LOOKING AT LOCATION
Chance of Eagle River
Securing a Woodworking
Participates Here Mon
day.

Messrs. c. A. Phelps of Phelps
and Mr.. Morrison, represent
ing a Michigan firm were in
Eagle River the first of the week
interviewing local people regard
ing the building of a woodwork
ing plant for the manufacture of
products from a 10000 acre
tract of timber land just above
Watersmeet.
The tract, which has been the
property of the Hackley-Phelps-
Bonnell Co., was sold a week
ago to a Michigan concern and
they are now seeking a location.
1t will employ in the neighbor-
hood of one hundred laborers,
and means much to the city or
village which secures it.
Mr.. Morrison, after looking
over several sites was decidedly
impressed with the location for
the company's plant just south
of Railroad street and adjoining
the c. & N. w. right-of-way on
the east. Several members of
the company will arrive here
next week or the week after to
oive nc final decision
They do not ask for electrical
power nor any great bonus,
hence there is but one thing for
Eagle River to do-goN after the
locating here of this plant. We
feel that the businessmen and
citizens are enterprising enough
to get it.

GEORGE ROGERS KILLED
Former Eagle River Man
Falls From Building at
Milwaukee Last Thursday.

George A. Rogers, at one time
connected with the Villas County
News, died at Trinity hospital,
Milwaukee, Friday morning last
from the effects of a fall from a
scaffold the day before. He was
experimenting the work on an
addition to a mailing plant and
was on a scaffold twenty feet
from the ground when he fell,
sustaining an injury to his spine
and internal injuries.
George Rogers was resident
of Eagle River from November,
1907 to June, 1910, and was an
owner of the Villas County News.
In 1910 he sold out his interest
in this paper having resumed his
former occupation as superin-
tendent of construction for. the
Sterling Construction Company
at Milwaukee and moved his
family to that city.
He was a man of sterling quail
tiles and honest to a fault. and
every man, woman, or child who
knew him never suffered by the
friendship he bestowed.
At the time of his death he was
"a years of age and leaves wife
and three children.
His remains were inferred in
the family lot at Berlin, Wis. on
Monday of this week, under
auspices of the Masonic order.

BASEBALL FODDER

Sail right, Sail right fellers,
that bunch OF imposters who
came up Sunday from Amigo to
flaw the flannel from Wiegand' S
team, couldn't be blamed. They
never saw a game of ball, let
alone attempting to play one.
Score 20 to 0 doesn't begin to
tell the tale. 1t was rotten and
not even good practise. Home
runs, 3-baggers, 2-baggers, stolen
bases-any old thing you wished
for happened. In the eighth
inning Eagle River ran in IA
scores without anyone out, then
played charley-horse until the
side was retired. Nothin' to it.

Thaw Requisition Honored

Concord, N. H., Nov. S.-Governor
Felker today honored the requisltlon
of the state of New York for Harry
K. Thaw, fugitive from Matteawan
insane hospital The case is now
transferred automatically to the led
eral courts, where writ of habeas
corpus on behalf Of Thaw is pending.
The governor based his decision on
an Indictment returned against ThaW
in New York, charging conspiracy to
escape rom the asylum.
Thaw's attorneys announced i'm
mediately they would file an amend
ment to the petition for writ of
habeas corpus, application for which
was made soon after Thaw was ar
rested.
The original petition is based on
the allegation that Thaw was indict-
ed for conspiracy by the Duchess
county grand jury, and because ex-
tradition was granted on the strength
of the New York county indictment it
is necessary to amend the petition.
Thaw was not present when Gov
ernor Felker announced his decision
to the attorneys representing the fu-
gitive and the state of New York.
He will remain here in custody of
the United States marshal and sher-
iff pending federal proceedings.
The governor declared. to refuse
extradition would be attempted su-
pervision on his part over the pro-
cedure of courts of another state
and in violation, he said, of the fed
eral constitution. He said Thaw
could sue out a habeas corpus writ
and in that way take the case into
the courts.
The attorney general advised
granting extradition.
decided that Thaw should remain
here week while attorneys prepare
the papers for procedure before the
United States court.
Thaw had no comment to make.
His mother issued a statement say
ing the governors decision was not a
shock to- her, but disappointment.
Governor Felker held that Thaw
was fugitive from justice because
he was under indictment. He said
that was sufficient to warrant his ar
rest and trial. He said he was un-
able to view that his duty included
an investigation of Thaw's mental
condition or of the guilt or innocence
of the accused.

A. A. Campbell, in the circuit court
of Wythe county, on November Z.
Governor Mann yesterday designated
Judge Staples, who presided during
the trials of the Hillsville murder
ers, to sit in these cases for Judge
Campbell
Immediately after the Allen gang
shot down the judge, Common
wealth's attorney and sheriff Of Car
roll county on March IA, 1912, fol-
lowing the conviction of Floyd AL
len, the widows of the slain officials
each instituted suit for $4,000
against the estates of Floyd and
Sidna Allen, the only two members
of the clan known to own property
of worth. At the order of Judge Sta
pies the property of the two outlaws
was at once confscated and placed
in the keeping of Acting Sheriff Ed
wards to be held pending the out
come of the suits.
On March rs, 1913, Attorneys Hair
ston and Willis, acting for the Aliens,
successfully pleaded before Judge
Staples for the granting Of the poor
exemption in the case of the families
of Floyd and Claude Allen. Except
for the small allowance given these
two families since that order, the
property is as it was when cont1scat-

The property as held by Sheriff

WOMAN GETS DEATH SENTENCE.
Must Die On GaIlows for Murder of
Her Husband.

New Haven, Con-, Nov. 6-Wlthln
fifteen minutes lis afternoon Super
.or Court Judge Lucien Burpee OF
Waterbury, sitting here, sentenced
three persons to be hanged for muir
der.
Never before in the history Of the
State had three capital sentences
been pronounced in so short a time,
and the case was the more remark
able since one of those sentenced was
q woman, Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield.
Mrs. Wakefield was convicted last
week with James Plew, of having
killed her husband last June This
afternoon, when it was time for her
to go before the Judge, she broke
down for the first time and had to
be assisted by High Sheriff Hugo and
one of deputies. Judge Burpee, who
earlier in the day had refused her a
new trial, asked her if she had any
LQluS W Soy, duo eiio WHY
Then he said:
The jury having found you
guilty, there is but one penalty. The
sentence is that you be hanged by the
neck until you are dead, March A.
1914"
Mrs. Wakefield shuddered slightly,
she turned to go and staggered.
Mrs. Charles J. Donohue, wife of the
jailor, and Salvation Army woman
helped her from the eoart room.
Then she collapsed.
Thousands are signing petitions
asking for clemency for Mrs. Wake
field. These petitions sooner or la
ter will reach Gov. Baldwin, former
Chief Justice of the State. Persons
who have followed his career on the
bench and in public life think there
is little chance of clemency after con-
viction.
James Plew, who was the main
actor in the murder of Mrs. Wake
fields husband, was sentenced to die
with her on the same day. He took
the sentence very calmly. He had
pleaded guilty after new statute
which allows a plea of guilty of kill
ing, the Judge to determine the de-
gree. Judge Burpee decided that it
was first degree. Plew asked that
his watch should go to his son.
The Murder of Wakefield.
The murder of Wakefield was par
ticularly atrocious. Plew was the
star boarder in the Wakefield home.
With the help of Mrs. Wakefield he
chloroformed Wakefield, bound him
and took him to the wilds of Chesh-
ire, where Plew shot and stabbed
him and tied him to a post. About
two weeks later Plew and Mrs. Wake
field heard that someone had seen
Wakefield on the streets, so they
went back to see the body and found
it as Plew had left it. They were cap
tured as result of this. Mrs. Wake
field told the story involving PleW
and Plew later pleaded guilty. Mrs.
Wakefield pleaded not guilty and was
tried.
Mrs. Wakefield is the first woman
ever found guilty of murder in the
first degree in Connecticut
