GORDON H. GLE DEAD.

The people of Wausau who knew
Gordon II. Gile, land they are many
were shocked to learn of his sudden
death which occurred at his home in
Oshkosh on Saturday evening May 10th.
About two weeks ago MIR. Gle visited
Wausau to attend meeting of the
Northern Chief Iron company of which
he was prominent member, and while
here was a guest of Judge Silverthorn
From Wausau he went up to the Goge-
bic range.
Mr.. Gle was in Milwaukee Tuesday
of last week Though not feeling well,
he did not call physician until Friday,
when DR.. I. 2. Russell was summoned.
Medical assistance, however, was use
less against the inroads of heart dis
ease and diabetes. Mr. Gle was a large
holder of stock in iron mines on the Go
gebic range and was generally regarded
as man of great wealth. though living
an transformations life. He was IS years
of age and thirty degree Mason.
He is survived by widow and two
daughters-Mrs g. s. Luscher and Miss
Jennie Gle, two William
Gile of Kansas and Joshua Gile of Iowa.
Funeral took place at Oshkosh at
O'clock this Tuesday afternoon
Judge w. G.. Silverthorn and d. l..
Plumer went down from this city to
attend the funeral.

WORK OF TRAMPS.

Friday afternoon an attempt was
made to wreck train on the North
western at a point just this side of Kelly
station, and had the attempt been made
in the night it perhaps would have been
successful. Conductor McGurran in
bringing his freight train into this city
at about four o'clock was compelled to
come to standstill at a point not far
from the Eau Claire river bridge in
a thick woods, by reason of the
engineer discovering two ties laid
across the track. When found they
were observable for some distance
during the day, bat had they been laid
at the curve further west or had it bgen
at night when the limited trains go
through il is hard to tell what the re-
suits might have been.
This piece of develishness is supposed
to be the work of two tramps, for two
fellows of that stamp attempted to
board q freight train at Kelly at an
earlier hour that day but were put off,
and it is thought they did this for
revenge The law does not provide a
severe enough punishment for such
tieDdS

WILL ORGANIZE

Pursuant to cal there was a meet
ing held Saturday evening by the base
ball enthusiasts of the city at the office
of the register of deeds in the court
house Quite number were present
and the subject of organizing a team
was thoroughly talked over. 1t was
the sense of those present that inasmuch
as Wausau was unable to secure place
in the state league that an independent
team should be organized and that one
that woald make them all hustle 1t
was thought that it would take at least
81, 900 to start things moving, and a
committe consisting of M. q. Bells,
Philip Stadler, Z. G. Kretlow, Jake
Werie and Fred w Kick busch, Jr, was
appointed to solicit subscriptions dur
ing the week and report what progress
had been made at another meeting
to be held Saturday evening. There
is hardly question but what an organi-
cation will be perfected at the next meet
ing, after which the work of getting
material for a team will be commenced
1t is said that quite few business men
had pledged amounts aggregating that
required several weeks ago, and when
the matter is once started others will
fall in line. Nearly every team in the
state league has guaranteed to giveWau-
sau dates and it is expected that this
year there will be revived in Wisconsin
the old time interest that was taken in
the game several years ago and
that every town of any impor-
lance will have nase ball team so
that there is no reason why Wausau
people should not get their moneys
worth of the game.

A BAD NIGHT.

Last Friday night was a bad one for
the disturbance of the electric and teie-
phone wires. 1t had been raining dur

Tisch was startled to find that there was
a connection somewhere in the system
with an electric light wire She at once
called up Pierce Hirsch, Supt., and be
made quick time to the central Office
and disconnected all the lines and then
a search was commenced to ind the
cause of the trouble Near Healey's
livery stable il was discovered that an
electric wire had sagged and come ia
contact with a tree and burned off; the
live end dropped across a guy wire on
one of the telephone poles and every
thing being wet, it gave the telephone
exchange the benefit OF the electric cur
rent. but by the quick work Of Miss
Tisch and Supt., Pierce Hirsch. serious
damage was averted. Another electric
wire had, in the northern part of the
CITY. came 10 contact with the telephone
wire leading to Goodwiliie Bros Office
This did no further damage than 10 burn
out the eompany's telephone. From
eleven o'clock until morning the city
was without telephone service, but Mr.
Hirsch pressed all the mea be could in
10 service aud when the traffic Of the
day ollsned. every telephone was in
w0rki1a. order This was very RAPID
work Considering that every line had
been disconnected
