ed in . Quarrel Over = Matter Of
DlselpliAe.

Thomas F1aherty. inside steward Of the
Monticello Hotel. Kings highway and
West Pint boulevard. was shot in the face
last night by James Barnes. II years old
a beliboy. The fight occurred In the
servants quarters of the hotel.
The shooting happened shortly after 10
o'clock. and the report Of the revolver
caused intense excitement. The guests
crowded into the halls and made eager In
quiries regarding the disturbance.
Flaherty, who was seriously, but not dam
gerously, wounded. fell to the floor. Several
Of the servants hurried to his assistance,
and with their help he was able to walk to
the office OF Doctor Eugene A.. Scharff, No.

Doctor schartf temporarily dressed the

An examination there developed the
course OF the bullet. which had entered at
the chin and lodged back Of the Tongue;
and was arrested without dificulty by Ser
geant Sullivan and Patr0lman Mccarthy Of
the Eighth District. He. was locked up.
by the police.
F1aherty was able to talk last night at
the City Hospital. He said he was making
his regular rounds when he discovered
Barnes on q floor where he considered the
bellboy had no right.
His presence there" continued F1aherty,

and / accordingly ordered him away. We
had some words, but as the boy started
toward the door I decided that he would
follow orders. .
II was walking down the hall when I
heard footsteps behind me-. and turned in
time to see Barnes level a revolver at my
head. ] ducked, but he was too quick. and
the ball, which was Of a 22-caliber. struck
me in the face"
Barnes stated that he was being pursued
when he fired and that he shot his pursuer
with the thought of protecting his wi life.
Mr.. Flaherty ordered me to 60 to the
cashier and get my time telling me to
stay away from the hotel altogether. 1
was in the helps department in the base
more in the wrong in being down there
than other bellboys. While I knew It was
contrary to the wishes OF my employers to
hours I did not like to be ridiculed.
II was told to rush on n I replied
that I would 60 when I was ready. where
upon MI: F1aherty sprang Mt me. I Ned and
was followed. I often carry a pistol to
protect myself from impositton. and when
/ found that I wal in danger Of getting
thrashed or perhaps beaten to death, I drew
my revolver and fired behind me-. with no
particular intention of hitting Mr.. Fla
herty."
Barnes will be held pending the result
OF his victims INJURIES.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR TOPIC
For January 1s-Endeayorers in
Training for Church Work.
BY AMOS r. WELLS.

BY AMOS II. WELLS.
The comparison Of the Christian Endeav-
or Society to a training school for the
church Is one that is often made, and al
ways Httngly. However far individual So
cieefes may fall below the ideal. that is the
ideal.
A trafnins school for church work is i'm
~pefaiSely needed. The old apprentice sys.

before the mast. generals must start IN the
awk.ard squad. enssnssrs must rf nrst sb serve
service without training.
{ How: and for what does our society train
[ The pledge trains to ndelity. and perse-
verance in Christian work. The prayer

With the passing of the pine tree
ana the removal of the lumbermen and
snanty boys to newer and greener
nelos, attention has been turned to 9TH
er channels and the country now pre-
sents an entirely new aspect. Each
/ week sees new settlers coming here
with their household Gods and farming
paraphernalia, and thus is the long
talked of exodus into the fertile lands
OF the north coming about. Much has
been said and much has been written
OF the probabilities of northern Wiscon-
sin becoming an agricultural district.
Much more will be said and much
will be written before the obstacles
to successful farming in this section of
the state are entirely removed. But
developments of the past seven or eight
years show what can be done in that dir
ection. Potatoes and all other root
crops thrive and do well here. A yield
OF 100 BUSHES of potatoes to the acre
being about the average yield in a
fair year. Oats, wheat, barley, rye and
other grains can be raised and all gar
den truck does exceptionally we'll.
The natural lay of the land and the
many lakes and watering places pecul.
liarly adapts this country to hay raising
and stock growing. The marshes and
low places abound in the luxurious blue
grass which often attains height of
fonr and five feet.
The Blue Grass Land Co. is placing
large number of settlers on their
lands in the vicinity of Pioneer lake
| this summer. These settlers are not
the average class that proceeds set
lement in new country, but are thrift
ty, hardworking and enterprising
ing people who are bringing their fam
lies and households, cattle, horses and
farming implements and are coming tc
build homes and fourishing farms in
the land of Villas.
With the opening up of this section
of the state to settlement comes ques.
ton that confronts every new farming
country and that is the matter of an
adequate market, This is a question
of no small Importance and can be met
only through the thrift and enterprise
of our business people. Schools and
churches are also important factors.
but the matter of an ample market for
the products of his farm should be the
first inducement to the settler in new
country. This is bound to become q
rich farming district and as the ag-
ricultural resources develop and grow,
so should the marketable facilities pro-
portionately increase. Encourage
home enterprise by buying at home
and by this means encourage the farmer
by supplying him with suitable mar
ket.

He loved her devotedly. He was al

pain at times.
He passed it off with rueful smile

gave him such an arch look, and that
after all, he was a pretty good sor'

it patiently when she referred to his

A Good Beginning.

Wausau Wis, April Is. The city
council has voted to grant a franchise
for thirty6ve years to the Wisconsin
Valley Railway & Power company to
conduct an electric railway line. The
company has now secured the same
rights in each town between here ana
Stevens Point through which the pro-
posed railway will travel, also one town
south of the latter city. Negotiations
are now in progress for the survey OF
the line.
It now begins to look as though q
trolley line up the Wisconsin Valley was
an assured fact. Time solves many diff
ficult problem and the building OF an
eletric line up the Wisconsin valley Is
bound to come.
