SHOWS MOTHER MANGLED ARM.
Wisconsin Boy Asks Parent to Put
SaIve on Crushed Limb.


Saive on Crushed Limb.
Put some salve on it, mother, and
it will be all right" said eight-year-old
Walter Kumerow of Wausau, as he
held out his badly mangled left arm
for the inspection of his mother, after
having been brought home on hand
sled by companions who had wit
messed an accident which had befallen
him in the Milwaukee railroad yards.
The mother at once summoned doc
tor, who found that it would be neces-
sary to amputate the boys arm near
the shoulder in order to save his life.
Walter, with some boy companions,
had been playing in the railroad yards
and had climbed on coal car. He
noticed that d logging train was back
ing into the car, and in attempting to
follow his companions and jump to the
ground, Walter was caught between
two cars. He says his arm was
pinched between the bumpers, but his
companions insist that he fell and that
the wheels passed over the limb. None
of the train men were aware of the
accident and the boys placed Walter
on the sled and took him home.

Residence and Damages "o Ootn-
ers.
Fox Lake was threatened for
while one night last week with a dis
astrous fire, and but for the deter
mined efforts 70 crews working IN re-
laws on the hand engine and OF volun-
teer bucket brigades, the town might
have suffered a serious loss. The ire
started in the residence of J. c. Davis
from some unknown cause and was
soon beyond control. The high wind
which was blowing carried embers TO
other buildings and set fire to the res
licences of w. H. Murphy and II. RI.
Weisel, Volunteer bucket brlgades
were organized and after strenuous
work got the fire under control before
the Murphy and Weisel residences
were greatly damaged. The DAVIS
Mace was completely burned, the loss
being $4,000. The Fox Lake MOTEL,
across the street, was in great danger,

VARSITY BAND TO MAKE TOUR.
Plans to Give Concerts in Ohio, New
York and Pennsylvania.


An extended Eastern tour for the
University of Wisconsin band is con-
templated and it is more than proba-
bic that the trip will be arranged for.
Certain parts OF the negotiations have
already been completed and Capt.
owen, director of the band, is work
ing On the final arrangements. If he
is successful in these the trip of the
band is assured and a great advertise
ment is expected to be had for the uni
versity as the result of the trip.
lt is said that the band can get to
the East pretty cheaply and the ar
rangements being made for the con-
certs will insure the other expenses
OF the trip, which would be quite
heavy, as about forty men would be
taken along. In the proposed trip
concerts would be given at Toledo,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Albany, New York
city and other points, and the return
would be by way of Cincinnati and
Plttsburg to Chicago, where after CIV
ing concerts the band will break up
for the season. In all it is proposed to
be gone about a month and to give
concerts nearly every day, giving sew
eral in some of the larger cities. 1t is
proposed to start Immediately after
the close of school this year.
The idea of the trip came to the peo-
pie connected with the band after see
ing what a success was being made OF
it this year. 1t has won a great deal
of fame in the West this year and is
regarded as being a strictly high-class
organization and of ability much great
er than would naturally be expected
from university students. 1t is be-
1ieved that the trip could be made a
great success.

Paul Becher is a native of Switzer-
land. He is noted yiolinist. Paul is
but five feet tall and weighs perhaps
155 pounds. But, according to- the
Chippewa Falls police, Paul is danger
Gus at times, Notwithstanding his
size
Paul is said to have entered the
Mason shoe factory at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and grabbing a knife from
one of the benches he emphatically de-
cIared that he meant to prepare few
OF the astOnished shoemakers for the
undertaken. There was a furry, but
several stood their ground, and
grabbed diminutiye Paul and threw
him out.
From here Paul went to the Bazaar
store and announced his entry in
strenuous tones. He said, according
to the police. that he meant to kill all
the clerks. Clerks and customers
sought refuge in the basement. There
was a panic Paul was master of the
store.

around. He saw the excitement and

hesitation he braved the wrath and
fury of the Terrible Switzer" within.
Paul meekly followed him TO the city

A search revealed nothing, not even
money, in PauTs pockets. But as
soon as he was locked in the little iron
cage his rawlings became more furious
than ever It is said that bad whisky
caused it all.

GIRL GOES INSANE.

Telephone Operator Loses Her Nina
Through Religious Excitement.
Miss Flora Bretag, twenty-tnree
wears old, a telephone operator, mas
been committed to the state hospital
for the insane at Mendoza, her al
fiction being, it is claimed, the result
Of religious excitement engendered by
attending revival meetings at Bruce.
Miss Bretag was a constant attend,
ant, and being of highly nervous
temperament, it is thought that the
excitement resulting from the strenu-
GUS exhortations of the evangeilsts SO
affected her that she became suoJecC
to religious frenzy.
At times she is very violent, on one
occasion throwing glass at her rain
ar and severely cutting his head.
