boys were arrested Wednesday night
on the charge of attempting to Sc
cure $500 from E. L. Devine by black
hand methods. They are Elmer May
Charles Swalsby, and Charles Hansel
On Monday of last week Mr.. Deyin
received a letter demanding that he
leave $500 in a package near the back
door to a store and threatening him
with death on refusal to comply with
the demand.
Monday of this week a second letter
of the same purport was received by
Mr.. DeVine Mayor Paronto instruct
ed Mr.. Deyine to obey the orders in
the letter and leave a dumy package
at the place indicated. Mr.. Devine fol-
lowed out the mayors plan.
The story of the Hansen boy rs said
to place the blame on the Maynard bo
He says the three boys were in Hoff-
burgers saloon on Wednesday and
stepped out to the rear; that May
nard lit his pipe, depending on the
light to see if the package was there.
He lis said to have picked it up SO
slyly that the other two boys did not
know it and the officers near did not
observe his action.
When the boys left, the officers dis
covered that the package was gone
They took after the boys and Maynard

ed so that they had to be killed by
poisoning. Two more elephants had
wondered away from the scene OF
the accident about two miles north
from Babcock where they were cap
tured at VIM Bowdens farm. S<
of the eight camehs were killed and
partially burned. Four Shetland po-
mics were killed outright and two
horses had to be shot. ON account of
being so badly injured. Several 9TH
er animals were injured and it is ex-
pectedthat they will have to be kill
ed.
Soon after the accident occurred
and it became known in Grand
Rapids many of our citizens, visit
ed the scene of the wreck. Twelve
automobiles made the trip and about
rs of our citizens went down on the
noon train and came back Oh
the evening train. They all report it
a very bad wreck and the greatest
surprise is that not more of the men
were killed. Six were seriously in
jured, one of whom has already died
and one other is mot expected to live
thru the day. The others have been
conveyed to the Simonson Hospital
in Tomah.
It is reported that many of the
snakes, got lose I'M the wreck and
have wondered away from the scene
of the accident into the woods and
swamps nearby. The blame for the
accident is not known but it must
have BEEN carelessnesis ON somebody
part, either connected with the pass
enger or the circus trains.

DRUG STORE
Chas. Norton, Druggist, and
DR.. Tartare are Badly Burned
DIR. Tartare Answers the
Call of Death as a Result of
His Burns.

DR.. Tartare, of Mellen, who was so
seriously burned day before yester-
day, died at st. Joseph's hospital last
night at 1890. He was a young man
just starting in the practice of me-
dlclne, giving promise of most
successful career, and AIS he had
many acquaintances in Ashland, his
death has been a decided shock to
many here
1t seems that the accident which
caused Dr. Tartare his life, came
near inflicting fatal injuries en- Char
les Norton, the Mellen druggist. Day
before yesterday a boy in the rear
room of the Norton drug store dis
covered a fire. He Immediately sound
ed the warming, and Dr. Tartar and
Norton rushed out there. They
found the fire alongside of a keg of
wood alcohol, which the two picked
up and threw to one side, away
from the blaze. The heat had already
caused gas to form in the keg, and
when it was thrown down, exploded,
throwing alcohol and gas in every
direction, which instantly caught fire.
AS both Norton and Tartare were COY
cred with the alcohol, they were in
stantly enYeloped in flames, Norton
Immediately threw himself on a pile
Of dirt i'm the rear and rolled about
until the flames were extinguished,
so that his burns were rather slight.
Tartare's clothing was more sat
urated with alcohol, for the flames
burned them so fiercely he apparently
did not know what to do. He ran
around the store and when he was
in front some people grabbed him,
throwing him down ON the ground,
enveloping him with coats until the
fire was extenguished, but in the
mean time he had been terribly burn
ed about the legs and hands.-Ash-

Charles Norton spoken of in the
above article is pretty we'll known in

several years and was in charge of

ed at the same time the doctor was

so the Royal Bengal tigers with

There were some exceedingly
good features In the big show
among which were the four Lamy
Bros, doing aerial casting and re-
turn act, introducing double somer-

made the audience sit up and take
