A few years ago the land on both
sides of Grandfather falls could have
been bought for a song. A few
hundred dollars invested by those who
had the foresight to see the coming
value of waterpowers has already re-
turned quite a fortune to the FORUM
ate investors. The Grandfather Falls
company paid 100000 for its water
power rights. The Wausau parties
who own waterpower rights at the
foot of Grandfather falls are today
worth at least $4,000. Here is for
tune which few years ago could
have been had for almost its asking.
How many other latent fortunes lies
hidden around here from the ordinary

CITY WINS THE
INJUNCTION CASE
Judge Goodland, of Appleton,
Heard the Attorneys Argu-
ment and Decides Against
Compliment in Very Few
Minutes.

Judge John Goodland came to this
city Tuesday for the purpose of listen
ing to the arguments of the attorneys
in the case of Gordon VS.. the city of
Grand Rapids.
The case was hardly more than
presented to the judge, and the argu-
ments scarcely closed when he rem
dered his decision in favor of the
city.
This decision undoubtedly assures
the erection of the new fire engine
house and police station on the lot on
Baker st. originally designed for this
pHrpose, and on which work was
started last spring.
1t will be recalled that as soon as
the work of excavation was started on
this lot, that Miss Gordon procured a
temporary injunction and all work
was discontinued for the time being.
The ground on which the Injunction
was procured was that the land in
question was purchased by the city
for the purpose of market square
and for a street. The city claimed
otherwise, and Judge GOodland took
the latter view of the case, rendering
his decision shortly after the argu-
mentS were closed.

Get the longbont over as quick as
you can, and without d sound he
whispered. There was not the slight
est splash to announce when this had
been done.
Get that dog that followed me on
board the other day., was Capt. ilSock-

boat, with a fresh beef bone, and cut
tho boat loose
Three minutes later this bnd becu
done. The dog had been carefully
nuzzled when the Laughing Lass slip;
ped her cable. but now the muz2le was
removed, and he was left gnawing con-
tentcdly upon the bone The breeze,
though still.light was now steady, and
the schooner was gliding silently fol-
ward at a rate of perhaps three knots
an hour. From the slight sounds heard
tho anof-war was now evidently
astern. n little on the port. Il
Load with grape--double charges
was an order distinctly audible. FOL-
lowed by the sound OF gunners work
ing about their artillery.
The dog, Which lad been cut adrift

several hundred yards astcrn, had, us
Capt Rockhll expected. been gnawing
Contentedly upon his bono for several
minutes before he realized that he was
alone. Then the loneliness of the fog
shrouded waters struck into his heart,
and he howlcd mournfully, again and
again.
i They are right alongside! Ship
ahoy! Heave to, or we will sink yous'
an officer on tho guard ship shouted.
The only reply was tho delighted
yelping Of the dog at the sound OF a
human voice.
Answer, or we firc!" was the next
shout. Tho next instant there was tile
roar OF gum and n flash OF fame
glimmercd family in the fog. Another
and another gun crashed all the shots
being directed toward the sound OF. the
dogs howls far to the stern of the
Laughing Lass.
From the next guardship a rocket
| sped upward, then from the next and
| the next, and then tho sea was family
illuminated by light being burned by
| tile ship which the schooner had SO
narrowly missed The light must have
| disclosed to them the 1ongboat, empty
| save for the dog, for the firing ceased.
| Instead there came the sound OF hef
engines as she got under way.
Tho wind was now blowing stiffly
ana every sail aboard the Laughing
Lass was drawing as SHE sped away
toward the open sea- When the gray
| dawn broke and the fog had been dis
| sipated by the rising sun not even a
trail Of smoke was to be seen upon the
horizon. The blockade runner had
slipped safely through.
