The Liederkranz society gave it's
annual picnic Sunday at Sharpshooters'
park. There was large attendance

Herman Hoffman, aged thirty-two
years, died Sunday at his home, 2l3
n. Fifth Ave, as a result of an at
tack of heart failure. He had been a

An effort is being made to prove
that the body of the man found near
the county line not far from Eland
Jet. a short time ago, is that of
Joseph Sladkey of Oconto Falls, who

key was known to have sum of

The First National bank has pur-
chased 35 calibre automatic Reming-
ton rifle as precautionary measure
against holdup, such as the German
American bank of Merrill experienced
last June. The rife is one of the
very latest models After it is loaded
six shots can be fired as fast as ole
can pull the trigger. With such a
rifle in an institution of this kind it
will not be an easy matter for bank
robbers to make their escape in case
of holdup.
Now that the farmers are threshing
and the time has arrived when most
of them have vegetables, chickens and
other farm produce for sale, what's
the matter with our merchants reyiy-
ing the market day movement? 1t

late in the fall. A little later the
farmers will have ducks, geese, pota-
toes, hay, beef, pork, wood and other
produce to sell, and Wausau people
will be more eager to buy than they
were last fall.

VIM. Balzar, resident of the town
of Halsey, was arrested yesterday by
Frank O'Connor, undersheriff, upon
complaint of Otto Schipparowski.
The latter alleges that one of his cows
was recently badly cut up and he
charges that Balzer did the cutting,
using an ak. Balzer claims the COW
