A TRAGIC DEATH
FARMER GOES INSANE OR GETS
DESPONDENT AND
SUICIDES BY DYNAMITE ROUTE
Peter Fluri, an Old Resident, Ends
Life. in Spectacular Manner

Peter Fluri, aged 50, for many
years resident of this city and vi
cinity committed suicide by the dv-
Mantle route at about nine o'clock
Tuesday morning on the farm mile
and half south of the city on which
he and his wife had been living. Mr..
t1url had sold this farm to Henry
Awe last fall, but he and his wife
had resided on it since with Mr..
Awe. During the winter Mr.. Fluri
visited in the southern part of the
state.
Mr.. Awe was near Mr.. Fluri at the
time he committed the rash act.
Fluri went into a shed where the
dynamite was kept and when he
emerged held a stick of the explo-
sive, with the fuse lit in his hand.
The explosion ensued and Fluri was
disemboweled besides being other
wise mangled in terrible manner.
Awe was stunned for a few mo-
ments by the shock. but was unin-
Jured and summoned DR.. Stephen
son, who reached the scene while
Fluri was still alive and conscious,
although suffering eXcruciating agony.
Death put an end to his suffering
an hour and a half after the explo-
sion
There are several conjectures as
to his motive for the rash act State
ments made during his dying mo-
ments indicated that he thought he
had some kind of a grievance against
Awe which prompted the deed.
Mr.. Fluri was we'll known and re-
spected. He at one time conducted
the Ladysmith House, where Gesell's
restaurant is now located. He left
no children.
The funeral was held Tuesday af-
burial being at Riverside
The man who ate breakfast a healthy
man was i'll his grave before supper
time. Surely this is an age of speed.

PUBLICITY NEEDED
TO DEVELOP STATE

There never was time in the re-
cent history of the state of Wiscon-
sin when the demand for land for
actual settlement was as great as
now, and there never was a time
when the state was in as good a con-
dltlon to show the value of it's un-
developed land resources. Not only
have We the publicity organizations
of which the Wisconsin Advancement
association is the leader, but the sta
tlstlcs of the recent United States
census furnish material of which
there can be no doubt and which con-
vlnces the careful reader that Wis
consln has the opportunity he wants.
If the state legislature will place
the state board of immigration up-
on solid footing it will add another
agency for publicity that is badly
needed and that will return, perpet-
ual dividends upon the investment
Other states think our people are
worth making an effort to procure.
and we are awakening to the fact
that they are worth keeping within
the state. 1t has daWned upon the
people OF Wisconsin that the peo-
pie who leave the state do not nav
taxes for the support of our institu-
tiOns.
Other States Interested
Men who have had occasion to trav
ell in Illinois and Iowa during recent
years report that interest in Wiscon-
SIN cheap lands is increasing at
rapid rate throughout those states.
1t is doubtless true that $4,000. 900
to $2O,000,00O have yearly left the
state of Wisconsin that could as well
have been kept within the state had
there been the necessary publicity of
our resources and oportunities-add
to that an equal amount that should
nave been induced to come into the
state, and you have some idea of the
Immensity of the matter of state pub
licity
In that past the talk has been that
Wisconsin was the place for the
poor man." but that has been |
changed, with the result that instead
0f getting only poor men We are now !
getting the Well-to-do who are able to |
90 ahead with the rapid development |
)f their new homes, and incidentally |
give employment to the poorer set
,lers as may be needed.
Attracts Wealthy Persons
Among the wealthy persons who
nave been attracted to Wisconsin's
cheap lands is P. L. A. Ferguson. who
after starting the development of an
seed grain farm, purchased |
$4,000 acres and will improve if in
he form OF eighty acre farms for a
Scotch settlement
Another man of means is r. Fl.
'ritchard, of Chicago, who opened a
arm and found that it was the
cheapest and best land in America

'otato company that cleared up 500
lcres lats year and will clear 500
