The Wausau Street Railroad Co. is
at work on the last stretch Of the
conduit system on Third street, work
having been started this morning
digging between Jackson and Forest
streets. When the engine house is
reached the ditch will be dug only
half way across the front, and the
work up to there will be completed
before the ditch is extended to the
manhole on the corner. While the
work is going on either the hook and
ladder or the hose cart will be kept
outside the building and the horses
will be harnessed, so that fire alarm
will not catch the firemen unprepared.
The PILOT some time ago stated
that libel suits had been started by
Postmaster F. w. Kubasta and Sena-
tor Jas. Wright of Merrill, against G.
n. Johnson, editor of the Merrill
Daily Herald. On Thursday last the
papers in the two cases were filed in
the circuit court of this county, a
change of venue having been taken.
Each of the compliments mentioned
asks damages in the sum of
$1,000. The cases grew out of certain
statements made by the Herald fol-
lowing rowdyism and interruption at
the time Senator Borah of Idaho
spoke at the Lincoln county fair in
September. The cases will probably
be tried at the December term of the
circuit court.
