council met last Tuesday night to
scan plans for new city hall. Five
architects were on hand with sketches,
each claiming 'his'n" the best. But
the aldermen are from Missouri, and
SO explanations were in order When
each sketch had been scrutinized the
committee decided that the one sub
mitted by De Gelleke & Van Ryn OF
Milwaukee was the most suitable for
Wausau's needs, and will so recon-
mend at the council meeting next
Monday evening. The aldermen who
made the selection say that if they
can make it so, the building will not
cost one cent over $4,000.
| August KrenZ, who lives out on
rural route No. 1, was injured last
Friday evening while in the city.
His horses are not used to city ways,
and took dislike to the way Wausau's
streets are torn up, and decided to
| get out of town as soon as possible.
They ran down Forest street, and
when the wagon struck one of the exca-
vations made by the street car COM
pany the wagon was overturned, and
Mr.. Krenz was thrown out. The
horses were stopped before they had
travelled much distance and the man
who had been the occupant of the
wagon a few minutes before was
picked up. He was bleeding badly
and to all appearances was badly
hurt. He was hurried to the hospi-
tai, where it was found that his
hurts were not serious, consisting
mostly of abrasions of the skin. He
returned to his home next morning.
