Co. G arrived home Friday night
after a weeks encampment on the
state military reservation near Camp
Douglas. The boys experienced in
tensely hot weather the first three
days in camp, and some of the work
was abandoned on that account. The
boys believe that the Third sustained
it's name as the Shooting Third, "
and piled up rife scores which will
keep the other military organizations
busy to equal or surpass Major
Abraham of Wausau had his second
experience this year as a field officer.
While turning the corner at Third
Ave. and Garfield Ave. Sunday after
noon a collision occurred between a
bicycle rider and an automobile The
latter was being driven by Ben
Wiechmann while the bicycle was
ridden by Frank Lczynski. The
latter was thrown off the wheel and
considerably injured. He was at once
put into the auto and hurried to a
physician. Severe bruizes have since
confined him to his bed. 1t was an
unavoidable accident, both turning
the corner at the same time, but Mr..
Wiechmann having the greater mo-
mentum Of the two the bicycle rider
was the one injured.
Sprains require careful treatment.

Posts for ornamental lights are
being erected on Washington street.
Similar lights will ornament Scott
street. The posts for both streets are
being manufactured by one of our
local foundries. Foundations for
pavements on both streets, one block
east of Third will be laid this week,
and after the pavements are laid
Wausau will have one block of brick
pavement to experiment with-on
Washington street. The work of
paving Third street has been delayed
the past few days, owing to the non
arrival of pitch filler. The street
railroad company is completing it's
paving, from the intersection of Scott
street nOrthWard.
We are informed that during the
past week several car loads of cattle
have been shipped in to points along
the Northwestern road between this
city and Marshfield and sold to farm
ers. The prices the animals brought
was ridiculously low, but the owners
had to sacrifice them. The cattle
were taken off ranges in the West
and Southwest where the drought has
destroyed pasturage and dried up
water source. The animals were in
poor condition, but with abundant
pasturage, such as we have here this
season, they will soon pick up. A
year ago conditions in this section
were reversed, and farmers of Mara
thon county were selling their herds
to avoid buying hay. The folly of do
ing so has been proven to them.
Judge Warren believes that there
is whole lot of truth to the old
adage that misfortures never come
singly. A few days ago some chill
dren went onto his lawn during his alb
sence and turned on the water in
the pipe which feeds his lawn hose.
This was during the hours when
sprinkling is prohibited. AS a result
the water was turned off by the city,
costing him $500 to have it turned
on again. Yesterday morning, be-
fore the hours of daylight, someone
broke into his chicken coop and got
away with his flock of prize White
Wyandotte and Rhode Island Shang
chickens. The latter he valued for
the reason that it represented part
of the prize-winning flock of VIM.

The police had considerable trouble
this week with one legged bum who
arrived in town on Wednesday. At
