for the arrest of Charles d. Cox and Har
~ J. O'Brien, Chicago insurance agents,
ON charge of violating the insurance
laws Of Wisconsin. 1t is not probable

The three commissioners consisting of
the county judge, county clerk and district
attorney, who under Wisconsin's new law
are empowered to select deputy game
warden for Douglas County. are showed
under with about sixty applications for
the job. 1t is probable that the County
Board will take a different view of the
situation. There is no compensation for
the deputy except such as the county may
provide and in the interest of economy"
it is stated now that the plan is for Doug
las County to have no warden during the
coming year. The hunters state that if
this policy is carried out there will be
greater slaughter than ever among the
deer and wild game of the northern part
Of the State.

street was set upon by the drunken crowd
When it was over he was found at tho
depot covered with knife wounds. Joseph
Volade and Ambrose Bourier, two home
steaders, in another saloon, heard the
fight and attempted to go to Doherty's
assistance. Both were roughly handled

ed across the neck with a bowie knife
but escaped death. Volade was stabbed
all over the body and his coat was cut
into ribbons. They retreated into the sa-
loon and barred door and mob. Doherty,
whose home is in Duluth, will probably
die. The other two will recover.
A very destructive fire occurred on the
D. D. Trevelen estate in the town of By
ron, FIVE miles from Fond du Lac, at 3
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. 1t resulted
in the destruction of all the buildings on
the place and a loss of over $4,000, with
small insurance. The fire started in the
large barn and was very small at first and
could have easily been extinguished with
hand grenade, but there was no means
of fighting tie flames and they were soon
beyond the control of those present aon
the farm. 1t spread to the other buildings,
destroying in all the two barns, sheds,
granary, carriage house and residence.

wheat, 1,5OO tons of hay, a large quantity
of corn, wagons, all the farm implements,
etc. Twenty-Five hogs were burned to
