road company have graded their right
of way all along the cemetery, and
will seed it. and keep it looking neat
and clean, to be more in accordance
with the appearance of the adjacent
cemetery, and there is but one thing
that will tend to improve the general
good appearance of Forest Hill. That
thing is the fence along the front Of
the cemetery. The present fence is
old and out of repair, and as soon as a
new one can conveniently be secured,
it would be very valuable acquiSi-
tion. Another thing which is needed
is two or more toilet rooms on the
grounds for the use of those who go
there to care for the cemetery. With
these additions, together with the
work of repair now being carried on,
the Forest Hill cemetery will present
as good an appearance as could be
desired. And since but little more is
needed, and since the end sought for
is so near at hand, public interest and
enthusiasm should be aroused, and
the matter taken in hand by all, and
pursued to the desired end.

MINOR JURY CASES
In CIRCUIT COURT

A number of minor jury cases are up
before the circuit court this week,
and nothing of particular interest has
been brought to trial. During We'd
nesday and Thursday, the case Of
Sylvester Palmer against Fl. H. Balm
and L. D. Goldberg, was on trial, the
matter of dispute being horse sale.
Palmer asserted that he had been
deceived into parting with two
valuable horses, and had been
defrauded in the sale of them. He
sought recovery of the value of the
horses, $500. The jury on the case
early Thursday morning rendered a
verdict in favor of Palmer. AS a
judgment had been previously secured
against Balm, the weight of the judg-
ment just granted will fail to Goldberg,
and will reach total of nearly a
thousand dollars.

RIGHT FOOT WORTH $500
Jury Fixes This Value on John
Peat's Foot.

The value of the right foot of
small man who works in the woods
and in paper mill is 81, 500. This is
the value placed upon it by jury in
the circuit court for Wood county, on
Tuesday night. The man whose foot
was rated at this value was John
Peat, who was plaintiff In a damage
suit against the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul railroad company this
week before Judge Webb.
Peat was elected from a passenger
train two years ago, while the train
was in motion, and, he falling between
the cars, his right foot was cut off at
the ankle. Beside this injury, his
back was hurt SO that he has since not
been able to do hard manual labor
After receiving his wound at the time
of being elected from the train, he
crawled for an eighth of mile, till
he met a train which picked him up
and took him to a hospital.
Evidence in direct opposition to this
story was introduced by number Of
men working for the railroad COM
pany. Despite this array of opposing
testimony, W. e. Wheelan, who
handled the case for Peat, succeeded
by unimpeachable testimony skill
fully secured and introduced, in
convincing the jury that his client
was entitled to damages. 1t is under
stood that larger amount would
have been awarded but for the
determined efforts of two jury men to

NEW BANK TO BE
BUILT OF STONE
Jacobson E DeGuere to Draw
Plans and Superintend Con.
StructiOn.

The plans for the new first National
bank to be erected soon are to be
prepared in Grand Rapids, by Jacob
Son & DeGuere. The new bank
building will be thoroughly modern
structure, and will be constructed
entirely of stone.
The plans have not yet been COM
pleted, but the style of building has
been agreed upon. It will be two
stories in height and will be built out
of Bedford stone. The style of
architecture to be employed is
colonial. The building is to stand on
the flat-iron shaped lot at Center and
Front streets, and will be about 80 feet
long by so feet wide in the widest
part.
The first floor will be devoted to
the bank proper, and for that purpose,
there will be two vaults built, burg
lar and fire proof, one to be used for a
deposit vault and the other for the
bank. Two vaults will also be built
on the second floor, which will be
devoted to offices. The basement will
be used only for heating plant.
The old buildings now on the bank
lot will be removed this week, and
work on the new building will be
commenced as soon as the plans are
completed, which will be in about
two weeks. The masonry contract is
yet to be let.

WOMAN is ATTACKED
While Driving Along Lonely
Country Road Near Mcmillan
Last Sunday Afternoon.

The Wausau Daily News in their
Tuesday issue had the following
account that will be of interest to our
readers:
Max Stack, who claims his home is
at Bakerville, near Marshfeld, was
brought here last evening by Sheriff
Damon from Mcmillan. Today he
was arraigned be fore Judge Marchetti,
charged with attempted rape, but
at his request the examination was
continued until Saturday.
The complaint was made by Archie
kerighan, yard foreman for the Doud
& Son company, at March Rapids,
who claims that on Sunday afternoon
last his wife was driving from Nc
MILAN to March Rapids, that the
accused jumped on the back of the
zig in which she was riding, threw his
arms around Mrs. Kerigan's body.
seized the lines and pulled the horse
into the side of the roadway. the
woman meanwhile struggling franti-
caily to release herself from her
assaiJant, and screaming loudly for
help.
Just at this time a Charles Ever
drove up from the opposite direction.
Mrs. Kerighan's assailant saw him
approach ng rapidly, and jumping
from the rig took to the woods. Get
ting the woman started homeward,
Mr.. Ever continued his journey and
before reaching Mcmillan thought he
saw the woman's assailant on the rail-
road track.
He promptly reported the occur
renee at Mcmillan and inside of fif-
teen minutes thereafter B. f.
Mcmillan had about thirty of his men
out securing the country in search of
the man. who was overtaken and
arrested before night fall.
Stack is about eighteen years of age.
In conversation today he stated that
the charge against him was wrong,
that he had jumped upon the wagon
intending to steal Mrs. Kerighan's
watch, that at times he was impelled
for some unknown reason to desire to
do deeds of this kind, seemingly being
urged on by some irresistible impulse,
what he does not know.
Mrs. Kerighan did not appear today,
but will be here Saturday.
Stacks bonds were placed at 1000,
which he says his father will furnish,
he having notified him of the trouble
he was in.

PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary Of
the Department of the Interior.

Marriage and divorce-A soldier
had wife living, from whom he had
not been divorced at the time of his
marriage to claimant, such marriage
was null and void; and as soldiers
first wife survived him, and neither
ever having procured divorce, there
was no period of time when claimant
and soldier could have been legally
married. she is not his widow nor
entitled to pension.
Line of duty-The record shows
that the soldier incurred the dis
location of his left arm, for which
pension is claimed, while scuffling in
the barracks and that he was not in
line of duty.
Honorable discharge.-The records
Of the war department. showing that
climant was honorably discharged
from the service in the war with
Mexico, the commissioner of pensions
has no lawful authority to question
such record, and must accept the fact
as certified to him by the secretary of
war.
Line of duty.--A disease contracted
by soldier while in confinement
awaiting trial for breach of military
duty is not necessarily incurred with
out the line Of duty, and when the
soldier is acquitted, or died while
awaiting trial, disease so contracted
is held TO have been incurred in line
Of duty.
Dependence-Wi -WidowS.-The ev-
idence shows that the claimant owns
property which does, or should, if
prudently managed, yield net income
exceeding $3.50 per annum. Held:
That she is not entitled to pension
under the acts Of June q, 1890, and
May 9, 1900.
Service-War with Mexico.-There
is no evidence, aside from the
claimants statements, that he
rendered any service as an enlisted
man in the army Of the United States
during the war with Mexico. His
service was a teamster in the Quarter
masters Department, which is not a
pensionable service under the act of
January 20, 1887.

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS
AT FOREST HILL
Cemetery Being Greatly Beau
tilted, and Put in Condition
of Repair.

Since the work of improving the
looks of the Forest Hill cemetery has
been pushed this year, the place takes
on a new appearance. Parts that
were formerly grown up to grass and
weeds are being cleaned off and burned;
parts that had grown up to under
brush and presented a very uhsightly
appearance have been cleared up,
raked over, aud planted to form a sod;
and a number of new monuments
have been put in, and many old ones
Strengthened up and reset.
Among the new stones set this
spring, an immense monument on the
lot of Messrs. Darling and Cochran, is
deserving of mention. 1t is of gray
granite, a monster, and is the product
of home manufacture, being made and
set up by Weeks and Weeks, of Grand
Rapids.
This united effort to beautify the
cemetery is due in great measure to
the Cemetery Association, formed two
years ago. At that time, the place
looked rather ragged, and forlorn,
while the appearance now will justify
the promoters of this good enterprise
in believing that their work was not
in vain.
J. H. Hooten has been engaged by
the association to take care of the
cemetery for this year, and together
with This helper, Joseph Krits, is
hard at work to get the grounds in ds
good condition as possible by
Memorial Day. Ever since April 28,
they have been hard at work, and the
result of their labor is shown in the
greatly improved appearance of the
grounds. Six lots have been built up
and graded by Mr.. Hooten, and more
are to be repaired as soon as he can
get to them.
Mr.. Hooten had several suggestions
to offer toward improving the looks of
the cemetery, which deserve notice.
One was, that no one should start to
repair their lot till they had seen him,
and had received suggestions toward
doing better work, and toward making
the lots more easily kept after they
are !repaired. Again, people who
take care of their own lots, should be
careful not to leave debris, leaves, and
dead grass lying in the alleys about
the lots. for if this is done, it will
have to be put Lack on lots; spelling
the good appearance of them, He
urges that people owning lots in the
cemetery should come and see them,
and see if they do not need caring
for; and many of those lots which he
had been commissioned to repair are
not known to him, and should be
pointed out. 1t costs but a dollar to
have a lot well cared for, during the
year, and iu seems that it would be
the more advisable thing to do, to
have the one man who is to care for
the lots fix them up in uniform style.
SO that the cemetery will present an
even, uniformly proportioned appear
ance.
