On the third day of the month, or

Well Known Organizer Finds
Outlook Here Very Enc0ur-
aging, However.
CLUB FORMED SUNDAY .
--MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
Organizer Klein May Be Chosen
to Debate With Congressman
j. 7. McClary.

Nicholas Klein, of Cincinnati, Ohio
an organizer of the Socialist party, was
in the city Saturday, Sunday. Monday
and today, with view of organizing
a branch OF his party in this city.
Mr.. Klein says that Grand Rapids
and Lacrosse were the only two cities
in the state that were considered
''hard nuts" by the leaders of the
Socialist party. The people in these
cities, it had been found, were very
set in their ways and hard to convert
from certain acquired or inherited
beliefs.
Mr.. Klein's four days visit in this
city has shattered this notion, how
ever. He says that he has been re-
ceived very cordially by the prominent
men and that large majority of them
are much interested in the teachings
of the Socialist party.
When Mr.. Klein arrived in this city
he found only two men who could be
really called staunch Socialists-now
there are twenty and the number
promises fair to be doubled in a very
short time.
A meeting of the Socialists was
held Sunday and plans for an active
campaign were discussed.
Mr.. Klein says that Congressman
James T. McCleary, of Minnesota, has

BURNING TO
DEATH OF CHILD
Mrs. W. W. Simmons Lett Her
Child Alone While She Went
to the Pasture.
SERIOUSLY BURNED In
TRYING TO SAVE CHILD
Believed That Child Had Been
Playing With Fire in
Mothers Absence

Word has reached this city of the
burning to death of the 3-year-old
child Of Wilford w. Simmons and the
almost fatal burning Of Mrs. Simmons
on the fainily's farm in the town of
Beaver, Clark county.
Mrs. Simmons left her child alone
10 the house while she went to take
care OF some cattle in the pasture.
When she returned her home was in
flames. Remembering that her child
was in the house, she rushed to it's
rescue. She attempted to enter the
kitchen door but was driven back by
the flames. She went to the front
door and succeeded in gaining ad-
mission. She tried to gain admission
to the kitchen but the flames and
smoke in the hall were so powerful
that she was compelled to leave her
child to its fate.
Mrs. Simmons, fought heroically
until neighbors came to her assistance.
The charred remains of the child
were later found, the limbs having
been burned away.
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated but it is believed that the
child had been playing with the fire
during the mothers absence.

FIRST BASKET
BALL GAME LOST
Contest between the High Schools
OF This City and Marshfield
Friday Evening.
GAME ENDS In 28 TO 10
in FAVOR OF VISITORS
In Second Half Grand RAPIDS
Players Came Within One
of a Tie Score.

The first basket ball game took
place Friday evening in the Lincoln
building between the Grand Rapids
and Marshfield high school teams.
The game ended in favor of Marsh
field, the score being % to 10.
During the first half the home team
played poor game, which was due to
some extent TO lack of basket ball
experience on their part. In the
second half, however, they played
splendid ball and held the Marshfield
team within one Of tie score.
When it is considered that the
Grand Rapids high school team up to
three weeks ago never saw a basket
ball game and that the Marshtield
team was composed of old experienced
players, much credit must be given
our boys; if they improve as rapidly
as they have winning team can be
expected by the end of the season.
The Marshfield team played a fine
game. The players were quick in
passing and quite accurate in throw
ing baskets. Thomas and Witte
played fine game, the latter having
the credit of making most of the
baskets.
The game was nice one to witness,
due to the gentlemanly conduct Of the
players and the audience. 1t was
good, clean contest. A large crowd
attended the game and quite sum
was netted for the athletic aSsocia-
tiOn as result.
A reception followed the game. It
was held in the gymnasium which
was tastily decorated with high
school colors. The event proved
great success and much credit must
go to the high school girls, interested
in basket ball, for they spent great
deal of their time in preparing for it.
Ice cream and cake were served.

FEUD RESULTED
in A TRAGEDY
August Shuttenbers Killed His
Br0ther=in=laW, John Gorskie-
wiez, Friday.
CLAIMED ACT WAS
DONE In SELF=DEFENSE
Family Quarrel Began in 19Ol--
Shuttenberg Surrendered
Himself at Once.

August Shuttenberg shot and
killed his brother-in-law, John Gorski-
| wiez, in the town of Pike Lake,
Marathon county, Friday morning as a
result of feud. GorskiewieZ, it is
| said, had repeatedly threatened to
kill Shuttenberg, who claims he acted
in self defense. He gave himself up
OF the authorities.
Shuttenberg said that he was going
out with his team and sleigh to get a
load of wood. When but a short
distance from his home he heard
voices calling from behind, which he
recognized as the voices OF John and
Frank Gorskiewiez He paid no at
tention to them and continued on his
way. He had gone but a short dis
tance when he was intercepted by
them, Frank appearing in the road
ahead of the team and John coming
I'D behind. Frank took the horses by
the head and Shuttenberg then took
up his shotgun. Frank retreated at
once.
Frank, however, is said to have
begun threatening to kill Shuttenberg.
He had an ak in his hand and began
chopping Shuttcnsberg's coat which
was lying in the bottom Of the
sleigh. While John was in the act of
chopping up the coat, Frank yelled:
$50 for Shuttenberg: cut him up;
this is his last day" John then ap-
preached Shuttenberg, all the while
Frank urging him to ''go after him
aud chop him up" Shuttenberg
warned them not to come nearer,
saying: "If [ have done any wrong to
you tell me what it ise and we can
settle it in G different manner"
No attention being paid by John,
Shuttenterg fired the fatal shot.
Shuttenberg claims that he only
wanted to wound his brother-in-law.
During the summer of 1901 Shut
tenberg had made bargain with
Gorskiewlez whereby the latter was to
receive a certain crop of potatoes,
provided he cleared a certain tract of
land. Potatoes promised to be cheap
and Gorskiewiez attempted to gather
the crop he had not yet earned. Mrs.
-Shuttenberg went to the field and
protested. Gorskiewez rewarded her
with a severe beating. 1t is said
that he afterwards ran Shuttenberg
off the farm with pitchfork when
he objected to the removal of the
potatoes
