In the way Of scarecrows, a DeIavan
Lake man will probab!" take ali .,.e-

The name of this inventor is Joseph
klel. His ScarecrOWS are operated by a
windmill, connected with a number of
horse fddles, bells and cans. When the
windmill is in motion the band plays
and there is din that can be heard for
mile. When the apparatus was first
operated ON every bird in the neighbor-
hood took flight, and few have found
their way back. Kiel threatens to run
the machine by electricity if the wind
fails, and all the resorters around
the lake are afraid he will do it.

Charles and Martin KilIawee, Frank
Martell and Fred Vieaux, of Kaukauna,
Sunday night rescued Helen Hart, a
drowning woman, who fought despa-
rately against them. The young men
lay on the canal bank at the first lock
wall. The late hour and her queer
actions attracted their attention, and
Fred VieauX followed her just in time
to see her leap from the foot of the lock
into the basin. Shouting to his compa-
Mons, he rushed in also. She fought in
saneiy against any attempt to save her.
Forming chain t0 the shore at that
place, they succeeded in landing her
safely. No cause other than poor health
can be assigned for the act.
Three hundred lumber pliers working
at the mills of the Marinette Lumber,
Sawyer-Goodman R. W. Merryman and
IL. Witbeck companies went on
strike Monday. They demand an in
crease OF from $1.75 to 81 day, which
the millmen refused. The latter are
trying to run their mills with nonuniOn
labor. The Sawyer-GOodman company
and Marinette Lumber company were
closed tight Monday. The R. w. Merry
man company and II. Witbeck company
secured enough men for partial opera
tions.
The strike. it is feared may affect other
employees in the sawmills. The Memo
m0nee mills are not affected. The de-
mand of the shingle weavers for an in
crease OF 20 cents was granted.
