Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1903-03-03


Thursday morning at about 400
O'Clock while a freight train on the Mil
waukee road was pulling out of Knowl-
ton, fiangc on car wheel broke
which threw the car off the track.
This occurred at the bridge which
crosses the Wisconsin river, and as the
derailed car struck the trestle work of
the bridge it tore up cross timbers,
which derailed other cars, the result
being that the supporting timbers were
broken, allowing four cars to pile up in
heap, three on one side of the track,
one on the other A wrecKing crew
came up from Babcock, and after work
ing until from four O'clock in the after
noon, succeeded in clearing the track.
The morning passenger trains met at
the scene of wreck and after transfer
ing passengers, baggage, and mail re-
turned to their places of starting, but
were delayed several hours in so doing
An examination of the broken fangp
showed that it was an old break and
was considerably rusted.
Dir. Lorenz of Vienna, the famous
specialist, who has won fame through
out the land by his wonderful opera
tions in bloodless surgery, is singing
the praises of Americans in his ma
tive country. The beauty, intelligence
and energy of the American woman is
one of the things which mast attracted
his attention while here. One thing
which baffied his understanding WAS
the rugged American constitution up
on which high living at all
hours, composed of indigestible viands
apparently had no bad effects. and he
is now planning tour ofinyestigation
to learn, if possible. why the Americans
have digestible organs like goats, os-
triehes and others tin-can eating an
mals.-Ex.
There is on exhibition at the Bells
house a grenade which was brought
from Cuba by DIR. A. w. Trevitt upon
return from that island recently. Ii
was found in dungeon in the Spanish
prison of Morror castle at the entrance
TO Havana harbor, and perhaps has
some historical value attached to it Ii
is claimed that it is more than l50 years
old and it looks it, for it is badly de.
cayed with rust. The grenade is now
rta LOT. H,,A
formerly much used by the countries OF
southern Europe The one Mr. Trevilt
found is about two and one-half inches
In diameter, and hollow. There is a
fuse hole in it of about quarter of an
inch in width
