Chippewa Falls, Wis, Oct. 13.-Ex-
citement runs high here over the at
tempted shooting by Mrs. Kudolph
Pitsch of Chairman William Mcklnnon
and John Hanley, road supervisor OF
the town of Arson.
The officers and several men went TO
Pitsch s farm a second time and began
tearing down fence which Pitsch had
erected on the public highway, when
Mrs. Pitsch, armed with shotgun, and
her son with Winchester, rushed to-
ward them. .-.
McKinnon paid no attention to the
woman s cry to leave the premises, but
ordered the men to tear down the fence.
at McKinnon and Hanley, who were
standing close together, and fired. A
shot passed within few inches Of Nc
Kinnon's head.
The woman next told her son they
would fire together, and then McKinnon
ordered retreat.
Both Sides After Warrants.
After this incident Pitsch appeared
wife had done, he praised her for her
bravery, and hurried to this city to get
warrants for the arrest of the town
officers for tearing down the fence and
destroying a United States mail box.
Pitsch found some difficulty in getting
warrants, but finally Judge Cough IS
sued them. n t-.. = .
The town officers had also fastened
to the city to gstMarrants f o5a the at If
shooting with intent to kill, but before
they had time to do so they were ar
rested on the Pitsch warrants. A speedy
trial was arranged, and the officers were
dismissed on the ground that the tear
ing down of the fence was only tres
pass and not crihinal offense. Pltsch
Immediately swore out new warrants,
which will be served today.
None for the Woman.
McKinnon has failed to get a war.
rant for the arrest of Mrs. Pitsch, but
says he will try to get one from At
torney General Sturdevant.
Trouble has Eeen brewing for the last
three years over the proper location OF
the highway in front of the Pitsch
farm. Many surveys have been made
all of which were favorable to the town
Several years ago Pitsch threatened tc
was pacifed for the moment. Three
weeks ago he decided that he had 6
right to half of the highway, anc
erected a fence in the middle of the
road. He declares he will maintain the
fence at the point of the rifle.
Intimate Friend Of Dietz.
McKinnon says he has tried to SETTLE
peacefully with Pitsch, but failed. Twt
cases are now pending in the circui
court against Pitsch on charges of OBJ
structing public highway, but McKin
non intends in the meantime to keel
the highway clear, even tho he has t.
face the guns of the Pitsch family.
Pitsch is an intimate friend of Joh1
F. Dietz, the "outlaw of Cameron
dam,' whom he admires very much
In build and facial expression and mod
of speech and gestures Pitsch strik
ingly resembles Dietz.
Blames Mrs. Pitsch.
"Mrs. Pitsch is the moving spirit i,
this trouble,' said =. Mr., McKinnon
"She is continually urging her husban,
on to some violent action against tn
town officers. Once when l and sew
eral others were inspecting the grad
ing on the road she told Pitsch: 'Tak
gun and fill them full of lead.''

Philadelphia, Oct. 13-When asked,
concerning reports connecting his name.
with the rumor that the city would
take over the works of the United Gas,
Improvement company, Mayor Weaver
said, in his opinion, the only way in.
which the city could take charge Of the
works would be to leave out politics. !.
81 am in favor Of the city operating
the works. the mayor added, "but I
cannot see at this time how it can be
done. Just now I can see no better
plan than for the city to invite PROPOSE
lions to furnish gas as good or better
at lower rate ..v Z
The present lease with the United
Gas Improvement company is infinitely
better than if the city were running

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Chicago fires yes
terday brought several heroes to the
front. In at least five instances loss of
life was prevented by the prompt &C
ton of those who thought Of the safe
ty Of others rather than Of their own.
In the Haymarket theater, 1000 per-
sons were Gained by the prompt and
decisive action Of those on the stage.
Presence Of mind and steady nerves of
performers during the evening show
averted q repetition of the Iroquois
theater disaster, With the gallery in
flames and the house filed with. more
than 1000 persons, the actors and act
resses on the stage performed their
acts as tho a fire were customary fea-
ture of their performances, while the
audience, with good nature, whistled
and app1auded while the fremen, from
seven fire stations with axes, scattered
burning embers into the lower floors.
There was no semblance Of a panic
and the, fire was extinguished with
trifing loss. T. ~ = - 49,. -:

Opening Up, New Regions.

The last five or ten years have seen
the steady. advance Of the steel rails
into all this Southern region, and in
their trail have come fields OF grain,
Of rice and cotton orchards and flourish
ing vegetable gard ems. Here. as in older
parts Of the state; the railroads have
done everything possible to attract new
settlers and assist in the development
mental farms have, been established and
maintained at the expense Of the road, in
order to show Just what can be grown
with success in the different localities.
Pamphlets giving reliable information to
truck farmer or stockman or the fruit
grower have been distributed with lavish
hand by the railroad arrangements.
Enormous sums Of money have been ex-5
pended In securing the best refrigerating5
devices, without which the vegetables
and fruits could not be shipped to North
ern and Eastern markets with any profit
to the grower. One Of the truck growers
whose farm lies about fifty miles from
San Antonio, toward. the southeast when

E There Is every evidence to, prove that

! the prosperity OF the sections through
which they pass. I.

Work Of tho Railroads,

The work Of the railroads in developing
the great southwest, and especially Tex
as, can hardly be estimated. They are
quite unique in the history of railroading
for IN the majority Of cases the returns
on the capital invested are very small
a. mere pittance when compared with
the earnings Of the Eastern and North
ern railroads. AS one man in San An
tonic, who is interested in such enter
prises, said when he succinctly summed
up the situation: d: es-. - +.
The railroads of Texas do not live
for the; present alone; their great faith
is in the development Of the next ten
or twenty years. -"
7 This assuredly must be the explanation
of what would otherwise appear to be
strange anomaly, but it is not often that
We find enormous sums of money ex-
pended in enterprises where the returns
must be small for an indefinite period.
Texas owes much of her prosperity to-
day to the various railroads within her
borders. In many instances the railroads
were built through very sparsely settled
sections, connecting small towns, but no
sooner were these lines open for traffic
than the whole region seemed to thrill
| the management OF the roads, the, out
| side world was made acquainted with
| the great resources Of these new sections,
and the honeseekers turned to Texas.
| What had been uncultivated ranges or
| dense timber land began to yield agri-
! Towns grew to be f1ourishing cities and
! new towns and villages sprang into ex-
| istence as If by magic. Step by step
the East, the gulf coast, the central and
the north Of the state awoke to the call
Of the great industries ,,d and today we see
wonderful flower at the touch Of the

ing.
The church was ta5tefully decorated

in the mellow glow OF the shaded lights
produced a pleasing effect.

Leonora Coyner and during the cere-
mOny, The Wedding Song" was I'M
pressively sung by Mrs. 5. l.. Keller:

home, where the guests had the pleas
ure of viewing the handsome collec
tion O. presents which more than all
else perhaps attested to the popularity
of the contracting parties. Choice

much in evidence.

with the wise custom Of our fOrefatn-
els. it becomes my duty to set aside
special day of thanksgiving and praise
to the Almighty because of the bless

history or in the history OF any other
nation has a people enjoyed more
Astounding material prosperity than Is
ours; a prosperity so great that it should
arouse in us no spirit OF reckless pride,
and least of all a spirit of needless dis
regard of our responsibilities; but all
rather a sober sense of our many bless
ings, and a resolute purpose, under
providence, not to forfeit them by any
action of our own material we'll being
indispensable though it is, can never
be ANYTHING but the foundation OF

If we build nothing upon this founda
ton, then our national life Will pc as
| meaningless and empty as house

laid. Upon our material we'll being
must be built superstructure of in
| diyidual and national life lived in &C.
cordance with the laws of the highest
morality, or else our prosperity ltsell
| will in the long run turn out curse
instead of a blessing. We should bt
both reverently thankful for what WI
have received. and earnestly bent upon
turning il into a means of grace and moi
of destruction. Accordingly hereb!
