CITY WAVES ITS RIGHTS.

At the meeting of the city council
held last Tuesday evening committse
composed of Aldermen Fleming, Pierce,
Heinrich, Ellenbecker and Steltz made
its report on the proposition submitted
by l.. III. johnson for possession of GER
tain lands in the southern part of the
city. The lands referred to are blocks
10, 16 and II of Johnson's addition,
which were originally a portion of q
tract eeded to the city by John Ken
nedy and wife, with the stipulation
that they were to be used for cemetery
or park purposes. This committee was
appointed by the mayor TO confer with
Mr.. Johnson's representative, j. p.
Coates, and with the city attorney.
The proposition submitted by Mr.
johnson was that in consideration of
the payment by him of 1000 the city
was to issue to him a quit claim deed to
the land. The committee, in It's re-
port, stated that it reasoned thusiy ;
Ii the city were to successfully prose-
cute a suit for possession of the land it
would be obliged to pay sum equal to
about $1,000 for improvements which
have been made, taxes, purchase
money, ETC., in addition to the expenses
of long suit. The plum, the commit
tee thought, was not worth the pick
ing. and if 81 600 could be secured for
whatever claim the city may have, the
committee was of the opinion that it
ought to be accepted. The committee
recommended that if the city accept
Mr.. Johnson's offer that the money be
paid into the park fund. The commit.
tees report was adopted and in due
time quit claim deed W i'll be executed
and Mr.. johnson viii pay over to the
city the stipulated sum.
In defending the committees report
the city attorney stated that if the case
were to be prosecuted some of the most
knotty legal entanglements ever in.
volved in case would come up and the
outcome of such 3 suit would be doubt.
full and its prosecution certainly would
be costly.

A PlTlABLE ACCIDENT.

Ed. Rothman, who resides on the fiat,
received word Wednesday evening that
his son, Frank, had that afternoon met
with an accident in Merrill whereby
his left leg was so badly crushed
that it was necessary to amputate it.
Mr.. Rothman and family were not
aware that the young man was out of
the city. The morning previous he left
home as usual and though he did not
return that night or the following day,
no alarm was occasioned, for the boy
had often remained away before.
Upon being notified of his sons in
jury Mr.. Rothman went to Merrill and
had the boy removed to this city. He
was unable to learn any details of the
accident, for no one witnessed it. A
logging train was leaving the water
tank, drawn by two engines. There
were two cabooses in the train and it
is supposed that Frank attempted to
pass from one to the other and fell
under the wheels. The jolting of the
cars as the wheels passed over his leg
caused the trainmen TO look back on
the track and they saw Frank lying on
the ground, the blood gushing from his
leg. He was at once taken to the Office
of physician where the leg was ampu-
tated midway between the ankle and
knee. The young man is unable to tell
anything about the accident, because
he has not fully recovered from the
shock and is also feeble minded. 1t is
because of the latter condition that the
accident is pitiable one. When in in
fancy he suffered spinal disease,
which left him both feeble minded and
cripple, his right side being paralyzed.
He was an inmate of the Chippewa
Falls home for six years but returned
home three years ago. He is at present
twenty-five years on age. He was rot
physically or mentally able to work at
anything wllrsn required Drawn and
brain, and as he is left now will no
doubt be charge on some one as long
as he lives.

consisting of Messrs. Henry Ellen
becker, e. M. Fleming and W. g. Helm
rich, was instructed to represent the
city of Wausau at the annual meeting
of the League of Municipalities, which
is to be held in La Crosse, Aug. 14-l6.
The board Of public works was in
strEcted to cause the high bridge to be
re-planked at once with three inch
planks.
Z. +. Turner was present for the pur-
pose of addressing the members rela-
tive to what is generally considered a
poor fire protection for certain portions
of the city. Upon invitation from the
mayor, he began his remarks. He
called attention to the present fire pro-
lection afforded residents of the Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth wards. By obser.
vation made in sixteen years residence
in the city, when Wausau has grown
from 5000 people to a city of double
that size, he said he had noted no inn
provement in fire protection. Although
he lost factory in the northern part of
the city this summer, it was not because
OF this alone that he offered complaint,
he said, but he was speaking Tor other
portions of the city as well as that of
the Sixth ward. He did not believe the
fire department able to successfully
fight any large fire IN any of the dis
tricts named, not because of its ineffici-
ency, but because of conditions for which
the city is responsible. This matter, he
said, is one which interests every prop
erty owner in wards named, and the
conditions here have alarmed resident
agents of fire insurance companies.
They had suggested to him that a con-
ference meeting be called at which the
agents and representatives of the city
join in discussing matters upon this
subject. At the conclusion of bic re-
marks the mayor appointed the COM
mittee on fire, composed of Aldermen
Curtis, Steltz and Pierce and the in
dustrial committee, consisting of Alder
men Ellenbecker, Flatter and Fleming
to meet with the agents and confer
with them as to what is needed.
Alderman M. c. Ewing, representing
the Third ward, in briefly worded
note, rendered his resignation. The
council was disposed to lay the resigna-
ton over until the next meeting, but
Mr.. Ewing demanded immediate ac.
|ceptance. The council thereupon voted
to accept the resignation. Upon motion
of Alderman Hecker vote of thanks
was rendered MIR. Ewing for the eff
cient service he has given the city in his
several years incumbency in Office, and
the same was spread upon the city
records. The cause of Mr.. Ewing tax
ing this course is that since he has be-
come manager of the Wausau Street
Railroad Co. his time is so taken up in
private affairs that he feels he cannot
give the Office the attention it demands.
His resignation is regretted by his fellow
Ecouncilmen and by his constituents.

FINDS INDIAN RELICS.

Matt Hemmis who lives in the western
part of the town of Plover, near Meehan

to have been used by Indians for skin

Some time ago Mr.. Hemmis found a
stone pipe which he sold in Milwaukee
for sl5. He has number of fragments
of Indian pottery, made out of red clay.

FATALLY SHcT.
Little Girl Struck in Forehead by Bull
let Which Terminates Her Life.

A distressing accident occurred
Thursday morning in the blacksmith
shop of Levi Brown on Second street
whi,h resulted in the death of little
Marie Goyette, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. AL. Goyette, who reside at 1l2
Forest street. just around the corner
from the shop. The girl with two
younger brothers and some other chill
dren entered the shop just before the
dinner hour with a request that MIR.
Brown repair the spring of an air gun
which they brought with them. He sat
down on box and started to repair the
gun when the report of a rifle sounded
and little Marie fell forward uncon-
seic;.s with blood streaming from hole
in her forehead just above the right
eye. The father, who came for his din
ner at eleven O'Clock, was just on his
way back to his work in the Bells
House barber shop where he is en-
ployed, when he heard the report of the
rifle and the screams of the children.
Suspecting something wrong he hast
ened TO the blacksmith shop and there
found the little girl wounded as above
stated. He and Mr.. Brown picked her
up and carried her to her home and
surgical aid was at once summoned,
but there was no hope from the first of
saving the little girls life. The bullet
entered the brain and she never re-
gained consciousness until the end
came which was about an hour and a
half later.
The accident resulted in this way ::
While Mr.. Brown was repairing the air
gun and the children were standing be-
fore him, Chester Weik, a twelve year
old boy employed about the shop, took
position on stool near desk and
picked up % calibre.rife which he
proceeded, boy-like, to examine. In
some way, which the boy is unable to
explain, the rifle was exploded with re-
suits as above stated. The boy, as soon
as he saw what happened, tainted away
he was carried into nearby house
and revived, bat tainted again. When
he regained consciousness a second
time he became crazed and started off
for his home. As soon as he had
reached the residence of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Simon Weik, he told his
mother what had occurred. The par
ents Immediately brought the boy over
town to verify his story and to their
sorrow it proved only too true. Their
heads are bowed in grief over the sad
affair.
Marie Goyette was horn in Chippewa
Falls, July II, 1907, and she was there
fore a little past ten years of age, being
the eldest of several children. She was
a bright little girl and a favorite among
her playmates. The accident is one
which calls for sympathy for the be-
reaved parents. The mother is Wau-
sau girl. being daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pat Delaney.
The funeral was held Saturday morn
ing from st. James church, Rev. Fr. J.
j. Brennan officiating. The pail bear
