BOLD ROBBERY-ALMOST.

Last Friday evening there was quite
scare up in Yankee Town. Mrs. ID.
II. Manson had gone to Madison and
the Manson home was supposed tOg be
closed for a term of several weeks.
Along in the darkest part Of the night
Pickering light was nOticed-or those
who discovered it thought it fiickered
like a burglars flash light, and all
were sure that a person could be seen
tip-toeing about. Herb was located
by telephone and told to hurry up
if he wanted to save any of his
solid silver, diamonds, oriental rugs,
etc. Rufe Manson, W. B. Scholield
and others were near at hand, and the
latter with his trusty Remington
was first on the ground and had the
house surrounded ready for Herb to
open up the same. 1t was the gen.
eral impression that the Minocqua
bank robbers were inside, determined
to make better haul than before,
they only having 6agged about $1,000
at Minocqua. Stealthily the door was
opened, and stealthily brave men crept
to the lighted rooms, but nothing
was disturbed, not even the 81, 900 bill
which Herb had left earlier in the
evening lying upon the marble mantel.
Herb had just left the electric light
turned on-that's all. The party re-
turning, silhouetted against the mid
night sky, would have made a striking
picture for frontispiece to a stirring
story of the Daring Robbery in the
Land of the Chippewas." 1t was a
night of excitement just the same,
and all were extremely happy 2 to
think that it was nothing more than
light which had not been turned
off

WAUSAU MAN KILLED.

Word reached this city Friday
morning chat Paul Herman, a resi-
dent of shis city, had been killed the
night before in Ashland. Deceased
resided in the lower part of the city
and formerly had run on the Marsh
field branch of the Northwestern Ry.
The past two summer seasons he run
the night switch engine in the Ash
land yards. OF his death the Ashland
News says: f
Erred HERMAN, the engineer on
the night switch engine on the North
western ore dock, met his death last
evening by falling from one of the
docks. No one knows just how the
accident happened, as there was not
a witness of the fall.
Sat the time of the accident the
engine was standing on the approach
to the dock, and it is thought that
Herman, while oiling his engine,
missed his footing and slipped off.
AS there was no railing, he must
have fallen almost directly from his
engine over the edge of the dock, and
he struck on II by II timber on the
ground, which resulted in his instant
death.
ga few minutes after this must
have occurred, the dock crew began
getting ready to move some cars, and
they then noticed Herriman's disap-
pearance, and upon investigation
found him lying on the ground be-

The remains were taken to Chiffon

HANDSOME WAGON.

A. +. Stanke, who has for years had
pop corn stand at the northwest
corner of the county square, is about
to purchase a wagon outfit, in which
to do his work. For week past he
has had one here on trial. 1t is an
elaborate office very pretty to look
upon. IL is lighted up by electricity;
is large enough 10 allow two men TO
work comfortably inside the same. A
little steam engine works corn
pepper and peanut rooster and it has
required the active work of two men
most of the time to supply the de-
mand for these two toothsome articles.
The wagon Is also equipped for hand
ling ice cream cones. 1t also has a
cash register and in fact, everything
necessary TO do a rushing business.
Mr.. Stanke win either purchase this
wagon or another still more modern.
We are told that he intends to tear
down the stand in which he has done
business SO long which stands on the
corner, as he will have his handsome
wagon standing there instead This
will certainly be an improvement
that will be greatly favored by our
citizens.

WELL ATTENDED.

The Katherine Ridgeway entertain
ment. at the opera house last night
was largely attended, and proved to
be an excellent curtain raiser for the
winter course to be given by the Y.
M. G. A. The readings of Miss Ridge
way were enthusiastically received and
her program was one of the best that
could be selected. Miss Evangeline
Bridge at the piano is strong ally to
Miss Ridgeway in providing entertain
ment. Her selections were well chosen
and she displayed talent of unusual
merit, Miss Ridgeway is not stranger
among us and those who heard her
when she was here before were out
again last night to ascertain whether
or not she would excel her former
effort. She did, and she will always
be greeted with large audience in
Wausau. If last nights entertain
ment was forerunner of the balance
of the course, the Y. M. G. A. can be
assured of good attendance at each OF
the numbers to follow.

BUY STAMPS.
A Mail Carrier on One Of Our Rural
Routes Asks q Pertinent Question.


Now that the cold weather is COM
ing on let us see how many of the
patrons on the r. +. ID. routes will
come out and buy supply of stamps
for the winter. Sometimes the
patrons wonder why it is that the
carrier is cranky and comes along
about half an hour later than usual,
but they never stop to think why it
Is. But when the carrier has to dig
In box for a penny that is frozen TO
the box, and perhaps has to get out
his jackknife 70 pick it loose, and
then maybe I: drops in the snow and
he has 10 get out and look for it, or
take one out of his own pocket, Just
stop and think and you will know
why he is little cross once in a
while. Remember the stamps will
not be any cheaper in the winter
than they are now Tom.

STEVENS POINT
VS.. WAUSAU.
Football Played st Stevens Point Sat
urday.-Score 90.

Our high school football team PLAYED
the Stevens Point high school team
at Stevens Point Saturday. Neither
team scored but nevertheless the game
was clearly Wausau's. The Stevens
Point team was very much heavier
than ours, each of our men playing
against an opponent fully fifteen
pounds heavier than himself The
only time Stevens Point had the ball
in our territory was at the beginning
of the second half. Stevens Point
kicked off and on our second down we
tried a forward pass which failed.
This put us back to our fiye-yard line.
Foster punted from five yards back of
the goal to the fifty-yard line. Here
Stevens Point got the ball in our ter
ritory but tried an on-side kick but
Eggebrecht secured the ball and car
ried it into their territory.
Several times Wausau had the ball
almost to the goal but failed to score.
One time we were two and one-half
yards from the line on our last down,
but were stopped less than two feet
from the goal. The reason for Wau-
sau not scoring when they came SO
close to it was this: Their team
being SO much heavier than ours, our
playing consisted in end runs, kicks
and forward passes which accounted
for our long gains in the middle OF
the field But near the goal, where
the safer method was line bucking,
the great weight OF the Stevens Point
team held our boys.
Every man in the line played the
game of his life. Back of the line,
Fosters kicking was marvellous. Hub
bard was great on cross bucks. Egg
gelbrecht backed up the line with his
usual steadiness, and Brown ran the
plays with remarkable ability.
