guarded. He walked around to the
rear to see that all WIS secure.
He was astonished 20 nd that the
kitchen window was not quite closed
Pulling himself up cautiously he peered

Across the dark kitchen the dining

He saw another hand reach across,
spectre like, and put something in the
bag.
Realizing that there were two men.
Ward dropped quickly to the ground
and stole around to the alleyway He
buried himself in the shadows, drew
his revolver and waited.
The robbers were in no hurry. For
full hour the policeman stood in the
dark ally, gun in hand, watching for
them. He was near the front of the
house. When he heard a light step in
the alleyway back of him he stepped
out.
Throw up your hands or I'll drill

emerged.

savagely.
Haugh snarled a comment as to the
ultimate destination of the policeman
"Easyi' warned Ward.
The two burglars kept UP running
fire of remarks designed to put Ward
off guard, but the six-foot bluecoat
held them steadily to the path to the
police box, a block away.
The house had been completely ran
sacked. Silverware, cutglass and ex
pensive gowns had been selected bv
the fastidious pair, carefully wrapped
up and packed.
At the Orange police station Haugh,
alias Harry Connors, was recognized
for his famous exploit of saving his
way out of the lookup there. He Is 2s
years old and said his home was 26S
Wabash avenue, Chicago. He formerly
lived In Central place, Orange. and is
well-known to the police.
Patrick Craig, commonly known as
"PaclSy," is 30 years old He said his
home was at "A Seventh street Harris
burg, Pa. He has just finished an Is
months term for stealing ring in
Montclair. He tried to sell it In
Main street store and was caught By
an Orange detective.
The kitchen door of the Disbrow
house was found open at 10 o'clock
last night and an officer went through
to see that everything was secure. He
shut the place and left.
1t Is possible that the burglars were
scared off by his approach Just as they
had reached the house. II so, they
probably entered again immediately
after he left.

GONE WEST.

George Sexmith departed last even
ing for Hobson, Montana, where he
goes to take charge Of tract of land
of ], 300 acres which he and his father,
Lamar Sexmith, purchased last fall.
1t is located in the central of the state
in the Judith Basin, said to be very
fertile and where crop failure has
never been known. 1000 acres were
soWn with winter wheat last fall and
600 acres will be broken this spring.
The coming season suitable buildings
are to be erected on the property. At
present they succeeded in renting
buildings near by which are being
supplied with help sufficient to carry
on the work of this large farm. From
here George shipped his automobile,
furniture, wagons, farm implements,
COWS, horses, ETC., in all requiring two
car loads. A traction engine will be
on the farm by the time Mr.. Sexmith
reaches there. 1t is not expected
that George will give up his home in
Wausau entirely, if this were SO, there
would be much protesting and express
sions of deep regret from his hosts of
friends. AS it is, he intends spending
his summers in Montana and winters
in Wausau. The best wishes of all
go with him to his western fields of

MASTER PAINTERS CONVEN.
TON.

Monday evening the Master Paint
ers' association of this city held a
meeting at the Commercial club
rooms on the west side to start in the
work of making preparations for the
annual state convention of the Master
Painters association of Wisconsin.
The meeting was attended by good
ly number of local members of the
association, but not as many appeared
as should have, taking into considera-
ton that this will be a state assem-
blage, at which over three hundred
delegates will participate, the most OF
them accompanied by their wives and
other members of the family. The
convention will be held on the 30th
and 3lst of July and 1st and End of
August of this year. The officers of
the local association have full faith
in the we'll known hospitality of the
city of Wausau, and have no doubts
that their guests will be royalty en-
tertained during their stay in our
city. But they also know that unless
the inviting hosts make due prepare
tions for the visiting guests, some
thing is likely to go wrong and the good
name of Wausau will receive a black
eye, as far as its reputation as a con-
vention city is concerned. For that
reason the meeting was adjourned
until the 18th of this month, to be
held at the same place, and every
person interested in the success of the
convention is urged to be present.

VALUABLE PAPER.
Framed and Presented to Our Public
Library.

A.copy of the New York Herald of
April 18th, 1865, which was found
among the papers of the late Jarvis
A. Underwood, has been framed and
presented, by the family, to the
Wausau Public Library. 1t is a six
column copy of that paper which con-
tains graphic account of the assas-
sination of Abraham Lincoln, which
occurred at $3.50 p. M, April 18th,
1865. Heavy reversed rules divide the
columns and large headings tell of
the excitement which prevailed in
that trying time of our country. II
also tells of the attempted assassina-
ton of Sec'y of State Seward and the
wounding of his two sons-Clarence
and Frederick. The paper also con-
tains the news of the evacuation of
Richmond and the collapse of the
Southern confederacy. 1t is valu-
able and interesting addition to our
public library.
WauSau should nave a historical
society, whose aim should be to gath
er up everything of interest to Wau-
sau and Marathon county. Old pa
pers of great value to coming genera
lions are being lost and destroyed.
There are many very old relics in ex-
istence; implements made by the
Indians before the white man set
foot where Wausau now stands;
papers showing the very beginning,
the growth and development of our
city and many pictures Of early days
which would be viewed with pleasure.
Why not organize such society and
add to this excellent beginning made
by Mrs. ]. A. Underwood and family?
