MOST ABSORBING STORY
BY JOS, E. GAME,
Secretary of the Commercial Club.

We have all read the Great Salt
Lake Mystery. To me, as contributor
of one chapter, it has proven a most
absorbing study. When ] was APP
preached by Mr.. Douohue 10 contribute
a chapter [ mentally figured that IT
would he impossible for me 10 give any
relative continuance Of the various char.
actcrs introduced in the plot, but l
soon discovered after writing few
lines that ! was not only interested,
but was actually enthusiastic over the
outcome of those of whom [ was re-
quested by The Tribune to write. The
idea in my mind is q novel one and
undoubtedly even the readers of The
Tribune had an unusual opportunity of
discovering for themselves Just what
is possible among our own home talent
in literary products. like the Great
Salt Lake Mystery and The Tribune is
to be congratulated on being able to
form such a galaxy of writers hitherto
unknown, who have figured as ground
work in one of the most remarkable
stories ever written in this city.

FOR FORGERY.

Undersheriff Frank O'COnnor ar
rested Jos. Beining of the town of
Day on Wednesday, the man being
charged with forgery. The complain
ant is John Brinkman, also a resident
of the town of Day.
During the year 1907 Beining was
treasurer of the town of Day. 1t APP
pears that he was like some others
whom the average reader can recall
he got into difficulties and used the
towns money When he went out of
Office, so we have been informed, he
was found short. To cover this short
age he gave note to one of his bonds
men, John Brinkman, for 1000, pay
able at a bank in Marshfeld in six
months, Henry Beining and Mat and
Peter Folz being named as sureties.
The note was placed in the bank and
honored, but when it became due it
was found, so it is claimed, that the
men named as endorsers did not in
fact indorse it.
Beining had in the meantime left
the country and was not located until
few days ago. He recently re-
turned, having been spending the
past few months, he says, in the state
of Washington. Heretofore Beining
is said to have borne an excellent rep
utation and his friends hope that he
will be able to clear himself from his
present difficulties. His examination
was set for this week.

WIRE TORN LOOSE.

A crew working for the Wisconsin
Telephone Co. removed a number of
poles in front of the court house last
Friday. One pole was sawed off even
with the cement walk in the middle
of the McCrossen block. While low
ering the pole it got away from the
workmen and fell over the trolly wire
of the street car company and pulled
out two support wires fastened into
the brick walls of that block. The
trolley wires in consequence ssgEed
and hung within ten feet or less from
the street. A farmer came along the
street about that time, driving team
of horses. He was warned not to get
under the wire, but evidently did not
understand the warning ard drove
directly under the trolley wire.
People on the street yelled at him; he
got excited, pulled his lines gee and
haw and imagined he was In a bug
house 1t is quite probable that had
the wire touched the farmer it would
have done no harm, as he was sitting
on wooden seat with his feet placed
in wooden box. Wood, as We all
know, is a non-condactor. Had the
wires touched his horses there would
have been two new faces in the horse
heaven.
The accident did not stop street car
traffic and the support wires we're
soon re-hung,

BOYS SET FIRE.

The home of Mrs. r. E. Parcher at
the corner of Third and Grant streets
was damaged by fire Wednesday even
ing. The fire was the result of too
much e-Fourth of July celebTa-
tion. Mrs. Parcher left Wausau
about two weeks ago, going to Lynn,
Mass, for visit with relatives.
Knowing that the house was vacant a
number of boys congregated on the
lawn that evening. Some of them
were supplied with quantity of ex-
plosiyes which produce a Fourth of
July noise. They did not content
themselves with shooting fire crack
ers on the lawn, but went onto the
rear porch. Below window on this
porch are number of augur holes,
bored for the purpose of controlling
the temperature in the rooms. In
these holes the boys inserted fire
crackers and it is presumed some of
them were forced through and fell on
the floor inside.
During Mrs. Parcher's absence the
house has been in care of John Lull.
He not being present at the time,
Mrs. j. 3. Hillmer, who lives in VIM.
Waterhouse'S residence next door,
went out to drive the boys away.
When she reached the house she
smelled smoke and Immediately asked
a passerby to ring in a fire alarm,
which he did.
The fire had not gained much head
way and was soon extinguished, but
nevertheless the damage will run
well up into the hundreds. The home
and its furnishings was more OF less
smoked and considerable damage re
rulted from water.
As soon as the loss is adjusted re
pairs will be made and the house
placed in its usual condition Mrs.
Parcher was not notified of the fire,
relatives fearing the news would MAJ
her visit
