WO PRISONERS
PRY WAY OUT OF
NEWFANt JAIL
Alleged Horse Thief and Alleged
Burglar at Liberty
OFFICERS HAVE NO CLUE
George H. streeter Charged with Bur-
gIary, Had Broken Out Of Same
Jail Before.

Brattleboro, April 1.-Word has
been received here of the escape of
two prisoners from Windham county
jail at Newfane Tuesday night. They
were Archie ST. Peters, awaiting trial
on the charge of horse stealing at
South Londonderry and George II.
Streeter of Greenfield. Mass, held for
trial charged with burglary at the
Central Vermont railway station here
last fall.
This was Streeter's second break as
he scaped the week after he was COM
mitted and was not captured until he
had reached Pittsburg, Pa, whence he
was brought back here. The men last
night manged to ply off two steel
straps at the back of the cell and an
iron bar from the outside window
making an opening big enough to
crawl through. The authorities of all
the surrounding towns were notified
but there is nothing to indicate in
what direction the men had gone.

CHURCH USES HIS TEETH
North Adams Young Man Bitten in ;
Scrap.

The occupants of the Putnam House
Office and people on the street in the
vicinity of the hotel were witnesses
early Wednesday evening of a lively
scrap in which Edward Gray, a young
man from North Adams, and Edward
Church of this village, were the par
Elephants.
The stranger, who was apparently
not anxious TO get into trouble, at
tempted to make his way into the
Putnam house but Church, who ac-
cording to the bystanders appeared
to be the aggressor, followed Gray in
TO the storm vestibule of the hotel.
Here Church got the North Adams
young mans left thumb in his mouth
and bit it so severely that the blood
flowed freely.
Gray went into the Putnam House
and sat down in one of the office
chairs where he was soon afterward
found by Chief of Police Patrick Bra
zell and taken TO States Attorney w
j. Meagher's Office.
In the meantime the states attor-
ney had been making inquiries of the
witnesses to the affair and at once is
sued a warrant for Church who had
disappeared down West Main street.
At the States Attorney office Gray
told an apparently straightforward
story in which he claimed that Church
was the aggressor but admitted that
he punched the Bennington man good
and hard while his thumb was be-
tween his opponents teeth.
Inorder to hold Gray as a witness
it was necessary for the states attor-
ney to issue warrant for him. He
furnished bail and returned to North
Adams with the understanding that
he was to be on hand when wanted In
the proceedings against Church.

FOR BEATING HIS BOARD BILL
Magazine Agent Sentenced to Term in
Jail.


Jail
Henry Swanson, who il is claimed
has Travelled through the country sol
letting subscriptions to the Ladies
World of New York, under the names
of Harry Scoville and Henry Court,
vas Wednesday sentenced to pay
fine of 500 in default of which he
went to jail, for attempting to defraud
Mrs. George A. Miller of the Cottage
hotel out of q board bill.
A few weeks ago Mrs Miller was
loser of a board bill through the dis
appearance of George ]. Sanderson
and Gordon McMullen, two solicitors
for the Ladies' World who worked for
a time in this village. She wrote to
the office OF the publication and re-
ceived in reply a letter from the circu-
lation manager in which Sanderson
and McMullen were referred to as
crooks" who had occasioned the pub
LEGATION much trouble in many New
England cities by collecting subscrip-
tions and falling to return the money.
The circulation manager stated that
the two crooks" as he called them,
had not been engaged by the office
but by sub-agent named Harry SEQ
Vile whose last address was Pitts
field
When Mrs. Miller suspicioned that
Swanson was preparing to leave as
Sanderson and McMullen had done,
she sought the aid of States Attorney
Meagher and turned over to him the
letters she had received from the
magazine house. Communication with
the chief of police at Pittslield estab-
lshed the fact that Scoville had left
that city without settling his board
bill A telephone call to the chief of
police at Hartford Conn, developed
the fact that a man who gave the
name of Henry Court was wanted in
that city to pay for his keeping and
before States Attorney Meagher fin
ished, It was apparent that Scoville,
Swanson and Court were one and lue
same.
The Pittsfield chief of police was in
town Wednesday on his way to Rut-
land to testify in the Elroy Kent muir
der trial He will stop off here on his
return to Pittsfeld to investigate the
case of Swanson who is now in jail

LICENSES HELD UP.

Upon complaint of the Law and
Order league, a license issued. to
Frank Kruger to conduct saloon at
2l06 Sixth street, was revoked by the
mayor last week. The city clerk re-
moved the license from the saloon
and destroyed it and Mr.. Kruegers
license fee was returned to him. The
city heretofore had sixty-four saloons
or two over the limit allowed by law.
One has since quit business and when
a license was issued to Mr.. Kruger it
was done on the assumption that the
city still had right 10 issue sixty
four. Mr.. Kruger, we understand,
has engaged an attorney and will set
up the plea that when he made appli-
cation there were sixty-two applicants
ahead of him, not sixty-three, and
that he is therefore entitled to a
license.
Graunke & Schmolze, 1906 Sixth
street, and Jas. Peterson, 2llO Sixth
street, also had their licenses held up.
Other parties had previously made
application for licenses to conduct a
saloon business at the same places,
but later backed out and the last
named parties have petitions in for
licenses to do business in the same
places. AS the council has not had
an opportunity to act on them, the
places are closed. The petitions will
be taken up at tonight's meeting

TO COMPLETE SYSTEM.

The water department has caused
twelve inch pipes to be scattered
along Seventh street beginning at the
intersection of Mcclellan and in about
week or ten days the work of dig
ging trench and laying the pipes
will begin. This is to carry out the
system advocated by the Minneapolis
expert, Tanning, employed by the
city couple of years ago, and the
pipe line will eventually be extended
down to and over the southern portion
Of the city, crossing the river and con-
Meeting with another line on the west
side. The work was started a year
ago from the pumping station and
carried as far as Mcclellan street and
from there up on East bill to the
reservoir, when work ceased because
Of lack of funds. Now that the
city has got the necessary money,
through bond issue, 1t is intended
TO carry out the work. This system
will not only give better supply of
water but will be an aid in fighting
fires in the lower half of the city.
The little four and six inch pipes in
the lower part of the city will have
in this feeder a greater force and be
of greater service in all respects than
they are now.

JULY FOURTH.
The Way Wausau People Celebrated
Independence Day.

The Fourth Tor fifth was very tame
In this city. There was hardly SEM
blance of any manifestation of an
observance. nothing being done in a
public way towards celebrating. Sew
eral bodies held picnics in the fair
grounds park, but the bulk of the
people went to Rothschilds where the
street car company gave program.
This consisted of athletic and acquat-
ic events and one feature of the pro-
gram was an Inhibition of walking
by man of the name of Aug. Rad
datz who is visiting relatives in the
city. He walked five miles in an in
credibly short time and demonstrated
that he is a pedestrian of some abil-
ity. There was an exhibition of fire
works at the park in the evening.
In the afternoon the clerks of the
local post Office played game of base
bali on Stewards island against the
mail carriers. The game was con-
tinued for several hours without one
side being retired. Finally it was
decided to call the game off because
the batsmen were getting weary run
ming around bases. An effort was
made to count the scores, but those
making the effort got dizzy and quit.
There was very little shooting of
fire crackers and very little noise of
any kind. A noticeable fact before
the Fourth was that none of the
stores carried very large stocks of
fire crackers or fire works. We are
told by number of dealers that they
purchased no stocks of such goods
this year. They sold what they had
left from last year and many of them
did not dispose of their stocks at that.
Quite number of people spent the
day out of the city, visiting relatives
in other towns and on the other hand,
quite few people living outside the
city spent the day here. The morn
ing trains brought great many vii
layers to the city who remained here
during the day.
As far as the weather was concerned
it was ideal-not too warm, and rain
less
The attendance at the ball game in
the afternoon was not as large as the
game warranted. Those who attend
ed were repaid for doing SO, for they
saw an extra inning game, mention of
which is made elsewhere.

Sam. Welland, a former resident of
Dancy, and for a number of years a
resident of Wausau died in Portland,
Ore, Saturday, June 26. His death
was due to pulmonary tuberculosis.
Deceased was bornin Dancy twenty
three years ago and made his home
there until a few years since, when the
family moved to this city. He was
graduated from the Marathon County
Training School for Teachers and
later took up teaching in the Wausau
Business college. Last August he
accepted a position as bookkeeper in
the local freight office of the st. Paul
Ry. Co. During the winter the dis
ease which caused his death had made
great inroads on his health and he
was forced to give up work in the
spring and moved with his mother to
the West.
Deceased was an exemplary young
man and gave promise of rising in the
world had his health been spared.
Besides his widowed mother, he is
survived by three brothers and two
sisters. Joseph of Portland; II. t. OF
Manitowoc; Corel and Evelyn, now of
Portland, late of this city, and Mrs.
E. Beardsley of Rhinelander.
The remains were brought to Wau-
sau, accompanied by Corel Welland,
and arrived here at 4o'clock, July 4th,
and we're taken to the undertaking
rooms of Ritter & Deutsch Co. This
morning they were taken to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Hollis, the
latter a cousin of deceased. AT l:30
O'Clock they were taken to st. Johns
church from which the funeral took
place at ? p. M, the Rev. w. E. John
son officiating.
The pail bearers were students OF
the Wausau Business college, viz :
Geo. Anderes, Paul Hooper, Wallace
Puerner, Ashley Roche, Emil Torger-
son, w. j. Wilson.
There were in attendance at the
funeral services besides Corel We'll
land. who accompanied the remains
East, Harry Welland of Manitowoc,
and Mrs. Beardsley of Rhinelander.
Mrs. Welland is entirely overcome by
the death of her son and remained in
Portland, and her daughter, Miss
Evelyn, stayed with her.

For several weeks the crew of John
Manser, at Kelly, has been removing
dead heads from the river. Among
these are all kinds of timber from
different species of hardwood down to
, pine. One day recently pine log
was hauled out bearing the end and
water marks of G. T. Hazeltine. Mr..
HazeItine for many years conducted
the mill now owned by the Brooks &
Ross Lumber Co. in Schofield, AS 1t
is about thirty years ago since he left
there it must be conceded that the
log has been in the water that long,
if not longer. 1t was in a perfect
state of preservation.
Some time ago the crew picked up
pine log which at one time belonged
to William Scholtield, father of w. b.
Scholfeld of this city. The end mark
on this log was peculiar in the fact
that the full name and initials of Mr..
Scholtield was stamped On each log
owned by him, custom not prevalent
in those days not since. Mr.. Scholtield
located in Mineral Point in 1856 and
bought farm. He then came all the
way to what is now Schofield and
which was named after him, the first
''P' in the name being dropped, to pur-
chase lumber to fence his farm with.
He likedthe location and bought half
interest in the original mill there of
man named Martin. The mill burned
and Mr.. Scholtield purchased his
partners interest and rebuilt the
mill, operating it until his death In
1863. The mill was then con-
Quoted by Mrs. Scholfield and G. p.
Hazeltine under the name of G. p.
Hazeltine & Co. AS il takes white
pine log a considerable time to be-
come waterlogged, it is quite presum-
able that the one picked up in the
Kelly pond was cut and banked fifty
years ago. 1t, too, aside from little
decomposition on the outside, was as
sound as dollar. Both, as can be
seen, are early day relics of numbering
on the Eau Claire river.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The management has been negotiat-
ing with a number of new players,
and it is quite likely that some will
report here soon. 1t is hard 10 get
players now, most of them being 'on
the job for some team and not at
liberty.
Manager Mccarthy has taken the
right field position himself and ought
to play every day.
Mclaughlin has been let go land
without taking any chances OF being
accused of being a knocker one2 can
say that some other changes wouh be
beneficial to the team.
The management is, somewhat dis
couraged with the attendance as it
has been up to date, and unless there
is some change Wausau will be the
tailender in this respect.
The team plays well at home, but
is failure on the road. After losing
a whole series in Eau Claire last week
our boys took three out of four from
the. same team at home.
A series is opened with Winona to-
day.
The game of last Saturday against
Eau Claire is said to have been the
finest exhibition of ball given in this
city in long time. Dunbar had per-
feet control of the ball and did not
allow a man to get beyond second
base.
The game of yesterday afternoon
went fifteen innings before Wausau
scored the winning run. The attend
ance was poor for Fourth of july
