The authorities take little stock in
Eastmans declarations. believing that

vent the stigma of the crime falling

Robert Eastman to his wife was made
public this morning. Eastman says IN
the letter that Mrs. Woodill and two
other women and two men went to
Eastmans bungalow for "a time. -
Mrs. Woodill paid attention to the
other men and a jealous woman

of Wausau parties last Wednesday.
L. A. Hecker, Chas. Cleveland and
John Manser are named in the deeds
as the owners. MeSsrs. Hecker and
Cleveland have heretofore been con-

road Co., the former as bookkeeper
and the latter as solicitor. They will
probably move to Amigo to take
charge of the plant. The deal has
Been pending for several weeks.
The plant has very good equip

viii be made which will furnish more
electrical power and lighting capacity.
Both Mr.. Hecker and Cleveland are
hustling young men and no doubt
they will succeed in extending the
business of the company before they
have been in charge long.

James McCrossen tried to purchase
the property at the northeast corner
of Third and Forest streets of G.. A.

he cared to pay, so he purchased the
corner of Third and Scott streets and
built the stores which now stand on
that site, and occupied by n Heine-
mann. There was no business to
speak of up in this part of the city
at that time but great development
followed. The Bells House, the old

BOUND TO GROW.
The Merrill Herald has it Figured That
the Wisconsin Valley has
Great Future.

The Merrill Daily Herald of the
issue of June 3 says that there is
evidence that great corporation is
TO be formed in Wausau by those in
terested in the Wausau Street Rail
road Co. 1t mentions the fact that
these men are building an interurbaD
line between Nekoosa and Grand
Rapids and have bought the electric
plant in Amigo and, it is rumored,
have an option on the Merrill street
railway company's holdings. The
Herald then goes on to say:
"With street railways in Wausau.
Grand Rapids and Merrill, franchise
at Stevens Point and electric plant
at Amigo, the only other things then
necessary would be interurban con
nectionS extended to Stevens Point.
and Grand Rapids south, Merrill and
Tomahawk north and triangle from
Wausau to Amigo and Amigo to
Merrill, this corporation with head
quarters at Wausau and largely
financed at Wausau, would have a
clnch on the transportation business
OF this section of the state. The
scheme, too, looks very plausible. No
doubt but that interurban roads be-
tween the cities named would pay
and that big. With plenty of cheap
power manufacturing too would spring
up. 1t looks as if the Wisconsin valley
was about TO experience an impetus
in development hardly dreamed of by
the most enthusiastic valley boosters.
The natural resources to be developed
are here. 1T begins, too, now to look
as If the men and money to develop
this section were ready to go ahead.
"The Herald believes this a great
country for opportunity, and we hope
that the indications we have pointed
out will materialiZe TO the fullest ex-
tent.
"There may be those, who may
think that Wausau viii be the great
est beneficiary. Not 50, if the other
towns are up and doing. They can all
prosper with Wausau if they viii; but
they must not go to sleep. If any of
them should, it would be no Rip Van
Wrinkles sleep, as there will be no
awakening"
The last two sentences of the final
paragraph sounds good to Wausau
people.

Mr.. Duncan, who for several months
has been travelling for the Madison
Saddlery Co., will devote all of his
time from now on until September in
the interests of the Marathon county
fair. In giving the fair his individual
attention he will have an opportunity
of making it the best of any yet held
and this he purposes to do.
He has a number of things, i'm a
business way, under consideration for
the future. but has not decided his
course.
Geo. Halder, who has acted as sales
man for him for over two years, viii
spend some time in recuperatioo Of
his health, which has not been of the
best for some time.

LARGE FISH.
They Are Occasionally Caught In Big
Rib River.

There was q muskallonge caught
by one of our fishermen in Big Rib
river last week. This is nothing new.
There have been many caught by our
| citizens in that stream and some
weighing as high as twenty-five pounds.
The stream has its source in Rib lake,
Taylor county, which was at one time
noted for its large emuskallonge. Every
year, as long as the oldest inhabitant
can remember there have been mus
kallonge caught in that stream, only
one now and then, but ''muskys' are
in there. Only few years ago, Dell
McCroSSen, when he was at Edgar, was
out hunting and crossing small
stream tributary to Rib river, saw and
shot large mukallonge and it weig ned,
so Dell said, 80 pounds. At one time
in the early days of our city, Mr..
Smith, who used to spend most of his
time fishing, set his lines down at the
mouth of Big Rib and he would come
home with the most astounding stories
of the large fish that got onto his
lines. He could not rig up d set line
strong enough to hold them. The
fact is muskallonge were there and
they would break his lines or hooks
in trying to land them without using
a gun or gaff. The same thing hap
pened TO a number of our German
citizens several years ago, who would
occasionally go as far up Big Rib as
possible by the railroad and then float
down and fish. On several occasions
the muscallonge played havoc with
their poles and lines. The water in
Rib is low in places and there are logs,
slabs, etc, in the stream and if a large
fish is caught under existing circum-
stances, it is more luck than anything
else. 1t is an easy matter to secure
a large fish in deep water when Ole is
in boat and has plenty of line Tut
with short line and rod and in
shallow water, the fisherman stands
but little chance. OF course what is
written above, We editor can vouch
for but the following which was told
of John Linder, an old and esteemed
citizen of Marathon, many years ago,
we look askance, however the story
is given as told to us: A very large
fish had been seen in Big Rib river
by many citizens of Marathon. Some
placed its weight at $50 pounds and
others at 100 pounds. Good sized fish
were used for bait in angling for this
big fellow and he occasionally was
hooked. One might as well try to
haul i'm a pine log; lines and hooks
and poles were broken without budg-
ing the monster. AT last Mr.. Linder
made up his mind 10 get that fish, 50
he loaded his shotgun and went down
on some rocks from where the fish
had often been seen and awaited his
coming. After hours of watching he
fell asleep: the fish coming along at
that time gained possession of Mr..
Linder's gun, woke him up and drove
him away from the banks of the
stream. For many years, 50 the story
goes, no one fiShed on Rib for fear of
meeting the muSkallonge with the
gun.
