John Anderes commenced work
Thursday morning on the Stinchfeld
creek sewer. A crew of men is clean
ing out the creek bed from the mouth
up and sewer will be laid from the river
up the creek distance of 1000 feet. 1t
will be eight feet in diameter which is
thought will be sufficiently large to
carry off all the water. 1t is to be COM
pleted by November 1st, with time
allowances for bad weather.
A decision has been rendered by the
officials of the Wausau land office
which practically gives the Beaver
Dam cotton mills and the citizens of
Beaver Dam the right to maintain a
dam at the foot of Beaver Dam lake.
1t appears that one, Chas. Hoffemeistor,
entered several islands in the lake as a
homestead and the building of the dam
overflowed the islands. 1t was held
that he made the entry purely for spec
ulatiVe purposes and not for a home;
that it was obvious that no one could
make a living off the islands without
draining them, and that cannot be done
without lowering the dam, which would
damage the manufacturing business
that has been carried on for years.
l.. X. Wright is at present confined
to his home, having received cut in

nece ssitate his laying up for some time
He had that day been out in the country
collecting cream and was coming down
the Franklin street hill when his horse
began kicking. He had a large can of
cream in the front of the buggy and the
horse kicked the cover off the can, and
then took fright. Mr.. Wright jumped
out of the buggy to catch the animal by
the head and quiet it. He fell and was
dragged along some distance before he
succeeded in bringing the horse to a
halt. While being dragged over the
rough ground he received long, deep
cash in his leg below the knee cap
presumably cut by sharp stone. Dr.
ID. L. Jones dressed the wound.
John Wehlich, a town of Texas
charge at the Marathon county poor
house, came down town last Wednes-
day during the absence of the superin-
tendent, Fred Rienow, secured load
of "tanglefoot'' and returned towards
evening. Because Mrs. Rienow objected
to his going in the dining room before
supper was ready he got abusive and
chased her through the kitchen. He
then attempted to take possession of
the house, but the superintendent ar
irving home about that time, took
matters in hand and ousted Wehlich.
Next day he made an attempt to get
back But was unsuccessful. At present
he is stoppi1 = with bachelor friend
up near the lincoln county line. The
superintendent has had great deal of
trouble with the man for infractions of
the poor house rules
Richard Belitzki, of Athens, is re-
posing in the county Jail for ten days
because of his having ignored the law
which requires working BARRIERS to
obtain license. He has until recently
been working in the shop of Emil
Schroeder but few days ago quit his
employer and opened a shop of his
own. He alleges that Schroeder was
jealous of him and because he had no
license, saw an opportunity to vent his
spite. M H. Whitaker, of Janesville,
secretary of the state barbers' board,
was communicated with and he advised
the arrest of Belitzki. When the latter
was brought before the Athens justice
he was found guilty and sentenced to
pay fine of S25 and costs or go to Jail
for ten days. He thought he could not
make $3.50 day at his trade, so chose
the jail sentence. He was brought over
Friday by Constable Dan Bilsie.
Michael Schwarm, who resides on a
farm in the town of Hewitt, was badly
injured Friday. He was hauling hay

up the hay rack he climbed up on the
load to drive the horses home, but fell
off and the wheels passed over his body
Four ribs were broken and one of them
penetrated the lung. The flesh was
also torn from one of his shoulders.
