FARMER is A
WORKER In WOODS

The town of Richfeld, In Wood
county has farmer who is a skillfnI
worker in woods. His speciality is
hand lnlaid work, and his material, at
first only such woods as were obtain
able in his home county, now includes
some of the best and costliest wood
obtainaSle. The farmer is Peter
Messner, of the town of RichfieId, on
rural route number two from Marsh
field.
Mr.. Mess was formerly a work
man ia the e ahops In Illinois, and
his health growing poor, he came
to Wood county to end his days.
But healthful Wisconsin and the farm
life gave him back his health and to
pass away the time, he took up the
work he had liked to do when boy
to work In fine hardwoods. Mr. Mess
ner was in the city last week, and
with him he brought several samples
OF his haudiwork. One was a small
table. in which there were just few
less than 10000 pieces. some of them
small as the bead of pin, and every
one OF which had been inlaid into the
original table top by hand.
The table was beautiful one, as
was checkerboard he had, made up
of 800 pieces, All his work is done
by hand, no machinery being used.
Each tiny piece of wood IS dug into
the main surface bJ Hleaa,sS Of chisel,
and then carefully arranged. 1t is
unique industry. and one that would
be Looked for in all other places than

JAIL BREAKER TO
BE PUNISHED
MACPHERSON Will Be Re=arrested
When His Present Term Has
Expired.

John Macpherson, the town of
Richtield farmer who was sent up last
summer for mis-using his wife, and
who later broke out of jail and was
re-captured, will have to pay the pen
atty for his Jail breaking. Six months
imprisonment is all the law puts
upon d Jail breaker, but he will be
given ali the law allows, it lies
will prosecute him to bring iU about.
MACPHERSON entered the county Jail
here in August. and after few weeks
confinement, he ding his way out one
night, after compelling his fellow
prisoner to keep quiet by threats or
killing him, and escaped. He was at
liberty for nearly month, and upon
his first trip back to Wisconsin and
Wood county, he was captured within
a few hours of his arrival and brought
back to finish his term of six months.
which he is doing now, in almost
solitary confinement.
District Attorney Theodore Brazeau
said Saturday that when MacPhersCn's
term had expired be would have
ready a warrant for his re-arrest.
charging him with breaking Jail. The
trial will be mere formality. as
there is no grounds for defense
apparent. The statutes gives the
punishment for Jail breaking as six
months in the county Jail, and Mac
PherSon will be given the full amount.
Had the prisoner stayed in the jail,
his term would have been nearly out
now, but under the circumstances.
he will have to serve for nine months
more. 1t is not pleasant duty for
anyone to take mans liberty from
him, even for a short time, nor when
d man breaks out to liberty, to then
send him back to Jail, but the law
must be upheld. and it is only by such
measures as these that the present
good moral condition of Wood county
exists, has existed. and will continue
to exist.

"A DAY OFF"

The Pilot editor had the pleasure of
spending Friday in Grand Rapids, and
was truly surprised with the sub
stantial growth which had been made
there during the past few years. 1t
gives promise OF becoming one of the
largest and best cities in the WiScon-
sin valley. A few years ago the
conditions were ripe for the conSOli-
dation of the two cities. Grand Rapids
and Centralia, and this was brought
about by few Of the prominent and
patriotic citizens of both cities
OLher things tended to bring about a
closer union of both sides OF the river.
Such as the tight against the WiScon-
sin Telephone company, in which the
citizeES won out, and now they all
pull together for the good of Grand
Rapids. The effect has been some
thing marvellous. Handsome new
public buildings have been erected;
business blocks that would do credit
to a much larger city; and beautiful
residences which tell of the great
wealth. of many of it's people. In fact
the whole city has an air of thrift and
enterprise which means much for it's
future welfare. Probably 20 city on
the rlYer mas more able and progressive
men than Grand Rapids, but up to a
few years ago it was hard to make
any headway owing TO the disposition
of the east and west sides to pull
every other way than together. 1t is
different now. They own their own
water and electric lighting plants;
the streets are being rapidly paved:
their schools are equal to the best.
Their large paper mill is monument
to the enterprise of it's business men,
and their magnificent water powers
and adjacent rich agricultural lands
which,, with the conditions above
mentioned, is bound 10 make our
sister city to the south one OF import
anCe ia Wisconsin. Courtesies
extended by old time friends made
the day one of unusual pleasure. =
