man was in the boiler room a the.
Waterman walked up and saw Lind
crouched over in a corner and or
dered him to come up Lind thought
he would play little joke on the
Waterman and refused to move or
speak, but instead picked up small
0lece of wood and hurled it towards
the Waterman, whereupon Livingston
pulled his revolver and fired, The
discharge of the pistol was great
surprise to the young man, and as
he felt the bullet Craze his chin he
was frightened nearly to death and

Fortunately, the bullet only took a
little of the skin off of his cheek and
he was not painfully injured. The

-WAuSAu PEOPLE INTERESTED,

The trial of John r. Walsh in Chi
cago has some local interest in the fact
that former Wausau man is one of
the main witnesses. Most people are
familiar with the case, Walsh going into
bankruptcy year or more ago. He
controlled three banks, the Chicago
Chronicle, the Wisconsin & Michigan
r. r., steamship line and numerous
other enterprises. Burt Gowen, for
merly of this city, was chef engineer
of the Wisconsin & Michigan Il. r.
Now it appears note has turned up
among Walsh's papers signed "Burt
Gowen." The note is for $4,000. Mr..
Gowen will testify that he never saw
the note, never signed it and knows
nothing at all about it. Others whose
names appear on other notes of Walsh
will testify the same 1t is apparent
that many of Walsh's notes are for
geries. Wausau people who are
acquainted with Mr. Gowen know that
he is not financial juggler, although
they would be pleased TO learn of his
being so situated financially that he
could write notes as large as the one
mentioned and had the cash to back
them up.

teaching to inspect their work and aid
them in it. Last week Mr.. Wells ac-
companied by two prospective gradu-
ates visited Miss Mary Marson, class of
1900, in the school at the foot of Most
nee hill. Miss Marson plans to vary
the program every Friday afternoon so
as to present some new and interesting
features. For the benefit of the visit
ing students who had their observation
note books with them, she had a sug
gestive and interesting rapid drill in
number work and very pleasant exer
cises in giving quotations from litera-
ture and news in current events"
CLEANED from the Little Chronicle"
local papers and affairs of the neighbor-
hood and school, Mr. Wells took with
him basket of stones and talked to
the school about rocks and minerals,
types and their origin. OF especial in
terest to the pupils were the fossilifer-

delighted to see whole fish in rock

Snake KIIIInc Kitten.

George Fornwald, substitute mail
carrier, Bloomsbury, owns cat which,
strange to say, will not catch a mouse.
but spends its time in the yards hunt
ing for garter snakes.
The CIT go far this season has
caught three snakes and brought them
to the house, and after laying a snake
down on the porch 1t goes back again
In the yard to hunt for more. Two Of
the snakes the cat has caught were
captured in one day, while the other
was caught day later. These three
are the only ones Mr.. Fornwald has
seen, yet some of the neighbors say
they often see the cat with snake
in its mouth.
Whether or not the animal would
tackle anything larger than a garter
snake is hard to tell, yet from the
fight 1t puts up when it gets hold of
one of these smaller species it is evil
dent that it would probably be able
to get away with a larger one. The
snake killing cat is not very large and
is still nothing more than kitten

MAY CANCEL LICENSES.

Papers were served last evening on
the three men conducting saloons in the
village of Schofeld, Braatz, Hanson
and Wendorf. They are cited to appear
before the village board Saturday. Nov.
80, to show cause why their licenses
should not be cancelled. The complain
ant is Oscar Egdahl, who resides in the
village They are all charged with
keeping their places open on Sunday
and in addition to that Hanson and
Braatz are charged with keeping open
after eleven o'clock at night, contrary
to the village ordinance. This case has
been brewing for some time, in fact
ever since the street railway company
began operating cars to the village. 1t
is said that it is Gust omary for minors,
who would be refused liquor here in the
city. to jump on the street cars and go
to the village and get all they wanted
1t is further said that there has been no
effort made to distinguish between a
minor aad one who is of age.
The disgraceful scene on street car
recently, in which one young fellow got
badly done up by the conductor, was
only one of the many results of some of
the above named giving minors liquor,
it is said
The village board allows the saloons
to keep open after eleven O'Clock, when
they apply for permit to do so. which
is only on special occasions. But often,
il is alleged, these saloon men have
violated the trust placed in them by the
board, and run wide open irregardless of
ordinance. The members of the board
feel that they have been imposed upon
and intend to find out ''the why of the
wherefore.

of Mosinee, are in the city today with
their squaws, Boyce's wife carrying
papoose snugly encased in blanket

To keep the child quiet the mother has
arranged a number of tkimbles and
bells over the papoose's face, so that
they jingle with every motion. Boyce,
who sends his children to an English
school, talks good English. He called on
all the county officers, as is his custom
when in town, and made purchase of
a hunting license, No. 93, 400, the last
one in the clerks office. Boyce assisted
John War Club in the burial of his
squaw last spring at the time when she
got too much fire water under her belt
and froze to death When asked about
War Clubs whereabouts today Bill said
that he is in Minnesota-"Good place
for him.. No business around here"

will be union services of the Presbyter-
ian, Baptist, Universalist and Metho-
dist societies held in the Baptist church
at 7:30 o'clock, Thursday evening. The
sermon on this occasion viii be preached
by Rev. F. Fl. Brigham.
Money has been given by one gentle
man to furnish sufficient poultry for 8
dinner for the poor of the city and this
will be added to by others and perhaps
enough raised to add meats, apples and
other things to each basket. A list OF
the poor has been secured from various
sources and the baskets will be made
up and distributed by F. E. Schneider,
city poor commissioner. All who have
donations to make for the poor for
Thanksgiving are urged to confer with
Mr.. Schneider at the city hall, on
Wednesday, as he will be engaged there
all day making up baskets of food and
sending them out.
There will be many family reunions
and gatherings galore, of old friends to
enjoy the day.
In the evening an informal dancing
and card party has been arranged by
Forest Lodge, No. 1870. F. and A. M, for
its members.
A Thanksgiving service will be held
at First Church of Christ, Scientist,
Thursday morning. commencing at
1915. Subject of the Lesson-Sermon,
Thanksgiving" A cordial Invitation
to attend is extended to every one.
Supt. Roehl, of the county insane
asylum, has placed an order with a
local meat firm for 25 turkeys, so that
the inmates of that institution are as
sured of having a good dinner. This
has been custom in vogue ever since
the asylum was established.
The finances assigned the superin-
tendent of the county poor farm do
not allow Of aG expenditure for tur-
keys, but still Mr. and Mrs Sampson
intend to give their charges the next
best thing and have ordered number
of geese.
The boys of Co. G are eating but lit
tie these days, reserving their appetites
for Thursday, when fine yenison din
ner will be served at the armory. Sew
eral of the boys went out hunting and
brought home good supply of venison
with which they will treat their COM
RAIDS. Ex-members and Spanish
American war veterans will be invited
to the board
The Brooks & Ross Lumber Co. of
Schofield inaugurated plan last year
of giving fowl to its employees on
Thanksgiving This year the company
has placed an order for 155 turkeys and
rs geese and tomorrow Pfeiffer &
Klecker's deliver rigs will haul nearly
5000 lbs. of fowl to the village. AS one
or more in nearly every family in Scho-
field work for the company, it is quite
certain that there will be rich aroma
of roast turkey in the village Thursday.

The ladies' sewing society of st.
Stephens church cleared over $500 OF
its sale of fancy articles in Elks' hall
last week.
A young woman, somewhat the worse
for liquor was taken out of one of the
rooms of hotel on Jackson street Sun
day night and locked up in the Gala
boose. One of the boarders at the hotel
came home and found the woman in
his room, asleep. He notified police
officer and the woman was locked mp
until she had sobered up, when she was
allowed to go her way upon assurance
that she would leave the city. Her
memory was so bad she could not tell
how she came to enter the hotel.
A young lady applied to the county
clerk Saturday for license to wed a
young man, but it was refused and she
went away detected The reason for
the refusal was that she was divorced
from another man only last March and
according to law Divorces must wait a
year after securing divorce before they
can marry. Last spring license was
granted to a couple and it afterward
was learned that the woman had sew
eral times before fished in the matri-
monial pond and made poor catches.
A year had not elapsed since she tied
tin can to the last man and the license
had to be Cancelled. They evaded the
state law by going to Michigan and
getting tied together.
Abraham Ryant, a resident of the
town of Bergen, was mp before Justice
r. n. Larner yesterday morning. Be-
fore his departure from the court he
contributed sum in the neighborlood
of S35 to the fund from which the sal
aries of game wardens are paid. The
reason for his generosity was that VIM.
A. Cole, deputy game warden of Wood
county, happened to run across camp
of deer hunters of which Ryant was
one of the party, and found a dog
Ryant acknowledged ownership of the
dog and consequently was arrested.
He took the dog into the woods as a pet,
not to hunt deer, he said, but that did
not excuse him from the law.
