KILLED BY SHOTGUN

Later developments in the death OF
the boy in the town of Day, recorded
in last weeks issue of the PILOT, are
these: Two sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Lutz found a shotgun in gran
ary. The younger of the boys, Irwin
was found dead later with charge
'of shot in his left chest. The older
boy, Leo, disappeared from home and
sought shelter with neighbors. From
the living boys story it would appear
that the gun exploded accidentally.
He denies that he was present at the
time of the shooting or had anything
to do with the affair. His story is TO
the effect that he was outside when
he heard the explosion of the gun;
that he went into the granary I'M
mediately afterward and found the
dead body of his brother lying on the
floor. He at once notified his sister
of the occurrence and then ran away
from home He went to a neighbor's
and sought shelter. He visited sew
eral farm houses but refused food
at any of them, although it was prof
fered HIM. The boy stoutly main
tains that he did not shoot his broth
er and from his subquent actions in
refusing food, and his manifestations
of worry, it would seem that his story
is true.
Coroner Ed. Schulze, after careful
investigation, concluded that an in
quest was unnecessary.

CAN BE CULTIVATED.

Reports from the Bureau of Indus
try, Washington, D. c., state that
the blue berry can be cultivated.
They are adapted to a peculiar soil,
found only in few sections, notably
Northern Wisconsin. 1t is said that
many people are preparing to take up
their culture. Down on the MoSinee
road and over on the west side of the
big swamp in the town Of Flieth
these berries grow wild, but there
are lands adjoining which might be
devoted to their culture. They bear
for long time during one season.
Pickers began bringing blue berries
into Wausau before the Fourth and
they are still going over the same
ground and picking more. Go down
on the street car line to Rothschild
any day and you can prove this. One
patch of berries has been known t.
bear up to October.

spirit that actuates all settlers in the
basin. The people are all boosters
from Boomtown, which is as it should
be, for the person who will decry his
home is undeserying of home. Farm
or tillable land is located in valleys,
through which streams of water run,
and are productive and lasting. One
field near by has been in crop con-
tinuously since 1883 and the soil
shows no deterioration, though this
years crop of alfalfa is considered
light, owing to lack of irrigation at
proper times, but the yield from first
cutting was greater than even full
crop of timothy even in Marathon
county, and there is the second crop
yet to cut.

KILLED BY TRAIN.

A fatal accident occurred Thursday
evening last, on the ST. Paul tracks
near the plant Of the Wausau Excel
sior Co. 1t resulted in the death of
Andrew A. Petersen, residing at 408
Cherry st.
Since the opening of the Badger
Turpentine Co.'s plant a few weeks
ago, Mr.. Petersen had been engaged
as night watchman. On the even
ing on which he met his death he was
on his way to the factory, and took a
short cut by walking up the tracks of
the St. Paul company. When he
neared the point where the accident
occurred switch engine Was backing
a logging train in on a sidetrack, and
the ''scoot'' which carries passengers
to and from Brokaw was on its way
northward. just why Mr.. Petersen
did not leave the track is unexplained.
Several people, it is claimed, saw his
danger, but thought he would step OF
the track in time to let the scoot pass,
and consequently gave no warming.
The locomotive was ON the front end
Of the train, but headed southwark.
1t struck the unfortunate man and
ground him up in such condition that
he was left terribly mangled.
Shortly after the accident the cor
oner and district attornt were sum-
moned, but concluded tEan an inquest
was unnecessary.
Mr.. Petersen was born in Norway
fifty-nine years ago and came to this
city in 1881, where he had resided
continuously since. He was a man of
industry and was highly respected by
all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife and four
children, Albert, Edwin, John and
Alma, all of this city. The funeral
was held Saturday afternoon from the
late home of the deceased, and the
services were conducted by Rev. E.
+. Lund.

A LETTER FROM THE WEST.
SHELL, WYOMING.

SHELL, WYOMING.
Friend Tbdyer:
Shell is just hamlet of about two
dozen houses including a large general
store, small church and school
house; is located on Shell creek, noted
as trout stream, and is fronted by q
large grove Of narrow leaf cottonwood
trees, and is eighteen miles east of
Greybull. The citizens of Greybull,
in addition to advantages previously
mentioned, enjoy the privileges Of
''city water works" and natural
gas for public and private light
ing as well as fuel. There are
a number of experimental oil
and gas wells in the Big Horn
basin and the results thus far are
highly satisfactory. But full devel-
opment of the field is held back by
governmental restrictions which it is
expected will be partially removed, or
so modified as to favor fuller develop
ment. There is a small oil refinery at
Cowley, in the basin, which is re-
ported as doing profitable business,
the crude oil coming from wells To-
Gated on private property.
Basin, the county seat of Big Horn
county, is a thriving city ~ of per-
haps fifteen hundred inhabitants, is
located on the Big Horn river, nine
miles south of Greybull. Though the
streets are unpayed the residents
boast that no other city in the state
has cement sidewalks, city water
works, natural gas and an electric
light plant. Notwithstanding the
dusty streets the town has lively,
enterprising and energetic appearance.
The business places are well patron
lied and include everything the sur
rounding country demands, including
banks, real estate offices and two
newspapers. The name of one. Big
Horn County Rustler, is applicable
not only to the paper in its efforts in
local advancement, but also to the

DEATH WAS ACCIDENT.

The jury empaneled to investigate
the death of Jos. Nowak of the town
of Cassel met in this city last Wednes-
day. The boy was killed on the
Wednesday previous by a rifle ball
fired by Ed. Wadzinski, a boy of
tender years. The Wadzinski, and
NoWak families live "side by each"
and are relatives, though, we are in
formed the latter part of the state
ment would never be suspected of be-
ing true, from their social intercourse.
If stories told by neighbors is true
the love of parents in one family for
those in the other has been transmit
ted to the children. But that may
have no bearing on this case. At all
events three boys of the Nowak fam
lily were out in the woods with the
Wadzinski boy, and one of the former,
Joseph, was shot. He staggered for
home, his father picking him up a
short time afterward and carrying
him to the house. The boy was
brought to st. Mary's hospital, this
city, where he died the following
morning.
The evidence produced at the in
quest was that there was no willful
intent on young Wadzinski's part of
Staying the Nowak boy, but that the
gun just event off" during a scuffle.
There was no incriminating evidence
against the boy, and there was moth
ing left for the jury to do but return
verdict to the effect that deceased
came to his death through the acci-
dental discharge of shotgun in the
hands of Edward Wadzinski.

MUST GET BUSY.

Under the provisions of the new
state aid law Chapter 337, laws OF
1917 towns can get county and state
aid for almost any kind of permanent
road improvement, if they have voted
tax, or will prior to Sept. l, 1911.
The new law is unique in the fact
that it covers not only the work of
grading, draining and surfacing with
stone or gravel, but also includes
earth road work of a permanent ma
ture, such as cutting down hills, re-
locating roads around hills, under
draining swampy places, making fills
across swamps, and, in fact, any work
that will produce a lasting improve
ment. A town must vote tax of at
least $4O0 for improving road.
Any bridge over six feet in span can
also be build with state aid under the
new law. 1t is expected that the
state will pay 20 per cent. and the
county and town each 40 per cent. of
the cost or bridges. A town must
vote a tax of at least $3.50 for building
bridge or bridges.
Towns must vote taxes for 1912
work on or before Sept. /, 1911, and
town boards must petition the county
board through the county clerk on or
before Sept. !, 1911.
Counties which wish to build roads
in 1912 with county and state funds
alone must vote county tax before
Oct. l, 1911. But if a county wishes
to proceed in the usual way with the
town, county and state each sharing
the cost, no action by the county
board is necessary until the NoYem-
Der, 1911, session.

RANCH WILD WEST SHOW
To be in Wausau Friday, Aug. 18th.
A Great Attraction.

For years, in fact as long as can be
remembered circuses have always
featured strongly feats of equestrian
ism. Riding acts have always been
the nucleus of the circus for without
them there would be no circus but
simply a vaudeville show and into
the latter the circus of late years has
apparently drifted. This is due to
the fact that the riding acts have be-
come monotonous. They are the
same today as they were long years
passed. The horse with the same
schooled canter and the rider with
the same schooled movements have
not been in the least changed. Every
rider rides the same, every horse
canters the same until their acts
have become as tiresome as the re-
peating of the multiplication tables.
There is a complete absence of any
thing refreshing or inyigorating. 1t
is forced unnatural style and one
that fails to either appeal to lovers of
good hOrsemanShip or to good horses.
With the 101 Ranch Wild West
Show which will be here Friday,
August IS, there is none of this
schooled style of riding. 1t is all
natural riding in which both the
horse and rider have the style and
opportunities to display it. There is
no forced gait to which the horse is
compelled to contine himself. There is
no set pose for the rider it is natur-
al style of riding that both the horse
and rider enjoy and meets with the
approval of those who enjoy good rid
ing. The riders with the 10l Ranch
show let them be the cowboys, cow
girls, MeXicans or Cossacks are to
the manner born. They ride with a
combination of speed, grace and dar-
ing that none other can attain. They
are at home in the saddle or bare
back and to them horseback riding
first became necessity before becom-
ing an accomplishment. They ride
because they love to ride and not be-
cause they are compelled to ride or
fall off. The same can be said of
the horse when his movements are
considered. His gait is not one that
is confined to the small ring for the
l0l Ranch show uses no rings. 1t is
in the huge arena that the horse is
seen and his opportunities are the
same as when provided with unlim-
tied space. There is no better dis
play of hOrSemanShip imaginable
than when the entire company with
speed that is astonishing sweep
around the arena There is nothing
the least artificial in the movements
of either horse or rider The display
of daring horsemanship in which the
very nerves of both horse and riders
are taxed to their very utmost. 1t is
the riding of those who know how to
ride and the movements of horses
that enter into the game with all the
vigor their bodies contain. There is
but what can be considered
true horse back riding. There is no
trained pace for every horse is steeled
for his best and every rider is on his
or her mettle. Such equestrianism
is impossible with any circus or un-
der any tent. While this natural
style of riding has done much to es-
tablish the reputation of the 10l
Ranch Wild West Show, riding is but
one of the many featuIes.

rest room and the laboratory store
room to form a recitation room.
When the decorators have completed
their work and the furniture is placed,

be added to the accommodations of
the school. While it may seem
strange to former students they will
wonder why it was not done long ago.
