Early Sunday morning the night
Waterman in the Goodwillie box fac
tory discovered fire in the plant.
When the fire department arrived, the
building was so full of smoke that an
incandescent light could not be seen.
The plant is heated with number of
sheet iron heaters and the fire started
from one of these. A large hole was
burned in the floor which to repair
will require the laying of new flooring
on space about twenty feet square.
Prompt action saved the plant from
serious damage.

John Slegel, arrested week ago in
Schofield, upon the information that he
had attempted two criminal assaults,
was discharged Thursday morning
That day he was examined as to his
sanity and found to be sane. The stor-
les of his attempts of assault, proved to
be made up almost wholly of whole
cloth. When simmered down it was
proved that his only offense was
Damon and Pythias act of embracing a
chamber maid. If that is a criminal
act the prisons of this country would
be insufficient to hold the offenders.
