FIRE WHISTLE BRINGS
OUT FIRE COMPANY
Unknown Person Played New Years Trick
Thursday Eve


Thursday Eve.
An unknown person turned 3in the
fire alarm at HAS o'clock Thursday
night. Consequently the New Year
was heralded by unearth!y gamutS Of
the fire whistle. Even the ward signal
was given. Firemen and other citi.
zens, who were enjoying sweet sleep
or were comfortably seated at their
family hearths, were compelled to
face the dreary cold. After the east
side fire department had in vain
searched the third ward for the fire,
they returned to the station house
not in the best of moods. One fireman
said: SIT was mean trick. If the fire.
whistle had been blown in the custom
airy New Years manner we would have
known, but the sound was chopped
and gave the regular fire signal. A
real fire may break out on some New
Years eve and then a number Of the
men may not heed the whistle"

ARE OPPOSED
TO PARDON
Early Residents Petition Cover
nor Not to Free Marvin
NJ. Fenner.
Csc HEARD BY GOV.
LA TOILETTE JAN. |
Fenner's Plea Is That the MUIR
der was Committed in
Heat Of Passion.

A petition for pardon OF Marvin
NJ. Fenner, who is serving a life
sentence in the state prison for mur-
dering John l.. HeSler near Auburn
dale, JAN %, 1883, was made before
Gov. La Toilette Friday afternoon. A
short time since Fenner confessed to
the crime to which he pleaded not
guilty twenty years ago The pai don is
asked on the ground that Fenner
committed the deed in the heat of
passion and has already eXpiated his
crime, having served twenty-one years
in prison, which with good behavior
allowance is equal to thirty-nine years,
and that at the most he should not
have been convicted of a more heinous
crime than murder in the second
degree.
Since he has been in prison Fenner
has become a skilled engineer and the
Wells Shoe Manufact uriDg company.
which has had the convict labor con-
tract at the prison for twenty-five
years. has agreed to give Fenner
charge of its machinery in it's new
plant at Fond du Lac if he is par
doned.
The pardon was eloquently advo.
Gated by Herman Fenner, of
Oxford the convict's father, his sister,
Miss Onfe Fenner, and Attorney
Henry f. Cochems, of Milwaukee.
The application was strongly opposed
by Andrew aud George Hesler. of
Westtield, sons of the murdered man,
and Samuel DeMott, the sheriff who
captured Fenner.
A petition, signed by eighty of the
early residents of this city, opposing
the pardon, was sent TO Gov. La
Toilette by Judge John "A. Gaynor.
Judge GaynOr was one of The most
important witnesses in the Fenner
case when it was tried here in May,
1888. He says that the ma ajority of
the people, who remember the details
of the case, are opposed to pardon.
Among the evidence against Fenner
was letter, purported to have been
written to one Iohn Brown, to a
Milwaukee paper. The letter read in
part as follows:
II am the man that killed old man
HeSler. | am a Chicago tough and
you are welcome to catch me if you
can. When they are after Fenner
they are after the wrong man."
Judge Gaynor secured this letter
and number of other letters, known
to have been written, by Fenner BY
careful comparison it was shown
that Brown and Fenner were the
same persons. Among the peculiari-
ties of the Brown" letter and Fen
ner's letters was the spelling OF
Hesler, it being always written,
'Heastlcr." Judge Gaynor asked
twelve different persons to spell the
name and none were found who
spelled the name in that manner
although the majority could not spell
il correctly.

Local Barbers Have Always Maintained

spirit and letter or take a chance of
being barred out OF business. This is
the latest edict of the state board for
BARRIERS and it is announced that after
January l, 1904, rigid enforcement
of the rules will be undertaken. The
commission is given authority to close
shops which fail to- meet. every re-
quirement OF the law and it is threat
ened that this will be done. To the
present time great deal OF leniency
has been exercised owing to the radi-
cal changes which the new law made.

the greatest cause for this. Some
