Has Resigned.

Frank Peters, manager of the Wis
consin Telephone Co. has rendered his
resignation to take effect on May LIST.
and it has been accepted. 1t is not
known who will be his successor, nor
has he decided as yet, as to what bust
ness. Mr.. Peters has been with the
company for long time and has been
a very active and conscientious en-
ploye, and being an energetic man, he
will not have to look for employment
very long and probably secure much
better job than that from which he
has retired.

DAMAGE At
W|ENSFC7'Y
ESTIMATED LOSS LAST
NIGHT ABOUT $4,000.
Fire Discovered at ll:45 P.
M. BY Miller at Eagle Mills
fortunately Flames Did
Not Spread to Stock and
VdrniSh ROOmS---TO Repair.

The plant of the A. r. Wiens Brush
company, situated on South First
street, was badly damaged by fire
late lats night The damage was not
alone by fire, but by water.
The origin of the fire is somewhat
of mystery and last night none con-
nected whit the concern could give any
theory The first theory of Mr.. Wiens
was that the cause was spontaneous
combustion in the varnish room.
Such theory was exploded by Mr..
John Chapman, the secretary of the
concern, who stated to representa-
tive of the Leader that Immediately
upon his arrival upon the scene he
entered the building and closed the
doors leading to the varinsh room in
order to shut off the draft and lessen
the danger as much as possible.
No plausible reason for the fire
could be given last night. The flames
were first discovered by Frank Kleck,
miller at the Eagle Mills, owned by
r. P. Koenig & Co. situated at SD
First street, in close proximity to the
Wiens factory. At II as o'clock, Mr..
Kleck locked up the mill preparatory
to going home, when he observed the
fire in the factory and Immediately
turned in an alarm from box No. 16.
The companies of the fire depart
ment were soon on the scene anC
ready for action, but some difficulty
was experienced in locating the seat
of the flames. The fire for most part
was confined to the northeast corner
of the factory and in the new brick
portion erected about year ago. II
was not long before the exact location
of the fire was found and soon after
the streams had been playing it was
under control.
The fire was confined to that portion
occupied by. the Office and fortunately
did not spread to the stock room or tt
that portion of the building where
the finished product is stored, al
though some of both which were il
the main portion of the building wa:
damaged by fire and water.
In speaking to Mr.. Wiens last
night, the Leader was informed thai
the company would begin at once max
ing the necessary repairs in order tt
continue operations. He also statet
that he estimates the loss to STOCK
and building to be about $4,000, al
though it might run little more Oh
less. Insurance was carried.
The company suffered loss by fire
to it's Office building at Milwaukee,
not long ago. 1t is to be regretted
that these losses should be sustained
as the concern is experiencing gooc
business with many orders ahead
The Watertown branch was started
about three years ago and one yea
ago a new addition was erected, thu
portion damaged last night.
