Worker organizer on one of the main
streets of Trinidad. Gerald Lippiatt,
who had been doing organizing work
in the northern coal fields, was sent
to Trinidad to act in a similar capac-
ity. Detectives were at once placed
on his trail and began to use their
usual intimidating tactics. When the
organizer resented this he was shot
down. each gun man firing three shots.

able TO fire one shot. which lodged In

ter interests OF the miners.

Stop Thugs in
Copper Region
Governor Ferris Asked to
Visit Strike Zone
War Lord and Sheriff Told Of the Law
as to Gun Men---Troops Are
to Be Recalled

Reports from Calumet, M1ch., CEN
ter OF the copper strike, say the whole
sale employment of thugs, gunmen and
ex-convicts from outside the state as
deputy sheriffs by the seryile sheriff,
James Cruise, has at last met with a
slight rebuke.
Governor Ferris has sent by wire
copy of Section 1886 of the compiled
laws to General Abbey, war lord of
the strike zone, and to Sheriff Cruise,
as follows:
NO sheriff in this state shall ap-
point any undersheriff as deputy sher-
iff except the person to be appointed
shall have been a bona fide resident
of the county in which the appoint
ment is made for three months next
preceding the time of appointment
After meeting of the military
board here it was practically decided
that the movement to recall the
troops would be started at once. 1t
is expected that some of the troops
will leave tonight
This plan for the removal of the
troops has met with approval of Gov
enor Ferris.
EVEN WEAk-kNEED STICK.
Renewed efforts to lure few of the
weakened among the strikers back
to work has met with continued fail
ure General Manager James Nc
Naughton announces that he will not
meet any of the demands of the strik-
ers.
The so-called representatives of the
men whom the company was trying
to stampede back to work made the
same demands as the union ysRfesen-
tatives. with the exception tha~ ~they
do not seek the recognition of any or
ganization. They received deaf ear
from Manager McNaughton
The small crowd of hopefuls heard
their representatives give the result
OF their conference with the copper
king. and this resulted in considerable
difference. as it was believed that rec
ognition of the Western Federation
was all that stood between the strike
and settlement
Continued activity on the part of
the imported thugs to stir up strife
has gone so far that it has even met
with rebuke from the militia officials.
THUGS EXERCISE GUNS.
In Calumet the sound of shooting
last night echoed from all four direc-
tions and almost invariably they could
be distinguished as revolver shots, in
dicating that the special deputies, or
the so-called strong-arm squad were
exercising their pistols.
Major Gansser reported that the
shooting in the vicinity of shaft No.
was rather promiscuous and all from
revolvers. He added that he had
taken occasion to give one of the spe-
cial deputies of the Calumet & Hecla
a tongue-lashing for unnecessary use
of his revolver.
The union officials point out that
they are straining every nerve to pre-
serve peace and that if disorders do
occur it must be charged to the deter
mination of the operators to create
an apparent need for a military
guard. In the meantime not an effort
is being made to take ore anywhere
along the sixty-eight miles of the cop
per range.

DEATH OF E. e. LA DU.

On Friday, Dec. 10Th, 1913, E. i.
La Du died at his home in Mosinee
from complications due to advanced
age. He was so years of age, having
been born Feb. Is, 1888, in Verona,
Oneida county, N. Y. He came to
Mosinee in 1866, being then engaged
in the ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal church. He was ordained

at Mosinee, Wausau, Jennie, Knowl-
ton and Eau Pleine. He followed the
business of saw filler for many years.
His home has been in Mosinee, prac-
tically, since 1866. He was an able
writer and speaker and occasionally
during these years has given time
to preaching. In 1907, he wrote a
book on early and Late Mosinee."
He was united in marriage to Sarah
J. Ayres, at Richmond, Pa, in 1852,
and TO them were born five children,
of whom two survive, Willis E. of

CORRECTING ABUSES.

1t has been common practice in
our city for non-subscriberS of the
Wausau telephone to go about and
make use of whatever telephone was
nearest of access. In many stores,
telephones have been placed near doors,
and in residences there is no doubt
some of the phones are paid for by
the help, perhaps of several families.
At a recent meeting of the directors
of the Wausau Telephone Co., the
following rule was adopted which
has been approved of by tine State
Railroad Commission
"All subscribers who allow che use
of their telephones by persons not en-
titled TO use the same, shall collect
the non-snbscribers toll charge from
such persons. If any subscriber
neglects or refuses to collect such a
non-subscriber charge the Company
shall have the privilege of installing
a pay telephone in that subscribers
premises
This is to be enforced to the letter
by the company.

SUSPENDED OPERATIONS.

The United States Laboratory, the
Forest Service station, located in this
city and used for experimental work
in grinding native timber for paper
making, has served its purpose here
With good results and the machinery
is TO be moved to Madison.
The building in which it was housed
was erected and rented to the concern
by the Street Railroad Co., and is a
large, well constructed brick and
stone building, comparatively fire
proof and would be splendid build
ing for the permanent establishment
of some new enterprise in this city.
The Advancement Association doubt
less will take up this matter and
push the project.
George McNaughton. who has had
charge of this establishment for some
time, and his assistants, S. Z. Lunak
and G. X. Textor, go TO Madison to
enter the station there and TO leave
for there the first of the coming year,
winding up the business here. by that
time and shipping the machinery.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

Every store in this city is coming
in for its full share of the big rush
or in other words, the Christmas
shopping. One can hardly take
walk down Third or anv one of the
principal streets of our city without
seeing several people standing at
every window, mostly women, ex-
aiming by sharp glances the goods on
exhibition and then one by one they
file into the stores to secure the de-
sired gifts which are taken to the
home and there in dresser drawer
await the merry Christmas morning
when the gift is handed out to some
loved one.
By next Thursday, from present
day appearances, the store-keeperS
will be obliged to order new shipments
with which to fill up the holes made
by the holiday sales. The per-
feet weather up to date has per-
haps been one important factor as
many farmers have come good dis
tances to spend the day in "Wausau"
and there TO make ready for the big

The Farmers Produce Co. expert
enced the loss of a valuable horse,
the wrecking of a delivery wagon and
the destruction of harness and some
delivery goods Saturday morning.
The driver of the rig was delivering
goods on his rounds at about 1000
that morning and left his horse tied
on East Washington street. The
horse broke away and tore madly up
the street and in attempting to cross
the st. Paul railroad tracks ran into
the 1920 south-bound passenger train.
The animal was thrown under coach
and badly mangled, dying few min
utes later. 1t is alleged that the
gates at the crossing at the time were
not down. The damage to the Pro-
duce company is said to be about $500.
Misses Ruth Tobey, Elsie Oberg
and Florence Oberg and Messrs.
Argyle johnson, Curtis Boyce and
Wellington Nichols, students at Law
renee college, viii arrive home to-
morrow to spend the holiday vaca-
ton.

WARNER WINTERS.

Warm summerlike winters that will
soon transform the great northwest
into southern paradise will be the
common occurrence from now on &C
cording to Weather Observer Cowdrick
of the government station at Hough-
ton, Michigan. The observer bases
his deduction on the fact, now gene
rally conceded, that the Japan cur
rent which for ages has given Alaska
and the Canadian northwest temper
ate climate, has been diverted by
volcanic disturbances in the ocean
bed off the Aleutain islands. He says
that the high barometer area TO
which can be traced weather con-
ditions in this latitude has been found
in the latitude of Puget sound, and
this would indicate warmer weather
in this latitude.

nan and Girl Created a Sensation at
Norrie.-Man is Under Heavy Bail.

He thought Clara would ill the bill
ana as she started off to do the errand

last seen or her until Thursday even
ing at BirnamWood. When the gilr
did not return to her home a search

Green Bay that he was a bad charac-
ter, and that letter would be writ
ten later. 1t was also learned that he
had been with the girl before, who is
mentally weak, that he had succeed
ed in getting her away from home by
a promise of marriage and by making
her believe he was possessed of
wealth, when in fact he did not have
enough to pay for a ticket to Birnam-
wood or to buy meal Of victuals, so
the girl, at least. had nothing to eat
from the time she left home until
arrested. The girl was left at her
home near Norrie, and later, her
father came to Wausau and said
she was incorrigible and should be
placed in reform school.

Thomas Wesley was brought before

liminary examination and was held
for trial at the circuit court under

course, could not furnish, and was
