Fred higgins Killed

Thursday afternoon at about four
o'clock, Fred Higgins was instantly
killed while working in the woods
for the Ellingson Lumber Co. few
miles southeast of town
The accident by which he met his
death was a peculiar and very un-
usual one. He was skidding and had
two small logs on a chain One of
the logs, small password about 7
or 8 inches through, struck root
and raised about five feet in the
air end then swinging around. Mr.
Higgins saw it coming and after
calling to the team to stop tried to
run away from the oncoming log. He
stumbled and fell with his head and
shoulders against another log and
while in this position was struck
across the head and neck by the up
raised log. Those with him at the
time took the log off of him and
seeing that he was badly injured at
least hitched up team and hurried
him into town and called in DR.. Ba-
ker. He was dead and an examina-
ton showed that death must have
been instantaneous.
The body was prepared and taken
on the early morning train to his
home near Stevens Point He was
man, aged about 55 years.
and what is to be deplored leaves his
family without insurance.

Poor old William Sulxer seems tt
 be in a very peculiar nx just at pre-
 sent. He Is being accused of all sorts of things according to the exchanged and Tammany is blamed for 1t all Another offence with which he is now charged is that he committed perjury in connection with case in which he was employed as lawyer. The breach of promise suit of Miss Hopkins is
 another little difficulty which he is
 compelled to surmount. but, indeed.
 the chances are that before Tammany
 gets rid of our old half-townsman he
 will have an awful lot more to answer
 for than he had ever dreamt of before
 he decided in an evil hour to reach the highest place in the gift of the Empire state.
 Tammany is an old organization of astute politicians and Governor Bili is only one. No doubt at all in the world William secured his elevation to gubernatorial honors by peddling tust as much as Charley Murphy ever peddled. and his recent alliance with the modest William Randolph Hearst
 hardly bespeaks for him immunity from some very severe handling at ti., hands or a good msny clti'"ns ho have the homo: . :at.I under his sage and brilliant rule. William Sulxer is a politiclaa par excellence. He is one of thos. men who psdd , their way into leglsi: tures while other c,s sses of men prefer to express their opinions openly and refuse to paLder to every kind and cvery clique just for the sake of securing political po- sition. Politicians are needed but there are some kinds of politicians who first use any old kind of aid only to throw over the men that aided them when they reach their goal. Sul- ger was with Tammany hall as long as the help of Tamamny hall was needed. Now that he sits in the gub. ernatorial chair of the greatest state in the union he forgets those who stood by him In evn days although they were quite respectable enough
 to be his associates when there were
 shoulders required upon which to step
 into power. Such is politics now and
 forever more.
