CHILDREN DROWNED.
Two of one Family Meet Death in
Wisconsin River.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Andreysk, who reside about two miles
north of the centre of town, was sad
dened last Tuesday, by the loss of two
children by drowning. John and Mary,
aged respectively thirteen and ten,
years, had gone out into the woods
early in the day foc:.Se purpose of pick
ing berries After filing their pals,
five in number, they ststrted for the city
for the purpose OF ling them. They
were seen to pass through the yards OF
the Wapsau Box and Lumber Co. at
about 2:3l in the afternoon, and go
towards the foot bridge that formerly
spanned the river north of the pumping
station, hst which is now partially des-
troyed. Some time ago . section Of
this bridge was CARRIED away by high
water. and it was never repaired,
thongh it has since been made To serve
the purpose for which it was originally
intended by ladders being built from
the remaining sections down onto q
boom that crosses the river parallel
with it. and IN this way persons could
cross back aud forth. Il is supposed
that the children. when they reached
this boom stick, stopped to play in the
water, when the accident happened
that deprived them of their lives. Ii
was shortly afier the time noted above
that three pals of berries were found
on the boom stick by someone in pass.
ing, and they remaining there for two
hours or more, without anyone calling
for them, the fact excited suspicion in
the minds of the men who were work
ing near by that something was wrong,
The boom crew commenced search,
and shortly after live o'clock Tom
Jolly, the foreman, found the boy, and
short time aftsrward the little girl
was taken from the water Coroner
Dickens, who had been notified, arrived
few minutes after the boy was found.
and attempted the work 0f resuscitas
ton, merely to satisfy those present.
for the evidences of death were too
strongly manifested TO impaTt The hope
that the children could be brought into
consciousness again. Mr.. Dickens de-
eided that an inquest was unnecessary,
and the bodies were removed TO the
home of the parents.
Noon saw the accident and of course
il is rot known how it happened The
children had five pals of berries aud
only three were found on the boom,
therefore this fact has given rise TO the
supposition that the girl fell intp the
river with her pals of berries. and that
the boy. in attempting to save her. was
also drowned There were eleven chill
dren in the family. the two drowned
being born 10 the father by his first
wife. The double funeral was held
Thursday from ST. Michsers Polish
church.

CHILDREN SHOT.


Word reached the city during the
week OF an accident that happened
near Poniatowski. which resulted seri-
ously to two children. 1t appears that
John Wotciekowski, farmer, and his
wife were at work in a field and had
left their children, boy of seven, a
girl of four, and little fellow two
years old, at the house without anyone
to care for them. The father is the pos
SCISSOR of Winchester rifle, and the
eldest boy, thinking it unloaded, took
it down from the wall for the purpose
of examining it. His sister and brother
were then at the pump some distance
away, and the boy in the house raised
the gun, and resting it on the window
sill aimed it at the younger children
and pulled the trigger. A deafening
report resulted, and when the smoke
had cleared away the children at the
pump We're lying on the ground bleed
ing profusely. The parents and Judge
Barrett, of Edgar, who was passing at
the time, came 10 the rescue, and an
Athens physician was summoned, who
found that the bullet had penetrated
and torn away the bone of the boys
ankle, and had also carried away the
muscles in the calf of the girls leg.
The boys foot had to be amputated but
it is thought the girl viii come out all
right.
After witnessing the result OF his
action the older boy became terrified
and ran into the woods and could not
be found until the following day, when
his father found him hid under tie hay
in the barn, where he had crawled dur.
ing the night. The accident is traces
able to the parents, who were at fault
in keeping loaded fire arms in the house
within the reach Of their children.

A dispatch, from Merrill, gives the

it until he sold his interest in 1891. At
that time he removed to Chicago. where
he had resided ever since. He contin-
ued large land owner in Northern
Wisconsin and even today owned
several thousand acres of farm and
timber land.
In 1882 he was married to Miss Nellie
4. Wiley of this city. One son, Harold,
now about IS years old, was born to
MIR. and Mrs Scott. In 1890, Mr.. Scott
was candidate for the state senate,
but was defeated by John Kingston of
Ashland

rill, said to PILOT reporter that one
of the knife cuts penetrated the heart

The people all along the Wisconsin
river valley were startled last Saturday
evening by the announcement that
Walter A. Scott, the well known lum-
herman and railroad president, was
stabbed to death on that afternoon in
his Office in Chicago. Wa,ter Scott was
the oldest SON of the late 7. b. Scott
who built up one of the largest lumber
industries in Wisconsin, operating, the
latter part of his life, at Merrill. Mr..
Scott organized the 7. B. Scott Lum-
Der company, taking in his sons, and
they continued the business for many
years after theil father death. Walter
went to La Crosse to reside and when
he became interested in the Illinois
Steel Wire company, about ten years
ago, he moved to Chicago. He was
very well known to all of our lumber
men, and Mrs. Walter Scott is sister
of Mrs. Ralph Siaymaker, of this city.
The tragedy took place in MIR. Scott's
Office in Chicago, in the Monadnock
building. Walter l.. StebbiDgs, civil
and consulting engineer, had done
some work for the Illinois Wire and
Steel company on which there was
something due. Mr.. Scott asserted
that very poor work had been done
and held back the money.
From the Chicago papers is taken the
following statement made by Stebbings:
II had no intention of killing Scott
/ have no recollection of stabbing him
at all, but guess did ID 10 the fight
! was merely trying to protect myself
from man stronger than !.
II never had any trouble with him
before. He engaged me as supervis-
ing engineer for the additions and i'm
provements to the wire works and we
gave a contract to the Sturtevant coEi-
pany for the heating apparatus. This
was properly installed and the company
had been pressing me to obtain a settle
ment. ! had been paid all but s75 for
my work and l had not intended pre-
senting this claim until the affair was
adjusted
while at the telephone in my office,
the postman brought me in a registered
letter. / saw by the print on the en-
velope that it was from the Sturteyant
concern and when / had hung up the
receiver took up my letter opener and
started with the letter for MIR. Scott's
Office
'On the way, in the hall, Iopened the
letter and when went into Mr. SCOTS
private Office handed him the letter, at
the same time saying it was time that
the bill was paid. | said to Mr. Scott
Here's another letter from the Sturte-
want people demanding settlement.
He replied, Don't you know that con.
tract was not completed p / an
swered, But it is finished
With that Scott jumped up and
kicked me in the hip, swearing at me.
/ started for the door. He followed me
and ! kicked back at him. He then
struck me in the face and on the nose,
kicked me in the shins, broke my collar
in trying TO choke me and tore hole
in my coat.
by this time we were in the outer
office and ! tried to get out of the door,
but he again grabbed me and we fell
against the glass, breaking it.
Il struck him back, hitting him sew
