OVER WHICH ROUTE?
Plans of Interurban Electric Railway
Keep Neenah People Guessing.

Neenah, Wis, April ID Special. i
Active preparations for the building of
an interurban railway from Oshkosh to
Neenah have begun, but there is still con-
siderable doubt as TO the route over
which the line will be built. When the
Traction company cf Oshkosh deposited
$4,000 with the city clerk, as guaran-
tee of good faith, all doubt of its inten-
ton to build was dispelled. Before that
time it was generally supposed that the
Traction company was seeking Il fran
chise over the Ridge road, merely for
trading purposes, line along the lake
shore was looked for. When the Fox
River Valley Electric Railway company
decided to drop negotiations for building
q road, Supt. Holcomb stated that he did
not believe it was possible to interest
capital in the building OF Ridge road
line and did NOT think that the road
would ever be built. Besides the beauti-
full groves, parks and other attractions
along the lake shore the state hospital
would alone be an incentive that could
not be overlooked by the interurban pro-
motors. Although the Traction company
has repeatedly denied that any attempt
toward compromise would be made
with the valley company to secure a
line over the lake shore road. that seems
to be the most feasible plan. and the
popular desire is for a lake shore road

Maries was arrested OH the night of
the Prinslow murder on Brook street,
where for time he evaded the police by
a clever move in lodging out of u saloon.
He was taken to the station and there
told the officers that he wanted to leave
town and that he was just little drunk
and asked to be let off. The chief Of
police let him go the next morning, as
there was nothing to hold him for, with

Dubuque, Ia, April IA Special. l.
Local police are convinced that the suS-
pect under arrest here is the same who
is wanted for the murder of Policeman
PrinSlow in Fond du Lac. Marshal
Morgan on Thursday evening received y
telegram from the Wisconsin sheriff ask
ing for Il full description of the prisoner,
who is known as Shorty Providence,
particularly inquirins if he had any bull
under the chin. The local officers
on receipt of the telegram took
Shorty" from his cell and told him
what they wished to learn. They asked
him if he had any scars on his body and
he replied that he had none. The officers
then stripped the prisoner and found a
deep scar near the knee of one leg where
Il bullet had made a furrow. On the
other leg was another scar that was not
so distinct. Under the chin was n scar
left by 4 cut. The latter could only be
seen by raising the prisoners head. Mar
shall Morgan wired Il full description of
the prisoner to the Fond du Lac sheriff
and later received reply to hold the
man. The sheriff stated that the district
attorney was out of the city and no legal
steps toward getting the requiSitiou pa
perS could be taken until his return. The
marks found on the prisoner Thursday
night. the absence of a finger. his size
and appearance tally to dot with the
description of the man the Wisconsin Off
GERS want. In fact the prisoner has adj
mitted he was in Fond du Lac the night
of the murder.

Frank Austin, superintendent of the

BY the use of his invention coaltar is
burned. giving off Il tremendous heat 1t
gives off practically no smoke and no
more tiue deposit than other fuel, and it
means the saving of many dollars in fuel
bills. He calls it Austin'S oNyhydrogen
burner. He figures that 125 gallons of
coaltar are equal TO two and one-half
tons of coal The process is very simple.
The tar Is fed into the furnace under
pressure, combined with steam; heat
transforms it into gas and in that shape
it becomes fuel
