Saves Life of White Fawn.

Chippewa Times: Charles Liddell,
OF Arson, has the distinction OF being
the lawful owner of white deer, the
only one in captivity in Wisconsin,
and one OF the very few at large in the
great state. 1t is a fawn probably
four months old, and its color is as
white as the driven snow.
Mr.. Liddell secured the fawn in the
woods near Holcombe about two
weeks ago. He was running lines for
the John Gates Land Co. when the fawn
ran up to him and fell from exhaustion
at his feet. A second later a large
gray wolf came up. 1t had been in
pursuit of the fawn and no doubt
would have got it had it ran much fur
Their. Mr.. Liddell had no protect o,
but at the appearance OF the wolf he
became somewhat excited and by
throwing his compass at it and shout
ing managed to drive the beast away.
He has obtained permission from State
Warden Overlook to keep the beautiful
animal and will exhibit it at street
fairs and shows.

Old Soldier Dead.

Prairie du Chen Courier, Aug. IL:
Michael Martell, the old pensioner
and q. A. r. veteran, died, it is
thought, in the electric storm of last
Tuesday night. He left Harper's
Ferry. Iowa, in his clam-boat Tues
gay night, TO return to his camp on
the islands. He was caught out in
the storm and his skitf driven ashore
where his cousin found him dead in
the skiff Wednesday morning. There
were no marks of violence on the
body, and the coroner reported acct
dental death. His death might have
been caused by lightning without
leaving marks on the body. Martell
was we'll known here. The funeral
was under the auspices of the G.. A.
r., at St. Gabriel's church on Thurs
day morning, Aug. 6. He was 81
years of age and has married
daughter in Milwaukee.

The great teacher of mankind drove
the bankers and money changers out
of Gods house. The last Wisconsin
legislature forced the banks down the
the throat OF the church, claiming the
banks to be equal to or even greater
than the church by exempting the bank
buildings from taxation. The poor
man who manages u thousand dollars
worth of property with an eight hun
dred dollar mortgage on it is taxed on
one thousand dollars. The banking
system, in many respects, is a benefit
to the people we admit, but the great
bank buildings throughout the state
should pay their just share of the
taxes, But suppose this is reforma-
tion. Turning the tables on the great
