The Wausau Oil and Gas Co. has
been dissolved, the stockholders sell
ing their stock and drill to Messrs.
r. e. Powers and j. w. Coates. The
company controlled leases on about
1900 acres of land in Oklahoma, which
were purchased at the rate of 81 per
acre. A short time ago some of the
stockholders started suits to recover
the money they had invested, but
these suits have been withdrawn.
Levi Fleming, the the oldest resident
of Wausau, and man known by al
most every one, had bad fall
recently, and as result carries a
bandaged eye. He tripped on the
sidewalk near his home on Mobile
Ave, and fell to the walk, badly
bruising his right eye. Mr.. Fleming
will be lightweight years of age next
month. The hardships he has gone
through and an open air life have
made him rugged, as he demonstrated
last Friday when seen running around
town in his shirt sleeves, when many
of the younger generation were wear
ing oyercoats.
What was perhaps the largest piece
of express matter to be handled in the
Wisconsin valley in many years, passed
through here Wednesday evening 1t
was one of the calendar rollers of
paper making machine, taken out of
the paper mill in Merrill and weighed
approximately two tons. The work
of loading it into the express car de-
layed the train twenty minutes. The
roller met with a slight scratch and
as these rollers must be perfect to do
the work, it was necessary to send it
in to the factory to have the scratch
ground out. The owners could not
afford to let the machine lie idle very
long and to save time the roller was
shipped by express. The charges on
it will amount to considerable.
In the presence of the city's alder
men and quite number of citizens,
the new fire engine was given another
test on Wednesday. AT the same
time the ole engine was worked,
merely for the purpose of drawing a
comparison. The latter was in charge
of Mike Kriskey, engineer, while two
men in the employ of the Knott En-
CINE Co. of Minneapolis, makers of
the new engine, handled the latter.
The old engine raised 120 pounds of
steam in fifteen minutes while the
new one raised 40 pounds in eleven
minutes. The Knott company in
this test placed another kind of an
exhaust nozzle on the engine than
the one used in the first test, and the
result was that the engine worked
more satisfactorily.
Rivalry in business was the primary
cause of a suit which will be tried in
municipal court Oct. lst. Fred and
August Treu of the town of Stettin,
were arrested early last week upon
complaint of August Kamke of the
same town, who charged that the
brothers had whipped him, and who
presented several facial exhibits to
subStantiate his claim. The Treu
brothers own a threshing machine
and so does Kamke, and there has
been more or less rivalry between
them. The Treu brothers, while pre-
pairing TO threSh farmers grain
recently, found several large rocks in
a number of the sheayes of grain
which they claim were placed in them
by Kamke They accused him of it
and an alteration ensued, resulting
in the latter being beaten full
Sore He then had them arrested.
