NARROW ESCAPE.

What might have been holocaust
Sunday morning was narrowly averted
by the quick exit from a building on
Lincoln Ave. of man, his wife and
their.family. Some time between the
hours of two and three o'clock Mrs.
Frank Trenetzke was awakened by the
explosion of a lamp and she immediate
ly reused her husband. The latter got
up, and hastily pulling the clothes off
the bed, attempted TO smother the
flames, but in a moment saw that his
efforts would prove fatal to himself.
He then called upon his wife to make
three children. This she done with diff
ficulty and her husband followed, but
not until after his lungs had been filled
with kerosene smoke, and his hair
singed. The entire room was covered
with oil by the explosion, and in very
few minutes was mass of flames. The
flames spread so rapidly that the occu-
pants of the house did not have time to
clothe themselves, but ran out in their
night clothes. The woman and her
children ran to neighbours, where they
were given shelter, but Trenetzke was
so overcome with smoke that he laid
down on the ground near the house and
| was there found by the fremen, upon
their arrival. He was taken to a neigh
boris and put to bed. When the fire.
men got to the fire they saw that any
effort to save the contents of the house
was futile, and the house is now total
loss. The family had $50 sewed up in a
mattress in the upper story and the
money of course was burned mp with
the mattress. In a bureau drawer
down stairs was pocket book contain
| ing two silver dollars, and this was
| about all that was saved out of the
| house
/ The family had completed the dwell
ling but short time ago, and did not
have it all paid for, and to make mat
tiers worse carried. but little insurance.
One of the occupants of the house was
babe five weeks old, and it is a
wonder that this child was saved from
the smoke and flames.
The family having lost their all, even
to their clothes, the city authorities set
to work Sunday forenoon to make their
condition as comfortable as possible.
Two rooms were found for them on
Second street and quantity of pro-
visions, bed steads, ed clothes, wear.
ing apparel, etc, was purchased fol
them. Several people also started sub,
seription lists for their aid and soon q
considerable sum of money was collect
ed. Trenetske was in bad shape Sun
day. He was very sick from inhaling
the smoke and also had his feet frost
bitten from standing in the snow bare
footed. He is an employe of the Wer
helm Mfg. Co.

Ten weeks ago the PILOT announced
the death of Mrs Henry L. Wheeler,
which occurred Oh the 14th day of
December, 1906; today it has similar
sad duty to perform in announcing the
death of Mr. Henry l.. Wheeler.
This most excellent citizen passed
away on Saturday afternoon at the
family residence in this city, February
9th, 1906, at 800 O'Clock He was
taken sick ten days previously with
hard chill and which soon developed
into pneumonia. His condition became
very alarming from the outset and the
family physician, as the case pro-
crossed, gave very little hope of his
recovery. While his death was expect
ed, nevertheless when it did come it
was none the easier to bear for the
relatives and close personal friends
with whom he had associated, socially
and in a business way, for over forty
years and many head was bowed in
sorrow when the sad news of his death
was, known.
Henry L. Wheeler was born in New
York City on the 5th day of October,
1885. He remained resident of the
East until 1851, when he went to Cali
fornia, where he remained for one year.
He then engaged in steamboating and
in time became the first officer of the
steamship, Omitted States" He came
to Eau Pleine, Portage county, Wis,
breaking out of the civil war, in 1861,
when he enlisted in the Eighth Wiscon-
sin battery. He participated in all the
battles of his battery, with the excep-
Among those of Importance were: Bay
Springs, Inka and Corinth of Missis-
sippi; Perryville and Lancaster, of Ken
lucky; Tyrec Springs, Brentville Nalens-
vile, Lookout Mountain, and Mission
Ridge, of Tennessee and Chickamauga.
of Georgia. He was a brave soldier
and this, coupled with his ability, won
for him offices of rank; he was rapidly
promoted to the various positions up to
second lieutenant. He was mustered
out of service at the close of the war,
at Milwaukee, on the 10th of August,
1865.
He returned to Portage county and
during the latter part of 1865, purchased
a half interest in Touring mill at Am
herst, where he remained until the
spring of 1867, when he went to Stevens
Point, and in the fall of that year came
to Wausau and entered into the lumber
business with DR.. d. B. Wylie, until
1868, when their saw mill was destroyed
by an explosion. He then fried on a
lumber business and commenced the
building up of general fire insurance
business To the latter he finally gave
nearly his whole attention. He was a
man of exceedingly fine business quail
fications. AS to system and detail,
there was no one who excelled him,
and his books and papers were always
models of neatness and absolutely free
from errors. He was peculiarly fitted
for insurance work, for all matters left
in his hands were always attended to

DEATH OF HENRY |. WHEELER.
The End Came on Saturday Afternoon at
800 O'clock.

rightly and it was this great confidence
reposed in him by men of large inter-
ests at stake that had built up for him
one of the largest insurance agencies
in the valley. Mr.. Wheeler's insurance
work was not confined to Wausau
alone, but extended up and down the
valley, and he therefore enjoyed wide
acquaintance in the state. In later
years he has been very ably assisted in
the detail work of his insurance bust
ness by his daughters, the Misses Ida
and Dorothy Wheeler, who will, no
doubt, continue the business, for which
they are now SO eminently fitted.
Mr.. Wheeler has held many offices of
public trust during his life in Wausau,
ard which he has always filled in the
same honest, careful, methodical way
that has always been so characteristic OF
him. He was lumber inspector of this
district from 1874 until 1880. During
the years of 1874 and 1875, he was the
city assessor. In 1879 he was under
sheriff, and he was secretary of the
Wausau Boom company for twenty
years or more, and held the position up
to the time Of his death. He was a
valuable member of our city council
for several years. That he was known
in the business world and in municipal
affairs, as man of worth and ability;
in the home as model husband and
father; as a citizen, public spirited,
patriotic and progressive, and as a
neighbor kind, considerate and ever
ready to assist in time of trouble, goes
without the saying. His death has tax
en- from us, a man whose loss will be
felt and mourned for many years to
come in this community. Mr.. Wheeler
was highly honored member of Forest
Lodge, No. 100, +. & A. M, and also of
Cutler Post, G. A. R., of this city.
Deceased was united in marriage to
Aida A. Wylie, in Eau Pleine, Wis, on
the 1st day of June, 1856, and had they
survived until next June they would
have celebrated the 50th anniver-
sary of their marriage, to which
event they were looking forward
with much pleasure. To Mr.. and Mrs.
Wheeler were born five children, three
of whom are left to mourn his loss
Frank E., of Merrill; the Misses Ida
E. and Dorothy E., who reside at the
home in Wausau, and all of whom were
with their father when the end came.
The funeral took place this Tuesday
afternoon from the home on Franklin
street, the Rev. B. B. Gibbs, of the
First Universalist church, officiating,
after brief service the Masonic order
took charge and conducted services at
the home and at the grave. Many
beautiful floral tributes told of love and
esteem of neighbors and friends. The
remains were followed to their last rest
ing place by a legion of sorrowing
friends, in whose breasts deceased had
always held warm place as an hon
ored and respected citizen.
The following named acted as pail
bearers: E. G. Zimmerman, w. B.
