A COINCIDENCE.

Here is curious coincidence. Many
years ago Conrad Anthem purchased
horse which for a great many years was
used on the delivery wagon. The ami
NAL finally passed his days of useful
ness. He was such a great favorite
with Mr.. Anthem that the owner would
not consent to have the animal killed
or to let him pass out of his possession.
The horse was taken out in the town of
Stettin to the farm of Fred Wilde, from
whom be was purchased 80 years ago.
Mr.. Anthem gave instructions to Mr..
Wilde to care for Jim THAT being the
horses name) and see that he got the
best of attention and no more woTk as
long as be lived, for which services a
yearly sum of money was allowed the
keeper. On the morning of Mr. Al
then's death, Mr. Wilde discovered that
Jim was very sick and sent to the city
for a veterinarian. Before the latter
arrived at the farm the animal had died.
Jim, in his day, could get over the
ground pretty fast and for a time was
entered in races, winning many OF
them. He was gentle and trustworthy,
consequently great favorite.

MARY SENTENCED

Ia Beloit last Thursday Mrs. Mary
Mohr, under the name of Elizabeth
Mohe, pleaded guilty to a charge of
$50 under false pretenses,
The court fined her 500 and sent her
to Jail for 80 days. As she will not pay
it is likely the Jail sentence viii be ex
ter ded. Mary is too well known here
to need any introduction. The district
attorney who prosecuted her secured a
partial list of those in Chippewa county
whom it is alleged she has swindled in
the past few years. The list is a long
one and the amounts she is alleged to
have secured foots up TO over s13, 600.
She was tried here for swindling r. II.

state and in Minnesota. She has now

RAN AWAY WITH KIN.

Charles La Pcinte, a resident of
Ogdensburg, N Y, was arrested in
Marinette Thursday and brought to
Wausau to answer to a charge of kid
naping, which later may be changed to
one of more serious nature. The
complaint was made by Thos. La
Pointe, son of the first mentioned.
Thomas lives in the town of Bergen,
this county, and he alleges that his
daughter, Edith, a girl of sixteen years,
was kidnapped by his father on Dec. 49,
The two were OH their way to Ogdens-
burg when they were intercepted in
Marinette and arrested. The old man
claims he was taking his grand-daugh-
ter from her parents because they
abused her and he desired to furnish
her a better home. The parents, how
ever, claim this is not true and that he
had a diabolical plan in view. The
grandfather was in court Saturday
morning, but the hearing of his case
was postponed until January ?. He is
fifty wears of age.

SIXTY BASKETS
That Number Containing Eatables
and Useful Articles is Delivered to
the Poor.

During Friday and Saturday the
ladies in charge of the work of furnish
ing eatables for the poor on Christmas,
were busily engaged in the T. M. c. A.
building packing baskets. The work
was done by F. E. Schneider and
Mesdames S. Nj. Quaw, w. c. Dickens,
Maggie Marson and Frank Kelly.
About 800 was left over from the fund
last year and about $50 was donated
this year The work of making collec-
tons of money and distributions of
baskets each year is in charge of an
organization of which DIR. B. II. Conlin,
Neal Brown and Neil Campbell are the
officers. Every church in the city is
represented in it or at least ought to be.
A meeting is called each year short
time prior to Christmss, committees
appointed and arrangements made. The
committees this year were as follows:
General-Mrs Dickens, Chm, Miss
Bertha Kline and F. E. Schneider
Dry Goods-Mrs Quaw, Mrs. W. j.
Farrell.
Toys-Mrs. +. w. Burt, Mrs Frank
Kelly
Dinner-Mrs. Chas. Quandt and Mrs.
W. G. Dickens.
Meat-F E. Schneider
These committees purchased goods
and had the same delivered to the Y.
M. G. A. building, where it was packed
into baskets by the ladies. There was
quite variety of articles and the ladies,
aided by the poor commissioner, used
their best judgment in placing purchases
in baskets, best suited to the family for
which the basket was intended. Six
pounds of beef was allotted to every
family of ordinary size; a pound each
of candy, nuts and prunes, together
with few oranges, made up the eat
ables In the baskets of families where
there are small children, children's
ready made clothes and underwear and
in some cases dress goods and fannels,
helped fill up the basket. Where the
number of children were known, toys
for each one was also put in. Where it
was known that there is sickness in the
family, sheets and pillow cases made
up part of the gift.
Aside from the purchases, the general
committee received number of con-
tributions from business firms and in
dividuals. A number of merchants
made discounts OF the goods purchased
of them and one factory gave six loads
of wood.
In all about sixty baskets were made
up and were delivered this Monday
morning.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Bones of a Man Are Found in Ashes
of Burned Building.

A two-story lodging house, belonging
to the Johnson Greek Lbr. Co, situated
near the company's plant northeast of
Knowlton, was destroyed by ere on
Sunday morning between the hours OF
twelve and one O'Clock A Polish lab
orer, whose name we failed to learn to
spell, persisted in the flames. The
house had lately been e-modeled-hard-
wood floors had been laid and the place
arranged and provided with beds and
blankets for twenty-five men. Both
stories were occupied as sleeping quar-
tiers.
As the holiday season was ut hand, a
majority of the men had gone home,
and only about dozen remained in
these quarters. A few others. who re-
manned, had sleeping rooms in two
other buildings. Shortly after midnight
Saturday, the engineer of the mill saw
the flames in the building first men,
toned. He rushed to the lodging
house and succeeded in awakening sew

others. The flames had gained such
Roadway that the men only had time to
pick up clothes and run. There was no
fire protection and the building was
soon burned to the ground.
At breakfast next morning it was
discovered that one of the crew was
missing. The truth was suspected and
search through the ashes of the
burned building resulted in finding the
bones of the man.
Deceased was young man and re-
sided in that section. He had worked
for the company ever since it began OPP
erations in the town.
The coroner was notified and went
down today to make an official inyesti-
cation. We have been unable to learn
how the fire originated.
