By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1.-two
fremen, William Reagan and E. F.
Downs, were severely injured this ar
ternoon in the collapse of a wall of a
burning warehouse at $40 Second street.
AS the wall fell into the street the fire.
men let go their hold on the hose to
escape being caught by the blazing
timbers.
The hose swung around and the
heavy nozzle struck Reagan, shattering
his right leg below the knee and hurl-
ing him to the pavement. Downs was
caught under the blazing debris and
his right leg was badly burned.
The fire started in an unoccupied
restaurant and quickly spread to the
warehouse which was formerly, occu-
pied by Langley & Michaels, wholesale
druggists, but vacant at the present
time. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by crossed electric wires.
The loss win be small.

A Remonstrance

The taxpayers and all pedestrians on
Peck's Hill wish to enter a decisive re-
monstrance against the sidewalk OF coal
ashes, ETC., from the several factories,
which no lady can tread and have decent
skirts or shoes, especially the latter, very
long. which cuts the leather, blackens
their skirts beyond the redemption Of a
washer woman's skill, making such a
pavement an unmtigated nuisance. Must
this style Of sidewalk continue, trying the
patience of our most cheerful home work
ers, causing useless expense in clothing,
shoes, etc, and wearing on the nerves OF
our dear wives, mothers and daughters,
thereby bringing on our worthy brothers
trouble that could be speedily remedied

tried to advance the ball but lost it on
downs. Here the P. A. C.'s began their
march to the goal. When within twenty

DEATH OF ASA J. KENT.

A. j. Kent, a well known old settler
residing in the town of Weston, died
Saturday, at one o'clock, of complica-
tions resulting from old age. A resi-
dence of over fifty years had made him
known throughout the county and es-
pecially to every person in the town OF
Weston, where he had made his home
during all these years, on farm about
two miles from Manser's mill and about
eight miles from the city of Wausau
and he was beloved and respected by
all of his acquaintance.
Deceased was a native of Ohio and
was born in Cleveland on Feb 20, 1882.
He came to this country in 1856 and
logged winters and worked on his
farm summers, until advancing years
compelled him to give up hard
work. Mr.. Kent was a jolly, good
natured, companionable man and was
held in the greatest respect by everyone
who knew him. He was many times
honored by the citizens of his town
electing him to positions OF trust which
he always filled with credit to himself
and to his town. For As years he was
school clerk, which is an instance of the
confidence his neighbors reposed in
him.
He is survived by one son and two
daughters, Charles H. and Mes
danes Dan Fuller and A. &. John
son, all residents of the town of Weston.
Mrs. Kent died on the 10th of Feb, 1907.
The funeral was held this after
noon from the Kelly chapel and was
largely attended. The services were
conducted by Rev, W. A. Granfield, of
Carroll college, who had been filing
the pulpit in the First Presbyterian
church of this city for several Sundays.
The remains were laid to rest in the
family lot, in Pine Grove cemetery in
this city.

A GRAVE DANGER.

Last Sundays fire illustrated one
thing, which is that the city is more
than apt to have big fire and conse-
quent property loss some day, by fol-
lowing parsimonious policy regard
ing fire protection. The PTLOT, as well
as several mayors, including the pres
ent one, j. +. Lamont, has called the
peoples attention to this matter on
several occasions, but the result has
been like pouring water on a ducks
back. Not only are the water mains
on some of our principal streets too
small, but last Sundays fire showed
that our Gamewell Fire Alarm system
is not doing its work in satisfactory
manner, or did not on Sunday when an
attempt was made to turn in an alarm
to the engine houses. No alarm could
be turned in for some reason and it
became necessary TO call out the fire
department by telephone. If the sys-
tenn is not at all times in perfect work
ing order then it is OF no use and some
thing else should he substituted. The
fire engine did excellent work
Sunday and under present conditions
Wausau needs several more just like it
and they cannot be purchased any too
soon.
