J. r. Splies of Marshfield has started
an action in the circuit court of this
county against the Marathon Paper
Mills Co. The man was working for
the company last summer. 1t is
stated in the complaint that while at
work near piece of machinery on
the 18th of August last steam or
water guage exploded and particles of
glass were driven into his right eye.
The result was that the eye ball was
so badly injured that it had to be re-
moved. He asks for $4,000 damages.
Shawano county newspapers are
finding fault with the amount paid
out yearly for county board sessions.
A table showing the cost of county
board sessions for 1910 in if
teen counties of the state has been
published. These counties were
selected at random and represent
every section of Wisconsin. The
table shows that Shawano county
heads the list, with Marathon county
a close follower. Older counties, with
larger property valuation and longer
sessions of the board have i.ad less ex-
pense than we. In some counties the
committee work for the entire year
has amounted to little over 800,
while in this county it summed up to
81, 527.
Geo. Ladusire was arrested Satur-
day on complaint of Geo. YELLOW,
bookkeeper for the Brooks & Ross
Lumber company OF Schofeld. The
young man had been employed by the
company and quit Friday and was
given a time slip for two and one
half days work. Needing money he
got busy with pencil and raised the
check to twelve and one-half days.
He presented the slip at the COM
pany's Office and it was cashed. A
little later the forgery was discovered
and arrest followed. Ladusire a6-
mitted his guilt to the officers. He
was bound over for trial in circuit
court. He.says his home is in Rhine
lander. He is about twenty years
years old, and evidently not very well
drilled in the school of experience.
