CLAIMS INTEREST
IN ALTHEN ESTATE
T. E. Mullen Seeks to Recover
$500 but Claim is Contest
ed.
(Wausau Record. Herald.

A contest of $500 claim
against the Albert J. Anthem estate
occupied the attention of Judge
Warren in the probate court for the
last two days. The taking of testi-
mony was finished at $50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and an extra
session of the court was held last
evening to hear the arguments
which lasted until $50 o'clock. Ad-
journment was taken to February
% to give the attorneys time to pre-
pare briefs.
The claimant is T. E. Mullen of
Grand Rapids. The claim is for
compensation for services rendered
to Mr.. Anthem while he was conduct
ing the dry goods store, the charges
being $500 as commission for OBJ
tanning a loan of $4,000, $1,000 for
selling his $4,000 stock of mer-
chandise, and $500 for personal
services, including travelling ex-
penses, hotel bills, etc.
The claim is being contested ON
the grounds that Mr. Mullen is not
entitled to compensation for the
reason that he was a member of a
committee, consisting of T. E. Null
len, Orlaf Anderson and H. E. Nc
Eachron, which was to look after
those affairs without pay, excepting
Mr. Anderson.
Mr.. Mullen is represented by At
torney Orlaf Anderson, and Attor-
neys F. J. and A. H. Smith of Mer-
rill re present the Anthem estate.

A PRACTICAL TEST OF THE
ANTI-BURGLAR DEVICE

A. L. Hutchinson of WeyauWega,
invited US to practical test of a
new anti-burglar test which he gave
in the Harvey Gee building at -
o'clock Thursday. This burglar de-
vice consists of a metallic box, or
case, in which was enclosed nine bot
ties containing a patent liquid, which
is considered burglar proof for this
reason: This device is fastened to
the inner side of vault door. The
burglar in penetrating the door with
his tools disturbs this device, caus-
es it to create gas from it's liquids
and this is wholly impossible to en-
dure a nd therefore the burglar is
driven from his work. This test was
witnessed by Messrs. Guy Babcock,
Earle Pease, E. B. Redford, A. L..
Fontaine and others who were there
to judge of its merits. Mr.. Hutch
inson broke the bottles and in a Sec
ond he, as we'll as the rest of the
onlookers, were obliged to leave the
building as this gas was so strong
and offensive when inhaled that no
living person could endure it but
for an instant. Without doubt the
device will prove to be a great sue
cess in all banks or counting houses
where they have burglar vaults. Mr.
Hutchinson is state agent for this
device and will be glad to explain it
in detail to any one who is inter
ested in it. The test given here was
a severe one because the device was
placed in the center of a large room
which was more exposed, and more
leakages than the device would have
if placed in a counting house, or of
flee, where vaults are usually plac-
ed. We visited this same building
one hour and half after the test
was made and it was impossible for
us to stay within ON account of the
strong odor still in existence there
1t is our opinion that every bank
which has no electrical equipment
should protect itself with one of these
Guarantee Anti-Burglar devices.

FAVOR THE OBSERVANCE
OF THE SABBATH

At a special meeting. of the Minis
ter's Association of the city, called
Friday morning, the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted
and requested that same be published
in our city papers:
WHEREAS: Somehow a report
has gained currency, that the minis
tiers of Grand Rapids were in favor
of having certain places of amuse-
ment open on Sunday. We the minis
ters' Association of Grand Rapids,
wish hereby to state, that, as far as
this association is concerned, this
report has no foundation, in fact
whatsoever. The Association stands
squarely behind all laws of the state
and ordinances of the city, in so
far as the latter do not themselves
conflict with we'll understood state
laws, believing this position to be
for the highest interests of every
community and the duty of every
right thinking citizen. The associa-
tions position on this question as ON
all questions related thereto, cannot
therefore be better stated than by
citing the law of 1909, which says in
part: Amy person, who shall keep
open his shop, warehouse or work
house or shall do any manner of
labor, business or work, except only
works of necessity or charity or be
present at any dancing or public di-
versions, show or entertainment or
take part in any sport, game CT play
on the first day of the week shall
be punished with +" etc.-Wis-
consin statutes, 1898, Sec. 1895 as
amended, Chap 800, 1909.
If any provision or part of this
law is not approved by the conscience
Of the majority of the citizens of
the state, it ought to be repealed by
proper enactment; but as long as it
stands on the statute books it, should
be respected and enforced, lest con-
tempt for all law be endangered.
