THE MILLS-ELLIOTT CASE
Results in Victory for Plaintiffs
Attorneys, Bauman and Davis.

The case OF Mills against Elliott
which has been before the attention
of the people of Wood county for some
time was settled for all time this
week by the ruling brought in by
Judge Webb in favor Of the plaintiff
The case was for the setting aside OF
certain deed to some land, and it
grew out of previous trouble between
the parties to this action.
Last fall, Newton l1ills secured in
court judgment against MIR. and
Mrs. Elliott for $500 on a note that
was overdue. A couple of days before
the Judgment was placed on the
docket, the Elliott's, as was shown at
the trial, sold the land to M. l..
Towsend and received in payment for
the same, $50 and two mortgages
amounting to $500. There was also
included in the bargain an option to
the Elliotts for purchasing their land
back when they saw fit.
Upon learning the facts, Newton
Mills, through his attorneys, Bauman
and Davis, instituted proceedings
against the parties named on the deed
charging fraud in preparing that
instrument, and asking to have the
same set aside. After hearing the
testimony, the judge granted the plea
of the plaintiff on the grounds that
the testimony showed the deed to have
been entered into by all parties for the
purpose of preventing Mills from
getting the amount of his judgment.
The case adds one more to the
number on the successful record OF
Bauman and Davis, who are new men
here, but ARE making a record for
themselves.

HIS. ARM BROKEN
Richard Wipperman Meets With
an Accident Sunday.

While attending a little outing
party Sunday and in the midst of a
good time, Richard Wipperman had
the misfortune to- break his arm by
falling from beam in a barn
on the farm of Miss Eleanore Slattery's
parents in the town of Rudolph.
He, with others of the party, were
having a jolly time In the barn
when the accident occurred.
He landed on his feet but lost his
balance and fell backward to save
himself. In so doing his whole weight
came suddenly on his right arm and
one OF the bones of the forearm was
broken just above the wrist.
DR.. Ruckle was in the crowd that
was helping him enjoy the day, and
came to his assistance. With the aid
of couple members of the party he
set the broken arm and took care of
the patient. The injury was very
painful during the day and the follow
ing night, but Richard was able TO get
down town again this morning.

MISS SLATTERY
ENTERTAINED
AT Her Home in the Town OF
Rudolph Sunday.

Sunday number Of young people
from this city were invited out TO her
home in Rudolph by Miss Eleanore
Slattery, to spent the day in an out
ing on the farm. These little outings
have always been attended by such
good times that it was a jolly crowd
that entered into the trip. The
party were met at the railroad
station by a big wagon which con-
yeyed them all out to the scene of
their coming enjoyment, and fine
dinner was awaiting for them under
the trees on the lawn. That justice
was done to it is a surety when it is
considered that there were thirty
people out for picnic, There were
present: Messrs. and Mesdames D.
Mccarthy of this city: John Collins and
S. Mersch, of Stevens Point; Misses
Eleanore Slattery, the hostess; Celia
Mccarthy, Clara Hamm, Louise
Brown, Mollle Conway, Rosalie. Wip-
perman, Mae Baruch, Loretta Nc.
Mccarthy, Aurelia Bandelin; Miss
Clifford, of Stevens Point; Miss Knack,
Of Watertown; Letta French and her
sister Mrs. Reynolds, of Neenah; and
Messrs. Richard Wipperman, Louis
Bauman, J. G. Davis, Melvin Ruckle,
Freeman Gilkey, Bert Bevcr, Frank
Elkinton, Nobert Roemer, r. O.
Smith and Joseph DeWane.
The afternoon was spent in playing
the games they knew as children, in
singing, and in all manner Of means
whereby good time could be secured.
With the exception of the unfortunate
accident to Richard Wipperman,
nothing was there to prevent all from
having such time as can be had
only on an occasion of this kind. The
party came back in the evening by
rail, arriving in this city at ten
o'clock. They brought with them
their hostess, for whom words Of
thanks seemed inadequate to express
their appreciation for the good time
she had provided for them that day.

Bamboo Cannon,

Some Of the earliest and crudest
cannon were made Of wood reinforced
with iron or leather, and during the
pioneer days few improvised guns
of the same sort were made for war
fare with the Indians. 1t is odd enough
to read that In these days of Krupp
and Maxim the Japanese have found
it expedient to return to the use of
wooden artillery. A Japanese engineer
at Port Arthur invented a light bam-
boo mortar which proved most SER
viceable in storming forts. Two men
could drag 1t along little in the rear
of the attacking force and at the right
moment they would lob bombs Of gun
cotton over the heads of their friends
into the trenches of the Russians. 1t
WAS thus made a substitute for the
hand grenade, which had almost as
much peril for friends as for foes.-

known to our informant, lost new
bicycle into the river and it has not
been recovered as yet. The man was
walking on the narrow foot boar d
along the side of the bridge, when Ills
foot caught on projecting bolt and
he stumbled. His hat fell off and to
prevent its falling into the river. he
made hurried grab for 1T and in so
doing looSencd his hold on the bicy-
Gle
The wheel tipped over toward the
outside OF the bridge, and the owner
made grab for it but was unable; to
get hOl0 of the machine in time to
Saveit. 1t fell into the water and
started to float down river, though
steadily sinking. Boats were secured
and an effort was made to grapple for
it with some hooks, but to no avail.
The owner is said to be workman in
the Biron paper mill.

ISLAND STILL MOVES
Number OF People Visit and
Take Observations.

Since the item on the floating island
last week there have been a number
of people from the city visiting the
spot. A number have asked boat
owners in the city about it, and
there seems to be belief that the
idea is hoax. Actual measurement
taken on Monday forenoon shows
that the exact movement of the
island since the ice went out this year
to be forty eight feet. A closer ex-
animation showed the island to be
composed of wood refuse and dirt, and
it appears to he soft and spongy all
through it. In the spring it was
near stump that is lodged there, but
is now covered by water, and by this
as a stationery mark, its moveme n t
was noticed.
There seems to be only certain con-
ditionS Of the water when the little
island will move, for an attempt to
move 1t with boat and a pole were
fruitlesS, and it would not move an
inch. 1t appears that the water must
catch under it and raise it up and
ahead. Sunday there were number
went up the river and took observa-
lions on near by trees to watch its
course, and all passengers on the
excursion launch were shown the
curiosity, Just how much longer it
will continue to move is unknown,
as it is getting into slower moving
water and does not move so much.
Actual observation shows it to have
moved only ten inches since the
former article was written. The
