morning from his youngest brother,
Frank, who lives in San Francisco 1t
was written on the 18th and says at

His letter was concerning the horrors
of the earthquake and the fire telling of
awful destruction and death. He says
that although they have their home,
there is nothing to eat or drink; moth
ing can be had at any cost; that there
is no electricity, and no gus, so nights
they are in darkness. He says it is i'm
of the people.
Frank O'Hare, a character who hangs
around livery stables, was arrested Sat-
urday on a charge of horse stealing,
preferred by Chas. Wendorf. At his
hearing, the date of examination was
fixed for tomorrow, he being required
to furnish bail in the sum of $500 for his
appearance. Wendorf claims that some
weeks ago he entered into horse trade
with OHare, exchanging animals with
him upon the stipulation that if either
party was dissatisfied after the horses
had been given a trial that the owners
could take their horses back. Wendorf
says the horse he got of O'Hare had
penchant for walking off to the side of
the road and when he wanted him to
gee he went haw Later he called at
the Guenther livery stable to get his
horse back but OHare claimed the
trade had been made and was final.
Wendorf later learned that his horse
had been disposed of to other parties
and caused warrant to be issued for
OHare's arrest.
The Wausau base ball team, which
has been practicing faithfully of late,
will depart tomorrow for Freeport,
Ill. where a series of games will be
played. The Freeport team has the
advantage of about weeks active
play with Illinois teams and is showing
up well. Manager Malvin has begun
the work of wedding and will perhaps
not retain over twelve men on the
salary list. 1t appears that all of the
teams have strengthened up, over last
year. TIE Eau Claire Chippewa Falls
aggregat III however, is an unknown
quantity but It is assured that Manager
Andy Porter, rho at one time wore a
Wausau uniform, will have strong
team. Green Bay also is keeping quiet
and may be a surprise. Oshkosh is
reported as strong, though she has lost
Beebee, Moore and Graves. Pink"
Hawley has a bunch of about twenty
players to select from for Lacrosse, and
will endeavor to improve his teams
batting powers. Though Lacrosse
won the pennant last year it was the
weakest team in the league in batting.

pitching and fielding.
