MANY GUARDS FOR FAIR.
Marshal Fisher Will Have 100 Officers
to Watch Crowds on Grounds.


to Watch Crowds on Grounds.
Plans for policing the state fair
grounds while the big agricultural ex-
position will be open will be carried
out on a scale more complete than
ever before.
In addition to the forty special state
fair guards enrolled for daily service
by Marshall Grant Fisher of James
vile, one-half of whom will be mount
ed, platoon of twenty-five city police
will be detailed by Chief Jansen for
daily duty on the fair grounds, and
Sheriff Cary will be requested to
swear in a force Of special deputies, to
act in conjunction with the other arms
of the law
In all about 100 guardians of the
peace will be constantly on the fair
grounds.
The indications are that this years
state fair will attract to Milwaukee a
record breaking attendance from all
parts of the state. The enormous crops
now being harvested are partly re-
sponsible for the feeling of prosperity
in the agricultural counties of the
state. The unusual program of amuse-
ment features which the management
has secured for day and evening, and
the fact that $4,000 is offered in pre-
miums and purses, $4,000 being al
lotted to the speed department., has
been advertised broadcast over the
Il IL,
nounced a one-fare rate for the round
trip.
The police system devised and car
ried out by Marshal Fisher will De
adequate to take care of the biggest
crowds that can be brought to the
grounds. The entire city detective
force of Milwaukee will be on hand
and plain-clothes men from the Chica-
go police force will help to pick up
Chicago crooks. The police depart
ments of Racine, Madison, La Crosse.
ST. Paul and Minneapolis also will
have representative reporting to Mar
shall Fisher each day.
For the entertainment of the crowds
the management has planned vaude-
vile performance to fill in the time be-
tween the events on the race track.
Among the features will be a troupe
of Bedouin Arabs. Other features will
include a troupe of trained babboOns
Wahlund and Tekla, the strong man
and woman, and Dode Fisk's educated
horse. There will be balloon races
each day and many other attractions.

MOB ATTACKS MONTANA JAIL.
Angry Crowd of Men Attempt to Lynch
James F. Barnes,


Butte, Mont, Sept. IA mob OF one
hundred men early yesterday made
determined but unsuccessful attempt
to lynch James f. Barnes, who late
Sunday night shot and killed Patrick
Hanley as the result of a slight argu-
ment. The Jail was taken by storm,
the would-be lynchers commanding the
broad stairway leading to the doors OF
the court house, and with drawn pis-
tolls firing over the heads of the crowd
and the police who attempted to enter.
inside a mob battered at the big steel
doors, but without success. In the
upper corridors were stationed a num-
Der of deputy sheriffs with rifles and
revolvers, and this tended to hold the
angry crowd back. The mob finally
sent for dynamite, but those dis
patched on the errand failed to return
within an hour and the ringleaders
abandoned the attempt and were per-
suaded by the police to dispense.

TWENTY LIVES
LOST IN STORM
MOST DESTRUCTIVE GALE LAKE
SHIPPING HAS KNOWN IN
YEARS.
LOSS ABOUT HALF A MILLION
RECORD OF DEATH AND DE-
STRUCTloN MAY REACH GREAT
Err PROPORTIONS.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept 6. = Eighteen
or twenty lives were lost and property
valued at half million dollars was
destroyed in the furious storm that
swept over Lake Superior Sunday and
Sunday night. The gale was the most
destructive to Lake shipping that has
been experienced in many years. Be
sides the wreck of the steamer Sc
vOna, which broke in two on Sand ISL
their lives, and the Pretoria, which
was sunk off Outer island with loss
of five of her crew. it is believed that
the schooner Olive Jeanette has sunk
with her crew of seven men. The
schooner Pretoria was the largest sail
sing ship on fresh water. She
Broke Loose From the Steamer
that was towing her during the storm,
and yesterday Capt. Wandig of the
steamer Mary Boyle reported that the
spars of a sunken three-masted
schooner could be seen short dis
lance east of the outer island of the
Apostle group, about 100 miles from
Duluth. The Olive Jeanette, it is be-
lieved went to the bottom about ten
miles from Portage Entry. A mass OF
wreckage was sighted by the steamer
Juniata near that point, and although
the identity of the ship has not been
completely established, there seems
little doubt that it was the Olive
Jeanette. This schooner was in tow
Of the steamer L. r. DOty when the
latter vessel was lost with her entire
crew on Lake Michigan few years
ago. The storm at times reached the
proportions of a hurricane and the
stanchest new steel vessels were
&0rced
To Run for Shelter
in a more or less battered condition.
The new steel steamer Stack Roma
assived at the 500 on her first trip
with her hatch covers so badly sprung
that water poured continually into the
hold One of the crew was washed
over BOARD The whaleback steamer
Samuel Mather also lost one of her
crew overheard. The terrific battering
the steel steamers received in the
storm gives rise to the gravest fears
for the safety of many wooden ships
which have not yet reported, and the
record of death and destruction may
reach much greater proportions than
the present estimates. The monetary
loss of the Sevona is placed at S170,-
600, while that of the Pretoria is esti-
mated at $150,000.
The storm, which was the most Sc
we're on Lake Superior in years, badly
damaged the lighthouse and break
water at Portage Entry and the light
house was blown into the lake.

POWELL LOSES HIS OFFICE.
La Crosse Engineer Ousted After Sen
sationaI Council MEETING.

"a crosse Engineer OuStSu AIlST 0ci-
sationaI Councii Meeting.
Frank c. Powell, whose sensational
suit against l.. P. Phillippi, city di
rectory publisher, charging the aliena
ton of his wife's affections, which led
her to commit suicide April 26, was
ousted from the office of city engi-
neer by the La Crosse council. Re-
turning suddenly from Racine, Mayor
William Torrance blocked a plan to
elect Otto Mueller, city craftsman, to
the office of city engineer, and Gre
ated a sensation by turning Powell
down and nominating w. S. Woods,
assistant city engineer, said to be
Powell's candidate. Shortly after Mr..
Powell brought the $4,000 suit
against Philippe the council passed
resolution asking him to resign on the
ground that he did not devote his time
to city work. He refused. The anti
Powell faction called a meeting for
Thursday night, while Mayor Tor
rance was away. The members in
tended to ask a temporary chairman
to appoint Otto Mueller, thus BUSTING
Powell, who was holding over in Office.
Mayor Torrance appeared in the coun-
Gil chamber at the last moment. He
nominated Woods, though it was
thought he would support Powell.
