Anton Gorski, the young man who
accidentally shot himself last week
while hunting, is improving. He was
removed from the county hospital
last Tueseay evening, and taken to
st. Mary's hospital and on Wednesday
his arm, which was shattered by the
shot, was amputated. 1t was neces-
sary to bring considerable pressure to
bear on the father before he would
consent to the amputation. Even
after informed that the boy could not
live unless the amputation was made,
he is said to have refused to give his
consent. The boy is a big, strong,
husky lad, and his strong vitality is
all that saved his life.
According to report from Madi-
son there is little prospect of the Chi
cago and Wisconsin Valley railroad
being built any farther north than
Stevens Point in 1911. At meeting
of stockholders held recently in Chi
cago, it mas decided to begin work
next spring at Madison and Portage.
The Madison crew will work north
ward, while crews at Portage will
work both ways, and at the same
time city lines will be built. 1t will
probably be not earlier than 1912 be-
fore the work of extending the line
up through the valley from Stevens
Point to Wausau and Merrill will be-
gin. Though it is to an electric line,
the company intends to carry freight
as we'll as passengers.
J. r. Bloom Of Neenah, a deputy
state factory inspector, spent the lat
ter part of the week in the city
on official business. While here he
made an investigation of the records
of child labor permits granted, and
took exceptions to the way they have
been issued. He called the attention
of judges to that part of the law
which says that before such permit
is granted a signed recommendation
from the school principal where such
child attended school must first be
obtained, and said that that phase of
the Law had not been observed here.
He threatened to revoke all permits
which did not conform to the law and
local officials say that if he does they
will at once reissue them. So there
you are.
