SCHWITTAY DENIES MALICE.
Marinette Attorney Makes Answer ir
Libel Suit.

Marinette.-A. E. Schwittay, who is
defendant in a civil action brought by
Attorney p A. Martineau for alleged
libel, filed his answer in the case to-
day.
Schwittay sets up in his answer that
he published the alleged libelous arti-
cles against Martineau as he was in
formed of the facts and believed the
same to be true at that time. He de-
MES any malice and states that it
was because Of his high sense of JUS
tice that he published the articles, in
order that the people in general might
know what kind of lawyers were prac-
ticing in Marinette.
Thus far Schwittay has retained no
other attorney for the $4,000 damage
suit.

HEINEMAN BURNS
REFUGEES ESCAPED TO GLEASON
TWO HOURS PREVIOUS
NO LIVES LOST.
ZIMMERMAN Is A HERO
Appears to Be No Stemming of the
Flames in Central Part of State
While Dry Weather
Continues.

Chicago, Ill. - Reports that sew
eral hundred persons were hemmed
in by flames ct Heinemann, BloomVille
and Gleason, Wis, are incorrect.
This fact was established by tele-
phone communication with Wausau
and Merrill.
The only town in that vicinity
which was practically destroyed by
fire is Heinemann.
Refugees from Heinemann at Glea-
son say the entire town burned at
once, the flames jumping 200 feet and
enveloping every house but two. All
inhabitants, however, had been taken
to Gleason two hours previous and no
lives were lost.
The town of Galloway, thirty miles
south of Heinemann is surrounded by
a wall of fire about ten miles wide but
it is not believed to be in immediate
peril. No lives have been lost so far
as is known Prompt measures were
taken to give ample warning to all
loggers and residents and it is be-
lieved all are now in places Of assured
safety.
How Citizens Escaped.
Heinemann. The saving Of
the lives of all of the people Of
Heinemann was done to the energetic
action of H. H. Heinemann who took
a st. Paul train without waiting for
permission from the railway company
and ran the train back and forth I'M
til everybody was out of the village
and all the lives were saved.
The inhabitants of Heinemann were
taken to Gleason. Heinemann also
saved fifteen freight cars which were
on a side track and ran them up to
Gleason. The town of Heinemann
consisted of about 70 buildings, power
plant and property of the Heinemann
Lumber company. Only one cottage
and a school house remain standing
Marathon County AbIaze.
Wausau. The forest fires in
the southeast portion of the coun-
ty are probably the worst fires
ever seen ir Marathon county and un-
less the wind dies down will lay waste
the entire southwest and about 10000
900 feet of standing timber will be de-
strOyed.
The fire covered and area fully 10
miles in length extending west and
east. Two engines are in use for fight
ing the fire, but owing to the severity
of the wind they are of little help.
The chief loser is the Hatton Lum-
Der company of New London, which
lost 100000 feet Of logs and the
Moore & Galloway Lumber company
half a million feet of hardwood and
pine logs.

Poor Man of La Crosse Takes Pearl

La Crosse. - The Excitement in

a climax when Jack Leonard, a day
laborer, took a button pearl of beauti-

at $4,000, from a clam. Leonard
turned down the offer of a clam buyer
for $1,8C0 spot cash and believes he
can get $4,000 for the gem, while
some judges of pearls estimate it is
worth $4,000. A large number of
pearls worth from $50 to $500 each
have been found in the last few days
and hundreds are wading in the river

FORMER SECRETARY WITHDRAWS
FROM OHIO GUBERNATORIAL
RACE.
JAMES A. GARFIELD WITHDRAWS
Choice Is Reached On Third Ballot
Republicans Adopt "Standpat"
Platform With Warm lndorse-
ment of Taft.

Columbus, O., July 2S.-The repub-
lican candidate for governor of Ohio
is Warren G. Harding, of Marion, once
lieutenant governor.
Despite the efforts of Senator Bur
toms Cuyahoga county delegation to
stampede the convention for Nicholas
Longworth and George B. Coxs every
effort in behalf of Judge 0. B. Brown
the Dayton man, a combination of the
progressive" with the national ad-
ministration men broke up the fight
on the third ballot. Then Cox, yield
ing to the inevitable, cast the ninety
one Hamilton votes for Harding and
that finished it. Continuation OF the
roll call was farce. The withdrawal
of James r. Garfield and Carmi A.
Thompson before the beginning of the
vote made possible combination. All
the Garfield votes outside the Cuya-
,hoga delegation, except a few that
chung grimly to the undeveiOped can
didacy of the former secretary of the
interior, were cast for Harding. Wal
ter Brown, of Toledo, and Wade II.
Ellis, state chairman, were influential
in lining up the other delegates Tor
the Marion man. The understanding
that the president was not satisfied
with the candidacy of Judge Brown
did the rest. Immediately after this,
Lieutenant Governor Francis w.
Treadway was renominated by accla-
nation.
The third ballot gave Harding TAG;
necessary to a choice, 534.
Granville w. Mooney, speaker of
the house, was nominated for secre-
tary of state.
The republican platform, as finally
evolved by the entire committee on
resolutions, is practically replica OF
the draft shown to President Taft by
Wade H. Ellis at Beverly, Mass. The
conservation plank, however, is that
presented by the Garfield men on the
committee and the Endorsement OF the
national administration is modltca-
ton of the suggestions of both sides.
AS a whole, it is claimed by the ''regu-
lars DIS Iu6lI OWN IISplIdClOl1 duu 0uO-
stance.
Garfield and Thompson Quit.
The preliminaries of the convention
disposed Of, Senator Burton took
charge.
While Senator Burton was speaking
the announcement was made that
James r. Garfield's name would not
be presented and that Carmi A.
Thompson, secretary of state, had
withdrawn his candidacy. This latter
information was given out by George
B. Cox, chairman of the Hamilton
county delegation.
Senator Dick was then cheered as
be began to read the platform.
Platform Endorses Taft.
The republican platform, which is
expected to be a model for use for
future republican state conventions as
the expression of the party in the
presidents own state, opens with a
warm Endorsement of the chief eXecu-
tive Senator Dick, who seeks re-elec-
ton, was not singled out for specific
IL dorsement.

Taft Boost PIeases.

A strong conservation plank on
lines suggested by the progressives in
the convention and an Endorsement of
President Taft, satisfactory to both
progressives and regulars, were two
prominent results of four hours work
by the subcommittee on resolutions.
When preparing to take up the tariff
plank of the platform, Congressman
Paul Rowland, member of the sub
committee, indicated a strong hope
that the entire platform will be franz
ed in a manner satisfactory to him
self and the other 'progressives."
James r. Garfield has indicated that
the presentation of his name as a can
didate for governor will depend upon
the platform and he has left the pro-
gressive end of the fight for radical
platform in Congressman Howland's
hands

Bryan's Defeat Realized.
When two-thirds had been called,

Chairman Smyth read the result, 465
against the amC ldment to 1894 in favor

volume of cheers that seemed to in
dictate their relief from the uncertain
ty that had existed as to the strength
which Mr.. Bryan might develop in
the convention.
The original motion of Mr.. Hitch
cock then was adopted.
While the committee on resolutions
was drafting its report, Governor Shall
1enberger and Mayor Dahlman of
Omaha, rivals for nomination for gov
ernor, addressed the convention.

willingness to stand for a selection on

been attacked by Mayor Dahlman and
his followers. The governor also
promised the delegates that if reflect
ed together with a Democratic legis-
lature, he would give them opportun-

the saloon question definitely.
