off for the day and they were in readi-
ness to go out at any time with our fire
engine, but it seems that the Amigo

called first and the fire was gotten

Henry Rogers, who lives on the west
side below the railroad bridge, noticed
man wading in the river near his
home, few days ago. The man was
apprehended and taken to the county
jail. Further investigation proved that
the stranger had escaped from the
! Marathon county insane asylum and
that his name is Harold Hughes.
Hughes was a student at the Oshkosh
Normal, some years ago, and while pur-
suing his studies there his mind gave
way and he was committed to the
northern asylum at Winnebago, but
after being found incurable, he was
transferred to the Marathon county
asylum. 1t is thought that he walked
from Wausau to junction City and then
to this city,-Stevens Point Gazette.
The Marshfeld News suggests that
tri-county teachers institute for the
counties of Marathon, Wood and Clark
BE held this summer in Marshfeld. 1t
says For the same money that is
now expended in holding three separ-
ate county teachers meetings. one tri-
county institute could be held here
which would greatly eclipse anything
one of these counties could afford.
Much better conductors could be en-
ployed and the instruction work would
be more specialized. This city is cen
tral point for the three counties, easily
accessible on account of the splendid
railroad facilities. II such an arrange
mcnt could be brought about it would
mean a gathering here, for three weeks
this summer of 800 to 400 teachers and
a dozen or more leading institute con-
ductors."
