DIED AT HOSPITAL.

About month ago there came to this
city an old man claiming Nation as his
home. He did odd jobs about the city
until about two weeks ago, when he
went to work for Michael McFadden' in
the saloon of the latter on the west side
boarding with the family. He gave his
name us VIM. McCrossen and appeared
in all respects cOmpanionable old
man. He was industrious, and per
formed his work with care, but few
days ago was taken sick with what
appeared to be pneumonia. : McFadden
procured medicines for and attended
him until he had recovered, when he
left the McFadden place, and later
applied on two different nights at the
city jail for lodging. The last evening
he was there he was again taken sick,
and Chief Anderson summoned DR..
Spencer On Saturday afternoon DR..
Spencer concluded that it would be
better to take him to the Riverside hos
pital for treatment, and so summoned
the ambulance. He walked out onto
the side walk to that vehicle without
much assistance, but when stepping
into the same a weakness Overcame
him and he would have fallen back
ward but for those around him. Upon
reaching the hospital he was placed in
bed but about twenty minutes later he
was again taken with weakness and
expired.
A'ittle is known of the man before he
came to Wausau. He claimed to have
a family living in South Kaukauna with
whom he had not resided for some time
He was upwards of go years of age, and
up to the time of being taken sick APP
peared in good health. Upon arriving
here he was scantily dressed and ap,
peared in destitute circumstances, and
what money he had earned while here
he spent in about three days before bis
death After leaving McFadden's place
he wandered around to different saloons
on the west side and drank freely, and
this was probably responsible for his
death
LATER-Deceased's wife arrived in
the city yesterday and in the evening
took the remains to Kaukauna..

terday morning. For month a crew
of men has been at work on the large
store, belonging to j. A. Jones, on
Third street, formerly occupied by An
ton Kryshak, putting it in shape for this
firm and yesterday, when it was opened,
it was a great revelation to those
who had not been in to watch
the progress of the work. 1t is very
handsomely arranged and as Mr.. Neu
ling is an old and experienced hand at
the business he had it arranged just to
suit himself. Mr.. Neulipg, the part
ner who will have entire charge of and
will conduct the business, has lived in
Wausau fifteen years and during that
time has been engaged in the care and
sale of dry goods and he is in every
way fitted to conduct a first class dry
goods establishment. The opening day
was good one, the store being we'll

MARQUARDT'S FARM.

On Sunday afternoon last we had an
opportunity to visit the farm of Sheriff
Aug. Marquardt, and found as good
farm as there is to be seen in Marathon
county. The farm is located on top of
the hill Just west of the city. Mr. Mar
quardt settled on this piece of land 26
years ago when that portion of the city
was Wilderness He had quite tract
of land at that time but since has from
time to time disposed of portions until
he now has but 10 acres left, all under
cultivation. On this farm there is some
of as good blooded stock as can be
found in the county. He has fine
horses, large herd of Jerseys and
sheep, swine and poultry galore Mr..
Marquardt is one of those who believe
that the sheep industry in this section
is bound to become a paying one in
time He is constantly adding new
breeds to his flock, and has put a great
deal of money into purchasing these
animals. He at present has a great
many lambs that a school girl would
cal "cute," and which would compare
favorably with the OF Mary took to
school.
