doctor and the latter had advised
against it, and had advised that he
be careful of his wife and try not

Had Had Trouble With Wife.
Judge Comstock asked County At
tOrney Plymat what he knew about
the case, and Mr.. Plymat replied
that he had been informed that the
defendant had had trouble with his
wife during the last few months, at
times when he had been drinking.
1t was reported in the neighborhood
that both women were a little off.
DanielsOn had come home last even
ing and there had been a row, and
the old lady had run to the enter
tainment near by and given the
alarm.
Constable Nelson was asked what
he knew of the assault, but it ap
peared that he did not know any
thing of it except that Mrs. Daniel.
son had told him that she had been
hurt and that her nose had bled.
Mr.. Nelson had not inquired of her
particularly and didn't know what
her statement was.
Directed to Bring Wife.
Judge Comstock advised the con.
stable that he should have investi.
gated the matter thoroughly before
making the arrest and signing the
complaint, and should have gotten a
complete statement from the wife.
He adjourned the hearing until next
Saturday at 8 a. M, and directed
Danielson to bring his wife to Man
kato with him that day if he possibly
could.

One man, Thomas Salman, was in
jured in the fire at Madison Lake
yesterday. Mr.. Salman, while his
building was burning, thought of his
private papers, and dashed back into
the burning structure for them. His
clothing took fire from the sparks
and intense heat, and he was badly
burned before the flames could be
extinguished. He is under the care
of physician, but is suffering Sc
verely.
Scene of Desolation.
Madison Lake presents a scene of
place of what was place full of life
and energy a couple of days ago.
The south wall of the Peoples
State bank, which yesterday was
badly cracked and dangerous appear
ing, has fallen. The other walls are
standing, including those of the Roe
mer and Sullivan saloons.
Postmaster Lyons has opened his
postOffice again in the village hall.
until permanent building can be
erected. Up to this forenoon, he had
not attempted to open his safe, that
lay in the ashes of his old postoffice
and store building. Neither had an
attempt been made to open the vault
of the Peoples State bank. 1t was
desired to have the vault cooled off
before attempting to open it, but this
weather ought to do that.
Offer for the Hotel
1t is stated that James Mape yes
terday telegraphed an offer of $4,000
to the owner of the Lake House, for
that property. In case he gets the
building, it is understood that he will
reopen his saloon there and conduct
the house. Mr.. Mape carried $500
insurance on his saloon building and
stock.
The Corner saloon which was
burned, was conducted by John and
Michael Sullivan, although the
building was the property of the En-
gesser Brewing company of ST. Pc
ter Michael Sullivan lived over the
saloon with his bride of a year His
household goods were entirely de-
stroyed, and he carried no insurance
1t is stated that Sullivan Bros. car
ried no insurance on their saloon
stock and fixtures. The loss on
building, stock and household goods
may amount to $4,000.
| The Roemer saloon building next
door was owned by Theodore Roemer
and son, Joseph III. Roemer, and both
conducted the saloon.
Had No Night Watch.

ing night watch all night. Where

The insurance adjusters have not
yet arrived, and there has not been
much talk of rebuilding. That will
come after the losses have been ad-
justed. Everything is being left as
it is until the adjusters can view the
scene. 1t is not expected that there
will be any salvage to amount to
anything.

DIR. MCCONNELL ON
 THE THREE CR0SSFS'
Large Congregation Heard Texas Evangelist at the First Baptist Church Last Night-WilI Hold
 Meetings Daily.

The Three Crosses" was the theme of the sermon of the Texas evange- list, Dr. F. c. Mcconnell at the First Baptist church last night and the re- vlval service was attended by a large congregation. The speaker handled his subject in such a way and in such realistic manner Ithat his hearers pictured the three crosses before them, that described as having Jesus upon it and the other two with the two thieves, one who accepted him as the Savior, and the other who scCrn- ed him. Dr. Mcconnell shows from the manner in which he presents his sermons that he is the man to arous, the people to their sense of duty. From the way the meeting has been launched the members are confident that they are at the beginning of what prom ses to be great revival. You who are not availing yourselves of the opportunity to hear him." said one of his audience last night, ''are miss ing "a most valuable le son When you have once heard him you will regret having missed any of h. ser mons.

SAWYER AND AUSTIN
 GETS INJUNCTION
Wants to Make Spur Track COnnec- ton With Iron Mountain Here Tracks Torn Up and Employees
 Told to Stay off Railroad

1 In the absence of Judge John NJ. Elliott, of the Jefferson chancery court, Circuit Judge A. B. Grace yes- terday granted a temporary injunc- tion to the Sawyer and Austin Lum- Der Company, restraining the Iron Mountain railroad company from in- te"fering with that comtany in it's ef- forts to connect a spur track to the main line of the old Pine Bluff and Western Railway, which is now own- ed and operated by the Iron Moun- tain. The company built spur track from it's timber lands and con- nected it with the Pine Bluff and Western tracks, but before they could make use of same, several Iron Moun- tain crews tore them up and the lum- Der eompanys employees were ordered to stay off the the Iron Mountains s right of way. The Lumber company asks that the injunction be made per petual upon final hearing.
 Tn it's petition the Lumber com- pany declares that it started a spur track on the main line of the Pine Bluff and Western road for a dis tance of seven miles through it's own lands; that it is absolutely necessary that it be built in order to enable the company to move lumber from it's lands to the big Sawyer and Austin mill here. On October it made a connection with the Iron Mountain railroad, but the spur tracks were torn up. The lumber company says it has a contract with the old Pine Bluff and Western road for such connections and that the contract has been in effect since November ?, 1905 Ten spur tracks have been connected fa ith the Ton Mountain tracks in the past.
 The action of the Iron Mountain in tearing up its tracks and preventing it's employees from coming onto it's right of way is unjustss ss@ssays the plaintiffs, and will necessitate the shutting down of the big lumber mill here. It will also result in the loss of profits and put the company to an expense of $500 day in the event the company has to shut down it's mill and leave it's employees idle. The lum- Der company also charges that it can- rot fill orders now on hand unless the spur tracks is connected with the. Iron Mountain road. The plaintiffs are represented by Attorneys Dana her and Danaher.

Der when the annual horse show is
held.
Now fashionable Newport, for prac-
teal purposes, has largely abandoned
horses. You know you can spend
rather more money on a faddy, high
pOwer motor car and make more
show for the benefit of your neighbor
and the supposedly envious onlookers
than is possible with a carriage and the
oostliest blooded horses. And, then.
too, the motor is really a convenience
where, as in Newport. you may wish
to make late afternoon call or dine
at residence ten miles from your
home. or when you wish to indulge in
Newport's newest fad of motoring to
the neighboring resort of Narragan-
sett Pier for a dip in the surf or a
view of the polo games. But for all
that Newport has come TO despise His
Majesty, the Horse. practically, she
yet affects a great love for him theO-
retically. Moreover. her stables yet
contain enough blue ribboners to
make worth while the annual show
