HUNTING FOR WORK;
MAN IS ATTACKED
James Clark Says He Was
Beaten and Rendered
Unconscious.
EXCITING STORY IS TOLD.
CLARK ON RECOVERING SENSES
AND WITH CLOTHES DiSAR
RAYED, RAN TO OLIVE HILL
STATION FOR AID.

For the first time in many moons,
told Supt. Bailey and the assistance
of the police asked. The story is told
by a man about forty years of age,
who gives his name as James Clark
and claims to be a resident OF Wilkes
barre, Pa The account was related
first in the little depot Of the Pan
handle line at Olive HILL seven miles
northwest Of the city.
Breathless and with clothes disar-
rayed, Clark staggered into the sta
ton last evening about 10 o'clock. He
told the operator he had been struck
on the head and attacked by two men,
who had robbed him. The operator
notified Capt. Trump, of the Panhan-
die police department and he ard Of
ficer Bundy went to Olive Hill and
returned to this city with Clark
The stranger claims he came to this
city Tuesday night and had RENAME d
here until yesterday afternoon. He
says that at about O'Clock he met a
strange man near the Railroad Store
country. Clark accepted and was told
to go to Olive Hill on the afternoon
train and walk about mile west OF
the station to farm house. where
help was needed. Clark says he fol
lowed out instructions.
Arriving at the station he took up
his walk. According to his story two
men followed him from the depot and
when quite a distance away one over
took him. Clark turned in answer tC
a question and was struck in the face
and knocked toward the other man
who thrust his hand. which contained
a white powder into Clark's face. The
latter became unconscious and upon
awakening some three hours later
found he had been robbed of all his
money, amounting to about $13. He
made his way to the station anC
sought aid.
Supt. Bailey will investigate the
case.

TIE AGtLc lLIER.
he Is "Shcd With silence" and Is rs
Quick Lightning.

Most wild animals are specialists
that is to say, they are highly develop
ed in one particular direction. The
tiger is great as a stalker. His feet
seem to be "shod with silence" r. II.
Elliot, for many years resident of
India, cited an experience of one of his
ueighbors illustrative of this point.
He had been much annoyed by tigers
and at last tied bullock out in a clear
ing and took up his own position in
tree to wait till the tiger should come
after the bait The ground was Gov
cred with dried leaves, which in hot
weather are so brittle that even the
walking OF bird over them can be
heard for a good distance.
In no very long time large tiger
slipped out of the forest and slowly
edged toward the bullock. His method
was so elaborate and careful that the
man who saw it used 10 declare that
it would have been worth 1000 rupees
to any young sportsman TO have wit
messed it.
So carefully did he put down each
paw and so gradually did he crush the
leaves under it that not sound was
to be heard Between him and the bull
lock was stump about four feet high,
with long projecting surface roots.
This, plainly, the tiger looked upon as
a godsend.
He got upon one of the roots, bal
anced himself carefully and so was
able to walk quickly and silently as
far as the stump. He approached so
gradually and noiselessly and his col
or against the brown leaves was SO
| invisible that he was close upon the
! bullock before he was perceived.
| Then instantly the bullock charged
| The tiger eluded him and in a moment
| more had his paws on the bullock's
| neck ready to drag him down. Then
| like fash. he caught sight of the
/ rope by which the bullock was tied
| and turned and sprang into the forest
| all so quickly that the man in the tree
had 40 opportunity to fire.

THE COUNTY SQUARE.

About the most forlorn, dried up
piece of ground in the city is the county
square. The grass is practically all dead,
the trees are, some of them, dying and
on others the leaves have turned yellow
and in a week more, if the dry wealth
er continues, will shrivel up and fall
off. At every corner the grass has been
worn off entirely, making the square
anything but a credit to our county.
Its condition is the talk of the city and
especially of those who visit Wausau.
1t should be the most beautiful spot in
our city; in its center is the handsome
court house; it has trees and many OF
them; the ground is well fertilized each
year and all it needs is attention. The
janitor of the court house, if there was
plenty of rain, could not find time to
keep the ground in good condition.
And with only inch hose and small
hydrants it is out of the question to
keep the grass green, even if man
should give his entire attention to the
work What is needed is to hire man
for the months of June, July and August
to give his entire time to the square,
plant some shrubbery and flowers and
have all kept up in first class shape.
With large hose attached to any of the
fire hydrants, one could wet down the
grounds each day in very short time
1t is too late 20 do very much this year,
but in the, future our county board
should see that the square is properly
attended to.

INDIAN SENTENCED.

JAS Edwards, Chippewa Indian, was
brought down from Eagle River
Wednesday to enter plea of guilty to
a manslaughter charge. Last July a
number of Indians in the vicinity of
Eagle River got into fight and one of
them-a relative of Edwards-was set
upon by the rest and when they got
through with him, they supposed he
was dead. Returning some time later
they found him still alive and they then
finished" him and hid the body. The
matter was reported to the authorities
and searching party failed to find the
body. Edwards and number of other
Indians were arrested on suspicion and
for time there was doubt as to whether
a murder had really been committed
Several weeks later the decomposed
body of the Indian was found, which
removed all doubt as TO the manner of
his death.
Judge A Fl Reid of Merrill, was in
the city Wednesday and called a session
of circuit court that evening. Edwards
was sentenced to serve a term of four
teen years in the penitentiary.
