REX BEACH TELLS OF
 HIS LITERARY LIFE

Rex Beach looks the part of cham His appearance recalls Al Hughes's s astonishment when he learned that the biggest man he'd ever taken in his dog stage from Skagway to Dawson was a writer-not only the biggest man. but the most artistic fighter. for Hughes stayed over at Dawson after that trip in the dead of winter long enough to note how easily MT Beach cleared the landscape of people who made need less trouble
 It improved MT Hughes's opinion of authors to discover that they could have muscle and short hair. and he has never ceased to grieve over Mir. Beach's loss of the two claims he staked out near Dawson They turned out to be two of the richest claims in the Yukon. But there is a story that had he not lost those claims he might never have written "The Spoilers" and SO would not have turned ont to b. one of Americas successful writers.
 When seen fin his lakeside home Mir. Beach is so quiet and speaks in such low. even tones that the background of adventure in his life is difficult ta realize. There are many authorities for the statement that his reputation in Alaska is of the highest That is. he was never regarded as a tenderfoot. but was received as an equal by the seasoned frontiersmen.

WARNS MANUFACTURERS.
Circulars Send Out Regarding the New
Employer IS Liability Bill.

Circulars are being sent out by a
number Of accident insurance com
panies advising manufacturers not to
too hastily elect to come under the new
employers liability law at this time,
but rather to await the kigh court rul-
ing as to its constitutionality In the
state of New York, one circular states,
q similar law was declared unconstitu-
tional, and settlements made under its
provisions invalid. AS a result humid
reds of suits were started under the
common law on claims previously ad-
justed and paid under the compensa-
ton act.
At the same time, the circular states
the companies are willing to furnish
insurance for manufacturers who do
elect to come under the provisions of
tie new law.
"The employer who does not file
with the industrial accident board no
tice of election to become subject to
the new law the circular says, "will
remain subject to the laws heretofore
existing, except that he can no longer
plead the defenses under the com
mon law known as assumption Of
risk and fellow servant. -

GETS YEAR IN PRISON.
G. r. Angenendt Charged With Attack
ing Woman Goes to Waupun.


In the municipal court late Monday
afternoon George -Angenendt, arrested
on Sunday afternoon on a charge Of
assaulting Mrs. Matt Levandowski
with intent to do great bodily harm,
pleaded guilty to thes charge against
him and Judge Randall sentenced him
to a year at hard labor in the state
prison at Waupun. The assault was a
particular cruel one and it seemed
to have been an unprovoked one.
Angenendt was sullen when lie was ar
raigned in court and insisted that he
wanted to get rid Of the case at once.
He was advised that he would be Civ
en- chance to get an attorney, but he
insisted that he did not want anything
but to have the matter closed up. All
ter the court had imposed sentence
Angenendt did not feel so strong in
the matter and he made plea for
leniency but the court declined to
change the sentence. Mrs. Levandow-
sky was SO seriously injured that she
is confined to her bed today, but there
is no danger Of her injuries resulting
fatally.

BOTH SIDES WIN A VICTORY
Contrasting Heirs Secure Property
Through Deed Antedating the Will
While Others Have Satisfaction of
Having viii Admitted.

The final chapter in the long fight
over the will of William Brook, once a
prominent farmer In the town of
Brighton, was written in the county
court today when stipulation was fled
for the dismissal of the appeal from
the decision of the county court in ad-
hitting the will to probate and it is
understood that there will be no furth-
er court action in the matter.
Brook died years ago and at the time
of his death it was claimed that he
had made will by which Mrs. Sarah
Martin was given the bulk of his prop
erty. The will, however, was alleged to
have been destroyed within few hours
after the death of the testator and
other relatives claimed the property.
When the case came up in the county
court evidence was brought to show
that the will had been tor. up without
knowledge and after the death of the
testator and Judge Slosson after hear
ing great amount Of evidence decid-
ed that the property should be divided
in keeping with the provisions of the
will which had been destroyed.
In the meantime, however, a deed
executed by William Brook just before
his death dividing his property among
relatives had been recorded with the
register of deeds and suit was
brought to set aside this deed. Judge
Belden recently held tnat the deed must
stand and this practically disposed Of
the property covered by the WILL The
attorneys for Mrs. Martin holding that
as the deed antedated the filing Of the
will that it would be of no value in
disposing of the real estate covered
by the deed and the suit was dropped.
The final settlement seems to be a
victory for both parties. The relatives
who claimed that the will was wrong
fully. destroyed had the satisfaction
of having the alleged contents of it
admitted to probate, but James Brook
and other relatives. who had opposed
the probate of the will secured posses
sion of the property through the deed.
The estate was valued at about
$4,000 and the long continued fight
over the division of it was of great
interest to the people of the western
part of the county among whom Brook
and the heirs to the estate were we'll
known. The case had been in the
courts for more than three years and
the filing of the order today will made
possible the allowance Of the final ac-
count of the executor under the will.

STUDY FARM MANAGEMENT
Students at Madison Receive Practica
knowledge Of Agriculture.

Studying farm management in over
alls on the farms of the state in Wis
consin has been the experience during
the past few weeks of class of agri-
cultural students from the University
of Wisconsin. Prof. d. H. Otis, in
charge of the department. of farm man
agement of the college of agriculture
OF the university, planned the course
and had personal charge of the class
during the three weeks it was in SEES
sion. The students camped first in a
COW pasture near Bethesda Crossing
in Waukesha county and after study
ing the farms in that vicinity careful
ly, they moved their camp to an or
chard at Rosendale in Fond du Lac
county.
The farmers of the vicinity conduct
ed the class over their farms and ,ex-
planned the methods they had been US
ing, telling of the crops that had been
grown on each field, the drainage sys-
tenn, the barns, the live stock, ETC.
During this trip the students asked
many questions and took notes on the
arrangements of the farm and methods
used. Each farm was carefully map
ped out and records made showing the
methods of handling it.
Data regarding yield of crops and
money made from various sources were
furnished by many farmers, and the
students compared methods used by
different men and the profits made by
each. Every farmer was interested in
the work and did all he could to help
the class. He in turn received much
good from the suggestions and ques-
tons asked.
This work has encouraged the young
men to return to- the farms. One Of
the class has already purchased a farm
since taking the course. With one or
two exceptions the other members of
the class have made arrangements to
work the remainder of the summer for
enterprising farmers and after grad-
uating from the college of agriculture
they&will enter into active farm work.

Water Commissioners Set
Aside $25,OOO to Provide
for Extension Of Plant
PLAN LARGE EXTENSIONS NOW

At it's regular meeting on Tuesday
evening the board Of water commission
ers made arrangements for extensive
additions to the mains Of the company
with a view Of supplying water to
many new residents of the city in the
south and southwest portions. The
board arranged for the building of a
six inch main west on Prairie avenue
to the limits of the city and an eight
inch main on Salem avenue from the
end Of the present main to the limits
of the city. Several minor extensions
were provided for and with these ex-
tensions it is thought that water can
be furnished to hundreds of patrons
who have long been seeking it. The
work Of putting in these mains will be
started at once and it is expected that
the mains will be ready for use by the
first of October The board decided
to brave the wrath Of the railroad com
mission by voting to give free water
to the Kenosha hospital and the ST.
Mary's summer home for children. 1t
was held that the hospital was one Of
the institutions of the city and that
the summer home came under the rule
ed educational institutions. -
Arrangements were made to have
all the ire hydrants in the city tested
and painted and wherever repairs are
necessary the work will be done and
the hydrants put into first class CON
dition. The board decided to make a
loan of $4,000 of the funds now in
hand to the Northwestern Loan and
Trust company, the rate of interest be-
ing three per cent. This money will he
held for the start of the fund for the
new intake and with the loan a small
amount more will be received than is
now paid on the deposits of the city
by the bank. The board had the usual
amount of routine business. No action
was taken in regard to the coal con
trac (which is to be taken up the first
Of next week.

LONG WITHOUT WATER.
Residents on South Park Avenue Have
Dry Saturday and Sunday.

People on Park avenue just south of
Eagle street, had long dry spell Sat
urday and Sunday when an eight inch
water main in the path of the trunk
sewer was broken off by the digging
machine. 1t took the department near
~ forty eight hours to take care of the
break in the mains and in the mean
time the people who had service from
the main were left without water.
They carried the supply from adjoining
streets and all the time relied on the
water works for the repair. The men
from the department worked all Sat
urday night and much of Sunday be-
fore they got the break repaired and
the water running to all the houses
again.

Lillian Micho Committed to Milwaukee
Institution by Judge Randall.

Lillian Micho was taken before
Judge Randall in the municipal court
on Tuesday Afternoon and after the
court had I& oyIaence of her way
wardness he sentenced her to the Wis
cousin Industrial School for Girls at
Milwaukee. Charges of statutory
nature were brought against the girl
and although she declared that she was
innocent of the charges the evidence
warranted her being cared for by the
state The girl is just past sixteen
years of age and she was picked up on
the complaint of her mother who de-
clared that she was not able to do any
thing with her. The mother alleged
that the girl would leave home and
remain away night after night without
giving any satisfactory statement as to
where she spent her time. She will
remain in the Milwaukee institution I'm
til she reaches the age of 81 years.
