Julius Schley, an employee on farm
in the town of EaStOn, was found
sleeping in an alley in this city
Wednesday night, when the mercury
was chasing itself TO the bulb at the
lower end of the thermometer. 1t
was found that both his hands were
frozen. He received medical treat
ment and was then removed to one of
the hospitals. Schley came in from
the country that day, and it is said
hung around the mahogany fixtures
until he saw two objects, where there
was in reality but one. Becoming
tired he picked out nice soft place
on the ice in an alley and took flop
for the night, as lumberjack would
express it.

A libel suit has been brought here
from Forest county on change of
venue. DIR. @. O. Decker complains
that his business as a practicing
physician was damaged to the extent
of $4,000 through an alleged defam-
atory article which appeared in the
Forest Republican, a newspaper
published in Crandon by f. HI. Brady
& Son. The article referred to is one
wherein the Republican is alleged to
have stated that DR.. Decker was being
sued by one M. V. Murray, the doctor
being charged with malpractice. All
of the parties are prominent people in
Forest county. 1t appears, from the
defendants statement to be another
case wherein newspaper is made to
suffer through misinformation,
accepted in good faith from what
appeared reliable source.
