W. w. Fenlou Of Rt1i11e1a1a-
der. Killed.

w. w. Fenlon, one Of Rhinelander' s
foremost citizens and business men,
was shot and killed at the Rapids
house, Saturday evening by a young
man named j. Bascom Robbins, sales
man for the Chicago Crockery comp
any. Only one shot was fired, the
bullet piercing MI. Fenlon's heart.
He sank to the floor and expired in a
moment.
Robbins entered Fenlon 6 Co.'S
Istore and made a small purchase Of
lone Of the women clerks and made q
resuest Of her to meet him after she
left the store which was resented.
1.-THE conversation was overheard by
MI. Fenelon who drove Robbins out of
the store and pursued him down the
street within a block Of the Rapids
house MI. Fenlon returned to his
store and after closing up, went to
the hotel, and as he entered the office
| Robbins was standing near the desk
and Immediately fired killing him in
stantly.
Nj. Fenlon was one Of Rhinelander's
leading business men and for years
his house has been among the largest
mercantile establishment in Northern
| Wisconsin. He was 40 years Of age
and universally respected and liked.
He leaves a wife and two children. 1t
it is q most deplorable case for all
concerned and is deeply to be regretted
Robbins expressed great regret that
he had killed any one and said he on
y intended wounding or frightening
Nh. Fenlon. He claims he acted in
self defense. Robbins was taken to
Wausau on the evening limited for
safe lzeeping as the citizens OF Rhine
la1dg were greatly excited and at
faYseI heat.

Eagle River.
M the Jefferson Banner.

From the Jefferson Banner.
Upon the invitation of Editor 0. B.
Moon and State Senator, d. E. Rior-
dan, a party of fourteen of us, includ-
ing the correspondents of the three
Milwaukee dailies, branched off and
went to Eagle River over the North
western railway line via Monico juno
tion, arriving there Saturday after
noon. The citizens Of this thriving
place, had raised $500 to entertain US,
and proceeded to give us a thoroughly
good time. We had supper at S. w.
Smiths comfortable hosiery, and af-
ter driving about and viewing several
thousands of acres Of good farming
land adjacent, we were put aboard OF
DR.. w. d, Neyille's fast steam launch
and taken up Eagle river to E. H.
Everett's resort, on one Of a pretty
chain of lakes We found Mr. Ever
EFT most genial host, and a worthy
brother of our good friend, EX-presi-
dent G. H. Everett, Of the Wisconsin
Dairymens' Association. The several
buildings comprising the resort are
built of logs, and are very pictures
quely situated on wooded isthmus
between two handsome lakes. 1t is
only nine hours ride from Milwau-
kee here, and the place enjoys fine
patronage, especially from residents
of the southern states. Editor Moon
and Senator Riordan, assisted by q
committee Of eleven others, with their
wives, left no stone unturned to make
our stay a pleasant one, and will ever
be kindly remembered therefor.
AN OLD EAGLE NEST.
A quarter of mile from 'Everetts'
stands a tall dead pine, in the lofty
crotch of which pair Of bald headed
eagles have reared brood Of young
for over fifty years, so say the neigh
borhood Indians. The nest would
make about an eighth of a cord of
wood, composed of sticks from three
inches through and four feet long,
down to small twigs. This year the
eagles failed to show up. Possibly
one or both were killed. There are q
great many eagle nests along Eagle
rive, / was told.
THE LADIES MAKE GOOD CATCHES.
The fishing at Everett's was superb
Three of our ladies, who went fishing,
pulled each, several Of the scaled
beauties out of the water in an hours
time, and the men had equal luck. In
the afternoon, DR.. Neville and the
committee gave us charming launch
trip through Cranberry and Catfish
lakes, and the stretch of river between
them. Next morning they returned
with the steamer and took us back tc
town. Here we were put into CARR
ages, and started overland for Plum
lake.
TWENTY EIGHT MILE CARRIAGE RIDE
This ride was feature and no mis-
take 1t lasted for five hours, but
despite the newess of the region. thC
roads were as good as the by-roads O
Jefferson county. There are only :
few settlers here as yet, but there viii
soon be more. There are lakes en-
.ough to give every farmer hand
some bit of shore line on which tC
build his own summer cottage latel
on.

A Snap Appointment in Utah.

The tricky appointment of Judge Powers
of Utah to fill the sena torial vacancy caused
by last winters deadlock does not mate
rally affect the political situation His
credentials, in the main. will stand upon
the same basis those of Mr.. Quay whose
right to sit was denied by the Senate at
the last session. The Senate has too fire.
quently affirmed the principle that a COVER
nor cannot appoint to a vacancy caused by
the failure of legislature to act, after it
has had full opportunity, to permit Utah's
representation to be filed by such means
ROW. The Powers case is especially often
sive in that it represents the underhanded
process of appointment so widely condemned
in the Montana case last winter, when Mr..
Clark tried to exchange his impeached Gre
dentials for others by snap resignation.
Such evasions of the plain duty of the state
and ito officials strengthen the popular de-
mand for the direct election of senators.

Deadly Wires.

The most rigid inquiry should be had
into the circumstances of the double cleo
trocution on 7th street last night. The re-
pcrts of the tragedy thus far received sug-
gest that there the grossest careless
ness in the installation and supervision of
the electric wires run into the saloon. 1t
appears that the wires had been most film
silly covered in the beginning and had been
allowed to become exposed to contact
Aside from the constant danger of fire
starting from such source there seems to
have been absolutely no protection to the
people who were required to occupy the
pre- mises. II such things can be despite
the laws and regulations it is time the au-
thorities took notice and adopted stringent
measures to punish all such violations and
To prevent similar lapses In the future.
