install the
plant. He would. use the common
return system, which has been adopt
ed by ninety per cent Of the indepen-
dent exchanges. Some systems have
been put in as low as $50 phone.
President Haight spoke of the de-
STABILITY Of getting out from under
| the Bell company, which caused the
start to be made at Winnebago City.
His company's exchanges had paid a
good dividend from the start-as
much as thought to have. The fear
of trouble had caused some delay,
but the animosity against the Bell
company was great nelp and should
help here.
The meeting decided to enlarge the
committee of arrangements, and o.
w. Schmidt, Dyer A. Walker and f.
G. Hoerr were added to it. The
meeting then adjourned,
The committee met with the tele-
phone officials at Attorney Plymat's
Office this morning and arrangements
were made to make rapid canvass OF
the city. Within two weeks, it is
expected that the entire stock
will be taken and the necessary
phones subscribed for. The other
companies will assist in the work by
furnishing men TO help in the
canvass.
