Over in Manila, japanese under
took to place his eountry's flag higher
than the American ensign, on the birth
day of the Emperor of Japan. An
American negro objected aud there

but the Jap was sent to hospital.
A young man named Peterson, of
Benoit, went hunting for deer near
Ashland, a gear ago and nothing was
hearG from him until the other day,
when MS skeleton was found with the
gun beside it. 1t seems that Peterson
had wounded a deer and the animal
turned upon and killed him. The
skeleton of the deer was also near by.

Last week the PILOT made it appear
that Henry Johannes, had resigned his
position with the Mortenson Lumber
Co., of this city, 10 accept the position
of bookkeeper for the Collar STANCE
Lumber Co., of Merrill This was an
error, it was not Henry bet
Herman. Henry Johannes has been
superintendent and manager of the
Mortenson Lumber company for near
ly fifteen years and his brother, Herman,
has been bookkeeper for the concern.
Reports of the killing, wounding and
drowning of hunters have commenced
to come in. A man was brought into
Rhinelander, one day last week with
both hands badly lacerated from the
accidental discharge of his gun.
Another accident was that of four men
who went to Hibbing, MINI. In some
manner their boat was capsized on
one of the lakes and all were drowned.
One of the men was a brother Of
Anthony and Peter Seibel, of Rhine
lander
Last Tuesday afternoon, Carroll
Crandall, oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ii. l.. Crandall,, had the ends of three
fingers of his left hand cut off while at
the Daily Record office Carrol is car
rier boy for that paper and while he
was waiting he desired to know how
sharp the knife was on the paper cut
ter. 1t was necessary to lower the
lever little to get the knife where it
could be felt Of In some way he
slipped and fell against the lever and
to catch himself his left hand was
placed beneath the knife. The first
three fingers were severed between the
first and second joints. The injured
boy was taken Immediately to St.
Mary's hospital and from there,
after his hand was dressed, to his home
The accident might have been much
worse, for the hand would have been
cut off as easily as were the fingers,
had it been further under the knife.
Aug Hanke, Shawano county man,
visited the town of Elderon one day
last week and caught three and one
half pounds of trout out of one of the
streams in that section. On his return
to his home near Wittenberg in the
evening he ran into game warden.
When the latter accosted him Hanke
whipped up his horse, which aroused
the suspicion of the game warden and
he gave chase. He saw Hanke throw a
package into the bushes. He finally
caught up with the man and told him
to appear in court next day and then
went back and found the trout wrapped
up in newspaper with Hanke's name
on it. Hanke was assessed $27 next
day and will let Marathon county fish
alone for awhile-maybe. He caught
them with a net.
But for an early discovery there might
have been disastrous fire in the w.
Waterhouse residence 800 Grant street
Saturday afternoon. The house is oc-
cupied by j. b. Hilmer and family,
who had just moved in and were not
fully settled. A little girl, at about two
o'clock discovered that drapery was
on fire and informed other members of
the family. Mrs. Warehouse, who
was present, picked up pail of water
and dashed it on the curtain, ceiling
and wall and extinguished the flames.
The drapery was destroyed, the wood
work of the archway badly scorched
and the wallpaper burned off the wall.
A few minutes more and the damage
would have been much greater. A
baby was lying sick in the house with
pneumonia and Mrs. Hilmer picked up
the child, wrapped blanket around it
and ran to a neighbours.
