LOST HIS WATCH.

A one legged specimen of the genus
hobo, who gave the name of Barney
Mcclure, appeared in the city early
last week and began making vigor-
Gus campaign for a corn and rye fund.
He was singer-that is, he thought he
was. If the reader has ever visited a
lumber camp on a Sunday evening and
listened to lumberjack nightingale
MARBLE refrain, then he can judge of
Barney's singing. 1t was of the same
identical character. At the end of each
song he would take up silver collec-
ton. He was also an elocutionist and
at times would recite, my Father is at
the Switch" with pathos that would
cause alligator tears to roll down the
cheeks of those who wasted their time
listening to him. One of the boarders
at the Adams House claimed that Bar
ney is also possessed of other talent.
He said that like sweet Alice of concert
hall fame, Mr. Mcclure has touch
ing' way he told the police that Bar
ney had leaned against him while sing.
ing song and after he had served as a
prop, and Mr.. Mcclure had made his
exit through the front door of the
hotel little later, the boarder missed
his watch. Mcclure was arrested and
pleaded not guilty. Examination was
set for Saturday, but when the case was
called the complainant failed to appear
and the travelling Mcclure was released
and departed from town.

upon the convention as he viewed it.
His talk was very interesting.

FATALLY INJURED.

Stephen Winkler, an employe in the
paper mills of Brokaw, was fatally
injured in that village at an early hour
Friday morning, and died in st. Mary S
hospital, this city, during the after
noon. 1t appears that he intended to
board the scoot and come to Wausau
that morning. Instead of going to the
Y and waiting for the train, he at
tempted to board it as it passed his
house. The accident occurred at a
curve not far from the Y and the train
was running very slow. Winkler, it is
supposed, grasped the hand rail, but
slipped and fell under the wheels. The
right leg was cut off at the thigh and
his left foot was crushed. He was also
injured internally. No one saw the
accident, but little later the young
man was discovered and picked up and
hurried to the hospital in this city. He
was too weak to withstand an operation
and the physicians in charge of the
case saw that he could not survive
many hours. He was conscious almost
to the last and did not realize that
death was near. He passed away at
about five o'clock III the afternoon
The remains were taken to Stevens
Point for burial Saturday morning
He had resided in Brokaw for two
years and is survived by his parents
and nine brothers and sisters. He was
nineteen years of age

SHOT HIMSELF.

The first hunting accident of the sea-
son occurred Saturday afternoon in the
town of Texas, when John Neitzke, a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Aug. Neitzke, of
Taegeville, was shot through the body.
VIM. Neitzke, a brother, resides in the
town of Texas, and the latter part of
last week the parents, John and anoth-
er brother visited Williams place for
the purpose of assisting him in digging
his potatoes. The work was finished
Saturday morning and in the afternoon
the boys went out hunting During a
period of rest John placed his gun,
which was 3S cal. Winchester rifle,
against tree. When they were ready
to start again he picked up the rifle and
pulled it toward him, but the hammer
caught on limb and was pulled up a
distance and then suddenly released,
which discharged the shell. The bullet
entered his breast and came out near
the spine at point nearly on line
with his shoulders. He was at once re-
moved to the home of his brother and
medical assistance summoned. The
bullet in its course passed through the
right lung, which makes the chances
for recovery doubtful.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Wausau high school won a well
earned victory over the Stevens Point
high school team last Saturday. Wau-
sau outwelghed the visitors by few
pounds, but the main difference seemed
to be in the punting and the strength of
the two lines.
Kraatz outpunted, but many of them
were blocked by Wagner, who broke
through Stevens Points line again and
again. Wausau's line clearly outplayed
the Points line in all points of the
game. The Wausau back field seemed
TO be about on "a par with the Points
backs, although Warke. of Stevens
Point, showed up very cleverly.
Wausau kicked off to Woodwork,
who brought the ball back for short
distance. Wausau soon got the ball
and after good exhibition of foot ball,
they made touchdown with Kuhlman
carrying the ball. Mormon did not
make fair catch on the pune out, so
Wausau was not able to kick goal
Lake kicked off TO the Point but they
could not gain and were forced to punt.
Wagner broke through the line and
blocked the ball, which was then given
to Wausau. They could not make their
distance so Lake tried for field goal
but failed.
The Points then punted out from the
25-yard lines. Both sides punted fire.
quently from this to the end of the half,
neither side gaining much
Score, WaaSau 5, Stevens Point O.
The second half was opened by Stew
ems Point kicking off to Wausau. Both
lines held and the teams were forced to
punt. At this point Wagner sagain
broke through the Point line and recov-
cred the ball Huffman then made
some good end runs but Kraatz was
soon forced to punt. The Points could
not gain and tried hard to punt but
this was blocked by Wagner, who Sc
cured the bali. Kuhlman made II yards
and Kraatz punted over the goal.
Both sides were forced to punt again
and again and the game ended up with
Wausau's ball in Stevens Points terri
tory.

THROW 1T IN THE FIRE.

That celebrated chain letter, thous-
ands of copies of which have been sent
through the mails, is still being circula-
ted. Perhaps some have been received
in Stevens Point If so, pay no atten-
ton to them, except to throw them in
the fire. The letter contains an alleged
prayer which concludes as follows:
He who grants this request, THAT is to
send out nine letters, will on or before
the ninth day experience some great
JOY. He who will not grant tbs re-
quest will have some misfortEae Please
do not break the chain" The letter
and the prayer is hoax. 1t has been
condemned by bishops and priests of
all denominations, both il the United
States and Canada 1t is simply a
cruel attempt to influence superstitious
people.-Stevens Point journal
