On Saturday afternoon a barn be-
longing to Henry Hellbauer, 1870
Steuben street, was destroyed by fire.
The fire, it is said, was started by a
five-year-old son of Mr. Hellbauer, who
was playing with matches. The little
fellow was quite severely though not
seriously burned. The fire department
could render little aid, because of the
fact that the water mains have not
been extended to that part of town.

Sheriff Damon on Saturday evening
arrested Melville c. Crookston at
Marshfield on a charge of adultery
preferred by his wife. 1t appears that
Mrs. Crookston had been visiting
friends at Edgar and came to Wausau
Saturday morning to do some shopping
She went to hotel to get her dinner
and was surprised when she looked
over the register and saw the names
Melville G. Crookston and wife"
This made her wrathy and she was not
slow in telling the landlord of her feel
ings. The man later appeared at the
hotel, but as soon as he ascertained
that his wife was on his track he
skipped out and went by train to
Edgar, where he hired rig and drove
to Marshfield. His wife procured
warrant for his arrest and when he
appeared in court yesterday morning a
postponement was taken to Sept. 9Th,
he furnishing bail for his appearance.
