STEALING APPLES.

w. II. Marsh of Antigo being the
highest bidder, the apple crop at the
states trial orchard on the Gensman
farm was sold TO that gentleman.
The crop this season is very light and
probably will not yield over 600 bush
els. This is due as much TO the of
year as to the season. Following the
heavy crop of last year not much
could be expected this year The
crop is fairly we'll distributed over
the orchard.
Invitations to visit the orchard
have this year been limited to those
who are interested in fruit growing,
and who want to learn what kinds of
fruit are adapted TO Wisconsin. To
such people a hearty welcome is ex-
tended, and every effort will be made
TO give them the benefit of the work,
that has been done. Those who de
sire TO 90 to the orchard, Just as
mere sight-seers need not expect TO
get a very warm welcome People
from this city 90 out Just for pastime
and TO beg few apples. They are
not profitable visitors. 1t costs money
TO entertain whether it be in the par
lor Of ones residence or in an orchard.
Last year the state paid Mr. Marsh
sum Of money for his trouble in en-
tertaining visitors, and for the fruit
handed out. This year no such pro-
vision has been made and whatever
expense he is under is wholly his own.
The state no longer owns the fruit
every apple belongs 10 Mr.. Marsh.
The state, however, proposes TO pro
tect Mr. Marsh against thieyery, and
to that end offers a reward Of $50 for
the apprehension OF anyone guilty Of
stealing any fruit out al the orchard.
There appears TO be an ignorant, law
less element, which actually believes
that because this orchard belongs 70
the state, the fruit is public property.
For several years fruit has been stolen
out Of the orchard, and this season
several bushels have been taken.
Here is An opportunity for someone
TO make $50. Get the evidence and
then inform Frederic Cranefeld, sec

WAUSAU OF YESTERDAY.

Elsewhere on this page will be
found cut of Wausau as it appeared
in lS67-forty-three years ago. This
picture should be of interest to old
and young alike. To the old settler
it brings back memories of the past,
and TO the young it shows how the
village, as it was then Incorporated,
appeared nearly half century ago.
The first houses were built along
the river, and consequently the main
part of the town was then as you see
it in the cut. You will observe that
the section covered today by Wausau'S s
most beautiful buildings was then a
wilderness, and there is little in the
picture to indicate the Wausau of the
present. There are few buildings
shown, which are still in existence,
but for the most part nearly all have
since been torn or burned down, and
have been succeeded by ones of more
pretentious calibre.
The picture was taken from Clarke's
island, and shows portions of Wash
ington and what was once known as
Shingle street The latter street is
in the foreground and is what is now
traversed by the G. & N w. and c..
NJ. & st. 7. transfer tracks.
Anyone familiar with the village as
it stood at that time will recognize
some of the old buildings. To the
right are shown two structures, which
are still standing. The one on the
south side, with the white front was
built by Aug. Kickbusch and used By
him for years as hardware store.
The other is the one at the corner of
First and Washington streets occupied
so long by Mr.. KickbuSch as general
store. To the north of this can be
seen the old Lake Superior House,
situated on what is now the public
library grounds On that lot was a
large mound, which, when opened,
was found to contain the remains of
a number of Indians buried head to
head in the form of star, and Indian
relics. To the west of this building
can be seen a low structure. This
was occupied in later years as bus
barn. This was situated almost oppO-
site to where the city hall now stands.
In the middle of the picture can be
seen large, white building. This
was the old McIndoe residence, torn
down few years ago to make room
for the public library. Midway be-

Nearly every section of the world is
noted for some one or more things, if
it is nothing more than an arid
desert. In writing of Marathon
county one might name several fea-
lures which have caused this county
to become known all over the state,
and in neighboring states, but we
started out to mention one of our
natural resources granite. There is
perhaps no other section of the uni
verse 50 rich in varied grades of
granite deposits as this county. We
have the red ruby, the brown, the
grey and the green GRANTEES. Other
sections have as large deposits of
some one particular kind of stone,
but none can boast of so many var
ieties, all found within a radius of a
few miles, and in apparently mex
haustible quantities. For years the
product of Marathon county's granite
quarries has been shipped to all sec
tionS of the country, and the output
is yearly increasing. The Marathon
Granite Co. of this city, and Ander-
son Bros & Johnson of Granite
Heights each employ a large force of
men throughout the year, in quarry
ing rock and dressing their products
for the market. These plants pay
far better wages than most lines of
manufacture we have, and are of
great benefit to our community.
The first quarry TO be opened was
at Granite Heights, or Kickbusch sta
tion as it was known for a great
many years. Here a large ledge of

SEVERELY INJURED.

William Gamble, seven-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. W. w. Gamble, met
with a very serious accident last
Thursday afternoon, at his home on
Warren street, which resulted in badly
shattering his left hand. The little
fellow went over to Rib Falls with his
father in the afternoon in the auto
mobile, to which place the latter
makes daily visits to look after his
lumber interests. They returned
home between five and six o'clock and
after a visit with his mother and lit
tie sisters and play with his kittens,
William went to the woodshed at the
rear of the house, where loud eXplo-
sion was heard a few moments after
wards. His cries brought the men,
bers of the household to his side i'm
mediately and it was found that his
left hand was badly injured. Luckily
Mr.. Gamble was at home and his
automobile at the door, and in less
than five minutes he had two doctors
in the house. 1t was decided TO take
him to st. Mary's hospital, where the
injured hand could be dressed TO bet
ter advantage. While the hand was
badly lacerated it was only found
necessary to amputate the thumb at
the first Joint. William passed
through the ordeal bravely and on Fri
day morning he was brought home
and he is now able to be about and IS
rapidly improving.
THE CAUSE.
1t seems that Mr.. Gamble has a
place for his automobile in a building
which is also used for storing goods
for his saw mill and general store
among them being some dynamite
caps. William had often rode over
with his father, but he had never
seemed TO want anything before but
candy and other good things TO eat.
This time he discovered some dyna-
mite caps, with which he proceeded
TO fill his pocket, but when this was
done his father cannot imagine.
When he went TO the woodshed at
his home, he took a hammer with
him and tried to drive one OF the
caps into a block OF wOod-hls left
hand being near the cap-Wlth the
result as above stated. 1t was by the
mereSt luck that the little fellow eS-
capped with his life, as it was found
that he had placed one of the caps in
his mouth and shut his teeth down
upon it SO hard that it was fiattened.
1t makes one shudder to think Of
what might have happened. William
is an especial favOrite in the neigh
bollIood where he lives and he has
many SympathiZing friends, young
and old, who hope for his early re-
cOyerY.

tween the McIndoe homestead and
the Lake Superior House, as shown
in the picture, can be seen a long
barn. This was built by John LeMes-
surfer and occupied a site on Wash
ington street, between First and Sec
ond This structure was torn down
last spring, known as Walkers livery
stable.
The logs seen in the foreground, on
which the boys are sitting, were
hauled from the western side of the
main channel of the river. The
island in those days was covered, at
certain times of the year. with great
rollways of as fine white pine logs as
were ever cut. They were later, as
exigencies demanded, dumped into
the slough and were sawed in the
Plumer, Clarke and McIndoe mills.
The only regretable feature of the
picture is that the mills, ana other
buildings situated near them, are not
shown,

ter of the late Andrew Young, former
postmaster of Wausau. They have
one child, little son, Tyler, two
years of age.
He often visited in this city, the

many here who knew and honored
him. AS an example of his character
we reprint the following, clipped from
an Oshkosh dispatch to Milwaukee
newspaper:
zone of the most beautiful things in
Mr.. fuckers life was his fidelity to
his mother. He was practically her
sole support for many years. From
boyhood also Frank Tucker had
worked hard because of the straight
ened circumstances of the family and
his untiring industry and care for his
mother and sister, as known by the
people of Winnebago county, had
made him greatly loved and respected
here"
Relatives of deceased in this city

Frank Il. Tucker of Madison, second
assistant attorney general, was
drowned at an early hour Thursday
morning in the Fox river at Oshkosh.
On Wednesday evening he attended
republican meeting in Oshkosh, Oc-
cupying seat Ola the stage at the
time a political address was being
made After the meeting he spent
some time with f. f.. McGovern, Geo.
Beedle and {. +. HOumans and then
retired TO his room in the fremont
hotel. He arose at about 3:35 asked
the night clerk for some stationery,
wrote letter to his wife, mailed it
and then left the hotel. That was
the last seen of him alive. At about
1 O'Clock a barge whiStled as signal
TO open the draw bridge crossing the
Fox river The bridge tender got up
out of his bed. While he was putting
on his shoes he heard a splash in the
water, but thought someone had
thrown something into the river.
He opened the bridge to let the barge
pass and after closing ii he took
short walk and found a Satchel and a
mans hat on the bridge. AS soon as
it grew light enough he made an
examination of the Satchel and saw
that the name plate read Frank
Tucker, Madison.
a search of the river was at once
instituted and at about ten O'Clock
the body OF Mr. Tucker was recovered.
His gold watch had stopped at 4:5S.
MIR. Tucker was candidate for the
republican nomination for attorney
general Recently he had been in 4
state bordering ON nervous collapse
because il had been charged by
enemies i'm his own party That cam
paign matter in his behalf had been
sent out in envelopes belonging TO
the state tire warden, StlckeTS having
been placed over the return card.
MIR. Tucker made a denial OF the
charge, aud expressed fear that he
could not clear The matter up I'm time
before his chances for receiving the
nomination we're injured, The miss
ing envelopes did not exceed in Talue
so. Ali of the state officials held
Mr Tucker blamelsSS in the matter
and considered the charge frame
no" to iniure his political chances,
The charge, however, greatly worried
him. and his physician advised him
TO go home and take rest.
Mr.. Tucker was forty-SiN years OF
ape. He Vas born in Michigan, but
his father having been killed al the
battle OF Chattanooga, his mother
moved 10 Omro. this state where he
received a common school education
and later was graduated from AN

served two terms in the state assem-

law examiner. In 1906 he was ap-
pointed second assistant attorney

rock on the east side of the river was
the source of supply for years. The
red granite taken from it was very
hard, took handsome polish and had
many characteristics possessed by no
other granite. The business grew,
and today the red granite of Mara
thon county is being shipped into
every state in the union. Ledges of
a brown stone were discovered later
and are being worked in connection
with those producing the red stone.
The red and brown rock at the
Heights is now quarried on the west
side of the river and is hauled to the
finishing plant on the east side cross
ing the river on a ferry boat.
Another quarry on the east side of
the river, just above the Heights,
was opened this summer. This con-
tains a grey granite similar 70 the
Barry granite of Vermont. Little of
this stone has as yet been put on the
market. 1t shows a fine texture and
promises to rival the Vermont article.
Marathon county would be rich if
it contained no other species of rock
but the three mentioned, but there
is another, in the production of which
it stands alone and without a rival.
This is the green granite. In the ac-
comparing cut is shown a ledge of it,
and also the man whose energy caused
this quarry to be opened, r.. E.
Parcher, in fact it is known as the
Parcher granite. This granite is be-
ing quarried in the town of Stettin
about seven miles northwest of the
