AUTO PARTIES CONE
TO GRAND RAPIDS

During this most excellent fall
weather, there are a number of auto.
mobile parties that are coming into
the city, either enroute to some other
place, or with this city as their objec.
tive point in the drive. During the
past week there have been no less
than six different auto parties come to
and Rapids, stop over in the city for
dinner, and return the same day.
The distances to neighboring cities
are favorable for this, and auto owners
are taking advantage of the fact.
Among the parties that came here
this past week was one from Stevens
Point composed of A. r. Week and
J. W. Dunegan and Miss Week, Mrs.
c. f.. Edwards and Mrs. T. w.
Brahaney. They came in a big "a
horse power Pope-Hartford car and
dined at the Witter. Another party
from the same city was made up OF
Misses Marcella Foley, Grace Martin,
Martha Jones, Elsie Hanson, and a
chauffuer whose name we were unable
to obtain. Their Car was a q horse
power Buick machine. In similar
car on Thursday came Mayor T. A..
Hanna OF Stevens Point, with Mic
Gross and f. A. Krembs. They stopped
at the Witter. Another car load from
Marshtield came last week, stopping
at the Anderson, and still another
which stopped at the Dixon. A car
load from Wautoma was here last
Sunday visiting persons in the city.
The fine roads into the city and the
fact that we have a nice place to come
to, is inviting for autoiSts.

After two months spent being a Grim

compromising justice, as he terms it,
he is again prisoner, and there will
be no more chance for him to dig his

having been away for nearly two
months, he was captured within three
hours after reaching his place.

timber.
While none of the others were
losers of buildings, crops and timber
were injured, and a just settlement
was made to each of them by the
railway company in proportion to the
damage suffered. Mr.. Smith was
given 81, 800 for his loss. More than
$1,000 was apportioned among the
losers through the efforts of Attorney
w. E. Wheelan, who says the railway
company were very fair and just in
their dealing in the case, and the
only question that arose was the
amount in each case, and this was
easily agreed upon. ALI the property
damaged lies about three miles east
of the city.

VOLUME 4s, NUMBER s3
PROMOTION FOR c. { N.
W. AGENT HERE,

]. G. Willard, the well known agent
of the Chicago and North Western
Railway company at Grand Rapids,
has received fine promotion, and his
many friends in this city will be glad
to hear of it, though they will be sorry
to learn that it will take him from the
city. The advancement accorded him
to Neenah and MenaSha, where he will
have charge of both cities as agent for
the same company. This is one Of the
best railroad positions in the state
outside of the general offices. and Mr..
Willard is fortunate in receiving an
appointment to the place.
Mr.. Willard has been agent for the
North Western company ever since
the road was put through here, having
been the first and only agent for that
company In this city. Nearly three
years he has been here, and has been
an employee such that his company
has given him this fine position in re-
turn for his services. He has become
well and most favorably known in this
city, as has his wife, and both have
many friends here. Mr.. Willard,
while here, became member of the
Masonic order, the Order of Elks, and
OF the Eastern Star. We regret very
much to note that Mr.. Willard must
leave the city, but wish him the best
success in his new position. He left
on Monday to arrange for his taking
charge of the new depot, and Mrs.
Willard plans on going there on We'd
nesday. The new agent is expected
here in Grand Rapids this week.

son that he would kill him il he did.
Vanderhi was afraid the fellow would
carry out his threats, and said nothing.
Mcpherson used chair leg and case
knife which he had shaped into saw,
to dig his way out through the brick.
The hole through which he made his
escape, was when completed, only the
size of five brick, and was about
twenty feet sabove the ground. He
tied the sheets on his bed together,
however, and fastening them within
the Jail, slid down to the ground. He
got away about three O'Clock in the
morning after almost having decided
to give over the attempt for that
night.
After having got clear of the Jail he
crossed the river at the Green Bay
and Western railroad bridge and on
the west side started for his home on
foot. He Travelled to point near his
home and lay all day in the woods,
waiting for evening 10 come, that he
might make his way to the house
without being seen. He saw that his
home was surrounded by the Sheriff'S
guard. but after it grew dark. he
crawled on hands and knees to the
house. and indiug hole under the
building, he crawled in there. Some
of the officers were in the room above
MIN, and after listening for while,
he concluded that his wife must have
gone to MarShfield.
Arriving at this conclusion. he
crawled out past the guards again.

After work there had ceased he deter
mind to go west to the coast. Wish.
ing to get his affairs in Wood county
arranged so that he could stay away
he came back in the dead Of the night
beating his wa7 again. BY accident
he was met by man that knew him,
upon bis return, and the fact of his
arriving was made known to Deputy
Sheriff Thompson of Marshfiield.
With two other men TO assist him,
Sheriff Thompson started at once for
McPherson's home, arriving there
about four O'clock in the morning.
only hour and a half after McPher-
son himself got there. The officers
waited without the. house till some
one stirred within. A light was
struck in the building before it was
yet daylight.
1t proved to be the breakfast fire,
lighted by Mrs. Mcpherson. After
lighting the fire, she came out of doors
and was held by the officers in watt
ing. Mcpherson heard the men come
inte the house, and getting his rifle,
cooked and loaded it, ready to resist
capture, the men heard the fellow
preparing the gun to shoot, and called
to him that he had best come down
and give himself up, else they might
lind it necessary to kill him. Seeing
that he was cut of from his escape,
he came down the stairs under the
sheriffs' revolvers and surrendered.
Since being brought to the county
jail again, he has been kept locked
within his cell, and he is fed within
the narrow room that will continue
to hold him close prisoner till the end
OF his sentene. He will be held in
close confinement till the end of his
term. Sheriff Little is determined
that no careleSSneSs will give the man
a chance to repeat his feat of escaping
from the Jail. Since his last contine-
ment, he has been very talkative. aud
likes to tell OF his experiences. He
told the sheriff that he was sorry he
had tried to escape, and that he
wouldn't be foolish enough to try it
again, if he was allowed the freedom
OF the corridor again. He thinks now
that he is thorough "bad man., and
that his experiences are hair-raising
stories, while in fact they are but the
results of his own foolishness, and but
reflect discredit upon what little worth
there is in the man.

The playing on both sides was good.
For the local team, Nimptz made
some fine gains, and Mccarthy and
Bremen did some fine work. Young's
nose became swelled after being hit,
so that he was prohibited from get

position would have been played well
during all the game. A return game
may be played now on neutral grounds.

GOOD FOOTBALL GAME.
wausau and Grand Rapids Play
An Even Game Sunday.

A first class 1OOG Dall game Wa
played here Sunday between the City
team of Grand Rapids and team re
presenting the city forces of Wausau
Though both sides fought steady fol
both halves, and both scored, no one
side could make enough to Overbal
lance the other and thus gain the win
ming. The same two teams played a
week ago at Wausau, and at that time
the Grand Rapids team was beaten by
a score of 60. Determined to return
the compliment to them the Wausau
team was brought down to this city,
and it was due only to little poor
judgment that the score was not
turned in favor of the home team.
Grand Rapids won the kick off, and
on the first scrimmage got the ball on
d tumble. Grand Rapids held the ball
for two downs and then lost it on a
tumble and by means of line play
was held for downs. WauSau obtain
ing the ball, punted it about twenty
five yards, and Mccarthy returned it
short distance; Nimptz took 1T for
10 yards in an end run. Again Grand
Rapids fumbled. and Wausau got the
ball. Trying to make line plays show
up gains for two downs, and seeing
that Grand Rapids defense was too
strong for this, the WauSau team tried
a fake play and it was successful for a
touchdown. They kicked the goal
and the score stood at 60. Brennan
got the ball on kick off and advanced
it out ten yards, but the play was
brought to an end by the time keeper
on account of the ending of the first
half of twenty minutes.
In the second half Wausau kicked
off and Mccarthy advanced it for ten
Yards, Nimptz took it for ten more on
fine tackle play. During the next
scrimmage Wausau player by name
Of Billiard, the left tackle, was laid
out with an injured shoulder. On the
next play Nimptz took the ball for
another ten yards around the end, and
then Wausau was declared off side,
which lost for them 5 yards. In the
second scrimmage from this, Brennan
made touchdown for Grand Rapids,
making the score, when a goal had
been kicked by Ed Bodette, SIX and
six. with but few minutes to play.
On Wausau's kick of, two poor
place kicks we're made, but finally
made successfully. On the second
scrimmage after the first confusion,
Grand Rapids was adjudged off side,
and five yards was granted Wausau.
Then to make up for it, began series
of long runs and heavy line smashes
by the local team. Nimptz made one
run of Is yards, and several shorter
ones. In the first Scrimmage after
this. three men were laid out at once,
and all of them in a mud puddle. All
were able to return to the game at the
end of their two minutes, however,
and then by tackle play, the Grend
Rapids teams brought the ball up
within two yards of the Wausau goal.
With only a minute to play, Grand
Rapids then showed poor Judgment,
and trying line smashes instead of
almost any other play, the ball was
lost on downs, and a Wausau man
nnnted it, for fOrtv Yards. The game
ended on Grand Rapids 80 yard line.
The line up Of the two teams was
aa fo1lOUc.

in the Temple as silent proof of prom

refuge for sufferers from all parts of
the world, from England and India,
from the North and the South, the
Atlantic and the Pacific, and, once
accepted no person has been sent
away unhelped. Old and young, rich
and poor, men and women and chill
dren. they have gone to the Temple
almost with the faith of those who
went to the Nazarene in the century
long ago, and they have been healed.
Women who were about to be
robbed by the surgeons knife of the
noble privilege of motherhood have
gone there for help and have told
their pitiable stories of suffering, of
troubles misunderstood, of reckless
operations, and afterward they have
been saved and sent home to sit in
the happy circle that God intended
them to grace.
