observation-disclosures Fires.

A writer in the Forester says that
the forest fires in northern Colorado,
which in recent years have denuded
extensive areas, are largely the re-
suit of carlessness on the part of
hunters and campers. During a re-
cent trip through the mountains IL
found three nneXtinguished camp
fires, and by tracing two forest fires
he found that their origin was in
camp fires. These burned areas were
of 100 and 800 acres.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

A shocking accident occurred to
Fred. Borchardt, who lived at Sl9 Lin
coin Avenue, on Wednesday night,
which resulted in his death. 1t seems,
from all the evidence, that Borchardt
went down to the Northwestern depot
and tried to get chance to sleep in
one of the box cars but was refused the
privilege by James O'Brien, the car
cleaner He appeared to have been
drinking and was told that he had bet
ter go home. 1t is thought that Borch-
ardt walked up to the old depot and
perhaps laid down beside the track,
where he dropped asleep and threw his
right arm over the rail and which was
cut off at the shoulder. This happened,
it is thought, when the one O'Clock
passenger passed through the city; at
that time policemen Chellis and Goetsch
were on the line, the former at the
crossing and the latter at the old depot
on the fat, on the outlook for tramps.
After the train had passed, Goetsch
heard groan and soon located Bor.
ehardt. He summoned Chellis and
they carried the wounded man. on a
litter, to the Riverside Hospital where
he died on Thursday afternoon at
o'clock. Deceased was about - years
of age aud was an employee at Good
willie's box factory.

HE WARNED OTHERS
And Them Made the Step Which Lost
Him His Life-Almost Instantly
Killed.

The following, relating to man well
known in this city, was taken from the
Everett (Wash.) Independent of Sept.
9th
'Be very careful, up here, for if you
make a step backward, you will fall
and be killed." was the warning that
James McConkey gave to his fellow
workmen, on the roof of the Robinson
sash and door factory yesterday after
noon In two minutes after giving the
warning, McConkey himself made the
fatal backward step, fell to the plank
ing thirty feet below, and his skull was
so badly crushed that he barely lived
until he was conveyed to the hospital.
Mr.. McConkey came here from Arbor
Vitae, Wis, about three months ago,
and has been employed as carpenter
on various works. He was about 46
years of age and leaves widow and
five small children to mourn his loss.
Deceased was amember of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America and that
order will conduct his funeral from
Jerread's at 3 o'clock tomorrow after
noon. He also carried an insurance of
$1,000 in the Modern Woodmen.
Mr.. McConkey was an old friend of
Samuel Switzer's, and was spoken of
by all who knew him as most amiable
and industrious man, and his tragic
death is universally depIored.

EARNED, NOT BOUGHT.
Such is the Reputation of The Little
Conqueror" IN Wausau.

How hard it often is to earn and
maintain a good reputation, and how
easy it is to lose one. As with a mans
reputation, so it is with other things in
life. Some things achieve a reputation
which stays with them. They are
founded on intrinsic value. They face
the public backed up by honesty, and
work their way quietly but thoroughly.
Wausau people want no better proof of
the merit than is contained in the fol-
lowing experience of citizen:
Mr.. Carl j. Wartmann, of 205 Wash
ington street, with his father, dealer in
meat, poultry, etc., at the above adj
dress, says Il was compelled to take
medicinesa number of times for my
kidneys. ] think that catching cold
going in and out the ice box when
was over heated, may account for the
trouble, for whenever | caught cold it
always settled in my kidneys and
caused lame and aching back. / had

MURDER OR SUICIDE.

/ losing consciousness. There being no
other witnesses at this time the coroner
adjourned the inquest until Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock.
On Saturday the following witnesses
were examined: Mrs Nachtigal, Willie
Nachtigal5 Katie Hussong, Fred Eggers,
Helen and Louise Detienne, Minnie
Monsau, Geo Naeff and VIM. Sloan.
The two Dietienne girls and Minnie
Monsau, domestics of the Sloan House,
and Mr.. Sloan testified as to deceased
working from Friday until Tuesday, on
that evening she left at 10 o'clock. De-
ceased had acted so strangely that the
other girls at the house were displeased
and she was told that she had better 90
home. This was was the last they had
seen of her.
Kate Hussong, aunt of deceased, tes-
titled that she had called on her Tues
day and showed her revolver. The
revolver found was not same as shown
her.
Willie Nachtigal deceased's half
brother said that his. revolver and some
cartridges were missing but that the
revolver found on her person, was not
the one as his had his initials on and
was different pattern.
Fred Eggers said that he was paying
the girl attention, and had been look
ing for her Tuesday night. Other wit
nesses said that they saw him go by the
Sloan house four times and that he
went to the hotel and asked for her and
was told that she had gone home. He
then wenG il search of her and asked a
couple of boys if they had seen any
thing of her. He then claims to have
gone home and retired at 10 o'clock.
The above was all the testimony of
any account. The inquest was adj
iourned until Monday, Sept. nth to
enable the officers to make further in
designations.
The case is a peculiar one and the
officers are trying to clear it up, and
will probably be able to do so at the
continuation of the inquest next Mon
day.
While there are several features of
the case that would indicate suicide,
there are other which makes it appear
that it is murder
The funeral took place on Friday.

Last Thursday morning, at 1870
O'Clock, Edward Rice was driving out
to his farm on the west side. when
south of the fair grounds he discovered
dark object in the bushes, short
distance from the road. He got out of
his rig and made an investigation and
was Mortified to find it the dead body of
woman. He at once drove to the
Wausau Novelty Company's factory
and telephoned the particulars to Coro-
ner Dr. Dickens, who Immediately
drove over and examined the body and
placed man in charge while he en-
panelled a jury, which he did, selecting
the following: James Schneider, j. G.
Smith, Phil. Stadler, Con. Bernhard,
Ed Seim and r. N Larner. The jury
went over and viewed the body. 1t
was lying by the side of path, in a
natural position, with hands by the side,
and in her right hand was a 22-calibre
revolver. Left side of face was on the
ground, and on which side was a great
deal of blood. The woman proved to
be Mrs. Freda Naeff, whose home was
on the west side. Her age is about 90
years. She was the wife of George
Naeff, but they had hot been living to-
gether for some time and divorce pro-
ceedings were pending. Naeff had

for non-support. The jury adjourned
until Friday morning at 10 o'clock.
The body of the woman was taken to
the undertaking rooms of Ritter &
Deutsch.
On Friday morning the coroner's
inquest was held at the Court House.
DR.. Rosenberg was called and testified
that he had held post-mortem exami-
nation and found two bullet wounds in
her head. One over the right temple
which did not go through the skull but
fractured same, and another a little
lower, the bullet passing through the
brain and lodging in the opposite side
of the skull. The DR.. said that the
fracture would have proved fatal with
out the attention of physician. The
other would have necessarily caused
death AS to whether a person could
fire another shot provided the first one
produced the fracture, the DIR. cited a
case of a young man in this city who
had received a similar wound without
