Letter to Mr.. l.. G.. Fielder.
Mineral Point, Wis.

Dear Sir: What would be the re-
suit of selling poor paint with this
guarantee?
OF you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it on,
or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it.
1--WE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
THAT means pay damages, don't
it?
Here's another guarantee:
eff your state chemist finds this
paint adulterated, we will pay his
bill, and send you $1,000"
We stand by both Of these guaran-
tees; as we are the maker, we know all
about it. Yours truly,
#. w. DEVOE 4 Co.
New York and Chicago.
y. S. Meserole Il Horn sell our paint.

TWO LIVES LOST
BY a Traction Engine Breaking
Through the Bridge at
Lone Rock.

Lone Rock, Wis, Nov. -. Crash
ing through the frail planking and
stringers of the approach to the wagon
bridge over the Wisconsin river, a
traction engine turned over and
dropped twelve feet on X. J. Hood OF
Spring Green and Thomas McGill OF
Clyde, crushing them to death in five
feet of water.
The men were returning from a
threshing tour and attempted to cross
the old bridge about mile south OF
the city. A hundred men were sum
moned and cables were attached to the
wheels of the engine, which was lifted
out of the water, and the bodies were
released. The bodies were horribly
mutilated. Both men were single.

HIT BY A BULLET
William Arthur Narrowly Is.
capes Death From
Rifle Ball.
\ SEVERE SCALP WOUND,

At about four o'clock on last Friday
afternoon, William Arthur was acct
IDENTIFY hit in the head by a ball from
a rifle in the hands of some person uu-
known. Mr.. Arthur, John Hildreth
and others had been at work at the de-
pot unloading from the cars machin-
cry for the Baxter mining company,
recently organized for the purpose
of operating the mine Of the old Min
eral Point mining company. 1t was
was found necessary to get some rail
road ties to block up the engine to be
unloaded from the car, and Mr. Ar
thur went in the wagon with Mr.. Hill
dreth to load and haul the ties from
the NJ. p. \ n. track just south of the
zinc works. AS they were passing be-
tween the oxide works and the acid
plant, Hildreth standing in the wagon
driving the horses, and Arthur kneel-
ing on one knee on the bottom of the
box, the latter received a shock which
he says he will never forget. He felt
as though he had been struck on the
head by hammer and Immediately
afterwards became partially uncon-
scious. 1t was found, however, that
he had been hit on the left side of the
head by ball from q rifle. The ball
passed through his cap to the thick
part of the skull and glanced outward
into the lining of the cap, where it
was found. DR.. w. Nj. Gratiot was
called, and MIR. Arthur was taken to
his home. An examination of the
wound showed that it was not n dan
gerous one, and that the escape from
was truly fortunate one.
