GREAT WAR Is OVER WIS.
Woman Sought Aid for the Post
Office Robbers from PROM
nent MAJ.

Appleton, Wis, tug. 20. Four
weeks ago a stylishly dressed woman
called on prominent Appleton man who
is closely related to one of the most in
fuential politicians Of La Cross and
stated that a friend Of hers was in
trouble at La Crosse. She offered him
500 if he would use his influence with
the La Crosse politicians to help her
friend. The Appleton man refused.
1t is now learned chat the woman was
Mrs. Trainor, who is said to have eff
feeted the escape of Earl Trainor and
Andrew Cunningham, famous postoffice
robbers.
La Crosse, Wis, Aug. 60 The
police are guarding the St. Paul man

Turnkey E|Merch' Childers was arrest

Of Earl Trainor and Andrew Cunning

office robbers. He is the son of Mrs.
Trainor.
Authorities believe that Cunningham
did not crawl through the tunnel under
his cell, but that he walked out of the
Jail door Tsey say no man could have
passed through the opening Of the tun-
mel.
Cash bail Of 81, 500 was offered for
Turnkey Childers, but the matter was
deferred until thday, when the amount
may be increased. The defendants at

as "easy" among the crooks and that
the latter take greater chances in this

confidence in their ability to break 5ail

MORE BEAR SHOOTING
But Again the Animal Escapes Frc1n
Hunter.


Z. l.. Baxter, who condtcts a dairy
business between Ladysmith and Tony,
was out in the woods near his home the
other evening when he encountered a
big bear. The bear was coming toward
him and had, reached a log with It's
fore feet upon It, when, seeing the
hunter for the first time, it turned to
run away. Mr. Baxter took quick
shot at the BEARS head, but it ran
away.
Upon reaching the spot where the
bear had stood, a distance Of about
four or five rods, Mr. Baxter found an
irregularly shaped piece Of bone about
an inch and half long and a quarter
of an inch thick. The bone was curved
shape and fresh from the bears head.
Mr.. Baxter followed the bear for some
distance when it entered wet swamp
where the chase was abandoned.
Mr.. Baxter says that there are at
least two bear in that vicinity and that
the one he shot was a very large one.

.LOANERS INVESTIGATE
Represen tative Of Minneapolis Con
eeHa Looks over Rusk
County.

j. N. Barnes of Minneapolis was in
the city Tuesday and Wednesday inthe
interest Of the loan department of the
Title Insurance and Loan company Of
that city.
This concern is one of the heavy
financial institutions Of the twin cities
and is, of course, interested in new
fields in which to place loans. In order
to ascertain the conditions prevailing
in Rusk county, this concern sent its
representative to make a personal in
vestigation.
After looking over the city and i'm
mediately surrounding country, Mr.
Barnes took drives about the country
with the result tha@ his good impress
sions have been strengthened in all re-
spects
Mr. Barnes report will have much
to do with the Title Insurance and Loan
company's S inclinations to do business
in this section.
Heretofore the development of the
country has been somewhat hampered
by the disinclination upon the part of
financial institutions to make loans in
the new cotntry with which they were
not familiar.
It is an agreeable fact, which should
be pleasant to our people, that repre-
sentatives of such concerns as the above
mentioned are highly pleased with Rusk
county and so home with assuring re-
ports. Confidence in loaning quarters
is decidedly desirable at the point in the
development Of the county.

LIGHTNIHG'S BAD WORK
Cumberland has Several Severe Ex-
periences in which Barns and
Eouses5are Destroyed.

Barron county came in for a ful
share of damage by lightning last week
The Cumberland Advocate recounts tht
following Incidents:
Thursday evening at.s:30 o'ctock, a
bolt Of lightning struck a large barn
filled with hay, owned by Peter Suen-
men, who resides two miles southeast
of Comstock. The barn caught fre
Immediately. j Meyer, the brother
in-law of Mr. Suennen, who lived neal
by. saw the flames and rtlshed out with
the intention of saving what he could.
There were no hopes of saving the barn
and the 70 ton of hay but in company
with several other neighbors he was
enabled to save all the machinery and
farm vehicles. This was no sooner ac-
.complished than Mr. Meyer proceeded
to the house in quest Of 2 drink of
water. His purpose was never accom-
plished, however, for upon reaching the
door he dropped dead. Being naturally
afflicted with heart desease, it is sup
posed that the excitement of the event
and the strenuous work connected
herewith occasioned his collapse.
A fine work horse, owned by Gust
Linfors who lives about four miles
south of this city, was struck by light
ming Thursday night. In the evening
the team Cf Mr. Li7lfors had been I'M
able to get within she barn, IS the
door was shut and the horses were
compelled to remain outside One of
them came in contact wath the wire
fence, in some manner, at the same
time that q fash Of lightning striking
the fence glided along the wires until
it reached the horse which it killed in
st&ntly.
Sunday night lightning visited the
homeof Gottfrad klopotek, who resides
in the same locality as Mr. Suennen.
Besides the members of the family, two
children of neighbor were present,
Amelia Widniann and her little sister.
The two reighbor's children were both
sitting at table, Mr.. and Mrs
Klopotek were in the same room and
their seven year old son was in an ad-
joining fsom asleep.
Two large holes in the roof and a
shattered chimney Indicate the place
of entry CT the bolt which decended to
the table, rendering the two girls un-
corcious. The belt then passed into
the next room completely demolishing
the bed but miraculously sparing the
child The little boy, somewhat startled
by his rude awakening, then rushed into
the main room crying, mamma some
body has smashed my bed ali to pieces,
I want another" Miss Amelia who
was quite badly stricken is in very
critical condition.
Thursday afternoon lightning struck
the home of Joseph Stauner, who also
lives near Comstociz, but apart from
dislocating bed5teads and chairs and
breaking windows it did no damage.
