The old dry grass in the cemetery
caught fire some days ago and the fire
ran through the lots, doing consider
able damage. The Polish cemetery
suffered worst, the fence was partially
destroyed and many of the tomb stones
blackened and wooden crosses. charred.
The stage of water in the Wisconsin
river and its tributaries is at present
very good for driving purposes and
should nothing unforeseen occur it is
expected that the mill owners of this
city who have drives on the way will
get their logs in about months time.

What might have been a destructive
fire Tuesday evening at the armory
was averted by the attention of one of
the members of Co. G being called
to smoke issuing forth from the
refreshment room. The company was
just leaving the armory for an hours
drill upon the street when the smoke
was discovered. A lot of old bunting
that had been left in the above named
room had caught fire in some manner,
probably from lighted cigar that had
been dropped, and was blazing tiercely.
As it was little damage was done but it
might have been a serious affair.

game warden at present, one who is
not afraid to enforce the law, if we are
to believe the accounts given us by
those who have been in the vicinity of
fish streams. Sunday there were large

country from town and upon their re.
turn told of the most fragrant violations
of the law. On the Eau Claire, on
Sandy and on the Wisconsin between
here and Brokaw were numbers OF
fishermen to be seen using dip nets and
seines and were making large hauls
each time a net was cast. 1t is matter
that should be carefully investigated
and the offenders brought to justice
