Shortly before o'clock the other even

burned at the plant of the Diamond
Match Company in Oshkosh by his cloth
ing taking fire. He is employed in the
match room of the plant. It is believed
he had something in his pocket which
ignited. A fellow workman tore the
clothing from his body, but he had bad
burns on his arms and right side and
lower limbs. The injuries will probably
not prove fatal. Dettbrenner was 16

1T, rs THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL.
This Is What ManitOVOc People
Think of New Road.

Reports from Milwaukee that condem-
nation proceedings have been started by
a steam rail line for right of way from
that city to Manitowoc is believed to be
the first move of the Wisconsin Central
to build from Manitowoc and the belief
is supported by the fact that the Cen
trail is now unloading 10000 ties for
railroads in that city, the schooner Belle
Brown having brought in the second
cargo of 5000 the other day. 1t is be-
lieved that the Central will secure a di-
rect line to Milwaukee and complete ex-
tensive projects which officials advised
the City Council last fall that the road
had in contemplation.

AUTO KILLS A WOMAN.
anna Steffen of Appleton Run Down
by John McNaughtOn.

Dy
While walking from a car to the cross
ing, Miss Anna Stefin, aged 30 years,
was instantly killed in Appleton by an
automobile owned by John McNaughton,
a wealthy paper manufacturer. Fred Van
Ryzin, the chauffeur, has been placed
under arrest. Those who witnessedsthe
accident say that the machine was moving
at a rate of about eight miles an hour.
When she stepped off the car Miss Stefin
evidently believed that there was not
room for her between the auto and the
car, and so she made a dash for the
curbstone, running directly in front of
the machine. A broken neck and internal
injuries caused instant death.

TWO CUBS AT ONE SHOT.
Ladysmith Man Does Better than
President Roosevelt.

Chris Biller of Gates county has out
done Roosevelt in bear hunting exploits.
The other day he killed two cubs at one
shot. The cubs were in a tree, one above
the other, out on boughs. Biller got di-
rectly under them and shot them through
the head. The mother bear and one cub
got away. o. e. Anderson Of Ladysmith
shipped his two bear cubs, which were
captured near there two months ago, to
"Big Otto," the animal trainer and col
lector, Chicago. Mr.. Anderson had no
suitable place to keep his pets, and as
they were growing so rapidly on cows
milk they had become quite a care. Their
antics attracted much attention.

DR.. Frederick Cook, the first man
who has succeeded in reaching the
summit of Mount Mckinley, tells of
his remarkable climb. His account
of a night spent on a 60-degree slope
shows the dangers which he encoun-
tered
THE darkness was too far advanced
and we were too nearly exhausted to
risk a farther ascent into the unknown
dangers above. The slope, upon which
we had cut steps and seats In the ice,
was nearly 60 degrees, but the ice
was secure. the snow firm, and the
danger from avalanches small. AS
duty to ourselves and to our families,
we had no alternative but to dig into
the icy side of the mountain and hold
on for the night
''In this side hill ditch we fitted our
selves securely, with a view to the
effects of slumber movements. For
ii we slipped from the ditch we would
plunge thousands of feet through the
clouds to the smoky depths of an Arc
tic Inferno. We wrapped ourselves
in bundle, with all of our belongings,
including the tent. then dashed our
selves to the axes, which were secure
ly driven into the ice. The fine snow
drifted down our necks and into the
cracks OF the dugout, but we did not
dare to move, for fear the snow would
fill the gap, crowd us out, and we
would be left to hold on to the axes
to stay us from a death plunge.
"Ayalanches Numbered down from
both sides at close range. The night
was very long and stormy. There
were frequent riffs in the clouds,
through which we saw clusters OF
| stars framed by silvery films OF vapor
beautiful pictures in the retrospect
| but we were then not in humor to
| appreciate the glories OF our outlook
We were interested more in the break
to place of greater security. The
thought of going to the top of the
mountain was dispelled by the misery
OF that awful night We were too
| tightly bundled to disagree actively
though we spent wakeful hours in mild
arguments. We agreed, however, on
two points-we must hold on, freeze
to the ice, if possible, and with the
| FIRST light take to the low country
But with the break of day, with Its
fetching polar glory, all of this dis
heartening note of abandonment and
danger changed"
