POULTRY THIEVES CAUGHT.

Near midnight last Saturday, Jos.
Wilfer, South 9th street, heard an un-
familiar noise in his back yard and TAX
ing his gun repaired thence. He scar
ed up two young men who emerged
from his hen house and when they ran
he fired. One escaped but the other
got caught in The barb wire fence.
He thought he was shot but although
many barb wounds we're found there
was no bullet mark.
The captured raider was one Oscar
Olson. His partner who was captured
Sunday was August Hobus. Both are
about 20 years of age. The pair con-
fessed to about a dozen poultry raids
in the past month or two. They plead
ed guilty to burglary Monday morn
ing and each was given a year at the
Green Bay reformatory.

OUR HOME TOWN.

The day seldom arrives in mans
life when he ceases TO be interested in
the paper of the place that he has
once called home. Granted that it is
printed on the poorest paper, granted
that the typographical display would
make the spirit of Ben Franklin blush;
granted that there are no editorials, or
editorials that are not worth reading
grant all this, and still your feelings
and those of every other healthy NOR
tai are summed up in this little poem,
from Denver Post:
When the evenin' shade is fallin' at
the endin' o. the day,
An a feller rests from labor, smokin'
at his pipe O. clay,
There's nothin' does him so much
good, be fortune up or down,
AS the little country paper from his
Old Home Town.
1t amt thing of beauty and its print
amt always clean,
But 1t straightens out his temper
when fcller's feelin' mean,
1t takes the wrinkles off his face an
brushes off the frown,
That little country paper from his
Old Home Town.
1t tells of all the parties an the balls
of Pumpkin Row,
Bout mo spent Sunday with who's
GIRL an how the crops'll grow,
An how it keeps feller posted bout
who's up an who is down,
That little country paper from his
Old Home Town.
Now, | like to read the dailies an the
story papers, too,
An at times the yaller novels an
some other trash-don't you?
But when | want some readin' that'll
brush away frown
| want that little paper from my
Old Home Town.

REDD!n'S CHANCES eacn.

w. E. Reddin, a former Manitowoc
boy, who, as business agent of the
Milwaukee local of the Structural Iron
Workers union, is one of many defend
ants on trial at indianapolis for COM
pliciry in the dynamiting of non-union
work was on the stand several days the
past weeks. Mr. Reddin was good
witness in his own behalf. He denied
all prior knowledge Of, or connection
with the dynamiting. Correspondents
at the trial report that his open and
frank testimony, plausible explanations
and apparent honesty made very good
impre ssion and that his chances are
good for having the case against him
dropped or securing an acquital.

LOCAL MAN APPOINTED.

Jos. Connell, income tax assessor of
Manitowoc and Calumet countless has
been appointed by the Tax Commission
as a member of Il committee of three
to reassess the town of Chase, Oconto
county. The other members are Chas.
Christensen and George Cormier, both
of Green Bay. We don't know the
Green Bay men but we can safely say
that the tax commission have shown
good judgment in the selection of Mr..
Connell He is hard worker, keen
student of taxation and a sincere ad-
vocate of just and equitable assessment.
He is honest, levelheaded and true to
his convictions and the distinction con-
ferred upon him by the Tax Commits
sion is well deserved.

BIG STEAMER UP RIVER.

The steamer Baker, boat of 1900
tons capacity, 600 feet long and 5S feet
beam held up traffic at Sth street
bridge over an hour last Friday. The
north channel of the bridge is little
wider than the other because of the
absence of clusters of spring piling
placed for protection in the south chan
mel which is ordinarily used because of
its greater depth. Because of thegreat
width the steamer took the wider draw
and grounded. After pumping out her
water ballast she passed up safely.
The boat is the largest one ever in the
upper harbor and is there for repairs
at the Dry Dock Company's yard.

BRILLIANT SOCIAL FUNCTION.

Mr.. and Mrs. L. f. Geer, Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. c.. West and Mr.. and Mrs.
George Wits entertained at dancing
party at the Opera house last Friday
evening. Over $50 guests were in at
tendance. The hall was prettily de-
corated. The Gloe Naidl orchestra
performed up to their reputation. The
gowns included many new artistic cre-
ations. The affair was one which will
probably long remain an ideal to which
hosts will aspire.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

IMPROVEMENTS -Notwithstanding
the dullness in business caused by the
war, in other towns, we have had
severed substantial buildings erected
in Manitowoc during the past season.
We will particularly mention the
handsome store erected by our enter
prising fellow citizen, Mr.. O. Torrison,
near the north end of the bridge. At
a heavy outlay of money he has erect
ed a splendid building, which, for size
and design, can hardly be excelled in
this or any other western town. It's
dimensions are very large, and it is
handsomely finished and ornamented
inside. The painting and granting of
it's interior departments is of the best
artistic skill, and the store, in all its
Accommodations and conveniences to
purchasers, is all that could be asked.
Mr. Torrison is one of our live mer-
chants, who, by honest and fair deal
ing, has won an enviable reputation
among our business men. BY liberal
ity to his customers, and business
qualifications, he has succeeded in at
tanning position second to no other
merchant in northern Wisconsin, and
we hope he will continue to increase
his already heavy business. He is now
moving his stock of goods from his old
face of business to his new store, and
t1hl be happy to see his old customers
and many new ones at his new estab-
lishment.

ANOTHER CITY SUIT.

"Wednesday morning suit was COM
menced by VIM. Rahr, Sr., to test
Mayor Stolze's right to hold the office
of city water commissioner while he Is
mayor of the city. The complaint al
leges that the city council erred i'll
October 1911, in electing Mr.. Stolze as
commissioner for two years instead OF
for term ending April, l9l3,as the or
dinance provides, and that he was there
fore not legally elected and that, any
way, he cannot be water commission
er because the Office is incompatible
and inconsistent with the office OF
mayor" The mayor claims that he
did not want the Office Of water COM
missioner and that he was coaxed to
accept it. He is reported as believing
that the offices are not Incompatible.
In the suit against the city and city
officers in regard to the alleged mis-
use of the city sinking fund, the city
attorney having informed the officers
that he could not act as their attorney
but only for the city, the officers have
retained A. L. Hougen to appear for
them and he, it is understood, will file
for such officers as appear, an answer
separate from the city's answer to be
filed by the city attorney. 1t is rumor-
ed that some of the officers who are
defendants will not answer the COM
plant.

p. j. Smalley of Caledonia. Mimi,
was in the city a few days last week,
and made the Pilot office call. Small
ley 'talls like book" on the tariff
question. He does not know his own
worth as newspaper writer and it
seems crime TO waste such talent as
his in the Office Of a local newspaper.
Some good, Hourishing metropolitan
daily could do a mighty good thing for
itself TO get Mr.. Smalley on its editor
ial staff. There is by no means an
abundance Of such material as is In his
composition, and it is practically vast

Capt Tim Kelley reached his home
on Saturday last, one OF the last to
close the season. Among the many
men In whose reputation on the lakes
Manitowoc may justly take pride,
there is none who excels "rim," who

boy.

Manitowoc. That's one point gained.

TWENTY-FIVE Y ESRS AGO.


Mrs. j. l.. Edwards of this city died
on Friday last after an illness of one
year and at the age of S3. She came
to Manitowoc in 1896 and was the old
est resident in the county, having
come here one year before Mr.. Perry
Smith. There were no white people
residing permanently at Mantowoc
when she came here with her family.
There were some people living at
Manltowoc Rapids but all those have
since left or died. She was married in
New Jersey and her children and hus-
band came here with her. Her son
Perry was born here and is the oldest
native born" now living in the
county. Mrs. Edwards never lived
elsewhere since coming to Manitowoc.
She had family of nine children, the
sons being Henry, Joseph, Dan and
Perry. The old lady saw many chang
es take place in the county in the half
century she lived here not the least of
which is the complete change of pop
ulation. Her funeral took place on
Sunday last.
