FRUIT STOLEN.

In this issue of the PILOT is published
a notice from the State Horticultural
society, offering $50 90 reward for the
person or persons who recently stole a
large quantity of apples and plums
from Ed. Gensman's farm in the town
of Maine. belonging to the State Horti-
cultural society. The amount taken is
said to have been 40 or 30 bushels. The
guilty persons can hardly escape being
found out as it is not an easy matter to
steal such large amount. 1t is dis
graceful that such an outrage should
happen in our county.
The society has worked diligently for
over ten years demonstrating to the
farmers which were best varieties of
fruit to raise in this climate; it has in
vited everybody to look over the
orchard and examine the fruits and
especially at this time of the year has
efforts been made to get out the
farmers, when the orchard is in fruit.
Every effort will be used to apprehend
the guilty parties, and it is hoped that
they will be brought to justice.

FIRST HUNTING ACCIDENT.

While out hunting rabbits last Thurs
day afternoon near Marathon City,
John Duerrstein of that village, met
with fatal accident. He went out to
visit his sister, Mrs VIM Bauman, and
while there conceived the idea of going
hunting. There is a strip of timber
near the Bauman farm and into this
MIR. Duerrstein went in search of game.
He had been hunting for some time
when his sisters children heard t vo
shots in rapid succession followed by
shrieks of pain. Geo. Lang, another
hunter, heard the shots and cries for
help and fastened to the side of the
man, the Baumans arriving at the same
time. A physician was summoned and
the injured man was placed on a
stretcher and carried into the village,
dying before reaching there.
1t appears that Mr.. Duerrstein was
standing on log or stump watching
for rabbits and either slipped or fell
and in so doing the double barreled shot
gun which he had was discharged, both
charges of shot entering his abdomen
There was not the least possibility OF
saving his life, even had there been no
delay in getting surgical assistance.
Deceased was fifty-six years of age
and bachelor. Fifty years of his life
were spent in this county. He is sur.
vived by three brothers and two sisters.
The funeral was held Saturday morn.

REMORSE CAUSES SUICIDE.

Thursday morning, while Mrs. Theresa
Werlich, a resident of the west side, was
taking short cut to the Stettin road
through the fair grounds, she saw
man lying between tree and log.
She approached near to him out of
curiosity and at once saw that he was
dead, bullet hole near the right ear
and a revolver lying near told the story.
The dead man proved to be Joseph
thinner, who resided on the west side.
Deceased had been in the habit of
visiting the fair grounds park for some
time and it is quite likely he had
planned his suicide for several days
before be carried the plan into execu-
ton. His actions indicated that he had
not been in his usual state of mind for
some time. On Wednesday evening he
was seen by several people going in the
direction of the park and about nine
o'clock shot was heard by different
people. From the condition of the
body it is presumed that it was about
that time that he ended his life.
He was twice married, his second
wife dying few years ago and her
death caused him to brood and grow
careless. He was nearly sixty years of
age. He had been a resident of Wau-
sau for over twenty years and was a
cabinet maker by occupation. He is
survived by eight children The funeral
was held Saturday afternoon from the
home of his son, Will, TIA Fifth street,

The committee on public property, to
which had been referred petition of the
Lowenthal & New Co, asking for dona-
ton of an additional three acres of land,
submitted its report. The committee
recommended that the company be
given the right to pile bolts on the land
in consideration of the payment of 81
per year. The council adopted the
report.
In view of the fact that only one bid
had been submitted for building the
addition to the east side engine house,
the board of public works was author
lied to act as it thought best. Miller &
Krause submitted a bid for doing the
work for $79S.
The board of public works was in
structed to seek new location for the
city stone crusher and to report at the
next meeting.
s. M. Quaw petitioned the council to
allow him to build house on property
known as Birch street. He offered to
give bond to the city in the sum of
$4,000 as protection for its interests.
The city attorney, upon being called
for an opinion, said that the land as it
now stood belonged to the city, but that
in case that part of the city is plated
the land will belong to Mr.. Quaw. The
matter was referred to the committee
on streets and bridges and board of
puhlic works and each alderman was
instructed to make personal inspec-
ton of the grounds.
A petition to place telephone in the
home of Henry Miller, chief of the fire
department, to be paid for by the city,

A petition to place fire gong in the

B. B. NOTES.

President Moll claims that the figures
show that the attendance at games in
the Wisconsin-Illinois league this sum
mer prove gain of over Sc, 600 or twen-
ty-five per cent better than last year,
Notwithstanding rainy weather in the
early part of the season. Another effort
will be made the coming winter to get
the league into higher class.
President Moll is going to make a
strenuous effort to have the salary limit
cut down and get rules passed which
will severely penalize any club found
guilty of paying higher salaries than
provided by the league laws. This year
every club was over the salary limit.
Lacrosse has filed protest of five
games won by Madison against the
former city on the ground that Conroy.
an ineligible player, was played by
Madison. Conroy belonged to the Ft
Wayne team of the Central league. If
the games are thrown out it will place
Lacrosse second in the percentage
column and nearer to Wausau. La
Crosse shouted with glee when Presi-
dent Moll was persuaded to throw out
two games won by Wausau from the
Hawleyites because Baker played on
our team. There will probably be more
rejoicing if Moll throws out the five in
which Conroy participated.
Flynn of Lacrosse led the pitchers of
the Wisconsin, Illinois league for the
season of 1908 in the percentage of
games won. The percentage of the first
ten is as follows:

FIRE AT WERHElM'S.

A fire broke out last Tuesday even
ing in a building at the Werheim Mig.
Co.'s plant and for short time threat
ened the destruction of the entire plant,
inasmuch as everything is so dry at
present. The building is one wherein
is stored mouldlngs and like products.
The watchman passed through the
yards shortly before the fire broke out
in its greatest fury and saw no signs of
fire. The fire burned very briskly and
was discovered just in time. The dam
age to the stock and building amounted
to 81 900 or over. Three years ago last
month the company lost its dry shed
containing thousands of feet of dry
lumber and just one week later the fac
tory went up in smoke. In each in
stance the insurance carried was not
sufficient to cover the loss.

PIONEER LUMBERMAN DIES.

Pat Meehan, prominent citizen and
retired lumberman died at his home in
Milwaukee, Wednesday, after a pro-
lOnged illness. He had suffered for
quite a while from acute indigestion,
and drinking ice water while coming
home from Chicago recently is sup
posed to have aggravated his ailment and
TO have hastened his death. Mr.. Meehan
and his brothers, Jack, Martin and
James were among the best known
lumbermen in this section a decade
ago. He was born in Quebec, Can,
Feb. Is, 1888, and in 1854 came to this
country and settled in Stevens Point,
where he and his brothers engaged in
the lumber business. He made for
tune and about twenty years ago retired
from business to enjoy the fruits of his
labor, but soon after was induced by
his brother James, to re-engage in the
business in Minnesota. Twelve years
age he retired, permanently.
All of the old settlers living in this
section, who were acquainted with
deceased, speak of him in the highest
terms. While living in Milwaukee he
became well known for his many chari-
ties and kindness to young men start
ing out in life. He was a member of
the Old Settlers club of that city and
of the Knights of Columbus.
Deceased is survived by his wife, the
three brothers mentioned, and two
sisters, Mrs. L. N. Anson, of Merrill, and
Mrs. Judith MoyIan Of Portland, Ore.
The brothers places of residence are as
follows: James, Milwaukee Martin,
Puyollup, Wash; Jack, Thief River
Falls, Mimi.

would afford an agreeable shade. A

He has put Wausau fourth in place
of third, and if he has treated other
clubs as he did Wausau it is fair to pre-
sumo that his figures are wrong. He
gives us 269 more in attendance than
the books of our club show. Osh-
kosh, has nearly double the population
of Wausau. If he padded that city's
attendance in ratio to population it is
easy to see why we are crowded into
