VETERINARY GUESTS
GIVEN AUTO TRIP

About Is visiting veterinary sur
geons who are holding their State
Convention in this city We're given
an automobile ride about our city
this morning. They enjoyed it very
much and were surprised at the mag
nitude of our city, it's manufact turing
industries, its railroads, it's public
buildings and beautiful residences.
They admitted that Grand Rapids
was a stronger city commercially
than they had ever heard of until
their present visit. They report a
very interesting session and splen-
did entertainment. Their program
yesterday afternoon was carried out
as advertised and this morning they
took part in and witnessed about 16
different operations most all of them
being performed with the use Of
ether. The successful outcome of
these operations has been remark
able thus far and the clinic ex-
perience that they have been re
ceiving while attending this conven-
ton has been of great value to them.
The operations were performed IN
DR.. V. P. Norton's stables in this
city. The afternoon program will
be- carried out as advertised and a
fishing trip and outing to the club
houses up the Wisconsin river will
be partaken of by some of the visit
ing guests this afternoon and even
ing. Our visitors are all agreed that
their convention has been given
more notice and attention by our
citizens than is usual outside Of
the local veterinary surgeons. Their
two days stay here has been very
pleasant and profitable. They will
go away from Grand Rapids with
good impressions of our city and her
people. The following automobiles
were freely put in service for our
guests: F. J. Woods, T. E. Nasfs
A, J. Hasbrouck, Geo. w. Da' IS, DR..
A. L. Ridgman, D. J. Arpin, Chas.

MRS. HAUPT SELLS
BUSINESS LOT

Mrs. L. H. Haupt of Milwaukee,
who own business lot 40 feet
wide with a small building thereon
next o the Wood County Reporter
printing office block, closed a deal
for its purchase Tuesday with Mr.. and
Mrs. Levin, who are now doing busi-
ness in the Silber block. The con-
sideration was 5000 cash. 1t is their
intention to fix up the little building
so that it can be occupied temper
arily for some kind of business.
They may put in a new front and
sheet the building with steel sheath
ing and otherwise improve the prem
ises. They eventually intend, and
have purchased the lot with the in
tention of building solid brick block

HE Is AGAIN
In TROUBLE
William Plumber Accused of
Larceny From a Private
Residence at Green Bay.

Stevens Point Journal: William
Pummer, the young man arrested at
Grand Rapids a few weeks ago for
stealing horse from Fred Ball here
last March, and who a few days ago
Was discharged and released from
jail after his father had settled the
expenses and costs in the case. pro-
ceeded to get into trouble again at
the earliest opportunity. He went
from here to Green Bay and went to
the residence of John Ray. who
was employed on the Green Bay G.
Western engine here while Engineer
Doyle was taking lay-off. Mrs. Ray
was also absent from home, but her
brother, Emmett LaHaie, a fireman
on the Green Bay road, was rooming
there nights. Plummer forced a win
dow and gained entrance to the
house. When LaHaie went home he
struck match and was surprised
to see Plummer sitting calmly by
the window, Plummer said, 81 guess
you're the man I'm looking for La
Hale said: "Well, you've got me. I
never saw you before that | know
of. Plummer then proceeded to
explain that he was a particular
friend of Rays and said the latter
sent him down there and told him
he might stay at the house. LaHaie
TOOK chance at his telling the
truth and permitted him to spend
the night with him. He got up at
) in the morning to go to work and
left Plummer asleep. When he re-
turned later he found that Plummer
had ransacked the house and had
departed with his trousers and all
5hey contained and also with a con-
siderable number of other articles of
value taken from various parts of
he house, a grip to carry them in
and key to the house. The Green
Bay police were advised of the oc-
and are conducting a vigor-
JUS search for Plummer, but at last
accounts he had not been apprehend-
I'd. He very likely will be soon,
however, as he is heavy drinker
ind not overly clever.

a. S. OF E. PLAN APPROVED

Special to the Daily Reporter: Re-
ports received from Local Unions,
Shipping Stations and National Lee
turer Long, who is leading the cam
paign Of organization for the Potato
Growers Department A. S. of E. in
dicate that the growers endorse the
plan outlined for handling the 1909
crop Of potatoes and are pledging
their crops to the Association to
market.
From 5000 to $4,000 bushels or,
more accurately, acreage sufficient
to produce such quantities are
signed up at each meeting.
The fact that the possibilities Of
losses, either on sales or from pay
ing a high price and later selling
for less, have been eliminated ap-
peals strongly to the Management
and Stockholders in the Local Ware
houses and is not Objectionable to
the growers as they will be given
a liberal advance on their crop when
delivered to the warehouse if re-
quired still keeping their potatoes
off unfavorable markets.
Another thing each locality keeps
its own potatoes until sold and when
sold payment is made direct to the
warehouse from which shipped.
Organized Labor of the Cities rep
resenting fifteen or twenty millions
City consumers will cooperate with
the Department and by special COM
mittees urge and recommend to the
large dealers in the cities that they
produce their supplies through the
Association and bearing the Farm
ers' Union Label
This is effective organization. 1t
has taken time to accomplish it
but all reforms take time The
Dump" method or lack of method
of selling farm products will soon
be thing Of the past Already the
cotton growers, the tobacco growers,
the wheat (grain) growers, the wool
growers and many fruit growers are
practicing reflective cooperation" as
so strongly recommended by the Com
mission on County Life and it looks
like the Potato Growers would
profit from the experience of others
and intelligently and comparatively
market the 1909 crop.
Every success to their effort. 1t
is a move in the right direction.

RIGHT HAND BADLY CUT

Joseph Kadji, an employee in the
wood room Of the Nekoosa Paper
Mill met with an accident early Mon
day morning in which his right hand
was badly cut from the wrist d1agOn-
ally across the back of the hand to
the fore finger, while working on
the Sitting machine. The doctor in
dressing it was obliged to put in
eight stitches on the back of the
hand and four in the palm of the
hand to close up the gaping wound.
The patient is getting along nicely
though he is suffering considerable
pain. This was a close call in los
ing the entire hand.

discovered and the fire company in
the mill were able to extingulsh 1t

TRAGEDY DUE TO
REJECTED LOVE
Ole Sinkelson, a Prosperous
Farmer Near Merrill, Fatally
Wounds Anna Hasten.

Merrill, Wis, July 12.-Crazed with
the torture of rejected love, Ole
Sinkelson, 80 years old, prosperous
farmer living six miles from here,
fatally wounded Monday afternoon
Anna hasten, the daughter of a
neighboring farmer, sent a bullet
through her mothers arm, and then
killed himself
Sinkelson had wearied of keeping
bachelors hall and for months had
been assiduous in his attentions to
Miss Hasten, who, although only 10
years old, had been married and di-
Vorced. She had repeatedly refused
70 be his wife and the double trag,
edy came as a sequel to his final
unaVailing effort to persuade her to
change her decision.
Three Bullets Take Effect.
High words were heard by others
in the house and then came the
sharp crack of a revolver, repeated
twice Mrs. Hasten rushed into the
room where the couple were and
found her daughter on the floor with
one bullet through her left breast
and two through her right. When
she appeared Sinkelson turned the
smoking weapon upon her and shot
her in the arm.
When Mrs. hasten fell beside her
daughters almost Iifeless body Sin
kelson calmly walked outside the
house and made a circuit of the yard
He returned almost Immediately and
saw both the bodies PROSTATE on
the floor. Then, either stricken
with remorse or with fear of the
consequences, he reloaded his re-
volver and sent a bullet crashing
through his brain, death being in
stantaneous.
Physicians Give Up Hope.
Attending physicians said Monday
night that the death of Miss hasten
was probably a question of only a
few days.

Land.
Tuesday, July 1S ended the 2O-day
period in which the Ladies Fedora
ton, or rather the residents of Third
Street South, who have the option Of
purchasing strip of land 80 feet
wide and 70 feet deep, facing on
the corner of Third and Vine streets.
the same property that Normington
Bros. were going to purchase for
laundry purposes. Mr.. and Mrs. M.
A. Bogoger % days ago placed a
deed in the hands of the Wood Coun-
ty National bank, for said property.
With instructions that the Ladies Fed
Grafton of property owners, who were
interested in the purchase of the
said property by the payment of
$1,000 to said bank, were to be given
said deed. This was to be accepted
or rejected in 20 days time and that
time expired on Tuesday, July 13.
thus far it has not been accepted
1t now looks as if they did not in
tend to take said land as they in
tended to do or expected to do. The
reason why is not known. This
would have been an excellent oppor-
tunlty to secure said property and
prevent the location Of a barn facing
On the corner of Vine and Third
Street South.
Mr.. Bogoger has no alternative
and cannot move his barn anywhere
else upon his property that will be
more convenient or accessible for
livery purposes than that location.
If he should buy the adjoining lot
and move it facing on Second street
the objection would be just the same
The question arises under these cir
cumstances, 'What are Mr. and Mrs.
Bogoger to do with these buildings
without any loss to them in their
present income?" We understand
from an interview we had with them,
that it will be impossible for them
to move their buildings or take any
further steps in vacating the 20-foot
strip of their property that is want
ed by the city until such time as
the city stops their litigation and
pay the Judgment and costs al
ready against them. The city,
OIL hn ho-
ordered an appeal to the Supreme
Court. This means further and ex-
tended litigation. With these pend
ing, they are wholly at sea, and just
what action or steps they will pur
sue from now on, will depend wholly
upon what rights they have in law.
The action from beginning to the
present time on the part Of the
city they feel has been one persist
ent effort to secure their property
at all hazards without any respect
to their rights and justice in the
case. Thus far in the litigation Mr..
and Mrs. Bogoger have been sustain
ed by jury made up of II farmers
whose Judgment stands $500 and cost
Of suit more than the award offered
to them by the city of Grand Rapids.
They have no disposition to fight,
but have been obliged to defend
their interests thus far in the city
What the outcome will
be is wholly matter of conjecture,
but Mr.. and Mrs. Bogoger say that
they intend to fight for their rights
as they see it, under the present
circumstances.
We are sorry that one Of our old
residents and citizens of Grand Rap
ids cannot secure an amacable set
from the city fathers, and
stop this litigation over matter
that ought to be amacably and justly
