CHASE MOTORCYCLE
RATHER THAN FREEDOM
A Man Arrested for Burning Up the
Streets.

NJ. w. King yesterday put himself
on record as preferring to be locked
in the city Jail rather than to be
separated from his motorcycle, al
though it is rather doubtful whether
he will be permitted to ride the gaso-
line steed within the bounds of his
cell OF course, when a motorcycle
is mentioned in connection with the
city Jail the name of speed Spe-
cialist" Thompson should come 10
the mind of the reader.
1t happened like this King was
returning yesterday morning from
the fire on Van Buren, street. but
somehow he imagined that he was on
a fire wagon and that the highest
speed was necessary to reach his
point Of destination. This act was
noticed by Officer Thompson, who
Immediately began to ascertain by
expert methods the number of miles
an hour that King was travelling
On Monroe street between First and
Second streets, he had attained the
rate of Is miles per hour inside the
limit where 10 miles per hour is the
eStdDliSHeu Speeu ptiiIlSSiDlt Dy CITY
ordinance No. 406.
Before City Recorder Thomas he
pleaded not guilty to the charges pre-
ferred against him. The testimony
of Officer Thompson was introduced
which was unimpeachable because Of
the speedometer on his machine
King was accordingly given the choice
of a SIS fine or fifteen days in the
city Jail With unusual dignity he
chose the latter.
He said in the court that ne could
raise the necessary SIS. but he pre-
ferred to serve 10 days rather than
is leave his motorcycle in the hands
of the police. He is an employc of
the Thayer Hardware store. He was
told that leniency would be given in
his case if he desired it, He said that
he could procure SIS from Ezra
Thayer but did not want IL.
Lock me up" he demanded Down
he went safely in the guardianship
of Jailer Perrin. a little later Chief
of Police Moore chuckled To himself
and said: He will change his mind
when he gets down below in the
menagerie of wild animals"

HAS MASTERED IT.

Chas. Wegner is greatly pleased
with his Reliance motor truck. He
can now operate it like a veteran,
and he picked up its intricacies in a
remarkably short time. An agent of
the company, G. P. Girard, after ex-
planning the workings of the trucks
machinery, would at times purposely
throw something cut of gear while
Charley's back was turned, just as a
test of the latter's skill. Mr.. Wegner
would at once start an investigation
which would result in determining
the cause. The agent left here last
week highly pleased with Mr.. Veg
ner's mechanical ability. The use of
this truck greatly simplifies the dray
business, and it is believed that be-
fore long Others will be brought to
the city. Local manufacturers who
have considerable heavy draying to
do have been Investigating the merits
Of such truck. and we learn that a
demonstration car will soon be sent
here, so that these manufacturers can
more fully determine their worth.

CHARGED WITH ARSON.

Some things connected with the
Mosinee fire last Tuesday night led
the people of that village to believe
that the fire was of incendiary origin.
Because of alleged remarks which had
been made by him and suspicious
actions since the fire, Chas. Blake was
suspected and was kept under sur
yeillance. The state fire warden's of
fee was communicated with and W.
E. Finnegan, fire marshal of Green
Bay, and J. E. Florin of Madison, an
attorney came to Mosinee to inyesti-
gate matters They found enough
evidence a. ainst Blake, they thought,
to cause his arrest and on Saturday, a
warrant was issued and served upon
him. He was brought before Judge
Marchetti in whose court he pleaded
not guilty and examination was set
for next Monday. His bail was fixed
at $1,000. The wilful destruction of
about 100000 of someone else's prop
erty is pretty serious matter. The
warrant for Mr.. Blake's arrest was
sworn to by the deputy fire warden
The latter has not disclosed what
evidence he found against Blake.

FIRE ON EAST HILL.

Last Saturday noon flames were
discovered issuing through the roof
of j. n Manson's wood shed, just
back of his residence on East hill, and
before the fire could be gotten under
control by the fire department the
building was pretty well destroyed.
1t seems that in the mix up of spring
house cleaning a barrel had been
placed on the south side of the build
ing in which ashes had been placed,
and this was the source of the fire.
Parties living on the other side of
the block saw the smoke arising, but
thought lit was only fire that had
been started to burn up the rakings
from the lawn. 1t was a two story
building, the upper part being used
for storage purposes and in which
was stored considerable furniture be-
longing to Miss Emma Stewart. 1t
had been in the family for years and
for that reason was priced very highly.
The actual damage to the building
and its contents was covered by insur-
ance.

Frank II. Pardoe today completed
deal for the greater part of the Means
addition on Grand avenue, purchasing
all the unsold lots north of the brick
house owned by Herman Ruder. A
portion of this property lies in the vii
lage of Schofeld and portion in the
town of Weston, the whole lying just
across the avenue from the Anderson
park. The consideration is not given
but it is understood to have been in
the neighborhood of 5000. This sale
was effected through Ernest A. Dunn
and Peter Wehrley, who have entered
into an agreement with Mr.. Pardoe to
sell off these lots for him. 1t is posi-
BILE that Mr.. Pardoe will in short
while erect several cottages on some
of these lots and will either rent or
sell them.

BUILDING A LINE ACROSS THE
COUNTY.

The Wisconsin Telephone company
started in with crew of men yester-
day, to build a long distance line
across the county to Abbotsford.
The work is in charge of Chas. M.
Krupp, of Milwaukee, an experienced
man in construction work, and who
is very pleasant gentleman in every
way.
The Wisconsin's long distance SER
vice has not been what it should,
and the company has resolved to give
us more lines and relieve the conges-
ton. The crew started work at the
fair grounds just at the outer limits
of the city and will come from there
into the Wausau Telephone Co. IS CEN
trail Office on the latter's poles.

BASE BALL CHAT.

Since the playing season opened
Wausau has had pretty fair luck,
winning out of 5 games. The club
opened in Rochester last Wednesday
and won the initial game, which went
thirteen innings. Crowds gathered
around the local score boards that
night in such large numbers as to re-
mind one of an election night.
Rochester, which local people thought
weak proved stumbling block, as the
next two games were captured by the
team of that city. The surprise of
the season to local fans was the three
errors made in the second game in
Rochester by Catcher Johnson Of
Wausau and which cost his team the
game. Johnson played in ia games
last season and only made errors.
The Red Wing team looks to be
very weak, and unless Mike Malloy
strengthens up he will have to pay
Corrigan, manager of the Rochester
team that little preseason bet of 500.
G. Williams, pitcher released by
Wausau, will play ball this summer
with Grand Rapids.
Manager Jack Mccarthy is having
his troubles down in Danvill. His
team is the goat of the Three Eye
league. One day last week the fans
threw pop bottles and bricks at the
umpire.
Wausau's pitchers have been work
ing in good form on this trip. Schief-
fer is little wild at times and Mel
son needs little seasoning, but the
game is young, and they will both
steady down.
The Wausau team will open at
home next Monday with Superior.
Nine games will be played on the
home grounds, Winona and Eau
Claire following the northern city.
There will no doubt be a good at
tendance at the opening game. Wau-
sau has winning team this year and
the fans are alive to this fact.
Scrappy Joe Killian's band will be
here for the Sunday game, May %.

An Authority Speaks
of
The Baldwin Piano Contest
The JaireSt to the public Of any and
all price-reductioR sales"
CHICAGO MUSICAL TINES, Oct IA, 1908.
READ THE FOLLOWING
taken from the same issue of this
well-known
PIANO TRADE PAPER:

'The honestly conducted piano con-
test is fair, square and honorable
means OF stimulating trade and Sc
curing large amount OF business in
short time. Honestly conducted, it
enables the holders of certificates to
purchase pianos at substantial reduc-
tions from the regular retail price,
the house holding the contest, making
smaller profits on each sale, but, be-
cause Of the extraordinarily large
amount of business done in a short
time, making greater aggregate pro-
fits than they would have made in
the same time in the course of their
Iordinary business. ~
"The honestly conducted piano con-
test is the fairest to the public of any
and all price-reduction sales, for the
prices are absolutely fixed, the re-
auctions uniform and there is no
chance for the slick salesman to man
ipulate the customer so that he pays
$500 for l'bargainp that the next
man may be able TO buy for 1896.

principal Of the Marathon County
School of Agriculture and Domestic
Economy since Jan. l, 1908, has re-

degrees of honor. His labors since
graduation have been confined to the
work of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Most Of his
time has been spent in Minnesota
and Wisconsin. He was highly rec
commended by the faculty of the uni
versity. He was chosen in preference
to other candidates for the position
partly because of his ability to speak
the Polish, Bohemian and German
languages as well as English. Being
thus equipped he will be able TO in
terest the predominating rationale
ties of the county in the work Of this
school-so the board figures.
The school will close on May q at
which time seven students will be
graduated. At that time Mr.. Crosth-
waite will sever his connection with
the school, as viii also j. A. Bonell,
instructor in manual training. Mr..
Bonell has been connected with the
school for the past six years. He has
offers of several better positions than
he is holding here.
