Fire Results in Loss of $500.

About six o'clock last Friday morning
fire started in the dwelling house occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs Peter Bach and
family on North Sixth street between
Commercial and York streets. 1t is not
known how the fire originated but It Is
thought that it started from defective
chimney hue The house is Il two story
brick structure. Fred Britton who had
occupied the second floor, vacated the
rooms on the day before the fire Parties
passing the house saw the flames and
hurriedly turned in an alarm from the
box on the corner of Fifth and CONNER
cial streets. Both stations of the fire de-
partmept at once responded and the
blaze was speedily eXtinguishcd, but not
before the roof and the upper rear rooms
had been quite badly damaged. Bach's
household goods We're also damaged
chiefly by water gravtatng from the
upper floor. The total loss amornts to
approximately 5000, partly covered by
insurance. Mr.. Bach is employed Us II

WILL BE AN EN-
JOYABLE EVENT.

A Birthday Bag Party will be given
at the First Norwegian Lutheran church,
corner North Eighth and State streets,
Friday evening, May 9th, ut 1:3O clock,
under the auspices of Prisca Society.
Refreshments will be served and the

the following:
Enclosed Birthday Bag you'll find,
And if you'll be so very kind,
For each year past put in Il penny
And glad we'll be if you've had many
Please send the Bag if you cant come;
We promise not to count the sum.
The fourth line of the above stanza
shows that those participants in the
event who are septuagenarians oCto.
genarians, nonagenarians or centena-
rians will be especially welcome at the
party And the last line of the stanza
quoted renders it safe for those who dre
in the habit of growing younger each
year after they have attained Il certain
age to make the numbe~ of pennies
in the bag correspond to the actual
number of times the earth has re
volved around the sun since their
appearance on this terrestl ial sphere.

DECISION RENDERED HERE
AFFIRMEDBY SUPREME COURT.

The state supreme court recently
handed down u decision affirming the
decision of Judge Kirwan in awarding
S2s 0p0 to Arthur Stein os Sheboygan
from the heirs of Herman Hayssen and
John Kohler who were formerly asSocl'
ated in business with Stems father.
After the death of Stein, Sr., the son OF
the deceased was unable to secure an
accounting from those in control of the
property of the original firm. Young
Stehn demanded S2S, 600 as his interest
IN the business establishment and, &c
cordingly, instituted an action to get
the money he claimed TO be entitled to,
The case was heard here in circuit court
and IL verdict was rendered sustaining
Stehns contention. An appeal was
taken by the defendants; but, as stated
above, the supreme court has sustained
the decision rendered here Stehn will
therefore secure SOS, 600 rs his share of
the property that was involved III litl-

SUES WISCONSIN CENTRAL
FOR $4,000 DAMAGES FOR
The DEATH OF HER HUSBAND.

Mrs. Thomas Cahill of Neenah has in
stituted an action against the Wlscon-
sin Central Railway company for $4,000
damages for the death of her husband
u w. G.. conductor who was killed at
Valders. this county, about three months
ago The plaintiff bases her CLAIM for
damages on the ground that one of the
handles on one of the freight cars was
defective and that because of this de-
feet, Thomas Cahill's life was sacrificed,
as he was unable to release his hold.
Mrs. Cahill has retained Reilly, Fellenz
g. Reilly, Fond du Lac law firm, to
handle her case. The coroners inquest
was held in this city. 1t is probable
that the case will be tried ut Fond du
Lac, and it is likely that those who
served on the coroner's jury here will be
called as witnesses ut the tlial. Attorney
Reilly said
THE issues in the case are peculiar.
Mr. Cahll was run down while making
what is known among railroad men as
the flying switch The coroner's jury
found that the car handle on one of the
ears was defective, and as result of
this, one of Mr.. Cahill's hands caught,
and he was unable to release himself IN
time to avoid the train which was COM
ing on him. There are several other Inn
portant issues in the case, which will be
known later. We will undoubtedly
commence action for $1,000, which is the
limit fixed by statute in this state

FRAUD ON STATE.
Marion County Grand Jury viii lnves-
tigats illegal Transactions.

salem--Though the statutes govern
ing the sale Of state lands have been
violated ever since they were enacted,
the investigation TO be made by the
Marion county grand jury this week
will be the first attempt that has ever
been made TO punish infraction Of these
laws. Several hundred thousand acres
OF land have been bought Illegally, and
the state school fund has been de-
spoiled Of several hundred thousand
dollars, but usually punishment Of the
offense has been barred by the statute
OF limitation before IL was discovered,
or, the state having received the legal
price for the land sold, no one feels in
terested enough 10 start an investiga-
tion. The offense which the grand
jury will investigate this week is Of re-
cent date, and the facts are 20 we'll
known that the transactions can
scarcely be overlooked.
Because the state in every instance
receives the price required by law, and
is not directly robbed, II has been easy
To let the infractions Of law go with
scarce passing notice. But indirectly
the state has been robbed and vigorous
action at the proper time would not
only have landed the offenders in pris-
on, but saved many thousands OF dol
lars for the school fund. II is not
through the ordinary sales of school
land that the steals have taken place,
for in all such cases the state has re-
ceived all the land is worth. 1t is
through the lieu land operations that
the manipulators of public lands have
made their fortunes at the expense Of
the school fund.
